potato. The ache in the bones or a
rheumatic person is supposed 10 fore

Here are few more Of the COM

that are still believed by millions:

WHY PASTORS FALL.

AS to the causes Of the downfall
of pastors Rev Mr.. Dinsmore, OF
Anderson, Ind, says: Because he
is human. The devil is in him jus.
the same as it is in every other man.
His temptations are more subject
than those of other men. There are
so many women who do not seem TO
know the limits of frank respect for
those who have helped them in some
way. There are some women, who,
because they are either losing hopes
for future bliss or because they have
been disappointed in their majority,
seem to want TO make some pastor
their cOntidanl, forgetting hat he is
always a man.
ITO many men are getting into the
ministry who are weak morally. No
man has any business there unless
he finds that he is able to success
fully fight the sin that !, in own
nature.
by no means shall we excuse the
preacher who goes wrong" he said
in conclusion. when Il man as
s,lmcs to stand before the community
in the position of a pastor and then
disgraccs that office. he is worthy
of death

MADE BIG PROFIT FOB STATE
Purely Business Argument for the Es-
Establishment Of sanltorIums for the
tuberculosis.

According to figures contained In the
annual report of DR.. H. L. Barnes. SUI
perintendent OF the Rhode Island state
sanitorium, the earnings Of the ex-
patients Of that institution during the
year 1911 would amount to over $780,
900. This is q sum three times as
large as that spent. each year for main
tenance of the institution, including
four per cent interest and deprecia-
ton charges.
The actual earnings In 1911 Of 40
ex-patients were obtained by DR..
Barnes. These ranged from 81 to
$S1 per week, the total earnings for
the year amounting to $102,752. On
this basis, DR.. Barnes computes the
figures above given. He says, how
ever: while institutions for the cure
Of tuberculosis are good investments,
there is good reason for thinking that
Institution for the isolation of far
advanced cases would be still better
Investments
Out Of total of 46, 450 hospital days
treatment given, 39,147, or "a per cent.
were free, the treatment costing the
state on an average 5000 per patient.
Out Of 1873 free cases investigated, Sc
had no families and no income on ad-
mission to the sanitorium. Out OF
1872 patients having homes. the num-
Der in the family averaged 5.2, and
the average family earnings were
SAG. In SO cases the families had no
income, and in only five cases were
there any savings, none, of which
amounted to as much as 500.
