CLAIM A GAIN.
Christian Science Church Supporters
Correct Statement.

To the Editor of The State Journals:
In recent issue of the Jour-
nal appeared a reports by@, DIR.
H. X. Carroll. of = New York,
in reference to the Men and Re
ligion Movement" After numerating
the increase and decrease of member
ship in the various churches. the re-
port says, DIR. Carroll conceded $1,000
members to the Christian Science
church. They gained no new members
last year.
The doctors information regarding
the activities of the Christian Science
movement is incorrect.
1t is not the custom of the
Christian Science church to make
public mention of its progress
but that the readers of your
paper may not have a msconception
of the growth and performance of
Christian Science, kindly grant me
space to say-the report of the last an
nual business meeting of The Mother
Church in Boston, Massachusetts
showed the church to be in thriving,
prosperous condition and the growth
of membership greater than III any
previous year. This report also showed
that siXty-five new organizations had
been added to the movement during
the year.
There is also growing demand for
the Christian Science publica tons
which nave a world wide circulation.
The Christian Science Monitor is not
only appreciated by Christian Scent
lists. but the general public is realizing
it's value daily newspaper, giving
news that is constructive and report
ing the good that men do.
While the increase in the Christian
Science church in this country has
been large, its growth in foreign
countries has been phenomenal.
The Monitor in it's report of the an
nilal business meeting of The Mother
Church says: Reports from the field
were made. w. D. McCracken, c. s.

The Quickest, Simplest
Cough Cure
Easily and CheapIy Made Mt
Home. Saves You 81.

This recipe makes a pint of cough
syrup-enough to last a family a long
time. You couldn't buy as much OF as
good cough syrup for $3.50.
Simple as it is, it gives almost instant
relief and usually stops the most obsti-
nate cough in "A hours. This is partly
due to the fact that it is slightly laxa-
tive, stimulates the appetite and has an
excellent tonic effect. 1t is pleasant to
take-children like it. An excellent, rem
edy, too, for whooping cough. Group, sore
lungs, asthma, throat troubles, etc,
Mix one pint of graduated sugar with
= pint OF warm water, and stir for ,
minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex ffiftv
cents WORTHY in pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take a, teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
Pine is one of the Oldest and best
known remedial agents for the throat
membranes. Pinex is the most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway white
pine extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
all the other natural healing elements
Other preparations will not work in this
formula.
The prompt results from this recipe
have endeared it to thousands of house
wives in the United States and Canada,
which explains why the plan has been

When John Dawson so kindly loaned
Sard Brewster to Doniphan county, he
did Doniphan a great favor and also
favored the Kansas house of repre-
sentativeS- The session is not hawf
ovah, but it has been discovered that
they could hardly keep house without
Brewster. Mr.. Brewster is a man of
many gifts. He has, among other as
sets, a poker face. No one can tell
by his facial expression whether he is
mad as hornet, or merely having fun
with the opposition, and as he is a
leader among the Republicans. this
gift comes in handy on frequent oc-
casions. When he begins the autopsy
on a bill, the Democrats have to study
it out for themselves to discover
whether he is removing a joker or in
sorting one, removing a superfluous
appendix or removing the wishbone,
and enacting clause. 1t was Mr.. Brew
ster, who filed the teeth from the I.
and r. BILL and he has performed other
feats of surgery and dentistry since the
opening of hostilities.

OF course Mr.. Brewster had nothing
to do with raising his own wages as
assistant attorney general. The raise
was demanded by Jawn Dawson, who
couldn't, see his way clear to keep a
high-grade lawyer on the job with the
salary at his disposal, but when Mr..
Brewster goes back to the attorney
generals office he will be pleasantly
surprised to find that he is drawing
a salary instead of wages.
1t was a quiet, respectful and orderly
gathering of Socialists who filled the
senate galleries and watched a preoga-
tive of the labor unions poke it's neck
into the slot beneath the axe. AT the
head of the delegation was Mr.. STAN
ton, late Socialist senator And around
the halls stood a delegation of miners
who were not Socialists, but mixed
Democrats and Republicans. waiting
for chance to meet and congratulate
Senator Porter upon the passage of the
consolidation bill So it appears that

sarily a follower of the red flag.

Peculiar, isn't it, that the average

For neariyrI1 years the Business OF
the company was done whsily from
it's plant. 1t developed continually as
the boiler became known and its worth
recognized. In May 1895 a sales Of
nee was. opened in ProyizeRee with
the present general manager, w. ].
Turner in charge. An Office was
opened in New York in February, 1896
but was discontinued after few years
The demand for the proauct of the
company began to increase and from
time, to time the capital stock was in
creased as the business grow and de-
veloped. In 1889 the capital stock was
increased to thirty thousand; in 1881
to forty thousand; in 1895. to fifty
thousand and in 1902, to seyenty-fiYe
thousand dollars And stiA the bust
ness has gone on increasing. Other
foundries have been called upon to
furnish material to help the Putnam
concern fill its orders which had to be
done to hold the business regardless
of a partial sacrifice of profits, and
this although additions 20, the plant
have from time to time been made.
Putnam boilers are now known
throughout New England, and beyond
The boilers are made up OF cast iron
sections. Until a little over year
ago these. sections were assembled
with a piece of asbestos paper for
gasket Improvements have been made
in boiler construction the same as in
all other lines of business and today
the demand is for boilers assembled
with metal connection it being impos-
sible to sell the old kind to the trade.
This change has been perfected.
| Changes have also been made in the
handling of the business. Up TO with
/ in four years the foundry installed the
boilers and heating plants besides
manufacturing This has been done
away with and no boilers sold are in
stalled by the company. This came
about because the heating engineers
refuse to handle boilers manufactured
by a concern that will itself install
them.
In 1907 the total output of the con-
Germ was 400 boilers. To meet pres.
ent business conditions it has been ne
cessary to design new boilers, install
new machinery and improve facili-
ties. This has been done and the in
creased sales demonstrates the wis
dom of the changes. The sales tn
year have exceeded 1850 boilers,

increase of $50 boilers over 1907. Even
with this production the foundry has
been from SO to 200 boilers behind in
its orders since June and it is under
stood that the company could have
easily placed $500 boilers this year II
they had had the facilities for turning
them out. II is this increased demand
and prospective increased future de-
mand that has brought about the pos
sible enlargement of the plant. To
build the 1850 boilers this year has
meant that everything else has been
given up and casting for other con-
Germs has been done away with. The
company has had to buy three hun.
dred tons of castings from outside
sources and they have had to pay dou-
BILE what it would have cost to manu-
facture the same castings in their own
plant.
Over $4,000 boilers nave been sold
in New England the past year. The
Putnam is admitted to be the best
boiler on the market today and there
is no reason why the Putnam foundry
cannot sell 5000 boilers year IL they
can produce them. In order to pro-
duce this amount of boilers the plant
will have to be greatly enlarged and
the cuts on another page show the
plans of the proposed enlargement.
The plans will doubtless be carried out
if the citizens will furnish the capital
to erect the buildings. The business is
there and if the company are put in
position, to produce the goods the
market is open TO receive them. There
can be no question of the success of
the undertaking if it is put into effect
1t will make good safe investment
for local capital, give the city a great
industry, and prove benefit to all
citizens. 1t is impossible to run any
