Saw Mills Wrecked.

There are two sawmills just below the
Dogtail crevasse, and they caught much
of the force Of the water. One mill is To-
Gated at Sondheiner and one mile above
Roosevelt. The sawmill proper is all that
is left Of the latter place, Whole stacks
of lumber were picked up bodily and
carried across a big plantation and dashed
to pieces in the swamp. At the Sond-

SHERLOCK HOLMES ON THE
OWEN GILL.

Sherlock Holmes, as portrayed by
his gifted creator. DR. A. Conaa Doyle,
was able to accomplish wonders in de
duetion by elimination. In solving a
problem, he considered all possible ex.
plantations until he had eliminated all
but one. The remaining explanation
must be the correct one. Let us apply
this process to the opposition TO ma
tional department OF health The Ma
tional League for Medical Freedom
was Incorporated according to its own
state, about May /. 1910. The public
first knew OF its existence on May IS,
1910. when large display advertise
ment appeared simultaneously in the
leading newspapers of the entire coun.
try. At this time the organization
could not have had large member
ship, as it was only two weeks old: in
deed, it must have been entirely un-
known to the great mass Of the public.
Yet the initial advertising contract. as
estimated by one OF the leading adyer-
tising agencies. amounted to nearly
$4,000 ts49. 4le are the exact fgures)
Who contributed or advanced this large
sum? Obviously, some person OF per
sons willing to pay $4,000 to see the
Owen bill defeated Then there must
be something IN the owen bill that
some persons were willing to pay $780,
600 to prevent You can fool mob
or a sect By vague talk about per.
sonal liberty trusts. medical
tyranny and such bueaboos, but when
a group Of business men put up S5o.-
900 they haze sound reason for It,.
Now the only thing the 0sen bin does
is to. transfer three existing bureaus
to a new department These bureaus
are the public health ami marine hos
pitai service from the treasury depart
ment, the division Of vital statistics
from the bureau Of the census and the
bureau OF chemistry from the depart
ment OF agriculturn And one can
verify this BY usa0ine the bill The
first two bureaus could have no great
influence on business, or matter in
what department they we're located
Their transfer would Not menace any
business interests. #Therefore. the
only remaining explanation Tor the op-
position, according TO The Journal Of
the American Medical Association, is
to be found In the transfer of the bu-
reau of chemistry. now in the depart
ment OF agriculture. TO the proposed
department OF health. But why should

business interests be willing to pay
S5o.o0o to keep the bureau of chemis-
try in the department Of agriculture?
Because DR. Wiley. who is head OF the
bureau, might be controlled or ham-
pered in the department of agriculture,
but could not and would not be ham
pered in department of health. So
the "patent-medicine" and adulterated
food manufactures and their advertis-

She does teach. however, as did
Jesus. that disease and sin are not
from God. and are to be overcome by
knowing the truth about them. Jesus
denied the evidence of the physical
sences on every hand. and annulled
so-calied physical laws by his clear
understanding OF spiritual laws It
was through his understanding Of
these laws that he was enabled to heal
those who were infrm. both in body
and mind
Furthermore. he said that all those
who understood these laws could get
the same results that he did, and even
better. st. John reports him as say
ing: "He that belieyeth on me the
works that do shall he do also"
Jesus preached gospel that healed
the sick. Or rather he preached the
gospel by healing the sick. And that
IT what Christian Scientists are trying
to do. It employs the same method in
destroying sin that it does in destroy
ing sickness; for we find that the one
is the cause OF the other.
One must not think, however, that
the physical healing is the consumma-
ton of Christian Science. by any
means; but II is part OF the work to
be done by those who would keep His
commandments. 1t is TO be mark of
dicpleship. For faith without works
is dead.
Christian Scientists use the same
bible, and worship the same God that
other denominations do We acknowl-
edge the same Christ, and endeavor to
keep the same great commandment to
love God supremely and your neigh
Dor as yourself We bave our com
mentary on the bible, Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures,
written by Mrs. Eddy II is through
the study of this book that the bible
has yielded up its treasurers tounnum-
bered thousands after they had sought
in vain for it elsewhere

the election result as follows:
1T was an overwhelming victory
and OF course deeply gratifying to all
good democrats. With the election
over, however we now face one OF the
gravest situations in the history Of
our party. If Gov. Wilson, when he
becomes president. will apply the old
time principles OF the democratic
party to the administration of this
government we will control the des.
tiny of this republic for another sixty
years with occasional Interruptions
just as we did beginning with Jefler-
sons first election
This government administered on
democratic principles will protect
every man in his rights and in his
legitimate business, assuring to com
merce, agriculture and manufacturers
a stable prosperity
fof course, if Gov. Wilson should
forsake the old-time principles of the
party and attempt to conduct his ad-
ministration according to the prin-
ciples OF ex-President Roosevelt's
progressive party, confusion is certain
to ensue. and if the expansion of our
agriculture, commerce and manufac-
lures is arrested by novel and danger
our governmental methods we might
lose the next election, and if We
should lose that the youngest of us
might not live to see another demo-
cratic president.
under that condition am sincerely
anxious to see Gov Wilson give the
country an exceptionally successful
administration and am sure that this
is the feeling of every loyal democrat
in Texas"

Editor Chieftain
With your permission would like to
make few remarks on DR.. Buigin's
sermon on Christian Science. as re-
ported in a recent issue Of your paper.
It seems strange that any one should
object to Christian Scientists for try
ing to relieve poor suffering humanity
from It's burden Of pain and suffering.
And / cannot believe that DIR. Bulgin
does What be objects to. believe.
is the method he thinks Christian
Scientists employ am quite familiar
with the principle and method OF
Christian Science having devoted a
number of years to the study and prae.
tice of it, and ! am sure he has the
wrong concept of the method EN-.
ployed.
He seems to be under the impression
that Mrs. Eddy denies the reality of
disease. What she does teach regard
ing disease is very clearly stated on
page AGO Of the Christian Science Text
book, Science and Healthy with KEEP TO
the Scriptures, as follows: Sickness
is neither imaginary nor unreal-that
is to the frightened, false sense of the
patient. Sickness Is more than fancy
It Is solid conviction. It is therefore
to be dealt with through right appre-
hension of the truth of being"

A new rule went into effect last
