"CIosed on Saturday"

Curt Payne. a cleaner and pressel
on Broadway, works only five days
week. He does not work Sunday, Of
course. And he keeps his shop closed
on Saturday because he is a Seventh
Day Adventist.
"Mr. Payne, on what do the Advent
lists base their calculation that Satur-
day is the day of rest?
"On the Bible ITSELF" he answered.
I'm the very first part of Genesis,
chapter 2, verse 2, We read: And on
the seventh day God ended his work
which he had made; and he rested on
the seventh day from all his work
which he had made That day was
Saturday. The Jews have kept that
day as their day of rest ever since.
The Christians have changed it to
Sunday to distinguish themselves and
their customs from the people from
whom they sprang.
That very definite, identical day of
Gods institution was pointed out by
three-fold weekly miracle, in the fall
OF the mamma, for the period of forty
years, SO that Israel and future gen.
erations could make no mistake as re-
CARDS the divinely appointed day.
Jesus did not want the day chang
ed," continued Mr. Payne, "fOr does he
not say in Matthew 5:17: Think not
that 1 am come to destroy the law,
or the prophets; 1 am come not to
destroy, but to fulfill Jesus himself
observed Saturday as the sacred day.
1T was centuries before the church
regarded Sunday as the Sabbath. 1t
was not denominated the Lords day

THE NEW BOOKS
Luda the Occult Girl.

The book "Luda," written by Julia
Webb Mays, tell of the life of a girl
who was found when a baby, with her
mother in a starving condition. The
mother died and Luda was adopted
by a poor fruit-dryer and his wife.
How she fell in love with a rich plan
tation owners son who had no aim
in life but to wear good clothes and
ride fine horses. how she inspired him
to be something and how he finally
went off to West Point and afterward
became a colonel in the Northern Ar
my and won the girl he loved, is told
in a simple style.
This story has too much of the un-
real in it. Luda was a girl who saw
visions and could tell what the future
would bring forth. The story is
scarcely true to life. (Broadway Pub

IT" DisapprOves OF "Stunt Week.


Editor the NIissourian: Stunt
week as now proposed seems to me
to have some Very serious disadvan-
tages, and l should like to mention a
few of them.
1t is proposed to have this week
come the week before the examina-
tions. 1t is to be a holiday. 1t would
seem that this would take the STU
dents mind entirely off his studies,
to the detriment of his grades in the
final examinations.
The students who will be benefited
by the scheme are the seniors. They
are to be dismissed from examina-
tions if the plan is adopted.
Another objection is that there
will not be as much pleasure in hav-
ing all the stunts" come in one week
as there would be if they are scatter
ed out more.
The Lawyers, Engineers, and Farm
ers have gone on record as favoring
the plan. Let us hear from the
Journalists and Medics. T.

THE FALLACY OF HAIR.

Occasionally We read in the daily
press that some scientist or near
scientist has declared that the hu-
man race will be totally bald within
few centuries. Usually this state
ment is called a warning. We wonder
why?
For years the bald headed man has
suffered the ridicule and calumny of
the world. None can tell how many
genial, sunny hearted dispositions
have soured through too intimate con-
tact with humor in its crude form.
And the crime that has served as an
excuse for this persecution has been
the same that has brought affliction
upon other great men-the sin of be-

VIEWPOINTS
Puts Policeman on His Own Trail.

Editor the Missourian: A few nights
ago certain fraternity man, with his
party of four, drove up to the Missouri
Store.
In the next booth in the college
room was a fraternity brother in the
company of a girl. Upon leaving the
store, in a joking way, they drove the
car around the corner and turned
out the lights. Then they went on.
When the party missed the car, the
owner at once phoned to the police
giving them description of the car.
After half-an-hour of anxious waiting
and thinking, the car was found.
An hour later as the owner was 60
ing home he was hailed by two police
man. 1t was only after much explain
ing and calling a friend out of bed
taat he was allowed to 90 home.

There are ten Adventists in and
near Columbia. They have a church
seven miles west of Columbia, where
the little congregation meets every
Saturday. They have no regular min
lister, a different member assuming the
duties every Saturday.
Charles Allen is the Oldest Advent
ist in this vicinity. Mr.. Payne has
been with the movement nine years.
The Adventist movement started in
1874. Its present greatest stronghold
is in Battle Creek, Mich, where w. X.
Kellogg is a powerful leader. He
was one of the originators of the
movement. The denomination pub
fishes a number of pamphlets and
The Life Boat, pub
lished at Hinsdale, ILL.,, and the "Signs
of the Times, published at Mountain
View, Cal, are among the most pop
ular.
In Mr.. Payne's advertisement in a
local paper there appeared the line.

After long research we have been

reason why derision should be aimed
at the individual upon whose Uranium

told, our ancestors thought 1T fashion

bodies. In course of time they cast
aside their chrysalises of fur and
emerged into the brighter world of
human existence. A century or SO
hence, when We have become more
completely civilized, We may expect to
lose the last vestige of our hirsute

Why should any one be proud of that
which links him with the lower
stages of life?
The bald headed man is one of the
noblest elements of humanity. He is

COMPRESSED ROMANCE.

There are no longer any thrills con.
nected with the work of the war cor
respondent. Modern methods OF
warfare are compressing this field OF
activity. His calling is losing the ro-
nance which formerly made it SO al
Turing. His labors have descended in
to the despised round of routine. He
is no longer great.
This change has followed changes
in the manners of warfare. The gat-
ling gun has superseded the rife.
The fighting is waged from greater
distances; the hand-to-hand conflict
is no more. The aeroplane has taken
the place of the spy.
The war correspondent used to take
his place right on the firing line. He
ate hard tack" and slept by the side
OF the common soldier He knew the
real hardships of war. He wrote to
the battles boom and rode through
the enemy's line if necessary to reach
a telegraph station. He went about
as he pleased and wrote uncensored.
But late wars have seen tendency
to restriction. He was exceedingly
active in the Franco-Prussian war but
the Boer war found him hedged about
by many restrictions. He was bad
gered still further by limits in the
Russo-Japanese conflict Now in the
Balkans he writes from bulletins sup
piled by the military authorities and
distributed by censor. He is relegat- !
ed far to the rear where he may clatter |
away on his typewriter undisturbed by |
flying shells or menaced by aero
planes. Perhaps the copy desk would /
furnish him more tingle

WHAT COLUMBIANS EAT.

One-third of the places in Colum-
bia where food is sold, are clean
enough to be rated good" by the
state inspectors. We are told that
this is cause for congratulation, since
five years ago less than a half-dozen
stores were approved.
We are glad there are twenty-six
firms in town where Columbians can
buy clean, wholesome food. We are
glad that there as five times as
many such places as were found at
the last inspection. But We wonder
about the fifty-six others, which are
regarded as insanitary.
A man has no more right to sell
dirty food than to drop poison into
a well. A grocer is morally respon-
sible for the health of his customers

eat.
If Columbians would insist that their
dealers allow them to look behind the
counters and into the refrigerators,
they would be exercising the best and
only really effective method of inspec-
tion. The housewife or landlady who
buys food from store that she knows
it to be dirty deserves no protection.
The newly re-organized Women's
Civic League might readily find a
profitable field of endeavor along this
line. If its members would resolve
to buy only from those dealers who
appreciate their responsibility to the
public. Columbia stores would not
need the supervision Of the state food
and drug inspector

THE coAL INpUsTRY.

Just what an important part Penn sylvania plays in the furnishing of coal is plainly indicated by it's production of that commodity in comparison with the output of other states. It was only about a century ago that coal was being seriously considered as fuel but it was in Pennsylvania that the min ing of 1t was begun on an extensive scale and even that for the first year amounted to but twenty-two tons. Coal didn't spring into instant use because of the difficulties of transportation and the lack Of facilities which now char acterize coal mining operations,
 leunsylvania added to It's output gradually. but it was thirteen years before 1t was putting on the market 4o,00o tons a year. It has continued to lead all the other states of the union. however. and of the 9,275, 900, 900 tons mined since the beginning of such operations the Keystone state has pro- duced 4913.00e.G00 or f1fty-three per cent of the cOuntry's total. In the past year alone Pennsylvania had a total output of 24S 200, 900 tons.
 Other states have made discoveries of coal lands and have developed mines this being true of Ohio, West Virginia and Illinois. while a number of south ern states are engaged in substantial coal production and have many unde- veIoped and possibly unknown fields to operate. but the fact remains never theIess that Pennsylvania has and is still leading not only the list, but all others combined. and promises to for many years to come. It began and ended the century of coal production in the lead

Mir. Sulzer hopes to vindicate himself through coming back to high office within the state, by obtaining the support of the people in his behalf. It is an ambitious undertaking which he has outlined when he expects to be back in the peoples house" In f1f- teen months. He expects to attain his object through the rush of the people to his support as a rebuke to the wick edness of the organization which caused his downfall
 Such might be within the bounds of expectation if there was nothing in his own conduct which operated to bring about his removal from high of- fee. That Tammany discovered and brought to light acts of his which, to say the least, were not those which would commend any candidate, points out the weakness and unfitness of MT. Sulzer for office as much as it may give additional reasons for the sup precision of Boss Murphy and his or ganiza ton. Mir. Sulzer and those by whom he has been given the nonina ton for the assembly may overlook his errors but such does not warrant his return to office in preference to men who do not bear that stamp of having been tried and found wanting" He is a victim of his own actions.
