Science Lecture
Last Sunday Afternoon

a BELL, a member Of the Board
Of L~ectureship Of The Mother Church.
The First Church Of Christ, Scientist,
in Boston, Mass, delivered d lecture
in the First Church of Christ, Scientist
in this city, last Sunday afternoon, in
the presence of a large audience.
h lecturer was introduced by j.
2. earle in a few well chosen words.
Mr.. Bells lecture is epitomized in the
following condensation:
The healing Of disease:is incidental
to and not the prime doctrine of Chris
tian Science practice. But because
this IL not generally recognized out.
side the Christian Science ranks, and
becauseNthe healings do constitute
Important proof Of the correctness of
its teachings, 1t is pertinent to refer
briefly to some of the evidence that
Christian Science does heal disease.
The extraordinary growth of the
movement is in itself an impressive
testimonial to the efficacy Of its heal
ing. Although the first Christian
Science church was established only
forty years ago, there are today
more than sixteen hundred such bod
les IN various parts Of the world.
While the largest numerical represent
tation is in the United States, where
Christian Science had its beginning,
it's churches are to be found quite
numerously in England, Canada, and
Germany. and they are to be found
also in France, Ireland, Scotland,
Wales, Switzerland, South Africa, Aus
%tralia, New Zealand, China, the Phil
ippiness Argentina, Mexico, Panama,
the West Indies. and Bermuda. From
virtually every quarter come reports
of continuing and substantial growth
-corroboratiye evidence of which is
found in the fact that the. demand for
the authorized literature is increas-
ing 80 rapidly as to tax the constant
ly charging publication facilities.
In ten years past the number of
Christian Science organizations in
creased seventy per cent. The ac-
tual net gain in numbers or organi-
cations was 667, or an average of a
little better than one per week
throughout the ten veal period. The
fact that the net increase last year
was sixty-iye organizations shows
the rate of increase is being we'll
maintained. In the ten years refer
erd to, the membership of the
Mother Church, the parent %organiza-
ton Of the movement, has increased
one hundred and sixteen per cent, and
at the latest annual meeting OF the
Mother Church the report of the clerk
showed that the number of new mem
bers received at that time was the
largest in the history Of the Church.
These data are cited because of
their significance in the light Of the
fact that this movement, which in SO
brief a period has becom1 world
wide, has been recruited largely from
among those who turned to it for
healing. The proposition Of Christian
| Science from its beginning has been
to all men, as it is to you, that moth
ing need be accepted with regard to

Ordinary Nuxated Iron Will Make Del
icate, Nervous, Rundown People
200 Per Cent. Stronger in Two
Weeks Time in Many Cases.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Most people
foolishly seem to think they are going
to get renewed health and strength
from some stimulating medicine, Sc
cret nostrum or narcotic drug, said
DIR. Sauer, a well-known Specialist who
has studied widely both in this coun-
try and Europe, when, as matter
of fact, real and true strength can only
come from the food you eat. But peo-
pie often fail to get the strength out
of their food because they haven't
enough iron in their blood to enable
it to change food into living matter.
From their weakened, nervous condi-
ton they know something is wrong
but they can't tell what, so they gener-
ally commence doctoring for stomach,
liver or kidney trouble or symptoms
of some other ailment caused by the
lack of iron in the blood. This thing
may go on for years, while the patient
suffers untold agony. If you are not
strong or well, you owe it to yourself
to make the following test: See how
long you can work or how far you can
walk without becoming tired. Next
take two five-grain tablets of ordinary
nuxated iron three times per day after
meals for two weeks. Then test your
strength again and see for yourself
how much you have gained. / have

pie who were ailing all the while,

right among the fanatics. have
learned to keep q score card al
ready"
Aud such were actually the facts.
To solve the riddle of the customs
frauds Agent Gard was working hard
at the task of becoming a baseball
fan.
Two weeks he had devoted to the
docks. During the first of these weeks
he had gone from wharf to wharf and
from man to man. He had asked
many questions which were but the
commonplaces that any individual
who wanted to get smattering of the
detail of such a business would have
asked. He was received tolerantly
by the old heads of the customs crowd.
Many agents had been to the docks
ahead of him and most of these had
been experts. If they began to get
dangerous, political influence was used
in having them pulled off the job or
money was used in having them fail
to report any wrongdoing. But this
youngster who did not know the SIM
plest things about the customs service
he was hardly worthy of notice.
But during that week Gard had not
expected to become a customs expert.
His plan for getting results was
founded on a different idea. He had
been hunting for man who suited
the purpose of his plan, and had found
him. This man was an Irishman by
the name of O'Toole, who was one of
the weighers at certain dock in
Brooklyn. He had in the back of his
head all the facts that the special
agent lacked. If he could be induced
to cooperate, the case might be
worked out.
O'Toole was man of fifty, and had
Gard had learned many things about
him. He had no family, his great en-.
thusiasm was baseball, and his weak
ness was certainty of going to the
mat with John Barleycorn every third
Saturday night. He was lonesome
man, and sour and cynical.
How long have you been on this
investigation" O'Toole asked Gard
before the conversation had gone
far.
Just this week." said the special
agent.
Have you found anything?' asked
the weigher.
mot yet" said the special agent.
well, If you want your job to
last, DON'T" said the Irishman.
They discussed the general points
in the business of weighing cafgoes
and the work of the force having
it in charge. But the special agent
had gathered the idea that O'Toole
was not in sympathy with conditions,
that he was not a member Of the in
ner circle. Yet an intelligent man
serving as weigher for eleven years
would know secrets that would be of
interest to the government and
O'Toole was embittered. He should
be cultivated.
The days of the following week the
special agent spent about the docks
dressed as rough laboring man. The

ord of the weighing Of given half
day. This could afterward be COM
pared with the figures of the weigher.
A pretty close check could thus be
put on the given suspects.
BY such methods fairly clear cases
were obtained against given weighers
and checkers. After much information
was gathered certain guilty men would
be selected who would be given
chances to tell all about their knowl-
edge of the frauds. These men would
be given immunity. Thus would few
of the guilty escape punishment; but
thus, also, would the government learn
all the details of the frauds that 1t
might be able to provide effectually
against them.
Special agents were set to watch
every suspect. to learn his manner OF
life, how he spent his money. whether
he could be trapped on the outside.
When the government needed TIE con-
fession of a given man he would be
called upon and talked to in some such
manner as this:
"You, as checker, worked with
Weigher Smith on given cargo. The
weights shown by the scales Smith
divided by two and you passed them.
That night messenger was sent to
Costello with statement Of the short
weight you had passed. Costello paid
half tho duty on this short weight. You
and the weigher split on the basis OF
forty, sixty.
1--WE know of a score of ofrenses
equally glaring on your part. The
government needs you as witness.
Under the circumstances do you not
think it would be advisable for you to
90 without me to the district attorney
and make a complete statement Of all
you know about custome frauds?"
The man that tho government
wanted usually camo through with all
he knew. So were the cases made
absolute and so were all the methods
of graft revealed. Eleven weiehcrs
and checkers were convicted and sent
to the penitentiary. Many hundreds
of thousands of dollars in duties that
had been avoided zero assessed
against and paid by Importers. The
government was lenieI:t With most OF
these because of it's chagri2 over the
part played by it's representatives and
because the initiative In the oEcnCing
had usually been taken by govern
ment agents.
Altogether the cleaning up Of tho
customs scandals in the port OF New
York was a most complicated task

nights he spent in nearby saloons
with the acquaintances he had made
during the day. The idea in this was
to determine what information the
laborers were able to pick up and
whether they could be used as inform

well aware OF what was going on.
