Methodists Condemn the Republican
Administration

The General Conference OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church. in
session in Minneapolis, Mimi, adopt
ed tue following resolution:
Whereas, The president OF the
United States, the secretary OF 'ag
riculture and the secretary OF state.
his authorized representatives, were
petitioned by millions of Christian
people OF the nation individually
and through their respective repre-
sentatives to desist from all nation
al endorsements OF said brewers
congress and that the secretary of
agriculture decline said position of
honorary chairman, because OF the
Endorsement such position would
give to the business represented
and the evident purpose in view by
said meeting. viz, to increase and
extend the sales of beer and thus
encourage and increase drunken
ness, and,
Whereas, The said United States
authorities utterly disregarded the
expressed wish and prayer of the
Christian manhood and womanhoJu
OF the nation, with the exception
that the secretary OF agriculture
sent out in reply a most frivolous,
fallscious and stereotyped excuse.
aud,
Whereas. The reply is an insult
to the intelligence of Christian peo-
pie, inasmuch as the writer must
have known that the sole and only
purpose Of said congress had in
view was to secure the seal and APP
prevail OF the United States authori-
ties to thier part in tbs beverage
liquor traffic, which is the greatest
curse and blight to the nation;
Therefore. Be it resolved by the
General Conference OF the Methods,
Episcopal Church ia conference as
sembled, that while we pledge our
selves to remain loyal citizens OF the
United States and TO support those
in authority in every laudable. law
full and legal way, we do hereby an
nounce as our conviction that in sc
aiding the beverage liquor traffic by
their persistent Endorsement OF the
said brewers congress in the face
of our most earnest protest. those in
authority have forfeited all claim
and future franchise of the Chris
tian and sober manhood of the na.
tion."
The reading of this resolution was
Immediately followed by signs oil
disorder and an attempt was made
TO postpone action. The resolution
was then adopted. amid cheers, with
a rising vote.

Follow the Rules and Swat All the
House Flies

Following are some notes which
have been gotten together from arti-
cles on various fly campaigns which
have been held in various cities.
There will be ten to twelve gen.
erations OF flies in one summer. One
fly lays 120 eggs at a batch and
usually lays four patches. $780,
600 flies from single pair will &C.
tually be produced in one summer.
1t is said 1000 flies make q gill.
Following are some Of the meth
DDS for killing flies:
L. Heat a coal shovel, close all
windows and doors and drop on the
shovel 20 or more drops Of carbolic
acid.
2. Burn pure and freshly ground
pyrethrum powder in closed room
and wards sweep up the in
active flies.
3. Swat" them with a swxtter
made of split stick into which slip
q piece of wire screen.
4. Use sticky fly paper.
5. Keep dishes of a solution of 6
teaspoonsful of fornalin in a quart
of water as poison. 1t is safe for
little children to be about it, but
keep the vessels covered with a
coarse screen If dogs, cats or birds
are around.
6. One drachm of bichromate OF
petroleum, two ounces water sweet
ened with sugar is another good SO
luton.
z. Trough of tin I inch wide. and
inch deep close against window Of
restaurant or store and filed with
kerosene will overcome them.
8. Rub on screens where flies
congregate l teaspoonful carbolic
acid OF. kerosene.

American weaver. This conclusion
is further substantiated by the fact
that cloths of this description are
sold by the domestic manufactures
in this country at prices as low as
those charged by the foreign manu-
facturer in his own country. In pro-
portion however, as the fabric be-
comes more complicated (and there
fore permits of fewer looms per
weaver the American cost of pro-
duction increases. In the case of
most fancy fabrics of complicated
weaves, the cost of weaving is higher
in this country but on such fabrics
the present duties are in excess of
any difference in cost, and in many
cases are in excess of the total con-
version cost in this country.
"The report further shows that
in the case of large variety of fab
RIGS which permit of the use of many
looms per weaver the prices at
which goods are sold by the Ameri-
can manufacturer are as low as the
prices charged by the foreign manu-
facturer in his own market and in
many cases lower.
Under the existing system of dis
tribution a slight reduction of duties
would in some cases materially re-
duce the price to the consumer.

ton of the duties would not change

BABY'S TERRIBLE CONDITION

when my baby boy was six months
old, his body was completely covered
with large sores that seemed to itch
and burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began In pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when I removed his
shirt.
Eve tried a great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the C%uticura
Soap and Ointment. I used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before I could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment although
we had tried several other things, and
doctors too. I think the C~uticura
Remedies will do all that Is claimed
for them, and a great deal more"

STATE TAKES HAND IN FIGHT
New Jersey Leads In Advanced LegIs-
latlon Designed to Check Speed
of Tuberculosis.

What IS designated by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis as the most adj
vanced legislation in the campaign
against tuberculosis that has been
enacted by any state in the United
States, If not by any country in the
world, Is found In a bill recently
passed by the New Jersey legislature
and signed by Governor Wilson. The
new law provides that tuberculosis
patients VINO refuse to obey the regu-
lations laid down by the state board
of health concerning the prevention Of
their disease, and thus become a men
ace to the health Of those with whom
they associate, shall be compulsorily
segregated by order of the courts, in
institutions provided for this purpose.
If such a patient refuses to obey the
rules and regulations Of the institu-
ton In which he is placed, he may be
isolated or separated from other per-
sons and restrained from leaving the
institution" The law further pro-
yides that all counties In the state
of New Jersey shall within six months
from April list make provision In spe-
cial institutions for the are Of all
persons having tuberculosis in these
counties. The state treasury will sub
sidize each county to the extent of
$500 a week for each person main
tanned in those institutions, except
those who are able to pay for the cost
of maintenance.

LIKE THE WOLF AND LAMB
~lnoffenslve Creatures Most UnIustIy
Charged With Sudden Attack
Of Bloodthlrstiness.

A mar who was caught in the act
of skinning a neighbor's sheep, COW
cred his embarrassment by declaring
that no sheep could bite him and live.
The logic Of this is equaled by that
OF the Yankee soldier who once had a
narrow escape from an enraged gan
der. The men Of a certain Maine regi-
ment, which was in the enemy's coun-
try in 1862, considered the order mo
~foraging" an additional and uncalled-
Tor hardship. One afternoon about
dusk, a soldier was seer beating a
rapid retreat from the rear Of a farm
house near by, closely pursued by a
gander with wings outspread, whose
feet seemed scarcely to touch the
ground, and from whose beak issued a
succession Of angry screams. The
fugitive was not treasured by the cries
o. the gander's owner: Hold on,
man, hold on! He won't hurt you!''
call off your gander! Call him off,
shouted the fleeing soldier. Neither
man nor gander stopped until inside
the camplines, when the soldiers
friends relieved him Of his fierce pur-
suer with the aid Of the butt of a
musket. did that gander think he
could chase me like that and liye!''
the soldier exclaimed, as he surveyed
the outstretched bird; but he said
nothing of the baited hook, with cod
line attached, which might have
thrown light on the unfortunate gan.
der's strange actions.
