Methodist Notes

We desire to greet our people again
through the columns Of your valuable
paper. An unusually cold January mil
itated somewhat against church attend
ance yet the the church did remarkably
well when everything is taken into
consideration. Since the weather has
moderated, the people seem anxious to
get out once more to church and of late
our congregations have been most
excellent.
We are especially happy in our reor-
ganized Epworth League. The Oficiary
are helpful and enthusiastic and the
attendance is such as to give great
encouragement. We want to give our
young people the right of way and hope
under the blessing of God, that the
organization may measure up to its
glorious opportunity.

outside OF that necessary for the game,
the Milbank girls, in fact all of the
people, were just as nice as they could
be to the Webster delegation and every
one of them reports just a most excel
lent time. But when the smoke of the
battle had cleared away after the game
it was discovered that our girls had
received a fearful drubbing, the Mil
bank team playing a fast ard furious
game from the beginning and at no
time showing any quarter. The final
score was "a to s against the Webster
team. We expected some of the girls
would come in and tell US how it hap
pened, but we have been disappointed,
as not n has come in, and we are
told by those who have seen them that
they will talk about everything else
and tell what a jolly good time they all
had all the rest of the time, but as to
the game-they are all as silent as a
grave. No matter, girls, we all meet
with defeats in this world.

Rockefeller one of the richest men

million dollars to any physician who
would give him a new stomach but 1t
was too late. Don't let it be too late
with you, no matter what your trouble
is, you can make money and enjoy life
when you have health but you cannot
always have health ever if you have
money.
The United and Associated Special
lists, as the name implies, are several
specialists who have combined in the
treatment Of chronic and nervous dis
eases. The remarkable success in their
treatment of these diseases has
aroused much enthusiasm in the north
west states in which they travel.
The testimonials received and many
new cases recommended by formerpat-
tents is due to their mode Of treatment
and careful selection of cases, as they
do not treat acute disease or those too
far gone.
The following is a partial list of all
ments treated; troubles of the eye, ear,
nose and throat, as catarrh, deafness,
stomach, intestines, blood, skin, r
lungs, heart, as asthma, consumption,
weakness, dizziness, swelling, kidney,
bladder, bed wetting, rheumatism, and
cases people call private troubles.
With their system of treatment no
operations for appendicitis, gall stones,
tumors or goitre.
No matter what you may think or
others have told you regarding your
ailments consult the doctors on this
trip as it may be your last chance to
see a specialist For all of those who
call on this trip there will be NO
CHARGE for examination and consul
tation.

Living Cost Vital Problem.
For some years past" said the
president, "the high and steadily in
~creasing cost of living has been a mat
ter of such grave public concern that
deem 1t of great public interest that
an international conference be pro-
posed at this time for the purpose of
preparing plans, TO be submitted to the
various governments, for an interna.
tional inquiry into the high cost of
living, its extent, causes, effects and
possible remedies;
There is no doubt but that a corr.
mission could be appointed of such un-
~prejudiced and impartial persons, ex-
perts in investigation of economic
facts, that a great deal Of very valua-
bic light could be shed upon the rea-
sons for the high prices that have so
distressed the people of the world and
information given upon which action
might be taken to reduce the cost of
living.
Those who have conducted investi-
cations have found that the phenome.
non of rising prices is almost If not
quite general throughout the world;
but they are baffled in the attempt to
trace the causes by the impossibility
OF making any accurate international
comparisons"
