Minneapolis, Minn., May 1--Asking that it's churches throughout the world come squareiy in favor of i'm proving working conditions for wage earners, a special committee had pre- pared for presentation to the quadri- ennial general conference of the Meth odist Episcopal church, which opened today, a working program to disprove the charge that the church is not in sympathy with the poor"
 The report of the committee. which has been at work for four years. states that labor and social conditions have become such that the church must take a prominent part in them After asserting that this church had it's beginning among the poor and the bulk of it's members always have been wage .earners, the report recommends for adoption by the conference, which represents more than S,00Ooo0 mem. bers, a propaganda calling for
 Abolition of child labor.
 Reduction of working hours to the lowest practicable point Safeguarding the conditions of toll for women
 Equabe division of the profits of in dilstry
 Protection of workers from the risks of enforced employment.
 Provision for old and injured work. CTS,
 It Is expected that the demand that the church go on Geconl on these sub iects will provoke lively discussion when they come before the fun con. ference.
 When the conference convened for. a month in it's twenty session to- day, with delegates present from all parts of the world. Joseph B. Hinge. ley of Chicago was reelected secre- tary for four years.
 Reports were submitted to tho con. ference showing the total membership to be S,214,S22, with 1889 ministers, S0,39S churches and 163 local confer ences.

The Sentinel=record., 1912-05-02

When the Sentinel-Record under. took to give Hot Springs it's first real big free cooking school, not even the management of the paper realized the extent of this big practical demonstra- ton of the culinary art, kitchen con venience and the healthful prepara- ton of foods
 Il was not until the big Auditorium theater had been secured the list of pfizes arranged for and the real char acter of the demonstration studied taat the importance of this event was realized.
 Mrs. Helen Armstrong, of Chicago, who gives these practical demonstra- tions and lectures every day next week, is one of the greatest expon- ents of the culinary art in the United States, in fact her reputation is in ternational Hot Springs is indeed fortunate to secure week of the time of this celebrated woman, as up to the time of her arrival here her attention has been wholly taken up in the metropolitan centers. and Hot Springs is by far the smallest city, in point of population, in which she has ever held cooking school
 Not only will the cooking school next week prove boon to Hot Springs housewives, but it is proving one of vast importance to the busi. ness men of the city in giving them an opportunity to practically demon srate and advertise their wares be- fore the assembled housewives of the city in a manner which has never been offered before.
 A preliminary canvass of the busi- ness interests shows that the business men are alive to the opportunity, and realize that culinary demonstration of this magnitude is seldom if ever offered to city of this size. Every article which pertains to the cooking and serving of foods and the environ ment of kitchen and dining room will be brought to the direct attention of the housewives, while valuable daily demonstrations will show the women of Hot Springs where they have been losing much valuable time and ex- pending useless energy by not know ing of the conyeniences and the man ner in which to arrange and carry on their kitchen work.
 All these things will be clearly and practically set forth by Mrs. Arm strong. who is an expert in this line bringing out in clear and forceful manner the best, most healthful and economic manner of preparing foods in every household for the family of affluence and the household of the la boring man.
 Every day during the week, while Mrs. Armstrong is giving her yaiu- able lectures and demonstrations at the theater, the Sentinel-Record Will publish daily the program, menus, and q brief synopsis of the days events, and the program pages of the paper will be surrounded by the business announcements of the merchants and business men who desire the attention of the buying housewives in concen- trating the attention of the women

TWENTY BELOW ZERO.

Chicago, March 20.-A blind
ing storm of snow and sleet swept
across the North Central States
today, and continuing tonight,
heaped disaster upon transporta-
ton and communication facilities.
1t was the first day of spring.
Half hundred cities were shut
off from communication with the
rest of the world when telegraph
and telephone poles were blown
down or wires were covered with
ice until they roke.
Steam and electric railroads
were brought to a standstill and
in several instances trains were
snOwbOund. In a belt of territory
between a 100-mile and a 400-mile
radius of the great lakes the snow
fall was heaviest. In places from
five to seven inches was reported
tonight. Later temporary rise
i ntemperature was followed by a
colder blast.
The snow changed in many pla-
ces to sleet, which was blown like
SO many shot before a gale that
increased in velocity until it reach
ed nearly sixty miles an hour. At
Chicago, tempered by the lake, it.
was sixty-two miles an hour. Zero
weather was reported in several
places.
