Their sermons may not be very scholarly. But they inspire their hearers to re- newed courage and strength to fight Mfe's battle.
 Probably right here is one of sew eraI reasons for Billy Sundays s mar vicious success. He deals with practi- cal life, with problems that meet the average man and woman. The aver age preacher without initiating Billy Sundays slang, can give his sermons the quality of human interest that the Sunday sermons always have.

DON'T HOLD HIS HAT.

Dear Miss Libbey:
 Your advise would be appreciated I am a young girl of eighteen and would love to know if it is proper of improper to hold a gentleman's hat in time of church service, especially if you are sitting in the seat with him
 M It is unnecessary to hold his hat. if you look about you, you would see that other young ladies are not doing so. While not necessarily inpolite, it is against usual custom, therefore odd and might be commented upon un- favoraJbly if the hat holding was ob- served.

doubtful when found that 5E1is treatment was just contrary to yours but decided to keep still for if the man should have died by following my suggestions then both Dr. Reeder and myself would have got the blame; still was far from satisfied when I saw the hot congresses applied to his chest. Inside of twenty four hours he was dead. He had been sick for five days only.
 Will you please tell me if at any time in a case of pneumonia heat should be applied to the chest, or do you know of reliable remedy for this malady? It seems as if we were going to have. quite a number of cases around here.
 M. O.. Undoubtedly your relative would today be living if he had followed the home method of treatment for pneu- monfa described in the Club books You can rest assured that I would neither dare nor want to tell any thing in these books that would prove injurious. I have taken special pains in describing the treatments so that there could be no nnisund derstanding
 Pneumonia cannot be overcome by the use of medicine, and to apply warm applications on the chest only made matters worse. Instead of re- ieving the strong fire or inflamma- ton in the lungs they added to the fire and at last it got so strong that death could not be avoided. All of this is so plainly described in the club books and I have so often mentioned it both in public and private letters that I do not consider it necessary to further discuss the matter No remedies can cure pneumonia as al- ready stated, and there are only a few doctors of today who even try to such means. They may. recommend something to keep the heart action normal but that is all. Personally I object to such remedies and besides they are not necessary if the Home Health Club treatment is employed from the beginning. Pneumonia is contagious

The former is made by first closing the seam. matching the notches. Then the cuff Is closed as far as the small s'oe perforation. and sewn to sleeve. If the fullness is shrunken out of the sleeve before it is sewed into the armhole, the finish will be more effective.
 To make the jacket, pleat front sec ton. placing ''T'' on corresponding small so- perforations and tack. Close the under-arm seam as notched; then sew up the shoulder seam. After the seams are stitched, press them open carefully and do not stretch. or the line of the coat will be spoiled Match the notches on the collar with those on the neck and sew on collar.
 If the flare sleeve Is preferred. leave the back seam free below small .'o' perforation when closing the seam. Sew in armho1e, inside seam at notch in front, easing in any fullness,
 Se1f-covered buttons trim the front of the coat, and. if desired, a narrow band of braid may be used to bind the lower edges.

Suitable for development in serge, faille, crepe nofre. voiIe. etc, is this model, with plain skirt and jacket. The treatment of the extended sides after the severe shaping of the front and back of the coatee is unusual Three and one half yards of 54-inch goods are sufficient for the suit.

Moose Motorcycle Ra ce Ticket Selling Campaign Opens This Morning With Headquarters at Chamber of Commerce

Harry Welch at the chamber of com merce will distribute the tickets to the young women desiring to enter the con test for the diamond ring that will re ward the seller of the most tickets to the Moose motorcycle race. Several have significd their intention of com peting. and the sale of tickets is all ready started.
 The prizes. a beautiful $6O ring, and q lavalliere are on display at the jewel ry store of White and Wesley.
 Using the chamber of commerce as the headquarters for the "Go get 'em Club" Was bright idea, as it gives the Moose a down town place where names of entrants can be left and tick cts distributed. Money collected for said pastehoards is also to be left there.
 Dr. BOido learned yesterday in wire from the Harley-Davidson factory that the Appeal Jobbing company of Los Angeles would handle the race as far as the gray machines entries were concerned. Doc. J.

terfere with the open door policy to which all the leading nations are com mitted.
 This government not only had no thought of surrendering any of its treaty rights with China but it never had been asked by either Japan or China to make any surrender of these rights There is no abatement of its interest in the welfare and progress of China and it's sole interest in the pres ent negotiations is that they may be concluded in a manner satisfactory to both nations and that the terms of the agreement will not only contribute to the prosperity of both these great Ori- entaI empires, but will also maintain that cordial relationship 90 essential to the future of both and to the peace of the world.
 No remarks accompanied the state ment nor was there any further expla- nation of the purpose of it's issuance at this time It is noted in many guar ters, however. that the American gov ernment by pointing out 1t had no in tention of surrendering any of it's trea- ty rights with China might be endeaV bring to dissipate the notion that eX- isted in some parts of the far east that the United States would remain entire lv passive with respect to any treaties between the United States and China, and which might be violated by the acceptance of some of the Japanese de- lands.
 Since the recent exchange of notes between the United States and Japan. press reports from Tokio stated that the United states is in accord with the Japanese policy and that China might expect no moral assistance from the United States. It is intimated in Tokio dispatches published in Pekin and here that the United States is satis- fled with the Japanese explanation of the demands.
 Officials declined to reveal what was said in the notes sent to Japan or Chi na, or to comment on the Japanese reply.
 It has been understood for some time, however. that the United States thought that the way could be cleared by mutual concessions and compromise to a modification of the Japanese de- mands.
 It would not be surprising to well informed persons here if President Yuan Shi appealed to the powers peloIe answering the JapaneSe ultl- matum. It is reported here general iy tonight that informal consultations are in progress between the various powers and parties to the Hay open door policy which pledged their sup port to the maintenance of the ter Iitorial integrity of China. The Jap anese Amba ssador referred as he was leaving the department to the lex aggerat ted report From this and other information available in Japan csc quarters. the impression is gained that as far as the Japanese embassy is concerned ii does not anticipate an armed clash in the far east.

HE WAS A POOR JUDGE OF
 CHICKENS

In the current issue of Farm and Preside several contributors discuss the best ways to develop egg-laying qualities in poultry. Some believe strongly in trap nesting and others do not One of the advocates of trap nesting tells the following story:
 "Once at a poultry show I met a man who did not think the trap nest necessary, as he had taken a cores pondence course in How to tell the layer and could pick 'em out. We had pen on exhibition consisting of No. 2262: No. 49, another 200-egg hen, another hen which the trap nest had shown to be a very poor layer. and a hen which had not been tested.
 T at once asked him to pick out the best layers from that pen, and he picked the poor layer and the uni tested hen as good layers. and re- jected the 20O-egg hens as poor lay CTS"

 While this was going on and after the cries of Yuen had reused his neighbors. the police were hurrYing to the scene Yama taking time only to remove his shoes. which he left alongside Yuen's form. made his way up the narrow stairs and finally into a small room just a the rear of the counters in Yuens store There he closed the door and crawl ed under a straw mating couch. en- deavoring to conceal himself behind suit cases. bottles and jugs which were present in profusion.
 Night Captain of Police John J. McGrath who had arrived with the patrol wagon and other officers. made a careful survey of the cellar and failing to find the robber instituted a search of the main floor. As he en- tered the room at the rear of the counters, his flash light in one hand and his gun in the other, he heard a movement and then q rush as Yama came from under the couch. Surprised by the muzzle of the of ficers gun, Yama threw up his hands and surrendered
 At the police station he refused to make any statement other than to give his name. A physician was
