There VIII Be No Strike.

President Wilson has secured pledges
from the four brotherhoods represent
ing nearly half a million employees
that there will be no interruption Of
the transportation facilities Of the ma
tion through strikes for the duration
Of the war, thus putting at rest un-
easiness that has been felt since the
railroad workers announced that they
would have to be given a material ad-
vance In wages in order to meet the
increases In the cost OF living that
have occurred since the wage adjust
ments of three years ago.
The managers Of the railroads have
stated they will abide by any COM
pact reached through mediation by
the president, but with the under
standing that there will be assured
rate advances that will not only cover
the millions annually added TO the
pay rolls as q result OF the promised
wage raises, but also to meet the de-
flcits tli.t have occurred in the past
few years due to the growing cost of
operation The president expresses
sympathy with the demands OF the
employees that they have larger pay
envelopes. He says It is unfair "a
charge that the men are taking advan-
tage OF an acute situation in national
affairs to press excessive schedules
upon their employers. The president
has fortified himself with facts to sus-

A man in Kansas has invented d
new system whereby metal roots can
be used for teeth. 1t is expected that
he will open correspondence school.
SO that any family or private indi-
yidual can easily, with a little prac-
tice. have renewed teeth.
The process is very simple You
first remove, with an ordinary pair
OF forceps, the shop-worn tooth, which
has, so to speak, seen better days.
You then take gimlet and bore a
hole in the iaw-hone The metal root
is then quickly and deity inserted.
and at your leisure you can secure
any shade of tooth you desire and
screw it firmly onto the metal root
The inventor says that it is neces-
sary for the root to fit exactly into
the hole that has been made by the
instrument, and it is quite possible
that upon your first trial there might
be some slight discrepancy, but lit
tie scraping and filing will easily
make the juncture complete. All thai
then remains is for the jaw-bone tC
unite firmly around the metal tooth
! This takes, as a rule. about six weeks
1t iserecommended that you take your
annual vacation about this time, be
cause while the jawbone is uniting il

In case you should prefer havinj

resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty
God to remove from our midst our

CONGREGATIONAL.

On account Of the fact that we
broke into the study of the Book of
Acts last Sunday to pay special honor
and respect to the Motherhood of the
race, the pastor will preach next Sun
day morning on the topic announced
for week ago, namely-"Th Ascen-
sion Of Christ" Particular attention
will be given to the kind of authority
which the Master vested in the disci-
pies which He left behind Him. What
was this authority? Was it the
authority to make creeds which should
be binding upon all men? Was it the
right to set up some form of
Church polity, and to compel all men
to accept the result? Here is a very
interesting question, particularly in
the light of the fact that it has been
so sadly misinterpreted down the
pages Of history. ."
The Bible School has a place for
everybody, and you will be sincerely
welcome.
Come to the young peoples meet
ing, you will enjoy it. 1855

attention Of Princeton to the "Better
Babies Movement" which has swept
all over America. The first "Better

been of inestimable benefit. Every
body should hear the address next
Sunday evening. It is open to every
body irrespective of age or sex.

Methodist.

Next Sabbath morning at 1880 the

SO many, young people in particular
hesitate to take the membership vows
Of the church and league.
In the evening at 8 o'clock the Sec
ond patriotic service will be held
"Why England and Her Allies Fight
so Desperately" will be the subject
under consideration by the pastor, who
will attempt to show the difference
between democracy and autocracy, be-
tween Christianity and German kultur
and why failure Of the Allies would be
a calamity to the world.
Special music at both services will
be rendered.
The Sunday school will meet al

In Sicily, which is sixty feet across.
Mexican cypress and the oriental plane
have reached forty feet. This puts the
California big tree and the baobab in
the background, but the big tree is Of
greater bulk in combined height and
girtb, and the baobab is thickest in re-
lation to height.
