Church Is Crowded
to Hear Boy Preacher

The largest congregation for week
night service assembled last evening
at the First Congregational church.
Charles Forbes Taylor is some preacher
there is no doubt concerning that fact.
He is an exceptionally gifted speaker
and his sermons are well thought out.
They reveal q heen observer of human
nature and only one who is well read
could present the arguments and illus
trations which this strangely. gifted boy
presents night after night. Last night
he spoke on Instantaneous Conver-
sion" and in a burst of pure eloquence
he named man after man who had been
suddenly converted and who had done
great things for God. 1t is difficult in
deed to imagine that boy of II is
speaking.
: Tonight at 7:45 he will speak on the
subject "Bitten By the Serpent. Only
two more week night services and Sun
day will undoubtedly be the biggest day
in this successful series of meetings.
All church people and out of town peo-
pie who are expecting to hear this boy
on Sunday are most earnestly urged to
attend the morning and afternoon serv'
ices. Only one evening service will be
held and this service will begin as soon
as the church is filled The boy will
tell the story of his life on Monday ev-
ening and on Tuesday in company of
his father and mother will return to
their beautiful home in Pasadena. Hun
dreds who have studied this boy and his
methods since he came to Salem declare
they have never known of series Of re-
vival services so plain, simple, inspiring
and so free from any stock and objee-
tionable revival methods.

Compares Benefits
Under State Law With
Casually Companies

In statement issued yesterday the
State Industrial Accident Commission
compared in detail several of the bene-
fits to injured workmen and their de.
Pehdents under the state workmen 's
compensation law with the provisions
contained in the policies being offered
employers by some of the agents of
stock casualty companies.
10 those wholly dependent in fatal
cases the policies referred to provide
for go per cent of wages, maximum
$43.33 per month, limited to eight
years only, while the maximum under
the state law is $4,000 per month and
payments continue until children reach
10 years of age and to the widow dur
ing llfetlme, or until remarriage. If is
pointed out that of all the fatal cases
settied by the commission no widow
mad life expectancy as small as eight
years, number exceeded forty years.
and the average life expectancy of the
widows in all cases was slightly over
~ years, dependents thus being pro-
tected by the state law during period
TOUR times as great as provided in the
insurance policies.
While the state law also provides
$I00 burial expenses in all fatal cases,
the provisions in the policies of the
stock companies apply only where
there are no dependents. In other
words, widow with number Of small
children would be under the necessity
OF paying these expenses out of her
monthly payments.
Another provision under the state
law not found in the stock company
policies is that providing for lump
sum payment remarriage Of 10000
There is also great difference in pro
lection Offered to workmen who are
permanently totally disabled. as in
cases of loss of both legs, both arms,
broken back or other similar dis,
abilities. The State law provides for
such workmen and their wives during
their lifetime and their children until
10 years of age, while the policies of
the stock companies cut off the protec-
tion at the end of ten years, leaving
helpless workmen to be cared for by
their relatives or the state. OF all
cases of this kind coming under the
protection of the state law to date
the life expectancy of the injured men
averaged over 35 years.

THE MAGIC FLUID
Few drops and corns or calluses
loosen and lift off with
fingers. No paint

You simply apply a few
drops of freezone upon q
tender corn or painful cal
lus and instantly the sore
ness disappears, then short
ly you will find the corn
or callus so loose that you
can just lift it off with
the fingers.
No pain, not a bit of
soreness, either when ap-
plying freezone or after
wards and it doesn t even
