TEMPERANCE MAKES GOOD
GAINS DURING PAST YEAR
American Temperance Board Makes Annual Re-
port to Convention of Churches of Christ =
Wonderful Showing for Money Spent.

best year Of the thirty the National
Benevolent Association of the Church
of Christ has been in existence was
the fiscal year just closed, according
to the annual report submitted to the
National Convention of the Church
here today.
The report called attention to a
new worlds record for low infant
mortality, saying, "Your institution
in Omaha, Nebraska, with an aver
age family Of thirty-five babies under
one year old, has broken the worlds
record for low mortality. Its record
for last year was three-quarters of
one per cent of deaths"
The report announced as its single
achievement, "the opening on April
II, 1916, of the Christian Church Hos
pital of Kansas City," While not a
part Of the Associations work." said
the report, "as are its other institu-
tions, this hospital was started, fos-
tered and made possible by officers Of
the Association"
The total receipts from all sources,
said the report, during the year were
$202, 1854, a gain over any previous
year of $66,573.75. The amount re-
ceived from churches showed gain
of $4,82S.OS; from Bible Schools $5,-
6l1.01; from Fees and Trust Funds
$6,310.72; from annuities $S,3OO.OO;
and from individuals $32,938.0O. The
pressure of the Associations finan-
cial need has not been entirely re-
lieved, however, because $56,2S7.O0 Of
the sum received was not available
for immediate use.

657, 1872 CATTLE DIPPED IN MIS-.
SISSIPPI DURING SEPTEMBER,

jackson, Miss, Oct. 14.-(Special)
Data just completed by the local Of
flee Of the U. s. Bureau of Animal In
dustry, Cos Millsaps Building, jack
son, Miss, indicates that total Of
67,4O7 herds and 657,592 cattle was
dipped in Mississippi during the
month of September. This is small
er number than was dipped during
the previous month owing to the fact
that a large number of cattle was
shipped from the territory engaged in
dipping to the free markets, and also
by number of cattle having been re-
leased from dipping, the process Of
eradicating the ticks having been
completed. 1t is probable that IL ad-
ditional counties will be released from
Federal quarantine at the close of this
year, a number Of these counties hav-
ing been engaged in the work of tick
eradication but one year, which is con-
elusive evidence that the work of tick
eradication can be accomplished in
one year provided all the cattle are
regularly dipped.
A total of $50 dipping vats have al
ready been constructed in the coun-
ties that will engage in the work of
tick eradication. under the statewide
law next year. Of these, 160 were
constructed during September, and
it is estimated that nearly every coun-
ty in the State will have completed
vat construction before the first of
the year.
