TO ADVERTISE CHURCH WORK
Congregational Ministers Of Philadel.
phIa Plan Extensive Use Of
tho Newspapers.

Endorsing church advertising in the
newspapers, the Philadelphia Associ-
alton Of Congregational Ministers,
which was merged into the Associa-
ton Of Congregational Churches.
passed resolutions appointing a com.
mittee which will advertise each in
dividual church in the local news
papers.
The Rev. Edwin H. Romig, pastor Of
the First Congregational church, was
appointed chairman Of the publicity
committee which Is now q permanent
institution.
In the course Of his remarks, DR..
Romig pledged himself to newspaper
advertising, which, he said, must be
done. The lack OF interest in relig-
ious affairs he attributed to the fact
that the church is not enough before
the public eye. and appealed to his
audience to finance the campaign as
business venture.-Phlladelphia

GOOD FRIEND OF THE FARMER
Valuable Work Done by Humble
E%arthworm Has Not Been Sui.
f1olently Appreciated.

The humble earthworm Is one Of
mans best friends. The farmer ana
the gardener could not spare him.
Or. J. Newton Friend tells about him
In Science Progress. From Dr..
Friends observations 1t appears that
worms aerate the soil in a variety Of
ways.
In burrowing through the soil the
worms render 1t nor porous and per-
Of the air spaces formed, but by rea-
son Of the fact that the soil IL thus
continually kept in gentle motion.
Again, the soil passing through the
bodies Of worms 10 ~exoreted In a finer
condition, being ground by attrftion
through the intestines. Darwin esti-
mated that no fewer than fifteen tons
Of soil annually pass through the
bodies Of worms for every acre,
Further, worms breathe in oxygen
and exhale carbon dioxide, and tho
latter gas, as is we'll known, readily
dissolves in water. forming an acid
solution which will render alkaline
aarths and metallic oxides-e. g., iron
soluble.
Worms materially aid In producing
soluble salts OF iron In the soil when
other agencies-e. g., dilute mineral
acids-fail. The iron is eventually
given back to the soil in q more SOL
uble condition, and presumably In one
which can be directly absorbed by
plant roots.

No peeraasa In pIsaaae.

Speaking OF disease, here is anoth-
or d%eplorable confession from no less
an authority that the Medical Record.
In spite OF the army Of physicians,
their discoveries, and their hecatombs
of vivisected guinea pigs. we may
doubt, says the Medical Record, wheth-
or the sum total Of diseases Is any
less than It was before the medical
profession reached its present high
standing. Preventive medicine has
made little headway," and I'm the
opinion of some medical men diseases
are on the Increase" In the deeper
recesses Of our consciousness we had
suspected something Of the kind our
selves, but such h~eterodoxy on the
part Of a layman would have exposed
him to accommodation with bell,
book, and candle, or at least with BAG
terra, serums, and antitoxins. But
with the Medical Record behind us we
can afford to creep out into the open.

HAVE THREE KINDS OF MONEY
Venezuelan Monetary Standards Must
Be Extremely Puxzllnz to Now
conner and Vlsitor.

There are at present In daily use In
monetary standards. One is that based
on the bolivar equal to 1913 cents) as
the unit. This Is in use by the gov
eminent In It's reports and transac-
lions and is the oflcial system, If 1t
may be SO called. Quotations In this
system are In bolivars and centimos, a
bolivar being divided into 100 CEN
limos. although the smaller coin In
this system has a value Of : cen.
limos.
The second system has the peso
fuerte" or dollar as its unit, the
units being commonly referred to sim.
ply a. "fuertes." This "fuerte" is
taken to be equal to 5 b~olivars and to
be divided into 100 oentavos.
The third system has the peso
macuQuina," usually simply termed
"pesos." as its unit. This peso" has
a value Of 4 bolivars and is considered
to be equal to 80 c%entavos, and to
be divided into 8 reals, while the
"fusrto' Is considered to have 10
reals.
Some few Of the mercantile houses
keep their accounts with their custom
srs in "fuertes," but most of the es-
adjustments render their bills In the
peso"
When accounts kept in the last two
units are paid. they are transformed
into bolivars by manipulating by i've
or four, as the cas- may be, payments
being made by Venezuelan currency,
coined gold and silver on the bolivar
basis, or bank notes issued on the
Same system, although soms foreign
gold Is In general acceptance at con-
ventional rates.
Among tho humber classes making
their purchases at the market. an ar
ticle which would be worth 7b cent?.
mos of a bolivar, or Is centavos OF a
"fuerte," will almost invariably be
quoted at "a real and a hail." or q
purchase will be actually paid for by
offering 6 bolivars, 62k centimos in
coin. while the seller has stated tho
value to be "13A reals"

Mrs. Cartorio. "M--m-nah. nah. uah,"

that you don't spik da Angleesh?"
Mrs. Cartorio shook her head more
violently and In her excitement she
kicked over the cage in which waa
the parrot.
Hey, you," burst from the indig

Mrs. Cartorio smiled. She took the
cloth off the cage and a large green

2 MEN CLAIM
BURNED BOAT

There is still profound mystery
surrounding the burning of the tug
boat Harriet, of New York., in Rar-
itan river just west of the county
bridge early Saturday morning. Two
strangers in the city appeared at the
Didier-March plant yesterday morn
ing and claimed the charred hull and
stack. They were turned away with
out being given possession of the
craft, being unable to furnish proof
of their claim. Some persons are
inclined to believe they were the
two men reported to have ESCAPED
from the burning craft in a rowboat.
What is left of the burned tug is
still lying near the Didier-March
Company's dock in Keasbey.
