BIBLE SANCTIONS DISHONESTY.

Cheating cheated his brother
Esau (Gen. 25:29-34). Jacob by a
"ringstreaked' and "speckled" game
cheated Labon out of his cattle (Gen.
30:4l-3D. The Israelites obtain the
Egyptians property by false pretenses
Eek. 1921, 22). "And the Lord said
unto Moses Speak now in the
ears of the people and let every man
borrow of his neighbor, and every
woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver,
and jewels of gold," (Ex. ILL, y.
"And the children of Israel did accord
ing to the word of Moses; and
they spoiled the Egyptians.-Ex. 1885,

Stealing-The Bible upholds theft
and robberies. God directs Moses to
send a marauding expedition against
the Midianites. They put the inhabi
tants to the sword, and return with
100000 (7) cattle. Of this booty God
exacts 500 head for himself and 5000
head for his priests. The remainder he
causes to be divided between the SOL
diers and citizens. So elated are the
Israelites with their successes, so CRATE
full to God for his assistance, that they
make him a gift of 10000 shekels of
stolen gold (Num. 3O).
When Joshua took Jericho, "they
burnt the city with fire and all that
was therein; only the silver and the
gold and vessels of brass and of iron
they put into the treasury of the Lord"
Josh. 6:19-24. When he captured Al,
''the cattle and the spoils of that city
Israel took for prey unto themselves,
according unto the word of the Lord
which he commanded Joshua" Josh.

Stage Art and Motion Pictures.

AS form Of entertainment, not in
struction, the motion picture will prob
ably develop along the lines of free,
even fantastic, romance, of melodrama
and of simple narrative. The stage,
free from the burden Of supplying these
forms of entertainment, will probably
concentrate more on the mission of
the spoken work, which is to convey
ideas and illuminate character, on the
creation of the complete illusion of
reality and on the pictorial art of scene
painting. The movies and the spoken
drama are not so antagonistic as we
at first pessimistically supposed. Time,
we think, will prove to us that in real
ity they are two different forms of art.
as different as painting and sculpture

hint and hint to the wise is sufi-
cient.
Cancer attacks the stomach and the
uterus. or womb more often than any
other organ of the body. Carnality is
doubtless the cause.
Carnality is the enemy of the peo-
pie. Vegetarians know the dangers
of carnality. Pathological microorgan-
isms called germs breed corruption and
meat, the flesh of animals is the har-
Dor and breeding place of germs. Can
Ger is germ disease; germs live in
meat and they love corruption. A good
way to test the theory of meat as
cause of cancer is to find a victim of
cancer and Of fbroids and other tumor
and put them on the meat free of
vegetable and fish diet.
Sensitive natures stand aghast at the
slaughter of the innocents whether the
innocents are possessed of articulate
speech or not. They also prefer to be
magnanimous with the carnivora or
meat eaters as well as the herbivora or
vegetable eaters. They are not liable
to cancer and they know the cure.
Since cancer is the fruit of years Of
wrong living, the cure is to reverse
wrong living to the point of right liv-
ing. 1t means live a pure life aided
by competent supervision. The journey
back to the healthy condition will be
as rapid as the confidence of the pa
tient and the efficiency of the super
vision will permit. Correct living is
the cure and is simply conforming to
proper treatment and care.

The Bull of Phalaris-

Perillus Of Athens is said by the an
cient authorities to have invented for
Phalaris, tyrant Of Agrigentum, B. C.
$40, brazen bull which opened on the
side to admit victims who were to be
roasted to death by the fire which was
built underneath. The dying groans of
the sufferers closely resembled the
roaring of a maddened BULL" hence the
name that was given to the invention.
1t is refreshing to know that later on
the populace rose against Phalaris and
burned the tyrant in the bull that he
had made to be the cause of death to
so many others.

CANCER AND CURE.

Cancer is only distant point on the
toboggan slide of disease and death.
To prevent it, avoid the cause. In
other words keep off the toboggan
slide of disease and death.
Cancer can be cured. The remedy is
always easy when the cause is known.
When the cause is removed the trouble
ceases. That is not only true of can
Ger but it is true of every other malady,
mental or physical, local or general
In every conceivable walk of life that

truth.
Cancer is often an liberation of the
skin or of a ffbroid tumor or other
tissue. Every sore and every tumor is
a possible cancer of the lucrative kind.
Cancer is a penalty. 1t does not al
ways mean death of the physical. 1t
is only fatal when the unfortunate sur
renders.
The obstinate nature of cancer is a
logical result of long continued errors

THE ARMED SHIPS.

Now that the president has made his decision regarding the arning of merchant vessels that the proper pro- tection may be given to the ships of this country on the high seas. it is to be expected that there will be imme- diate steps taken to obtain the equip uent. have it placed upon the vessels, secure the gunners who are competent to operate them and proceed to engage in commercial pursuits the same as before tke German order for ruthless submarine warfare.
 Thus far no rules have been laid down by the government for the Amer ican vessels and none may be neces- sary further than what has been given out as the opinion of the department of state to the effect that American vessels are not required to wait until they are actually attacked before fir ing upon German subsea boats. They can do so as soon as the submarine makes it's appearance or a periscope is seen.
 This Is doubtless based upon the il- legality of the German naval warfare Instead of maintaining a legitimate blockade of the ports of the allied na- tions, which would demand respect, Germany has proceeded to establish it's own rules and by threatening ruth less warfare has anticipated that ship ping would be frightened out of stick ing to It's rights. Considering the threats made, every submarine must necessarily be looked upon as bent on destruction until Germany gives notice that they will proceed in ac- cordance with the laws of nations and from the statements which have come from Berlin there is little prospect of that at present.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

Sciiiy Islands-'No more siniser To- ca1ity could be found for the sinking of vessel in a submarine crusade than the neighborhood of the Scilly Islands where the Housatnoic met it's fate. It has been said that a large bag-full of pieces of granite, of diff ferent sizes, thrown indiscriminately into a small shallow pool of water will give a tolerably correct model of the Islands of Scilly. They are seventeen in number, varying in extent from ten to 1.64o acres. besides twenty-two smaller islets and numerous naked rocks. They are located in latitude 50, longitude 2. about twenty-five miles west by south from Lands End, Cornwall, England Those who recall Panzance," retain some idea of the na- ture of the Scillonian panorama: Wild and picturesque, sheer cliffs. and yawning caverns hollowed out by the ceaseless action of the ocean waves, perilous approach in stormy weather" This begin bulletin of the National Geographic Society issued here today. It then says:
 Though dour of aspect, the islands are rich in legend; and they have left some small record on the scroll of his- tory. For centuries there was a per- sistent tradition that dry land once connected Cornwall with the Scilly Is- II this champaign was strewn with vill- ages and hallowed by 140 churches, known to the Cornish of ancient days as Pethowsow, or Lyonesse: and on this fair land great and-gallant deeds were wrought which for ages were kept alive by wandering minetrels.
 Ut is said that the white horse borne as a crest by the Trevilian fam fly is to commemorate the escape of an ancestor from an age-gone inun- dation by swimming to the mainland on horseback. The similarity of the rock stroubars at Lands End and at St. Martins Head gives credence to the story that the islands were once a part of ths mainland. It has been usggesttd that the subsistence which cut off the islands might have occur red about March, s30, a suggestion based on a statement appearing in the Irish Annals recounting a great con vulsion which happened in that year in the south of Ireland and which

CHECKING FALSE REPORTS.

An announcement which ought to go a long way towards clearing up the flood of false stories which are com ing to the ears of both this and the German government following the sev- ering of diplomatic relations is that which states that the wireless service between the countries via Sayville will be tried out on a less restricted basis. This does not mean that un- censored despatches will be allowed to be sent. or that there will be any inclination to let any secrets of mili- tary value pass, but Dr. Ritter who represents the German interests here now will be permitted to keep Ger many informed upon certain matters which up to now have been stopped.
 Both countries have suffered from a lack of information as to what had actually been done by the other. There have been distorted tales and false reports. Germany got the idea through some channels which were not authentic that this government was making it decidedly inconvenient for Bernstorn and his party to get away, that the sailors on the German ships here were not properly treated and that consuls were prevented from going to new posts. Through being out of touch with Berlin there has been the same sort of trouble expert enced here, causing friction and irri- tation.
 For the purpose of blocking such transformation and presenting the record of each in a straightforward manner the wireless should be of much assistance if it is restricted to the sending of such matter as it is proper to get before the other nation.

and costly zeppelins he perfected a machine that could be navigated in the air and carry a number of people, to high attitudes and for long dis tances with more or less safety in so far as the elements were concerned.
 It was. however. as war machine that the Zeppelin was relied upon for it's greatest accomplishments. That was the great object of the inventor and in the present war there has been furnished the opportunity for putting it to the test. which has been disap- pointing in more ways than one. This must have been the cause of serious discouragement to the inventor who had put so many years of his life has been used in making many air raids but they have invariably been failures due to the altitude at which ing to the large target which they fur nished, and to the methods of com batting them which have been de- vised. Thus the great ambition of the inventor was frustrated but while the ineffeetiveness of the Zeppelin as a war machine has been demonstrated there still remains an opportunity for development along peaceful transpor- tation lines. and in that direction. it is more than probable. as has occur red with many others. that the Zep- pelin will be perfected to it's greatest usefulness years after the inventor has completed his work thereon. Tn that direction the Zeppelin furnishes a chance for others.
