How This Little Orphan Boy Was
Cured.
We want the people of Clarksburg
to know that all letters like the fol-
lowing are truthful and genuine:
Towanda, Pa. Il took a little
orphan boy to live with me and last
Christmas he contracted hard cold
which developed into bronchitis. He
was very III and a bad cough set in
so that he coughed night and day.
After trying everything. nothing
seemed TO do him any good. until
along in February l got n bottle Of
Ninol. After using half the bottle
his cough began to improve. and two
bottles entirely cured his bronchitis
and he gained in weight so that he
doesn't look like the same child"
Harry a. Stephenson. Towanda. Pa.
The reason that cough syrup fall
in such cases Is because they are
palliative only, while yinol removes
the cause. being constitutional rem

ing elements Of fresh Gods livers, to-
gether with tonic iron and beef pep

Between Capitalists and Labor
Glasses as Result of Absent
Landlord System.

COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 10.-violent
conflicts between capitalistic and la
Dor classes in farming communities
may develop over the country unless
there is something done to prevent
the growing tendency toward the
system Of absentee landlord, the Rev.
Harry F.sWard. OF Boston. told the
commission on church and country
life In an address here.
Fred B. Smith. New York business
man and originator of the men and
religion movement. in an address to-
night deplored the existence Of so
many church denominations working
independently OF each other. Meetings
OF the federal council of churches are
being held simultaneously wi,
OF the commission. President Wilson
will speak tonight.
The Rev. Mr.. Ward. who is secre-
tary OF the home missions board of
the Methodist Episcopal church for
Massachusetts,. said rural churches
must band together to preach con-
tentment with country life and there
by keep owners on their farms in
stead OF leasing them to tenants.
Unless this tenant system is rem
edied. he said, the end Is either an
inferior. subservient peasant class us
In England. objects OF charity like
the city poor. or n rebellious group
OF agricultural workers with class ha-
tired growing among them. With the
Industrial Workers OF the World or
ganizing the seasoned agricultural
workers and farm owners becoming
absentee capitalists. 1t looks as
though the conflict that is develop
Ing In this country between those
who receive income merely from own
ership Of property and those who re-
ceive II from service rendered, would
gather strength in the rural districts.
He said child labor is increasing
In rural communities, and that there
Is often under-norishment and lack
Of proper education among children.
He declared this fact is recog.
nized not only by sociological work
ers but by practical leaders. Far
mers in prosperous communities
often do not realize conditions which
exist in less favored localities, how
ever. he suggests.
Mr. smith, In his address, said:
The present war Is a fruit OF d.
vided Christianity. There was Chris
tian sentiment enough In the world,
II there had bee ma method which
could have brought its full impact to
bear upon the contending nations, to
have absolutely prevented this out
break. II the old order is to be con-
tinued. the same thing will occur
again, earlier or later. Not poll
ticlans. nor kings. but united voice
OF the believers in the Gospel of Jesus
Christ will some day TX the stand
ards Of world peace. This alone is
sufficient to demand united church.
THE aloof UNCONVENTIONAL attempt
to extend Christianity to the nom
Christian world has proved a nat
ridiculous failure" said Mr.. Smith.
THE task of proper, forcefu1. con-
tinuous religious education is un-
solved mp to this date. We have.

for few children, smattering in
the home for a yet smaller company,
the pulpit for another group, and an
annual spell OF hysterlcal revival for
the least number, as means for
teaching the truths Of God. A united
Christianity alone can meet the need.
'Fifty-seven different varieties will
be repudiated soon. A world re-
duced to neighborhood demands a
common religion"
Tho Rev. S. L. Morris, of Atlanta.
Ca. told the commission today the
country church is suffering because
rural ministers are called on to de-
vote their time to several congrega-
tons, because of the tenant system
Of farming. and because the churches
do not cooperate in their community
work.

The Open Door

We say it again with emphasize,
the doors Of America are wide open to
foreign commerce, and when the war
is over and the wheels of industry in
Europe are again turning to their full
capacity of production, there will be
nothing TO prevent the United States
from becoming the dumping ground
for the goods of the great nations at
war, unless the vicious tariff system
now in force is repealed and protec-
ton restored. 1t is not necessary to
an open door that all imports be put
upon the free list. The present adj
ministration has gone far in that re-
spect and doubtless would go farther
were it not for the requirements of
revenue, but there still remains a re-
spectacle number of products upon
which duties are payable. The NOM
ent, however, that tariff rates are
lowered below the point of protection
they cease to be barrier or a check
to importations, and become, to the
contrary, an invitation to the outland-
er to come in and welcome. That is
the effect and the purpose of the IN
derwood tariff act, and the fact that
we are not now reaping all the evil
consequences of that measure is due
to the temporary suppression of the
manufacturing industries Of Europe.
When the war is over and the &C
cidental protection from foreign man.
ufacturers that the conflict has given
us ceases to exist, the competition for
American trade will be active and
ruthless. The purchasing power of the
markets of Europe will be greatly de-
creased. America, bullying with gold,
will be the worlds oyster, not to be
opened with Pistolian sword, for it
is already open. The salesman of
Germany and France, and of every
other one of the countries that have
goods to sell will cross seas in num-
bers, and the present tariff will not
keep them from making prices that
American producers cannot meet with
out loss. This will not come immed-
lately after the war ends, for it will
take some time to restore industrial
activities in Europe, but it will come,
unless the people of America take
steps to prevent the attack upon our
trade and our riches.

FORMER DISCO MAN
DIED IN CALIFORNIA

| Mrs. II. A. Waldron received news
of the death of her nephew, Asa Doug
las last week at his home in Corona,
| California.
Mr.. Douglas lived with his parents
just north of Cooks Corners when
boy about thirty years ago, and went
west few years alter with only few
dollars in his pocket. After the
death of his father he began to shift
for himself and about five years ago
he sold a ranch he owned for 1000.
The Corona newspaper says:
Funeral services Of Asa Douglas
will be held Monday at 10 a. m, from
the home 1922 North Bright avenue.
The sudden death Of Mr.. Douglas
at his ranch near Corona came as a
shock to his wife and daughter and to
his many friends here. He drove to
Corona on Wednesday to attend to
the work of irrigating his ranch there.
and on Friday morning his body was
found on the floor of a small shack
on the ranch. 1t is thought that death
came early Thursday morning, as evil
dences of work at the ranch proved
that he had only worked about five
minutes, when he was stricken with
cerebral hemorrhage. Marks in the
soft earth near one of the irrigating
stands indicate that he fell to the
ground and later recovered enough to
walk to the shack. Seated on a low
bench, he passed away. The coroner
of Riverdale county stated that death
must have occurred early Thursday
morning. 1t was not until neigh
Dor, noticing the water running to
waste on the Douglas ranch, Friday,
morning, decided to invetigate, that
the body was found.
Thursday morning Mr.. Douglas
left Corona about o'clock in his
automobile to drive to his ranch. He
appeared in good health.
A widow and one child, daughter,
are left to mourn the loss of husband
and father. Asa Douglas was born
January 5, 1868, in Michigan, and has
been a resident of Southern California
for the past twenty-five years.
