CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Lecture Delivered In Turner Opera
House Tuesday Evening.

Prof. George Shaw Cook, C. S. B.,
member of the board Of lectureships of
the Mother Church, the First Church
of Christ, Scientist, Boston, delivered a
lecture Tuesday evening at the Turn
er Opera house. An audience of over
100 people listened to the speaker.
He first spoke on the primary pur-
poses of conducting lecture tours,
stating that it was to teach what the
object of Christian Science was, and
to enable people to gain a clearer in
sight into it's basic foundation. He told
of how Mrs. Eddy, founder Of the
church, who, through an accident
which drove her to the borderland of
existence was enabled to see the truth
by giving up matter and putting her
trust in the Divine spirit, and was
healed.
Mr.. Shaw also said in part in his lee
ture that: Practically all inquirers
into the teachings of Christian Science
admit that it gives it's adherents a
sense of joy and happiness, together
with feeling of absolute security.
One of our eminent physicians has
just issued book to show that pes
simism is really disease, and so it
will be difficult for anyone to say
truthfully, if Christian Science has the
power to make people happier or more
optimistic, that even in the opinion of
materialists it is not valuable thera-
peutic agency. Christian Science has,
through the unfolding of the law of
the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, >
given back to mankind the ability to
refuse to remain in bondage to the
so-called law Of sin and disease"

POLAR PORK

In exploiting Alaska wo Amerl- cans have brought the polar pork Into existence. Farmers in Alaska, even as far north as st. Michael, arc now raising pigs. And they arc making as much Of a success of their venture as some of the farmers in warmer climes. The fact is, In some parts of Alaska tho native grown hogs are as fine as any raised in this country Alaskans arc al- ways intent upon raising as much and as varied a line of livestock as possible, due to the isolation Of the territory in which they live, and the consequent freight rates. Alaska will never be really as great as its preceptors wish it Co be until it can make itself independent Of the out side resources for all or most articles of food, and every new success in producing the things there which we are accustomed to here at home is heralded as a triumph. When polar pork becomes SO common that Alaska can do her own packing the ice bin for refrigeration should not be much of an item of expense. Live stock in Alaska Is an established in- d1stry.--Wiliamsport (Pa.. Grit.

A late telegram from Camp Grant, Illinois says:
 Colonel Roosevelt shot facts and figures as they had been given Go him unccusorod 1S,OOO National army men today.

 Repeatedly Colonel Roosevelt call cd Major General Barry to the "near witness stand" "If l am wrong, correct me, General Barry" the Col- onel would say. General Barry of course, offered no interruption or dispute to Colonel Rooscyolts usser- tions.
 These direct charges were made by Colonel Roosevelt:
 That National army soldiers now in training camps Camp Grant being a specific exception arc being drilled with broomsticks In place of rifles
 2.-That in Camp Grant there arc only 5000 rifles for 1S.OOO men now in the ranks, or "throe men to a rlne."
 3-That just exactly one airplanc owned by the United States govern mont is capable of flying over enemy lines and giving battle.
 4-That with the war now eight months old, the United States is not able to put an army in the field that could cope with an army "of GO.OOO or 10000 Germans"
 .5-That it will be a year before tho United States is able, from the stanpomt of equipment alone, to place an army in the European bat tlc fields that compares proportion atcly with Che army that Portugal was able to send Co the firing line almost immediately after declaring. war.
