There is more than a grain of truth
In this sweeping assertion. In proper
hands the moving picture machine
may assuredly be made potent in

mind an appeal vastly more effective
than that OF the spoken or written
word. For this same reason the de-
vice I'm improper hands becomes dan
gerous. Here, however. the corrective
power OF the law comes I'm and tie
presumption is that with the con-
slant advance i'm the regulation of ex-
hibitions the conversion of the moving
picture TO evil purposes will in time
be absolutely prevented. At the same
time the tendency of public taste must
necessarily have much 20 do with the,
character of the exhibitions furnished
That there is "A demand for tawdry and
exhibitions is undenable and
1t follows that the taste of the people

that the demand for Tennysons poems

Miss Coe advocated the value Of the
wider use Of school houses for educa-
tional purposes. She believes that un-

Statistics prove that over 40 per

UNcLEAN HANDS DANGEROUS.
Many Reasons For Washing Them
Many Times Each Day.

The Pennsylvania Society for the
Prevention of Tuberculosis. sends out
the following warning relative to un-
clean hands
Keep your hands clean. Wash them
often. The dirt that you can see on
them is bad enough, but the dirt that
YOU can't see Is still worse. You
might work all day in the garden with
Your hands covered with soil but this
would not necessarily be harmful The
carpenter bricklayer or plasterer dir
ties his hands while at work without
being in any great danger.
Suppose. however. you have been
near typhoid fever patient or that
you have been in the neighborhood of
sewer water. or anywhere else that
germs are sure to be. Your hands may
not appear TO be soiled, but they are
dirty Many persons con-
tinue to be carriers of typhoid long
after they have recovered from the
disease. Scientists say If a dozen peo-
pie dip their hands into basin of
water it will. upon examination. be
found to be fun OF colon bacilh.
Think how many different things
your hands touch i'm a day. and how
often they are lifted to your eyes. nose
and mouth. Think how much of the
God YOU eat passes through your
lands. Is 1t not, therefore. most inn
'ortant that you keep them clean?
Wash VOlr hands often and psnecialIv
before meals" ~ ,iIUyH

Arrangements will be made to serve
meals in the Y. NJ. c. A.
The Ishpeming conference will con-
vene at 10 a. IN. in the Y. M. c. A.

will likely be taken up with organiza-
ton and a discussion as to how the
movement should be carried forward
In the upper peninsula. 1t is prob
able that a platform meeting will be
arranged for the evening. 1t is likely
the conference will appoint a commit
tee of twenty five or more to work out
the details of plan for carrying on
the proposed work in the several cities
Of the upper peninsula.
The Men and Religion Forward
Movement is the most practical effort
In the way of religious advancement,

vival, but Is rather the instructing of
Christian organizations and individuals
In practical application of the teach

pose of this movement to increase the
number Of organizations, rather to
corelate the organizations already ex-
listing in carrying out the scheme of
