CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
CHURCH DEDICATED

The FIRST Church of Christ Seien
tist was dedicated last Sunday. This
beautiful little ediIice has been built
for several years, but the dedica'
I ton was deferred until the building
was fully paid for. The house was
packed to its seating capacity, not
only by members OF this organiza-
tion, but by many friends who gath
"red to witness the services. First
reader, Mrs. A. B. Moss, Jr.; second
reader, Mrs. A W. Roning, soloist
for this occasion Miss Sartoris, and
A1rs. W. F. Sherwood, was on the
platform. The services were simple,
yet very impressive, which opened
with a hymn, followed by the SER
mon lesson read by both first and
second raiders, a beautiful solo,
The Lord is My Shepherd" was
rendered by Miss Satoris. The
history of the church was read by
Mrs Sherwood, which was in part
as follows. In the spring OF 1903
FAMILY from the east took up their
residence in Payette and hoped to
lind ohters who believed in Chris
tian Science, when in a short time
they received in the mail a Chris
tian Science Sentinel with the name
and address not their own. The gen
tleman opened the mail on the way
home, and a boy who had climbed
into the wagon to ride remarked ON
seeing the Sentinel that it was re-
ceived in his home and that he
knew a neighbor who was a Chris
tian Scientist, through this Incl
dent these families were brought tcI
gether, and in the fall two others
were added Then it was
decided to organize a Christian Sci
encG society and ho,d srFiccs which
was done by occupying a room on
the upper floor of the Creighton built
ing, then a room on the ground flooI
was secredd at the rear OF the old
Commercial Hotel. As the atten-
dance and interest grew, the mem
Oers wished to build a place of
heir own and a building fund was !
started One member gave the |
sight and another donated
he necessary brick, and by liberal |
offerings a church hcme was soon /
The articles of in
was obtained in April,
907, and on September Of that
ear, the corner stone was laid.
The little band of members having
church home of their own, labor
d faithfully on in the cause of
;hrist, until their membership has
rown to a goodly number.
The Christian Science people prac.
ice what they preach, no harm is
aid OF any one and by so doing
armony and peace prevails among
hem 1t is their desire through
he activities Of this Church to give
ut an ever increasing number the
ealing truth as taught by Mrs.

ANIMAL DISEASES.

| At this season of the year various
| era, blackleg, etc, take heavy toll
animal diseases such as hog chol-
toll of valuable animals uness sani'
tation and care has been taken to
prevent such death losses.
Last week two or three cases OF
blackleg were reported and more
cases may follow unless means of
prevention are taken In the or
chard Aveune District Mr.. R. H.
Woods is chairman of the Farm
Bureau. Mr.. Woods promptly ar
ranged to have all Farm Bureau mem
bers notified and the District Ag-
riculturist went out Saturday fore
noon ard vaccinated A calves
rival of more vaccine other calves
North Of town were treated on We'd
nesday OF this week.
The chairmen OF blackleg control
for the Farm Bureau are as
follows: Orchard Avenue, R. h.
Woods; Washoe, A. A. Stroup;
Big Willow, P. E. Miller; District
No. 6, C. F. Asmussen; Fruitland,
l.. R Boomer; New Plymouth, J. w.
Ly 1ch; Whitley Bottom, Jas. H.
Boor.
The symptoms of blackleg are
as follows: genreal dullness, stiff
ness, prostration and loss of appe-
tite. Lameness is prominent
symptom. The naimal may show a
swelling in the regions of the shoul-
ders and hindquarters or on other
parts of the body. The swelling
is very hot and painful at first but
if the animal lives for a time
(they often die in few hours) it
becomes less tender, crackles when
pressed on and the skin may feel
cold and leathery. Fever is con
stant symptom. In the highly
acute form of the disease nervous
symptoms, such as commissions and
coma occur.
The tissue changes in the region
of the swelling are characteristic. |
An incision into the swelling shows
a bloody dark exudate and the sur
face of the muscular tissue is dark. !
Frothy, bloody liquid escapes from
the mouth, nose and anus.
Cattle that die of black leg should
be cremated. This should be done ,
At the spot where the animal dies.
If the carcass is moved or opened
he ground should be thoroughly |,
wet with a four per cent solution
Of cresol disinfectant and covered
with quicklime.
Vaccination.
Vaccination of the exposed or
animals should be prac-
iced. On farms where the disease
exists il may be necessary to vac
,inate the young cattle 0ess than
.wo years of age) once or twice
every year to prevent the dis
ease. Medical treatment is unsatis- 4
quoted from Craig's Com
non Diseases of Farm Animals.
Ii you are a member Of the
Farm Bureau get in touch with your
chairman at once and have him
arrange schedule so that your
calves may be vaccinated.
