&c. Elliott, noted health specialist Of
nation wide reputation, for course
Of chautauqua health lectures. These
plans have been made in cooperation
with number of the churches of the
city in which the lectures will be held.
During the first week commencing
Monday April I'd, the lectures will be
held daily in the First Congregational
church at 2:30 p. m. The subject of
the opening lecture will be "The Sc
cret of health and preservation of the
body" Mr. Elliott has delivered this
course Of lectures in the larger cities
Of the nation. They have packed to the
doors many of the largest auditoriums.
He said today in speaking of the course
of lectures and prevention of disease.
- Disease does not belong to these
bodies. 1t twas never intended that
man should have disease. 1t is the re-
suit Of the violation of the laws of
health, which we transgress continual
ly. Disease is the product of ignorance,
wilful abuse and criminal neglect Of
our bodies. DR.. Chittenden of Yale un-
iversity says if we would observe the
laws of health which we know, we
would add fifteen years to the life of
every man, woman and child in the
United States. We have raised the
lifeline from SO years to A years for
men and 48 years for women in the
United States in the last forty years,
but the expectancy of life for the man
or woman at 40 is two years less than
it was forty years ago. This means
criminal neglect and abuse of the body
after 40 years Of age. A heavy food sup
ply, sedentary life, oxygen starva-
tion, and the lack of exercise, are the
chief causes of this decline.
In teaching prevention of disease
by right living, we do aim to set aside
the physician or declare him obsolete.

Los Angeles, an institution costing a

Request Managers To Have

mer met at the Commercial club last
evening to discuss plans for the sale
Of the 600 tickets and TO also take up a
communication from the Ministerial
Union in regard to Sunday evening en-
tertainments.
DIR. H. G. Epley, president of the ehau-
tauqua, said that the program for this
year was better in every respect than
those of former years. and that the Oh.
ening number would be on the evening
of Sunday, July Is, with a lecture by
DR.. J. Whiteomb Brewer. This first
number would be entirely sacred and
there would be no music whatever. DR..
Brewer is a Baptist minister and rated
as one of the eloquet men of the north
west.
A letter from the Salem Ministerial
Union to the managers Of the chautau-
qua and Ellison-White was read by Sec
retary c. E. Knowland. The ministers
of the city, with the exception of the
Rev. F. T. Porter, pastor of the First
Christian church, signed the petition,
asking that no Sunday evening enter.
tainment be given, but that if the Sun
day program be found necessary, that it
should be free to all as are the churches
in Salem and nearby territory.
Several of the stockholders thought
the petition should be laid on the table
and allowed to rest there, especially as
the contracts with Ellison-White had
already been signed, and also since the
opening number was to be an address
by minister on Sunday evening.
After a general discussion as to what
should be done with the petition, it was
moved by M. L. Meyers that reply
should be sent tC the Ministerial Union
simply stating that the program would
be given according to the contract al
ready entered into with Ellison White,
and that while there would be Sunday
evening program, it would be entirely
sacred.
DR.. H. G. Epley was unanimously re-
elected president of the chautauqua as
sociation for another year and Ernest R.
Ringo, secretary.
The petition of the Ministerial Union,
signed by 10 pastors of the city, is as
follows:
"We, the undersigned members of the
Salem Ministerial Union, appreciate the
value of the ehautauqua to Salem and
surrounding country. We have been glad
in the past to cooperate with you in
making it successful and hope to do so
in the future. In order to make the
chautauqua of the highest moral and in
telleetual value to our community, we
make the following request:
81. That you provide for six days
chautauquae excluding Sunday even
should this cost the patrons the same
price for season ticket as the sewn
day program.
80. Should a Sunday program be
necessary to the success Of the chautau-
qua, that the program be of such a char
acter as to properly protect and con
serve the principles for which the day
stands.
"3. That if Sunday program be
given, it shall be as free to the public
as are the churches to Salem and pa
tronizing territory"
