NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Two vast

that comes before the council sifted

There were a number of written
communications. the regular bills, re-

all departments everything was work

Mr.. Marsh reported that the rains
of the past two weeks had put the
pit out of commission. and hat he
could get no lime to repair the
streets, but that he was opening up
all the pipes to take off the water.
Written reports Of the library com
mittee, the city physician and the san
iitary inspector were read and filed

A communication from Mr.: r L.
Anderson, acting for Mrs. Lyles in
regard to the compromise on the
price of a strip OF land on her prop

refused, and as Mr.. K. B. Bullock aft

A Novel Way of Making Pillows

Here is a new idea for making pill.
lows for the summer cottage in the
country or at the seashOre; and for
such a place, as most housekeepers
agree, it is practically impossible to
have too many of such convenient
things for use both outdoors and in,

city woman, preparing to go off for a
long summer of delight on the old
farm she has bought up in the Berk-
shires, is busying herself with MAX

treatment than one wants to accord
them out of doors. And the small
boys of her household like to have
pillows that they may use as they
may happen to choose.

SHIFTING THE RESPONSIBILITY

The Arcadia News, which we es-
TEEN very highly, says that the Rev.
j. w Porter. d. D., l.. l.. D., has an
editorial each week for the last sew
eral weeks in the Western Recorder
on some phase of the war question.
The editor of the News says that
these articles are among the most
thoughtful and sensible of any that
have fallen under his observation
The editor then reprints one Of
these articles in the News from which
we take the following brief extract:
Whatever may be Gods purpose
in the present war we believe it is
a reply and punishment to those
who would not do his will"
We confess that statements of this
characer CRATE harshly on our nerves.
This is an attempt to lift the re-.
sponsibiliy for this terrific war, with
all its horrors and denominations, from
the shoulders of the kaiser and his
plotters and fix the responsibility on
God.
We don't believe a word of it.
We have too much love, reverence
and generation for God to believe any
such awful accusation.
