MUST DEFEND ITSELF.
Hammond Denounces Opponents OF
Full Military Preparedness.

New York, May 1S.-John Hays
Hammond denounced opponents of
full military preparedness at the din
ner of the National Association of
Manufacturers in the Waldorf
Wednesday night. He said prepared :
ness was the most important of the
out that in the present state of in
ternational politics, the only safe
guard a nation has is it's own power
to defend itself against foreign ag-
erosion. ---.r--
Charles Nagel. once secretary of
commerce and labor, made a plea for
preparedness in commerce and indus
try, so that the country might be able
to cope with competition after the
war.

RAIN HEADED THIS WAY


Continued from Page One.J

ing was 46 degrees at O'Clock. The
mercury did not rise so rapidly as 1t

in the southeast. The highest I'm

The Kaw river this morning showed
a stage of 81 feet, fall of two feet
since Wednesday morning. The stream
will continue to fall unless some heavy
rains occur along the Kaw valley.
The forecast calls for showers to-
night and probably Friday with slow
ly rising temperature.
Showers have fallen over the great
er part of southern Kansas in the past
"a hours, but there has been very lit
tie rain in the northern part of the
state. The sky was mostly cloudy this
morning except in the eastern portion
of the state. Temperatures continue

men. Here are some of the ideas adj
vocated by New Thought followers:
That disease is of mental origin
instead of material.
That right thinking brings health to
the body and prosperity to ones af-
fairs.
That right thoughts about ones self
will heal perverted appetiteS like
drunkenness and sinful living.
That knowledge can conquer death.
That God love in the heart will de-
stroy all enmity on the part of people
and other creatures.
That there is no limit to thought
and its power, except what thought
puts upon itself.
All Healing Good.
New Though. does not condemn any
form of healing, metaphysical or ply
steal, but regards them all as good. Its
advocates declare that they realize
that physicians and drugs are neces-
sary to many lives at the present stage
the race unfolds, all external aids will
be discarded, and eventually it will
be universally realized that all heal
ing comes from within and not from
without
Healing through New Thought was
demonstrated at noon by Mrs Grace
NJ Brown of Denver. In the
morning "a reception will be
held in Representative hall. Mrs.
Ida Hardy of Topeka presided
at the afternoon program which
opened by a song by the audience,
Onward Souls Eternal" A. B. Brown
will deliver the invocation followed by
the Silence by A B. Smith. Judge
John S. Dawson will deliver the ad-
dress of welcome and A. B. Smith will
respond. Music will be furnished by
Mrs. Lillian Doing.
Vernon Hendry, vice president of
the KanSaS-Oklahoma district, will
speak on THE Message of Truth
followed by an address by Mrs. Grace
NJ. Brown on 1.-THE Inner Breath
Austin Ripley will then give a dra-
matte reading on 1.-THE Soul of the
Violin" Closing affirmations will be
given by DR.. Perry Joseph Green OF
Portland, Oregon An equally inter-
esting program will be given Friday.
