The New Books

THE Social Work of Christian
Missions is the title of an interest
ing and instructive book by Alva w.
Taylor. professor of social service
and Christian missions i'm the Mis-
sions in the Missouri Bible College.
The book has an interest for the gen
eral reader because IT'S keynote is in
keeping with the grea: line of think
ing and action of the present day.
Scarcely anyone will deny that Pro-
feSsOr Taylor is entirely right in
saying the paramount interests of
our time are social"
The social test in civilization
stands out emphatic. Progress can
be told i'm terms of the processes OF
specialization. he insists. And in the
widening and deepening Of these pro-
ccsses of specialization to include all
peoples and all nations he sees the
coming of universal peace. SociOlo-
gical Christianity will succeed where
theological Christianity has failed
and the Kingdom of God will be the
world wide society evolved.
To Professor Taylor the mission
airy field and its workers present the
best illustration OF these things. He
points to the many phases of social
service emphasized by mission works
The missionaries are the pioneers OF
civilization today. They open up the
way for political. economic and other
social institutions. He shows that
the missionary plan is in keeping
with what has been shown wise by
the experience of nations in colonial
enterprise. Races of low civiliZa-
tion are to be raised by the power OF
example working through their ma
tive groups and organizations. Be
nevOlence. clean living. new valu-
alton of women and children are a
few of the fundamentals of higher
life which the missionary carries tO
barbarous races.

THE USE OF 4 DICTIONARY.

Phonetic spelling has failed to vim
dicate the sanguine prophecies OF its
advocates. The Simplifed Spelling
Board has been active for some years
now and phonetic basis of spelling
seems as far away as ever. The
truth is. reformed spelling has a
great practical drawback. Every
mans ear his own spelling book. is
the keynote of the phonetic idea but
unfortunately We do not all hear
alike.
In leaving the frying pan We flop
directly into the fire. Admittedly
our present system of spelling is bad
enough. but shall We undergo the
tortureS of learning a new system
that offers scarcely less convenience
for posterity? We are not prone TO
such herculean exertions unless the
goal is great

the proof is against us. Spelling is
indeed a lost art. although the efforts
of MissOuri's state superintendent OF
schools to resurrect the Old-time glO-
ry of blue-b backed spelling book days
are commendable True. the old
time spelling book were rarely blue

were painted red. but why tamper
with tradition? In the good old
days of the spelling bee people knew
how to spell. or thought they did.

ing to spell. We have at last come
back to the truth that only by lib

ever be- able to wrestle with the
orthography of the language.
But not alone in the matter Of
spelling is a dictionary to be courted.
The English language is an elusive
thing and words are not always what

Yes, ice is a necessity" the col
lege girl declared. Not only in the
summer do we need this product
now artificially made, but also in the
winter for refrigerating purposes In
certain cases of illness I'm taking
preventive medicine. you know-ice
brings relief"
The boy had another view. "In
some cases ice is a luxury. Frozen
dainties. cooled liquids and chilled
refreshments of the soda fountain
are unnecessary, OF course. vet
they're refreshing when heat waves
are visible. For these ice or some
other method of cooling is essential" ="
The girl agreed. and added, This

Ice is a chilly thing for conversa-
tion, the boy told her. but let us
discuss it little more. Even in the

King Henry the Third. of France
loved the taste of liquors from bot
ties dipped in snow. In India they
mixed water with saltpetre to get a
cooling effect for drinks. In places
snow has been packed in huge pits
and crooks of water placed there for
freezing. Afterwards frozen lakes
were mad" use of to supply ice in

The artificial method of making
ice came with the greater demand for
cold III summer. Cutting ice in the
winter is still carried on in some
places. Even in Colum bia there We're

This GOODNESS is it made
artiticially?" inquired the young wO.
man.
Coal. water. salt and ammonia
are the ingredients of the process
the young man replied.
My, | hope that isn't in all ice.
No. coal is not part of the ice.
| am trying to say that coal is im-
pOrtant in making frozen blocks in
Columbia because it furnishes steam
to drive the machinery. SO the burn
ing of coal at the plants ends in
pound blocks of ice.
Water is the only thing that goes
into the ice. AmOnia and salt only
figure in the freezing process.
Water is pumped from 500 feet
below the surface of the ground and
then condensed. As it changes from
steam into water it becomes distilled
water. This is then reboiled and fill
tered through charcoal before run
ming into the tanks. The water is
freed of foreign substances, gaseous
and solid, by this. Ammonia from
tank is forced by compression

Well" continued the young
man, lit is forced through a smaller
pipe into coil of larger ones. The
ammonia expands into gas. This
ammonia gas travels through the
pipes to the coils, by the freezing
tanks in which the distilled and fill
tered water has already been
placed.
THE secret of freezing water lies
in this ammonia gas. Heat is alb
sorbed by it from the salt water in
which the coils are submerged and
in which the water tanks are stand

heat from the pure water in til cans.

heat extraction goes on. The doses
OF ammonia gas are continual and
after a bath of forty-eight hours the

and dipped into hot water to loosen

Bro. Bliss admits all we said
anent the passport treaty with Rus
STA and we admit all he said last
week. For futher elucidation we
might however add that Russia in
refusing the American Jew to visit
Russia has a reason for doing SO.
Many of these Gods chosen
people,, besides being chiefly inn
keepers, Intermediates in trade
and pawnbrokers, while in Russia
many of them also return back to
their native land as American citi-
zens to instigate rebellion and Sc
dition. So it would seem why in
the name of common sense do they
visit the spot where they were per
secuted. If the average Ameri-
can citizen vas as ignorant as the
Russian; or if the condition here
was the same, we might be doing
the same thing in this country.
We still claim that Russia may
have her reasons and of course the
United States has no alternative
than to abrogate the treaty of
1882 and declare war of some kind
in rebuke.

Mrs. Anna Gap Dead.

Mrs. Anna Cap aged rs an old
pioneer of this place died at her
home in Tabor last Friday morn
ing from a complication of di seas
es peculiar to old people. She had
been ill for several months. Flu
neral was held from the local Cat
holic church Saturday where SER
vices were held and a sermon de-
liyered by Father Bouska, and the
remains thereafter were inferred
in the adjoining cemetery. Mrs.
Cap was born in Bohemia and
came to this country with husband
Frank Cap % years ago. They
bought a farm near Utica and farm
ed for a period of 20 years in
which time they purchased five
more quarter sections of land in
the neighborhood. Eight years
ago they retired moving to Tabor.
The deceased old lady leaves a
husband, one daughter, Mrs. FIR.
Hacicky and four sons, Frank, An
ton, Joseph and John all of whom
are well-to-do farmers, except
John who lives in Tabor ana is a
contractor.

represents the greatest firm in the

a calender for nothing. There are
100 chances out of 100 that such

them and then sets out to do some

In view of the slap delivered by

rise to suggest that each and every

amendments are discussed. The

was the proper agent to enlight-
en- the voters on these things, Sc
let the pamphlet do it. Or better
yet: Let Sen. Curtiss travel over
