Gains Made Last Year Slightly
Smaller Than Those OF

Two out of every five persons in the
United States are members of some re-
ligious organization. OF the 100, 900, 900
inhabitants of the country 39,375,271
can be included as church members of
some sort. These are figures compiled
by the Year Book of the Federal Coun-
ell of Churches of Christ in America.
DR.. II. Is. Carroll. statistical expert of
the Council of Churches. is the man
who conducted the investigation.
The gains made in membership by
religious bodies throughout the year
showed slight falling off as compared
with the same period year ago. Last
years increase was 643,193. The year
before the increase was 1926. The
Roman Catholic population is given as
10, 900, with deduction OF 5 per
cent for children not old enough to be
counted as members.
discrepancy exists in the figures
given out for membership in the Lu-
theran Church as compared with the
Lutherans own figures. According to
the year book of the council, there
was loss of 0,70S members. On the
other hand, the Lutherans' own year
book reports a gain of 2,100 through
out the United States Protestant Sun
day schools throughout the country
have an enrolment of 16, 100000, with
100000 officers.
The results of the tabulation are as

EMBARGO ORDERS
EFFECTIVE HERE
Relief Will Come to Conges-
tons in Rutherford Yards;
Record Sunday

Officials of the Harrisburg division
of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail-
way, because of embargo removals,
look for further relief from freight
congestions at Rutherford and along
the division. 1t was said to-day that
several hundred cars of grain and
other freight, held upon orders, are
stored at Rutherford and along the
division. The movement of this
freight will keep the crews busy.
On Sunday the Rutherford yards
were well cleaned out of all freight
on which no embargo had been placed.
A total of 1000 cars were moved. on
the Reading division, 1900 cars were
handled, mostly anthracite coal. This
record movement, it is said, cleared
sldings for embargo freight which was
moved further east, and will enable
more prompt delivery to eastern
points.

MEAT WAS NECESSARY
FOR HIS BREAKFAST
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

Copyright, 1915, Star Company
Fifteen years ago a man noted for
his robust and handsome personality
continually offered to eye and ear
refutation of the theory that abstemi-
GUS and moderate diet was necessary
for the maintenance of nealth and good
looks. This man lived to eat.
Neat. fish, fowl and eggs were neces-
sary for his breakfast; four or five
courses at luncheon alone could satisfy
him, and most elaborate dinners must
be provided to appease his ever-in-
creasing appetite. Meanwhile he was
clear of brain, his skin was dazzling
and his body active. Then suddenly,
something like five years ago, there
came change. Rheumatism first, then
assesses, and to-day the man, who in
years should be in the very prime of
life, is a physical wreck, devoting half
OF every day to various cures and the
other half to his bed.
Cannot Realize He Poisoned His Sys-
tenn for Years With Unneces-
Sary Food
lie wonders why he has been so af-
hicted. He was not dissipated man,
nor man vicious morally, nor a man
who wasted his nights in riotous liv-
Ing. Now from his sick-bed he thinks
about his many virtues. and does not
relliZe that his misfortunes are en-
tirely due to having poisoned his sys-
them persistently for more than two
score of years by unnecessary foods in
unnecessary quantities
Another man, brilliant mentally, an
athlete physically, has for years argued
with all his friends who were inclined
to vegetarianism and to total absti-
nence that good red meat" and pure
