RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.

The following is from the New
York Telegraph, Oct. 5, 1915:
The Court of Appeals of the State
of New York has reversed the con-
viction of Willis Vernon Cole, who
dared to practice Christian Science
healing without taking out working
card from the doctors Union.
1t is remarkable that in this en-
lightened age, when there seems to
be steady advance in everything ex-
cept the elastic abstraction known as
medical ethics, man could rest for
four years under such an imputation.
The course adopted by those who
brought about his arrest and subse-
quent conviction was a denial of the
tenets of the Christian religion, a
protest against the efficacy of prayer,
And it is further remarkable that
the most turbulent objector to COM
petition from any source is an asso'
citation representing profession
that is experimental and must be un'
til the end of time, or until disease
is utterly banished by better modes
of living.

STAY ON THE FARM.

("E. c. d., Pike Co., Mo-, in st.
Louis Journal of Agriculture
Household Editor: IL you will al
low me a little space in your paper
would like to write few words of
encouragement to the woman who
has been left alone on the farm, es-
pecially those who have children.
l think there is no place like the
farm to raise children, and a woman
can manage a farm as well as a man
by seeking advice and getting good
reliable help. She can get along on
farm with less money, less worry
and better health, live happier, have
more friends and raise her children
better than in a city or town.
I would say to any woman that
owns farm and has been raised on
a farm and lived there all her life to
stay with the farm, for she will never
find as much contentment anywhere
else. And now, at the time when
there Ia such a great demand for poul-
try and eggs and the prive soaring
higher and higher, with two or three
hundred hens, few good cows, and
few pigs, she can get along nicely
have found that by using incuba
tors and brooders, one can get along
with fewer hens and less bother, ant
not so much extra work.
| Then with a good strawberry patel
and with some other small fruit, ant
all the vegetables, and whatever elst
the land will produce, think ANYONE
ran make a good living on a small
farm. either man or woman. But
am writing this for the benefit 0
some woman, for I know too well
man will never be advised by a wo
man, that is one useful lesson / hav
learned And there is another tina

to grasp, either-an ounce of com
mon sense is worth a ton of boo
