STATE RELIGION
A MOOTED POINT
Chinese People Are Stirred by Discus
sion Over Proposal in Writing Their
New Constitution

Picking. Nov. lin 4 the process of
drafting permanent constitution for
the Chinese republic the question as to
whether there is to be recognized state
religion looms large at present in the
discussion at Picking.
A decided Confucian revival has been
in progress in recent months and this
has found its expression in the organiza-
tion of the Confucian association, which
includes many distinguished scholars of
the Republic. One of the central fig
ures of the movement is DR.. Chen Huan-
chang, author of the book, "The Eco
nomical Principals of Confucius and his
School," who has received the highest
literary honors in China and also the
degree of Doctor of Philosophy from
Columbia university, New York.
With other Chinese literati, he has
been carrying on a most energetic cam
paien to influence the members of par
lament to vote in favor of inserting in
the constitution some such statement as
follows: "Confucianism shall become the
state religion, while religious liberty
shall still be accorded to the people of
China A petition TO this effect has
Deen presented 10 Jne assembly. FOl-
lowing western methods of lobbying, Dr.
Chen has interviewed practically all
members of parliament in the support
of this movement.
Before the establishment of the re-
public prejudice against Christianity
was great but in the provisional consti-
tuition freedom of religion was provided
for. and Christians as we'll as Moham-
medans, Buddhists, and Taoists have had
before the state at least presumptive
equality with Confucianists. President
Yuan Shih-kai said in a speech before
the national assembly on April 20, 1912;
ain view of the religious liberty of the
people, all religions win be regarded as
being on the same footing, and there
will be no discrimination against any
particular Que. There should be mutual
respect and avoidance of mutual distrust
among the people irrespective of wheth-
er they practice any particular relig-
ion or not or whatever faith they en-
brace, so that they may all share in the
enjoyment of public peace and happi-
ness"
Naturally enough the Christians of
the Republic now numbering almost a

STATE FORESTRY DEPT.
DIRECTS TREE CUTTING
Private Owners of Timberland Have
Been Advised About Management
of Their Property.

The Vermont state forestry depart
ment has never had so many requests
for advice TO private owners as this
present season. All the fall one, and
sometimes two, men have been busy
advising private owners as to the man
agement of their timberland This work
has been done under general offer made
in the annual report of the state for
ester to the effect that owners of land
in the state may receive advice ON the
ground, have areas up to so acres
marked, or, on larger areas, have mark
ing work supervised provided they
will pay the expenses of the man doing
the work.
This fall the calls for this kind of
work have exceeded all previous de-
mands. The areas vary in size from
the small wood lot connected with
farm, to the large holdings of some of
the more progressive numbering and
manufacturing companies. Many of
these calls are for advice of only a gen.
eral nature, but some 20 per cent. of the
cases are requests for marking the
trees which should be cut.
1t is found that where land owners
try to cut according to forestry meth
DDS without getting advice regarding
their land, they fail to take into
account some very important factors.
Some make Trimmings but fail to make
any openings large enough to stimulate
the growth of the remaining trees.
Others cut tie larger trees in young
stands expecting the small trees to live
and grow. Others leave the poor, half
developed, small topped trees to produce
seed and contend that natural reproduc-
tion is failure because these trees died
and blew down. In a few cases the
owner has been able to apply the read
ing he has done to his local conditions
with very good results.

Why Babies Cry.

Because they are tired lying on one
side and they are unable to turn over
Turn baby once in a while.
Because they are thirsty. Babies must
have water boiled and cooled-but not
icedl to drink.
Because they are too warm and pos
sibly irritated by "prickly heat"
Because they are sleepy and wish to
lie down and be let alone.
Because crying is the only way they
know to tell you something is wrong
with them.
OF course babies cry when in pain,
but you should find out if it is not some
of the above stated causes before decid-
ing that it is pain which is causing the
crying.
Above all else, get rid of the notion
that every time the baby cries it is
hungry.

KEEPING MACHINE IN ORDER

ing machine. You light the match or
candle and apply it to the wheels and
cogs. All the lint and threads that
have caught there and wrapped around
them will burn and the char that re-
suits can easily be wiped of with q
clean cloth. You will be simply
amazed at the difference this will
make In the running Of your machine.
Then. too. another cause of a bad
running machine Is that the oil In q
machine gums. 1t Is really very little
trouble to remove the head, place 1t
in big pan and wash 1t in gasoline.
1t makes an old machine run like a
new one, or even easier than q new
one.
Only you must not forget one
thing. Gasoline is not a lubricant, SO
after washing out the gummed parts
and cleaning them thoroughly, you
must oil the machine with good lu.

things whenever your machine begins
to run little hard. think you will

USE ALCOHOL FOR THE HAIR

One Has Got Through Hot and

II the hair is dusty and unmanagea-
BILE after a journey of any sort, try
using alcohol to make it fluffy. The
alcohol will dry in few moments and
the hair will be ready then to arrange.
Many women who have taken a rail-
road journey OF several hours dura-
tion to wedding or dance have found
their hair, owing to the heat and dust
Of the journey. quite heavy and dirty.
and have despaired Of getting it In
shape in time for the festivities. A
shampoo takes too long to be indulged
in while one is dressing-and some
times 1t leaves the hair too fluffy for
immediate managing.
To get back to the alcohol treat
ment. Part the hair and rub a little
alcohol on a piece of gauze on the
scalp until it is free from dust Then
rub the hair about the brows and ears
and the nape of the neck with the al
cohol. OF course, it should first have
been brushed as Tree as possible from
dust. Then let the hair hang loose
ly until the alcohol has dried out. The
hair will be light and fluffy.
