CHRISTIAN SCIENCE VIEW

Out Of all the conflicting views ex-
pressed concerning the BolliDger baby
case, that OF the Christian Scientists,
presented In an editorial in the Chris
tian Science Monitor, takes an angle
Of the question which is unique. The
Monitor warns its readers that accept
ance Of the principle that doctors may
pass upon the right OF any human be-
ing to live opens the way for a domi-
nation on the part Of the medical fra
ternity as autocratic SIS that Of the an
cient Caesars or the Church of the
Middle Ages It adds:
1T is scarcely necessary to point
out that the latest triumph of modern
medical science is not original, II has

mariners compass to gunpowder I'm
questionably they anticipated the lat
est Chicago medical practice. and so
as q matter of fact, did the Red In
dians, and few other people. We
imagine something of this nature has
also been heard Of along the banks OF
the Gauges, but we suspect that the re-
ViVers of the theory will not care to

have assumed that this school never
makes wrong diagnosis and is there
fore incapable Of doing away with an
unhealthy child which might have
been made into healthy one, when
we have assumed that this school pos

found to do away with unwished-for
children, after birth, just as unwished-

where Christian Science parents have

clans for the benefit Of afflicted chill.

Turpentine.

Oil of turpentine is by all odds the
best local application we know for
collie. Whether the cause Of the collie
be gallstones, chronic appendicitis, or
other undiagnosed condition accom-
panied with acute attacks of pain and
perhaps fatulence or gas formation,
turpentine is the the most efficacjous
home remedy We can mention.
But it matters great deal how the
turpentine Is administered.
II is very useful as a earrnatiYe and
heeting stimulant when given intern
ally to an adult mot TO child in one
dose Of about five drops ON some sugar
or In capsule. One dose is sufficient
1t should not be repeated.
But the better effect is obtained hy
the local application of turpentine in
the shape Of the turpentine stune.
A little turpentine goes a great way
Too much will blister. Here is the
way to use turpentine stupes:
Take a large wooden or flannel
cloth, drop II into water in basin
nearly boiling hot. Take two pieces oil

them through loops in the end OF a

One day Marguerite Phillips was
walking i'll the grounds about her Ia
theirs stately mansion when she heard
something drop, CHANGING about her,
she saw on the ground bit OF paper
huttering in the wind. Going to II.
she found it attached by string to
stone. Opening the paper, she read
am not free to enter your grounds
for a near view of your ravishlng
beauty, but there is nothing to prevent
nay sailing over you and admiring you
from a distance.
Naturally Marguerite turned her
gaze upward and saw an aeropiane
passing over her head.
She had read many stories of WOO
ings, but never anything like this.
Huntsmen had appeared TO maidens in
! the depths of forests to speak their
love; sailors had been washed ashore
from wrecked vessels TO love fisher
lassies who had rescued them: fugi-
ltiyes from an enemy had suddenly
arisen from the earth before girls to
excite pity which is akin to love. but
never before had Marguerite known 81
case of woman being wooed from the
clouds.
| As 10 her own experience she had
been courted by numerous suitors. but
never except in commonplace fashion.
| In the whole list Of her wooings there
was not single new idea for a pro-
posaI. It was therefore natural that
| by this strange method Of announce
ment Of mans love for her she
should be much moved. A pleasur-
able excitement stirred within her,
tingling to the tips of her fingers.
She followed with her eyes the disap-
Ipearing aeroplane and pictured man
fit to ride among the clouds looking
down upon those who were crawling
like worms on the earth
How godlike seemed this heavenly
wanderer compared with any of those
who had yet sought her love Sol
diers. sailors, men OF wealth, men Of
intellect men Of genius had been re-
jeeted by her, and though she did not
realize the cause of their failure to
win her, there was one fundamental
reason-none of them had wooed her
in way to strike her Imagination He
who had come nearest to success was
lone with who she was riding in an
automobile. Driving toward preci-
pice, he swore that if she would moi
love him both should go down to q
frieghtful deaht. She yielded, but wher
safe on terra firma awaited herself of Z
lwoman's privilege to change her mind
The aeronaut passed from her sigh
toward the setting sun, his airboa
rocking gracefully, like a bird, be
tween two clouds, at last plunginf
down behind another, as if going t.
his home in the blood red orb. Clasp
ing her hands and raising her eye,
still higher into the unhorizoned heay
ems. she exclaimed:
Was ever q Greek girl more honor
: ed by the wooing Of god than I b!
= this daring rover of the etherea
blue?'

the matter Of public buildings in rural
towns and expenditures upon unused
creeks and harbors.
Nothing Of this kind will suffice.
Money can be saved and ought 70 be
savea In ali log-roliing congressional
enterprises Hsuaiiy referred to as
pork" but no matter how drastic
such economies may he they will not
meet the requirements Of preparedness
as now advocated. The United States
is not a military empire and the pao-
pie are net welded tn CONSUMPTION.
! If we agree that self preservation re-
quiEea large increases in orr arma-
ment on land and sea, wealth and IN
dustry--the owners Of property-must
pay the price.
Senator James Hamilton Lewis, in
| his address to the real estate board
of Chicago the other day, made this
clear. He has no illusions on the sub
! ject Neither has Senator Underwood
of Alabama, who tells the representa-
lives OF the administration at Wash
iington that there is only one way to
meet the new Issue, and that IL By
increased taxation. The 100000, O9G
q year in excess of present arpropria-
tious, which 1t Ia purposed TO expend
on the army and navy, can be found
nowhere except in the pockets OF tbs
people.
Such financial considerations as
these are bound TO have a SOLDERING
effect upon many agitators. Those
who are hopeiessly crazy will not b.
affected, of course. but responsible
Americans who believe In reasonable
measures will limit their demands II
their willingness and their ability t.

edness as 1t will confront congress
? The cost is one side OF the question
that congress will have to meet, ant
, the people who have the ability Il
meet the cost will have to pay tn
: money required for the purpose. Pres
ident Wilson understands this and nj
program is 10 make preparedness 70
& defense so reasonable that it can b
, met without excessive taxation.
