Streets Are Kept Cleaner.

In his report last night DR.. Ames
commented upon the Improvement seen
recently. and said that perhaps it is
due to the saving of old newspapers by
the school children of the city, and to
the conservation of wrapping paper by
the merchants. He pointed out that a
lessened US OF wrapping paper would
be thus saving to merchants and in
directly be of sanitary value.
The resolution, adopted called
upon the association to appoint a COM
mittee to investigate the increase in
the use of wrapping paper, the eco
nomic waste involved and the expense
to the consumer. and authorized the

THE TWO KINGDOMS.

Each man a kingdom may possess;
May play the monarch's role;
And his the kingdom is no less
Than that of mind and soul;
Each man, of course, must make his
own,
And therein must live, too,
And my his kingdom he is known
What kind, good sir, have you?
A poor mans kingdom rich may be;
A rich mans kingdom, poor;
And even through eternity
Some kingdoms may endure;
Their subjects are kind acts and
Deeds,
Good words, and heart-thoughts
What monarch better subjects needs?
What kind, good sir, have you?
Some kingdoms which more POM
pous are,
And full of brazen show,
Are emptier and poorer far
Than those that kindness know!
At last to dead sea fruit they turn;
Become as bitter rue,
Dead ashes in the funeral urn
What kind, good sir, have you?

TO MAKE BOOTLEINiING

Representative Lees bill, which
he is going to introduce in the House
this week to make bootlegging a fell
ony for the second offense, is a right
eous measure which should appeal
to every citizen who iavors the en-
forcement of law. A bill of similar
character passed the Lower House
of the last Legislature and would
have passed the Senate IL 1t had come
TO a vote. The character of people
who are setting at defnance the
prohibition law adopted by vote Of
the people, by bootlegging whiskey
are, generally speaking, the offscour-
ings of creation. They are entirely
destitute of both morals and char
acter. They are as a rule worthless,
trifiing scoundrels who are too lazy
to work and exc out an existence by
peddling whiskey in the alleys and
the dark corners of the towns. and
their customers, as d rule, are
pretty low class of people. Sendint

when you are languid and list

melancholy that life seems scarcely

necessary that you take treatment to
correct these sub-normal conditions,
because you are suffering from de-
rangements of a vital organ" de-
clares one of the greatest medical
authorities.
That tired feeling" means a
good deal more than is generally re-
allied. 1t is not laziness; it is a phys
ical ailment that needs correction
quickly before it becomes even more
serious by taking a firm hold on
you.

sion. 1t is your duty.

WHAT THE RAILROAD
REPORTS ARE TELLING

Only one railroad, an unimpor-
tant one, reported a decrease in
either gross or net earnings for last
November as compared with Novem-
Der, 1914. SOME of the most i'm
portant ones, including the Pennsyl-
vania and New York Central, more
than doubled their net receipts. De-
cember promises to make an even
better showing. AS far as reported,
the gross receipts of the railroads
were one-third greater than in De-
cember, 1914, when there was hea-
Wy movement of grain.
This season the farmers have sold
wheat freely at remunerative prices.
In the Northwest and-the Canadian
provinces the movement has been
very heavy, as railroad and elevator
reports show In 1914 spring wheat
did not turn out we'll, though WIN
ter wheat was better than ever
These early deliveries in the spring
wheat States and Provinces are re-
fiected in the increased earnings of
the three Canadian railroads, and in
the Northwestern group on this side
of the line. The farmers have mon
ey to spend all over the country.
and this makes the westward move
ment of merchandise almost as hea-
Wy as the eastward flow of commodi-
ties. '-'
Railroad reports tell the story of
business that has been done. Pro-
duction of staple merchandise has
not kept pace with consumption, and
prices are rising while wages are 60
ing up. The Census Bureaus re-
ports on domestic consumption OF,
cotton prove that the cotton mills
are buster than ever, though an &C.
casional wall is heard in New Eng
land. If that section was not pros
porous and doing business at the old
stand the New Haven Railroad would
not be congested with freight and
forced to declare an embargo on
some shipments. In that also rail-
road reports tell the story of bust
ness conditions. -[New York Com

Tithing the Solution.

If every member of every congre-
CATION in the majority of the larger
cities of our country were to decide
to abide by old law and give one
tenth of their income, in twelve
months there would be no such thing
as a church debt or a missionary
deficit, or an unanswered appeal for
charity, or unpaid church bill, or an
over-worked preacher, or neglected
widow and orphans in all OF the
broad land. And it is more than
probable that in one more year the
churches would have to begin to
lengthen their cords and strengthen
their stakes in order to make right
and true use of the resources at
their command, and all this wonder

about by christian men and women

THE KOREAN REuG|0N
A VERY TRAGIC joke
Many Spirits Worshipped In Va.
rious Ways, But None
In Truth.

Korea may well be classed with
Athens as a land with many gods,
says Missionary l.. T. Newland OF
the Southern Presbyterian Church.
And the Koreans. like the old Athe-
mans, ignorantly worship the I'm
known God" for they have a dim
knowledge of a supreme being who
created all things, who gives the
rains and the harvests. But, like
the deists, they claim he made all
things and then gave over the run
ming of affairs to various spirits,
who must be worshipped and pla-
Gated. Especially is this true of the
malign spirits who are constantly
interfering with and opposing, the
work of the good spirits Therefore
the Korean argues that the good
ones will help anyway because they
are good, and that you need only
bride the various forms Of malisn
devils to gain a great victory. AS a
result. their worship consists in the
main of an entire neglect of the one
and many sacrifices to the others
But have found in the little
time that | have been here that the
Korean has no deep-rooted religion
of any sort, but is as changeable as
the surface of the sea. If man
worships beneath a certain tree and
then has a son born in his house, the
whole village will flock to that spot
until another villager finds that a
certain rock is lavish with blessings,
and then the tree is deserted and the
rock is the popular idol for a season.
Their worshippers will not be put off
with promises. To speak in the ver-
nacular, the spirit must deliver the
goods, to be popular. So it is not
uncommon for man to go the
rounds of ancestor worship, emper-
or worship, mountain spirits, tree
spirits, the elements, devil posts and
Buddhism, to make sure of his bless
ing. In fact, | do not believe you
can put your finger on any one re-
ligion and say that it is peculiar to
Korea. The people mix them all up
and give them all chance. They
are polytheists with a vengeance.
THE truth is, the Korean is of
such u happy-go-lucky disposition
that he does no worsniping of any
particular sort except on stated |
occasion or in times of need or dan
ger. One man puts out a dish Of
rice for the mountain spirit and the
next hungry man that comes along
eats it. They put small pieces of
money in straw manikins and these
are put out along fields or in front
of the houses as a gift to the spir-
it's, but when their backs are turned
the proverbial small boy slips up
and steals it, Their religion is such |
a mixture and held with so little
seriousness as to be joke, were
their condition not so tragic"
