Rev. II. ]. Calls, pastor.

The first Quarterly Meeting for this
conference year was held at our church
last Sunday. The services all day were
well attended. The sermon in the af-
ternoon by Rev. Carroll, pastor of
Scott s NJ. f. Church, was a splendid
effort and was greatly enjoyed by all
who were present.
The reports rendered at the Quar-
terly Conference showed a steady in
crease in the work. Something over
one thousand dollars was raised. Our
church is in splendid working condi-
ton and it is hoped that by the earn
est and honest cooperation of the mem
bers and friends under the leadership
of our pastor, Rev. Calls, that the
financial effort which is being made to
raise the Indebtedness now due on the
mortgage, will be a success.
Rev. Calls will preach in the morn
ing at IL a. m. Rev. DR.. Fisher of
Olivet Baptist Church will preach in
the afternoon at three o'clock. At the
evening service, Mr.. J. Wilbur Messer,
the General Secretary of the Y. NJ. C.
A. in Chicago, will give his popular
address on Worldwide Brotherhood.
He will be accompanied by stereoptican
views. This will be Mr.. Messer's last
talk before his departure upon a trip
around the world. After a service in
the Y. NJ. c. A. work of twenty-five
years, Mr.. Messer will be absent from

ROTTEN AIR MOVIES"

Do you go to the "movies''f If not,
you are an exception, for there are few
people in Chicago now that are not
attracted occasionally at least, to these
cheap and popular places of amuse-
ment, the moving picture theatres.
But some of these places are very dan
gerOus places for people to visit for
the reason that they are not properly
ventilated; some not at all. For the
reason that the air in such places is
dirty and dangerous, they should be
7ayoided. So, when you 60 to see a
moving picture show, look for a theatre
that has a card posted in the entrance
and which reads like this:
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
City Of Chicago
This is to Certify that this theatre is
equipped with a system of ventilation,
which, if operated as it is intended to
be, will insure to the patrons the supply
of fresh air required by law.
(Signed) G. B. YOUNG,
(SeaD Commissioner of Health.
If you don't see the card, move on
until you find a theatre that displays
this certificate of approval signed by
the Commissioner of Health, and which
informs you that the proprietor of the
theatre has complied with the law and
is making an honest effort to provide
for the comfort and safety of his
patrons.
It can be readily understood that
there is a vast difference in the air
people will get in a well-ventilated
theatre and that which they are com
PEELED to breathe in one that has no
Ventilation at all. The Department of
Health has made many tests of the
air in the five and ten cent theatres,
of which there are more than 600 in
Chicago, and in every instance the air
from the unventilated theatres showed
the presence of bacteria in large num-
bers as compared with that taken from
those places where the ventilation was
good. These tests mean that, approx
mately, person in the bad-air theatre
takes fifty times greater chances of
catching some infection than he would
in the well ventilated theatre. For
health reasons alone and to prevent
needless sickness and suffering, the
Department of Health urges people to
patronize only those places where the
card of approval is placed. The Com
missioner of Health emphasizes the i'm
portance Of following these suggestions
for the reason that some of the NOV
ing picture men are not inclined to
obey the law and are doing all they
can to prevent its proper enforcement.
These men are not willing to spend
the money that would be required to
make their places safe. In other
words they are thinking more of the
dollars than they are of the health and
safety of their patrons. Such men do
not deserve the patronage of the peo-
pie whose health they would imperil;
and there is little doubt that they will
bestow it, once they are informed as
to the kind of theatre to visit and the
kind to shun.

Following Development of
Evidence in Inquest Over
Cora Towne Case
NOVEMBER 20 DATE
SET FOR CONVENING
Special Session Of Caledonia
County Court Is
Called

st. Johnsbury, Nov. r. Following the
death of Cora Towne, aged 25, on Nov.
6, as the result of poisoning with BIZ
chloride of mercury, special session OF
Caledonia county court has been called
for Nov. 20. Almost up to her last
breath the girl asserted that the poison
was given her by Fred Finn, chauf
feur, with instructions to take it for Il
pain in her stomach. Finn maintained
his innocence, but it is evident that the
secret inquest developed enough evidence
to warrant calling the court together.
The inquest and autopsy have just been
completed, and a special grand jury was
summoned this morning. Finn is in the
county jail.
States Attorney w. A. Dutton OF
Hardwick win represent the state, and
H. B. Howe will appear for the respond
ent. If the case comes to trial, Judge
Stanton, who presided at the last term
of county court, probably will be the
presiding judge; but if he does not
serve, Judge L. p. Slack is expected TO
take charge if he is at liberty at that
time. Very likely the case would be
finished before the time for the regular
December term of the court to con-
vene.

FORCE INDUSTRIES TO
CLOSE AT CLEVELAND
Because of Shortage of Coal and the
Deep Snow, City Being Under Two
to Five Feet To-day.

Cleveland, o., Nov. l2.--As the day
progressed, prospects Of a speedy re-
sumption of normal street car traffic
were bright and the railroad, rising
above the effects of the blizzard, estab-
lished communication with the outside
world. Telephone and telegraph COM
panies will not be able to restore their
lines completely for weeks and perhaps
months. With the city under from two
to six feet of snow, the problem of dis
tributing available food and coal supply
caused the greatest anxiety.
To-day 1000 babies have been with
out milk for 36 hours and the prospects
of getting milk into the city are not
very good, but of other foods, except
green stuffs, there is fairly large sup
ply on hand. The big milk companies
yesterday made sales only to those
wanting it for babies. Factories began
shutting down yesterday because of the
coal shortage and may not open for a
week. Meat, eggs -four and butter, suf-
ficient to last several days, is to be had
in the town stores, but in the suburbs,
where it is impossible to carry supplies,
the grocers' shelves are almost empty.
Ten plants of the American Steel &
Wire Co, employing 5000 hands, closed
to-day for lack of coal. A large baking
on the west side was unable
to deliver Its products to-day and gave
away 5000 pies. Twelve hundred men
are working clearing away the street
car tracks.
