DETAILING Scripture with a
ROEmanist Wise-Acre

4 N eminent shaven- head shad-belly, named
John f. Noll, publishes paper at Hunt
ingdon, Indiana. It is called The Su2aday
Visitor. It's the same paper that published
the advertisement Of the country priest who
wanted a handsome young woman to come
and live with him-as his housekeeper
got after Noll about this, and he slipped
the adj out Of his paper Perhaps, the priest
had already got the woman, and didn't need
to run the ad. any more.
This is the same Visitor which bluffed an
offer of 900 for any one who could prove
that Papa's church opposed Bible reading by
the common people.
I offered to take up that offer, but Father
Noll withdrew it.
Now isn't it strange that after having pre-
tended we were lying when we said popery
refused the Bible to the people, that the Visi-
tor itself ShOuzd Prove oar case for us?
In its issue for March 22, 1914, The Sunday
Visitor, under the heading of Bureau of
information" runs the following question
and answer:
Question: Did not Christ command to read
the Bible when He said, search the Scriptures?"
Answer: By no means. He did, indeed, tell
the Jews that if they wished to ascertain whether
He really the Messias, they should search
the Scriptures,' and they would find therein
ample testimony to substantiate his claim Not
of the New Testament books was written
when Christ uttered these words.
Now, what do you think of that?
Here is a reader of this Romanist paper
who honestly believes it is his right to read
the Bible for himself. Having some doubts,
however, he inquiries of TIE Sunday Visitor,
citing the command Of the Savior, "Se0rch
the Scriptures"
But + ather N6ll rebuffs the honest inquirer,
and tells him fatty that Christ did not COM
mand any general reading of the Bible
The effect Of Father Noll's answer is, that
the Gentiles are not to search the Scriptures!
Noll says that Christ meant nothing more
than that the Jers could read he Old Tesla
ment.
What an impudent statement! Did the
Jews have to wait for Christs permission to
read their own sacred writings?
Didn't the Jews always have that right?
And if it is good thing for Jews to read
the Bible, is it bad thing for Gentiles?
O these Romanists! | never dreamed of
the extent of the realm Of lies until [ entered
upon this Roman question.
Father Noll reminds his correspondent that
Christ could not have meant the New Testa-

Bryan paper, said this about the dagger
amendment offered by Senator Smith of Geor-
ga:
ATTACK CONSIDERED ON VITAL PART.
This blow directed at the most vital part of
the Parcel Post service, deprecated by every
sincere friend Of that branch of postal operation
The original farmers of the existing law decided
that the Parcel Post could only be made valuable
to the people by giving the Postmaster General
the power to fix the rates and the weight limits
when conditions required a change. And the
judgment of these lawmakers has been COM
pletely indicated by the favor with which the
extensions of the service have been received by
the people.
To have adopted either of the two Bankhead
amendments would have been to take from the
Postmaster General and the POstOffce Department
the authority to fix rates and thereby prevent any
further expansion of the system. Such step, it
was cOntended, meant the stagnation of this USE
full branch Of the postal service.
Senator Smith did not show his hand in
behalf of the Express Companies until after
he had flooded the country with copies of his
virtuous speech against the Express Com
panies.
Having doped all the Georgia dailies with
his U57t2t0u8 talk IN faU0r Of the Parcels Post,
he went into action with the corporation
Senators TO ASSASSINATE THE PAR-
GELS POST.

HANNA MAKES REPLY
 TO HIS TWO RIVALS
Emphatically Denies That He Crawled Out of Game With East Ends.
 on July 19
Sporting Editor Herald:

Sporting Editor Herald:
 Dear Sir Axel Earnest advises me to think it over. l give him the same advice and the same holds true to William Green, manager of the so-called Valley leaguers And furth- ermore. l defy the East Ends and Valley league teams to play one game to see which is the better team. Can they do this? My answer is No! and to prove my assertion I will name eight players who play on both teams. Here they are: Schroeder. Dudjack, J. Wright, T. Wright. Moore, Fusari, Begley and Donovan. How in the name of common sense can they form the East Ends and the Valley league teams out of these players? And yet MT. Green challenges the Rangers to a series and then MT. Earnest comes out with another challenge in behalf of the East Ends.
 MT. Earnest refers to me as crawl ing out of a game with the East Ends on July 19. I can, assure him that the game was never arranged. He came to me Sunday evening, July 12, and asked me for a game the fol- lowing Sunday. I told him I had an
 
 Monday. Monday noon I saw a fel- low employe at the New Britain Ma chine shop and I told him to tell MT. Earnest that I would not book him. And a few days afterward I had talk with MT. Earnest and told him the Pioneers were after a series with either his club or the Rangers. We agreed to wait, and the team that was
 
 Rangers with the understanding that the East Ends should play the winner. Still he insists that the Rang CTS "crawled." He refers to the Tiger Rangers series last fall. I did not have anything to do with the Rangers at that time and as to hav- ing team just as good, we are sev- enty-five per cent. stronger than last years Ranger team. We have played two local teams and defeated them, which is the exact number of teams the East Ends have played, so we have cleaned up some ourselves.
 MT. Green says I gave as an excuse that my team did not want to play. If he had read my answer to MT Guenther in Tuesday nights Herald he would have seen the reason I told him the Rangers were booked up until the Pioneer series which will he announced next week and still he says we are afraid of his Valley lea guers or East Ends. one team with two managers. In conclusion l wish to state I will take no more notice of challenges. etc, from local tea ms through the newspapers

Walter Johnson Wins Own Cane

New York, Aug. 15.-The Bostons are trimming the Giants just as they have been doing the other teams, the only difference being that the Giants are a bit easier for them than the others. Stallings earnest and am- bilious young men beat the leaders 7 to 3 yesterday, and instead. of the battle resembling one between pen- nant contenders it was like a cham pion polishing off a tail ender. The Giants didn't play first division base ball from any angle, while the Braves did, and the former made poor showing alongside their more aggres- sive and more spirited adversaries. The score:

New Ork, August 1o-A striking illustration of the international char acter of amateur sport is afforded by the situation that has developed as a result of the war in Europe Early in the season there was every reason for the belief that 1914 would be the greatest year in the history of com petition. With the unexpected con- flict abroad international contests of all kinds have been cancelled and may not be resumed for months or even years.
 On this side of the Atlantic the Americas cup race is the most impor- tant event to be cancelled but other competitions will lose the foreign en- tries that were expected. The anna teur and open golf championships and the national tennis tournament will be without foreign entrants since even the Davis cup teams now in this country plan to leave for home as soon as the challenge round is com pleted. Abroad the Harmsworth motorboat contest and the interna- tional aviation races at Rheims are off as we'll as all the various national OI lhS I<ui opCoii tooh- tries.
 The result of the war from an ath- letic and sporting standpoint may be greater for it Is likely to upset events scheduled for several years to come. The Sonder boat races at Kiel in 1915 and the Olympic games at Berlin in 1916 are no longer assured fixtures. Athletic authorities both in America and abroad realize that if the present war continues for any extended pe- riod Germany will not be in a posi- ton to act as host to the Olympic teams Entries from all the Eu- ropean countries will be greatly cur tailed if not abandoned entirely and it may be necessary to postpone the games or transfer the meet to some nation not involved in the clash Of arms.
 In commenting on this angle of the present unsettled state of affairs ath- letic, James E. Sullivan, secretary of the American Olympic committee, said:
 United States For Olympics?
 of course it's looking long ways ahead to attempt to predict the effect of the war abroad on the Olympic games of 1916. Personally I hope that Europe will be at peace again before that time and that there will be no need of a change in the pro- gram. If, however, shift is neces- sary the United States is the logical country in which to hold the games and the American committee will carry out the schedule as planned by Germany without hitch of any kind. We have available stadiums in many parts of the country, several of which are capable of seating from forty to fifty thousand spectators Should it prove desirable to postpone the Pan a ma Pacific exposition planned for San Francisco next year until 1916 the Olympic games would undoubtedly be held there in connection with the fair. If the exposition is held ac- cording to schedule Chicago. Pitts burg, New York and Boston are all available for the following year.

Calumet the Secret of Economy

The high cost OF living nowadays. and
the way prices are steadily climbing sky
wards, is making economy In the Kitchen
even more important than II was in the
good old days OF our thrifty ancestors.
But how TO achieve economy? There's
the rub!
In many lines, II depends almost en-
tlrely on the housewives knowledge OF
foods and on her watchfulness-but for
tunately In one line, baking, economy
can be made almost automatic by the use
OF the famous Calumet Baking Powder.
Economy in baking as every good cook
knows, depends not so much on economy
in buying the materials as on the success
OF her bakings. Failures mean waste
bigger losses by far than the savings she
makes In buying. And the fact that Calu-
met absolutely prevents failures ana
makes every baking successful has made
IL the faVorte OF every cook that seeks
TO be economical In other words. Calu-
met is the secret of economy in baking.
II is the purest, too-attested by hun
dreds of leading physicians-and as for
its general quality, II is enough to say
that Calumet has received the highest
awards at two Worlds Pure Food EXPOSE

MAKES AIM ALMOST CERTAIN
Invention Said to Guarantee Every
Shot Bullseye, Even In
the Dark.

Charles Pechard, a police official or
Paris, has invented an attachment
that enables one to shoot a revolver
more accurately in the dark than In
broad daylight, the New York hide
pendent states.
This attachment consists of metal
lie tube with a lens at one end and a
tiny electric lamp at the other. BY
means Of mirrors the light is directed
out through the lens as a slender cone.
and is sufficiently strong at distance
of some four rods for all practical pur-
poses. In the middle of the illumina-
ted field there is small dark spot
which comedies with the line of the
bullets fight. This enables the mex
perienced shooter to hit a selected
part OF the burglars anatomy with
more certainty than he could display
in ordinary target practice.
The electric current is supplied by a
small dry battery or a storage battery.
which the officer can carry In hif
pocket or which the defender OF the
home can place under his pillow. The

nary pistol, and 1t may be used as
flash with peaceful intent or merely
as show of force.
