HIGHEST PRICES
EVER KNOWN ARE
PREVAILING NOW

The present retail prices of foods
are a serious proposition for the aver
age wage Garner, whose pay has not
increased with the same strides that
the cost of foods has risen. Meats, es-
pecially, have taken an alarming ad-
vance and if the rise continues will be
prOhibitive to many people who are
used to a meat diet daily. But with the
dropping of meat as diet where will
one turn. Cheese and eggs have ad-
vanced to an almost prohibitive price,
while breadstuffs are also on the top
shelf. Just take a look at the follow
ing retail prices right here in Water
town:

amount they desire from dollars to
pennies.
Membership cards may be secured
of F. P. McAdams at the Wisconsin
National Bank, but there will also be
a solicitation committee in the field
from whom they may be secured. Wa
tertown must furnish it's share of Red
Cross supplies to carry on the relief
work, and this is one method which
should be popular.

nuuImenUaI DIVINE science" the
smallest part Of Christian Science. 1t
is only the bugle call to thought and
action, in the higher range Of infinite
goodness. The emphatic purpose Of
Christian Science is the healing Of sin;
and this task sometimes, may be hard
er than the cure Of disease; because,
while mOrtals love to sin, they do not
love to be sick"
Even in the use Of mental suggestion,
to which the medical profession has
given some study and for which it has
made broad claims, the mind which is
exploited is simply the human or NOR
tai mind, and the effect sought to be
produced is hypnotic or mesmeric.
This is frankly admitted by those
who use this method. On the 9th
er hand the Mind invoked by the
Christian Scientist is that divine Mind
which Paul declares was in Christ
Jesus. This divine Mind is God Himself.
the creator of man and the universe
1t is that Mind Of which Mrs. Eddy
writes. THE perfect Mind sends forth
perfection, for God is Mind" Science
and Health, page 239). 1t is divine
Principle, the source Of all true being
1t is the Father to whom Christ Jesus
prayed, Not my will, but thine, be
done"
Close reasoning proves, in the light
Of the decision Of the highest court Of
the state of New York, that the law
under which Mr. Cole was tried does
not purpOrt to cOnfne the healing art
to the mere administration Of drugs or
the practice of surgery. On the con-
trary, the very words of the statute
and the decision which interpreted this
statute clearly recognize that healing
may be brought about by means which
are the direct opposite Of these meth
Ods-means which are distinctly a part
of the religion of citizens Of the state,
and that these means are lawful. 1t
was clearly the intention of the legis-
lature so to construct the statute as
to make impossible the perversiOn Of
its meaning which was attempted in
the Cole case, and the court in decid-
ing this case as it did simply inter
preted the will Of the legislature in this
regard.

POOR MANS COLLEGE
THE NEWSPAPER.
Appreciation of a Church Daily.

The value of newspapers and maya
zines in spreading religious beliefs isR
fact that is thoroughly recognized by
the Christian Science church, and in
practically every public library you will
find copies of the official publications
of this church.
In passing it might be remarked that
the Christian Science church publishes
one of the best dailies Of the country
namely, The Christian Science Monitor
Ask any newspaper man to name the
five leading papers of the country, and
he will be sure to include the Monitor. 1t
is not devoted to religious propaganda.
There is one article in each issue-and
only One-dealing with the Christian
Science faith. The other columns are
filed with news matter, well written
and edited The Monitor prints much
news that the other papers do not have
space for, and when there is any up
lift movement going on, no matter what
the denomination, plenty of space is
given to the cause. Where other pa
Monitor prints them complete. Scan
dal, murders, divOrce-a1 such stuff is
conspicuous by it's absence. There is
one complete page Of editorials, deal
ing with present day topics in a schol-
arly, thoughtful and practical way.
The newspaper has been called the
poor mans college. If this be true The
Christian Science Monitor is the uni
versity, where a postgraduate course
can be pursued. The Christian Science
ideal of looking on the bright side is
lived up to in the columns of the Mon
itOr.
The circulation is not limited to mem
berS of the Christian Science faith.
Thousands who hold tenets exactly
opposed to Mrs. Eddy read the Moni-
tor because of its clear presentation OF
public problems and the great amount
Of correct information to be found in
it's columns. At Harvard university
quotation from the Monitor is accepted
as true without further confirmation
The writer of this column, although
not a Christian Scientist, reads the
Monitor daily and is glad to acknowl-
edge that he is always broadened and
informed by doing so. AS far as l
know, there is no other sect that pub
fishes a daily paper-Church Editor

INFORMING AND AROUSING
The NATION.
IAN Editorial From The Christian Science
Monitor

.
Do the great mass of the people of
the United States understand what the
war is for? There are doubts on the
subject. 1t is no reflection upon the
general intelligence of the country to
say that large proportion of it's in
habitants are not altogether clear as
to the issues involved. They know
that the rights of American citizens
have been violated; they know that
the persons and property of American
citizens have been attacked; they know
that unspeakable Outrages upon hui
manity have been committed by and in
the name Of the Central Empires of Eu-
rope; they know, finally, that the honor
and the flag Of their country have been
aSsailed and insulted, and, long before
the decisive step was taken, they were
all but unanimous in demanding that
the Government at Washington should
go to the extreme in defending the Re
public, and everything for which it
stands, against such aggression. They
realize that war is necessary, and that
German autocracy and German militia
rism made it inevitable But do they
really comprehend, in a large sense,
what the United States will soon be
fighting for, shoulder to shoulder with
the Entente nations and their Allies +?
Do they realize what are the purposes,
the aims, the ends, of the gigantic
armed movement now rapidly taking
form in their own country, and begin
ming to exhibit tangible results across
the Atlantic?
President Wilson, in his speech rec
ommending to Congress that a state Of
war be declared between the United
States and Germany, was careful to
make it plain that by Germany was
meant, not the German people, but the
Imperial German Government; and Con
gress was equally careful to reiterate
and emphasize this fact. The United
States is not at war against any peo-
pie, against any nation; it is not at war
for vengeance, or for conquest; it is not
at war for destruction's sake; it is at
war against a ruinOus philosophy,
against international laWlessness.
against a polittco-miIitary system that
menaces the peace and liberty Of the
world 1t is a question how far and
how well this is understood by the
people of the United States. 1t is of
the utmost Importance that they should
understand it soon and thoroughly. >

A THOUGHT WORLD.
Excerpt From Lecture on Christian
seiencs by Clarence w. Chadwick, c.
s. g., Member of Christian Science
Beard of Lectureship.

In the evolution Of human thinking it
is becoming more and more evident
that we live in thought world What
ever confronts US must be mental pro-
curement, else there could be no mental
or conscious recognition Of it What
does the eye behold but mental image
pictured on the retina? We see thoughts
because we think them. Things are
thoughts and thoughts are things Di-
vest human existence of all thought
and there would be nothing left to see,
hear, touch, taste or smell. Without
thought there would be nothing to think
or to talk about.

A certain definition of war, attributed
to William Tecumseh Sherman, whose
authority on the subject has never been
doubted, is now quoted the world over,
and with increasing emphasis. Yet It
was delivered in an offhand fashion,
and was never intended by the General
to be taken as a thoroughly matured
conclusion. Another definition Of war,
with which, however, he would doubt
less, have preferred his name to be
identified, was, Wars legitimate OBJ
ject issa more perfect peace" words, by
the way, that may be found inscribed
upon his monument at Washington

While there is full appreciation of
the necessity of cooperation in large
undertakings. the senators who accuse
President Wilson of not consulting with
Congress on every detail in the war
plans may find solace in the story told
about Abraham Lincoln. 1t is related

Emancipation Proclamation, he called
the Cabinet together, and said: Il have

Mrs. Eddy's Discovery.

uTos EOGJ , DlSSONSTJs
1t was in the year 1866 that Mrs
Eddy made the all-important discovery
that Fall causatiOn was Mind, and every
effect mental phenomenon" (''Retro-
spection and Introspection,' page 24).
By Mind she means not the carnal or
mortal mind, which ais enmity against
GOd," but one infinite supreme creative,
governing intelligence of the universe,
eternal and Interchangeable.
Health and Disease.
Christian Scientists are a great deal
more interested in the subject of health
than in disease. They have found out
that the right idea of health when in
telligently presented to humanity is'far
more contagious than the thought of
disease. They do not believe in getting
sick and then having to become pro
fcient in knowledge of disease before
learning how to be we'll They have
learned that health is the normal con-
dition Of man in Christian Science, and
that disease is a mistake of the human
mind, to be corrected by a right under
standing of health as an attribute of
God.
Jesus did not advise US to acquire a
knowledge Of disease in order to heal
disease. He did not counsel his follow
ers to study medical works in order to
cope intelligently with the ills Of the
flesh. He did not say to study what the
world says about sin in order to avoid
it's experience. What did he say? This,
"Seek We first the kingdom Of God and
His righteousness" which is equivalent
to saying, "Seek We first the spiritual
understanding of God and His right
thoughts or IDEAS" Christian Science
has come to open the door of conscious
ness to receive this understanding of
God and to apply it to the correction Of
every human mistake.-[Fro the Alta
Herald, Lethbridge, Canada.l
