You re All Going to He'll,
Billy Sunday Tells Pastors

NEW YORK, April 27-Billy Sunday
preached the gospel, mot of hades, but
of h-e-l-l, plain old hell" to a
wildly enthusiastic bunch of gospel
fans" in old Calvary Baptist Church.
West Fifty-seventh street, this morn
ing.
He tore at the fastenings of high
priced New York pews and upbraided
the theory of evolution and all mod
ern PHILOSOPHERS breathed out by a
bunch Of professors over beer mugs il
Leipsic and Heidelberg
He told the ministers that for preach
ing such philosophers they are all 60
ing to slide into hell together and he
gave them a taste of the burning by
racing across the platform and ripping
cut a sizzling spit ball that landed
squarely in the teeth of the ministry.
Then he neatly tucked this thought on
the end of his demonstrations
You're going to hell for it; that's
what's going to happen to you. The
church is rank with the rottenest isms
and cisms that ever crawled out of the
pit of hell. I'm preaching the truth
and I'm radically orthodox. The aver
age preacher prays five minutes a day
and breaches a sermon that's a re-
print of the latest novel"
Billy tried to stop preaching after he
had been at 1t for nearly forty-fve
minutes and he turned to DIR. Charles
A. Eaton, asking "how much time have
| got?" and got the response from all
over the house, Go on, go on So
Billy went on, and when he preach
ed some more, his collar willing and
his face streaming with perspiratiofI,
he tried another getaway: Gotta quit
this preaching" he said Want to
get some lunch, and if | amt too tired
I'll go to the ball game-see the Phil
lies and Giants"
Go on, go on" was the cry again.
and Billy went back at it after ex-
claiming, with smile, well, l guess
I'll be too tired"
Billy took the preachers at their
word, and, to their increasing delight,
hit even a hotter pace He mimicked
the way New York churches received
a well-dressed sinner in fine clothes
and huge roll of bills. He seizel
one of the red plush pulpit chairs and
conversing affably with it, escorted it
to the front of the platform by the side
of the pulpit and asked his imaginary
rich man to sit down and be comfor-
table while the preachers roared.
'But if poor guy, weary Willie
panhandler, came along and wanted to
sit in one Of your pews, you'd say this
way" whereupon Billy seized the chair
and rushed it along the aisle to the
side door exit as though he was maxi
ing for home from second base on an
infeld single

Some time ago l began the use Of
your Swamp-Root with the most re-
markable results. For years I was al
most a wreck and was a great suf-
ferer. l was so bad at times l would
faint away and had sinking spells. FL
nally a new doctor was called in and
he said that / had kidney trouble and
gave me medicine, of which l took sew
eral bottles. l obtained some relief
from this but l was getting weaker
all the time; l could not sleep and
suffered so much pain that my hus-
band and children had to lift me in
and out of bed. After this time two
friends sent me word to try Swamp
Root, which l did, and l am glad to
state that the frs dose gave me
great relief. After taking the thirf
dose l was helped into bed and slept
half of the night.
l took several bottles of Swamp
Root and feel that I owe my life to
this wonderful remedy. The two fass,-
ily doctors said that l could not live
three months. l would have to be
helped in and out of bed ten to twenty
times every night. After taking DR..
Kilmers Swamp-Root for two days l
was entirely free from getting up and
could sleep soundly.

stead of the orthodox round dish pan"
An ordinary tin can with hole
punched in the bottom as soap saver,
in place of the bought wire ones?
Washing the kitchen floor, the sur
base and the framework about the
sink with I've, at the first appearance
of those pests, water bugs or reaches?
Be sure to apply the solution with a
brush and don't let it touch the hands.
Putting lump of washing soda over
the sink drain and pouring hot water
over it after each dish washing in or
der to keep the pipes from clogging?
This will save many a plumbers bill.
Scalding out tin strip cans (the
sort that have fitted tops) and using
them to keep such things as rice, bar
ley, hominy, beans, ETC.?
Drying stale scraps of bread in the
oven, MASKING them to meal with a
rolling pin, and using them in place
of the prepared cracker dust for fry
ing outlets, oysters and the like?
Saving the bits of sage, thyme, ETC.,
in the penny potherb that was not
used in soups, drying them and using
them later in the stuffing for chicken?
Some economical housewives find that
by careful selection of these potherbs
they can get enough parsley for gar
nishing of several dishes, and usually
the smallest punches of parsley alone
sold in the markets cost from three
to five cents.
Using evaporated fruits--apples
peaches, apricots-in place of the fresh
ones for duff. dumplings, pies and
brown Betty?
Flavoring deviled eggs with dash
Of vinegar from sweet pickles and u.s.
ing olive oil instead Of butter? A tiny
pickled cucumber chopped fine and
mixed with the yolk of the egg is an
improvement.
Varying fried or broiled halibut
steak by adding a rich brown gravy?
The flour must be very brown (not
Scorched) for this and goodly lump
of butter is required. And by the way,
when browning -four for gravy do it
under the fame of the gas oven, using
a fork to mix it. Fork-mixed thicken-
ing is apt to be smoother than spoon
mixed.

sausage, and this is made by Dreaming

start to pour, as this is all the cooking
the eggs require. Lastly, add pepper

WATERED SECURITIES
BY Peter Radford.

Much has been said and more writ
ten about the evils of watered stock in
big business concerns and the farm
ers of this nation believe that every
dollar written into the life of any
business organization, should be able
to say 81 know that my Redeemer
liveth," but farming is the biggest
business on earth, and there is more
water in it's financial transaction than
that of any other industry. There IS
as much water in a farmers note
drawing eight or ten per cent interest
when other lines Of industry secure
money for four or five per cent per
annum, as there is in busin -ss pay
ing a reasonable compensation upon
the face value of securities repre-
senting an investment of only fifty
cents on the dollar. The only diff
ference is, the water is in the interest
rate in one instance and in the secur-
tiles in the other.
The promoter ofttimes takes chances
and his success is contingent upon
the development of the property in
volved but the usurer, as a rule, takes
no chances and his success cripples
the property involved. There may be
industries that cry louder but none
that suffer more severely from finan-
cial immortality in both law and GUS
tom than that of agriculture.
The farmers of America today are
paying $200,000,000 per annum in
usury on real estate and chattel
loans, and this interest capitalized
at five per cent, represents $4,O06,O0O,-
900 of fictitious values which the farm
er is paying interest on. This sum OF
money is almost equal to the annual
value of crops produced in the United
States.
The earning power Of the farmers
note based upon his interest rate very
nearly divides likes the earth's sur
face-three-fourths water and one
fourth land. The largest body of wa
ter that floats upon the financial hem
isphere now rests upon the farms
and it's waves are dashing and It's
pillows are rolling against seven mil
lion homes threatening ruin and dis
aster to the prosperity of the nation.
Will our public servants who under
stand how to drain the liquid off in
dustrial properties turn the faucet and
let the water off the farms?

With eggs so high it is an added
expense to use two or so in a batter
merely to fry foods in.
If you do not wish to use an egg
when frying oysters in deep fat make
a batter of flour and cream, adding
salt, pepper and a pinch of baking
powder. Dip the oysters in this, then
IN fine cracker dust, again in batter,
in dust and fry them in deep fat.
The oysters seem even more tender
than when cooked in the usual egg
batter. This can be used in frying
croquettes, chops and other foods
which require a batter.
