II then becomes easy to understand
the immense significance Of the words

not by dOctoring the matter body
with drugs nor through reliance upon
dead ceremonies or blind unreasoning
faith. but through the regeneration
OF the human mind.
Is that not precisely what st. Paul
meant when he said. "Be ye trans
formed by the renewing of youT
mind" Can there be any other way
for suffering men and women to be
liberated from evil conditions and
transformed into state Of peace and
harmony except through the conscious
evangelization and regeneration Of the
human mind?
Mrs. Eddy.
Some day all mankind will recog'
niZe the unreasonable service that
Mrs. Eddy has rendered to humanity
by her discovery of Christian Scienc"
and the establishment OF the Chris
tian Science movement. Through her
teaching she has elevated religious
understanding from q theoretical to
a practical basis. She has taught the
world that ii Is the mission OF religion
to heal people of sickness. sorrow, I'M
happiness and fear, as we'll as to de-
stroy sin. and has 30 clearly defined
the process by means Of which these
results may be accomplished as to
make 1t possible for every one to prove
1t for himself and thereby to heat
himself and others Christian Science
is applied Christianity just as truly
as engineering is applied mathematics.
There is no mystery about 1t. and
when one does his work correctly, ac-
cording to its rule. healing and regen-
Grafton must follow.
Out of the amplitude Of her own
spiritual understanding, Mrs. Eddy
has translated into human language
the truth about God and man, and
their relationship; has revealed per-.
feet divine principle that governs
mankind, and has proved that the
truth taught by Jesus is scientific, and
may he demonstrated today as Of old
to deliver the SHINING, sorrowing and
suffering from their oppressors, to set
all mankind free from bondage to evil
and to establish the kingdom of God
on earth.

HARRISBURG. March 4.-The
state health commissioner, Samuel
G. Dixon, in his weekly talk on
health and hygiene" dwells on
Study Your Municipalities" He
shows how one mans meat is another
mans poison. although both men may
be physically fit and apparently the
same SO far as general health is con-
ccrned. Doctor Dixon says:
Engineers will tell you that no
two locomotives are ever exactly
alike. They may be turned out to
an eXnctness that deGes the most
modern instrument for measuring
or weight to show any differences.
Put into service. each machine will
develop individual characteristics,

pose. The same unknown quantity

set we are created after the same
model, but owing to dissImtlar nerve
forces or the life OF our tissues, each
individual has certain differences
and some have real idiocyncrasles.
There are broad rules of nature
relating to our physical welfare
which we cannot transgress without
evil results. Likewise there are GER
tain things which the majority OF us
can do without putting any unusual
strain on our physique. but here be-
gins the question OF the adjustment
of the individual piece OF machinery.
We must study our physical limita-
tions and find out just what scope
we have. Because one man can live
or almost exist on IN exclusive meat
diet, 1t is no reason why. the next
fellow can. Men and women often
ruin their health by trying to do
things simply because others do
them. Each should get his own
measure.
The question OF age must enter
into consideration. 1t IL well to
bear in mind that exertion which
does not seem strain at one period
in life, may be dangerous in later
years.
THE same principles apply IN mat
tiers of diet. There are foodstuffs
wholesome enough to the average
individual, which seem to have a
deleterious effect on the few.
I'VE must measure our individual
characteristics and avoid those things
that do not agree with US.
All Of these things should be OBJ
served and taken into consideration.
They are the results OF weaknesses
or peculIarities In our living ma
chinery and to reach and maintain
efficiency, they must be recognized
and respected"

LEWISTOWN, Idaho. Mar. A.
When u. a. Johnson saw the need OF
an eleven mile railroad connecting
the Neg Perce prairie lands OF Idaho
with the steamer lines on the Snake
and Columbia rivers. he did very
natural thing, as they do things in
Idaho. He looked around for
financial help. since he was plain,
ordinary citizen not over-burdened
with n bank balance, and getting
none. decided to build the road all
by himseIf--and did it! That's why
they call him the Jim Hill Of Ida

Having more nerve than money
Johnson cheerfully faced the discour-
agements dumped on his shoulders.
lie laughed openly at bankers and
big busIness-buiders who belittled
his enterprise.
But Johnson never lost faith. He
proved 1t by selling his Nez Perez
mills, and putting the proceeds into
grading the roadbed. Then he dis
posed of small light and power
company he owned, and the money
went into rails and ties aud men to
knit them together. II 1t took nerve
toNdo this, 1t took more nerve to hold
on. For the blows came thick and
fast.
Banks Refuse His Notes.
The banks refused his notes. His
friends turned their backs to him.
Finally he wrote to financial insti-
tuition in the East, and asked them to
caustic reply:
I'VE want nothing to do with a
road that starts nowhere and ends
no better"
Undaunted. johnson tried his far
mer friends again. This time they
saw the proposition through his eyes
and took his notes for $4,000. This
was the precursor of better things
to come. The clouds had already be-
gun 10 scatter. They scattered al

road was not get ballasted, and could

but when wheat goes to dollar
things move regardless of hallusted
roads. or anything OF human fac
tor kind.
Extend Him Glad Hand.
1t was not long after this that the
people In the Nez Perez prairie lands
extended the glad hand to Johnson.
They realized that his eleven-mile
railroad with fourteen-mile Sec
tinn with which 1t connects. Is highly
important 10 the industrial growth
OF central Idaho. and Is designed to
act as feeder for the Columbia
Observation-Disclosures steamer
lines.
They saw that they could reach
the Snake river. the Columbia. the
Pacific and Atlantic oceans. London.
Liverpool-in fact. that the world
was theirs solely to dump wheat in
and that Johnson had given 1t to
them.
But Johnson isn't satisGed-even
with such title. He wants to extend
his cleven-mile branch to Waha at a
cost OF $4,000. Near Waha arc
the great wheat fields OF Tamanny.
Although he hasn't dollar to build
further, he says the new link will be
finished very soon now. And no one
dares to tell him he can't do 1t.

THE AUTO ON THE FARM

now on the market the farmers auto
mobile can not only be used as a so
luton of some of the rural trans
portation problems, but also as use

points out F. A. Writ, instructor in
farm mechanics in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
"The purchase of trailer makes
possible the transporting of milk
| cream, garden truck, and even chick
ems to market" says Mr.. Writ. "The
trailers, which are of various de-
signs, are manufactured by more
than a dozen companies. The en-
CINE of the average automobile is
seldom worked to capacity and conse-
quently there is plenty of tractive
power to take care of the light trail
err"
Attachments are now being manu-
featured, at low price, which will
transform several of the more popu-
lar makes of cars into power plants.
A series of gears and shafting has
been devised which operates a pulley
on the front of the car, and makes
1t possible to turn farm machinery.
One of the smaller cars most pop
ular on the market will develop about
~ horse power on the brake, and is
consequently more than strong
enough for the average work re-
quired of a farm engine. Most farm
ers use a gas engine of five or six
horse power.
1t is not economical to use a 12-
horse power engine for furnishing
power to a washing machine or a
pump. 1t is best to have a system
of shafting which can be arranged
to drive several pieces of machinery
simultaneously. Corn shelters, feed
grinders, tanning mills, and other
small pieces Of farm machinery can
be connected with the system of
shafting
''If there is small electric power
plant with storage batteries on the
farm the automobile engine can be
made effective in charging the bat
teries at times when the car is not
in other use," says Mr.. Writ, "but it
would not be economical to use the

Liberal has this year had the worst
epidemic of typhoid fever in its his
tory. The doctors are kept on the
jump almost day and night looking
after patients who are suffering from
that disease, and, thanks to their
skill and the prompt use of typhoid
vaccine in each case, there have been
no deaths from that cause. A little
closer attention to the removal of
breeding places of flies and better
sanitary conditions around the home,
barns and outbuildings on the part
of our citizens would go a long way
towards preventing repetition of
the epidemic next year.
