Is this the Trouble with
YOUR Church? :?

In the March Woman's Home Com
panion, Bruce Barton writes an arti-
Gle entitled "Why Fifty Women Go
to Church." Last month he publish
ed an article entitled "Why Fifty
Women Do Not Go to Church" He
has interviewed several hundred rep
resentative women living in widely
different localities and asked them
for frank expression of opinion. A
woman tells, as follows, what she
thinks is the real trouble with the
church:
81 suppose the real trouble with our
church is that it is struggling to
adapt itself to a changed community
life For all the years of its earlier
existence it was the sole means OF the
social intercourse, the only social CEN
ter, the only clearinghouse of COM
munity life. People came to 1T glad
ly on Sunday, not merely fer the IN
spiration that it gave but because it
afforded them an opportunity to meet
each other, and to visit together after
the morning service. Now there are
so many other activities that bring
them together: transportation is so
improved and communication so easy
that this great motive for church at
tendance has lost its power. More
over, the sermon is no longer the sole
means of intellectual enlightenment.
Every present day sermon must put
itself into competition with score of
magazine articles that have been
brought into the community during
the week, with the daily papers, and
the great resources of the public h
braries. 1t is no wonder that church
attendance has dropped off; but my
strong belief is that the need of the
community for the church is so vital
that it will never pass out of our life.
1t must readjust itself: l stand loyal
to it because hope to help it work
out that readjustment."

Increase Weight
Quickly
Simple Way for the Thin and
Pale To Be Plump
and Rosy.

Samose can hardly be termed a
medicine; 1t is in reality a flesh
forming food. Taken before or after
meals, 1t mingles with the food You
eat, enables it to assimilate and read
lily digest, go as to make rich blood
and pleasing plumpness.
After Samose has been used week
or ten days a noticeable gain in
weight is seen. The sallow complex
ion will become rosy, the sunken
cheeks will have a rudy glow, the
eyes will be bright, the breath sweet
and the step elastic.
Jacobs Pharmacy customers have
told them of the remarkable results
following the use of Samose, the great
flesh forming food. and they are so
thoroughly convinced Of its reliability
that they are selling it under their

At the banquet OF the Laymen's
Missionary Movement at the Ansley
Hotel Thursday night resolutions
pledging all the Methodist churches
of the city to support the movement
for the erection of a $4,000 church
and mission in Havana, Cuba, were
adopted. There was not a dissenting
vote. The banquet was attended by
more than $50.
The local churches not only are to
erect the sanctuary in Havana, but
agree to maintain 1t until it becomes
self supporting.
Five thousand dollars, 1t is planned,
shall be raised among the Sunday
schools; $1,000 among the Epworth
Leaguers and the remaining $4,000 is
to be contributed by the various

CAVEMAN WOOER

0. Coleman Insisted That His
Sister-in-Law Wed Him Al
though She Spurned Him.

Too much affection got O. Coleman
into grievous trouble over his pref
ty sister-in-law and now he is in
Jail awaiting trial in the Superior
Court, charged with carrying con-
cealed weapons, and with pointing a
pistol at Miss Elizabeth Lovvorn in
an effort to compel her to marry him
Coleman is butcher and his ideas
of wooing appear to be decidedly
broad. After the death of his wife,
Miss Lovvorn welcomed him and his
three small children to her home, and
undertook to mother her sisters
little ones.
Coleman evidently mistook her in
terest and began trying to wed her.
She declined repeatedly, but he was
not to be convinced that she meant
it. He tried buying a license, but
even that outburst of generosity and
confidence did not move Miss Low
worm.
Then he took to threatening, Miss
Lovvorn stated in the police court
trial Thursday.
So she sent for the police, and
George c. Billiard, sergeant of de-
tectives, and 4. ID. Shaw, policeman,
went to her home at No. 23S Wood
ward avenue near midnight Wednes-
day.
While they were talking the mat
ter over Coleman was seen walking
back and forth in front of the house.
The officers went out and talked kind
ly with him, giving him much good
advice. Finally he admitted having
gun in his pocket and was accord
ingly arrested.
He is being held to the Superior
Court under a $500 bond.

Convention of "Honeymooners"
To Be Held in AtIanta-Scores
of Them Are Coming.
Newlyweds-t to- be, ahoy!

The honeymoon is in the offing!
Atlanta, having held most every
sort of convention you can think Of,
will now add another sprig to her
laurel wreath by holding an uncon-
ventional convention-one of the sort
you'd hardly ever think of.
1t is to be a convention of honey
mooners. And Shriner honeymoon
ers at that! The convention is sched-
uled for May, when the national con-
vention of the Imperial Council of
the Shriners is to be held here.
1t is rumored that these visitors,
whose speciality is so combining mys-
ticisfn and monkey business that the
onlooker can not tell which is which,
mean to yank the lid off and see what
makes Atlanta tick.
Experienced Ones Say It's Great.
And rumor goes further and init
mates that the newlyweds of the
gathering will have a prominent part
in all the festive goings-on.
Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. G. Maxwell have
been Shriner honeymooners and know
what it's like. Mr.. Maxwell, who is
advertising manager for the Rhodes
Wood Furniture Company, says it's
great Mrs. Maxwell holds to the
same opinion.
There's one thing you can say
about it," says she. IF you go to a
Shriners' convention as a bride and
live through the teasing and congrat-
ulations you get, you are joke proof.
After that the most expert 'kidder'
can't feaze YOU"
The MaXwells were bride and bride
groom at the Dallas convention last
May.
Many of Them Coming.
Mr.. Maxwell, who at the time was
living in Charleston, S. c., was wed
in Forest City, Ark. and left imme-
diately for the convention city in the
Lone Star State.
IF you don't think it's some eX-
perience to be a honey .nooner at the
convention, you watch the newly
weds at the Atlanta convention m
May" he told a reporter for The
Georgian And there'll be coolies
of 'em, too" he added. Lots and
lots of single Shriners have arranged
their weddings so as to spend the
honeymoon period at the convention
here. It's just little way they
have"
Mr. Maxwell has received word
from his home temple, Omar, ct
Charleston, that they are coming a
thousand strong.

HOW MINE WAS SALTED
Done so Skillfully at Juneau Tat
Rascals Got First Payment

Joplin, Mo- January 17.-tSpecial.)
While the practice of mine sailing is
not as common as 1t was 20 years or
more ago, 1t is still occasionally done,
and in Mexico with particular skill.
One of the most successful larger
scale operations of this nature was per-
petrated at Juneau, Alaska, about 20
years ago, writes a correspondent in
the Engineering and Mining Journal.
Three partners owned a ledge 200 TO
500 feet wide on an island near Ju-
neau. They had done a great deal Of
work in tunnels, drifts and raises, but
the ore was too low grade to make the
property of any value. The owners,
however proceeded to work up sale
on a basis of a total price of $780,
100000 two 25 per cent payments to
be made after examination.
The prospective buyers sent two DIFF
ferent corps of engineers, one follow
ing the other One of the owners met
the first party in San Francisco,
worked into its good graces and as
sisted in the sampling. He was able to
salt the samples so that they repre-
sented a value of 81 per ton The sec
ond party was met by another of the
owners and the same scheme success
fully worked. The samples checked
nicely.
Wishing to make assurance doubly
sure, the purchasers sent out a third
party, but the engineer in charge OF
this one would have nothing to do
with the owners and required them to
turn the mine over to him and leave
the island. He took two or three tons
of samples and the lot, in large sacks,
was brought to Juneau and remained
on the wharf several days while wait :
ing for a San Francisco boat, in charge
of a watchman day and night.
While the samples were on the
wharf three fellows dressed as trav-
elers or tourists, with their little dude
canes, strolling around, would come to
these sacks, ask the watchman a lot
of foolish questions about them. ana
all the time they would be stabbing
and punching the sacks with their dude
canes, which We're loaded with chlor-
ide of gold. This was repeated several
times, each time changing the disguise.
1t was so well done that the third en-
gineer's report was satisfactory and the
schemers received their first payment,
all that they expected.
About 10 years ago a property on
Signal Hill, Cripple Creek. within less
than a mile from the town, was salted
by using chloride of gold in a shotgun
shooting 1t into the breasts of the
drifts and bottom of the shaft. 1t was
so we'll done that the swindlers re-
ceived the first payment, amounting to
$4,000.

Talking with a one-legged sailor at the

years there has been a marked i'm

only are the creatures quicker off tbs

pauses during which one feared that

frequent occurrence and the loudest

PRESERVING THE BISON
Entire Number in Various National
Parks Now 5000

A recent shipment of IA bison from the
Bronx park to the new bison range in
the Wind Cave national park, in the
western part of South Dakota, directs
renewed attention to the efforts to con-
serve this species of naml, once so
plentiful, says the New York Times
The IA animals We're presented to the
government by the American Bison So
ciety, an organization which is working
to prevent the eXtenction OF the bison,
At the present time there are in the Uni
ted States and Canada in various herds
slightly less than 5000 pure-blooded bison.
The principal herds are located in Cam
ada. in the Yellowstone national park,
in Salt Lake City, Utah; in the Wichita
national forest in Oklahoma, in Mon
tana, in the Blue Mountain forest in New
Hampshire and at Fort Pierre. S. D.,
while smaller numbers of the animal are
scattered over the country in geological
parks.
If the work .of caring for and develop
ing the buffalo herd in the Wind Cave
national park is as successful as it has
been at the Wichita reserve under the
direction of Mr.. Bush, the establishment
of the new bison range will go long
way toward giving back to the west
many of the noble animals. The Wichita
herd was started about seven years ago
with 10 buffaloes, which Were presented
to the government by the American Bison
society, and the herd now contains 4S
full-blooded animals. of which 27 are
males and q are females.
At the Oklahoma reserve considerable
difficulty was experienced at first be-
cause of fear of the Texas fever tick. BY
careful burning of the range. however,
and the use of oil sprays on the animals,
the attendants prevented the loss of the
herd, which was predicted by old cattle
men of the southwest. Only two anirnals
were lost from any cause. The work OF
freeing the ranges from fever ticks was
gradually extended. and for several years
not single loss from fever has occurred.

A SERIOUS PROBLEM

Galveston. Tex, January 2i-(SpeciaI)
Mexicans in the border towns on the
American side of the Rio Grande attraes
considerable attention during these days
of political turmoil in Mexico. For one
thing there are greater numbers of such
people who have no regular occupation
that there used to be, and more of them
in proportion to the total are women and
children than was the case when Mexico
was at peace within itself. Thus writes
George McQuaid in the Galveston News,
and continues: In Eel Paso, Eagle Pass,
Laredo, Brownsville and a number of
other Americans towns on or near the
border there is always a considerable
number of permanent residents who are
wholly alien Mexican. OF course, natural
lied Mexicans are numerous on the bor-
der, but this refers more particularly to
the citizens of Mexico.
During the past two or three years the
Mexican colony in each of the border
cities has materially increased. In some
places 1t has more than doubled, but the
number of men capable of performing
labor has not increased. Indeed, their
number has diminished This is due to
the fact that there are a great many
Mexican men in the armies that are op-
posing each other in Mexico, a number
of the women and children of whom are
staying on the American side-for not all
the women of the soldiers in Mexico are
acting as purveyors' commissares to the
armies
