course II tear were understood in its full met
aphySlcal Significance. it would be understood
to be the provoking cause of all evil of every sort
But even from the ordinary point of view of the
world fear, when it communicates itself to num-
bers, is capable of causing greater disaster than
any other phase of the human consciousness.
The pagan philosophers realized that there was
such a thing as the fear of fear, in other words,
as they stated it. the fear of death was worse than
death itself. Centuries later Shakespeare appro-
prlated the idea, and put precisely the same SEN
timent into the mouth of Isabella, in Measure
for Measure" and indeed, anyone who knows
anything at all of history knows how disease
was spread upon the wings of fear in the case of
that awful visitation of the Fourteenth Century,
known as the Black Death, and again when a
pestllence of similar nature swept London, in
the Seventeenth Century.
Some day the world will come to see that what
it calls contagion is a mental contagion and that
what it calls infection is the infection of one
mind from another Orthodox medical practice
today largely recognizes this, but it draws back
from the logical consequences of its own admis-
sion, and endeavOrS to shelter itself in halfway
house, which is built partially out of mind and
partially out of matter. Any person who has
watched the ravages of such a disease as cho-
era in the East must know exactly what this
means. The European sahib, going about doing
his duty, and quite fearless of consequences,
moves through the cholera camps with perfect
immunity from the disease. But the native,
stricken by this disease, lies down almost where
he is overcome by it, whether in his house or by
the roadside, convinced, in the suddenness of the
shock and the confusion of his fear, that the mo-
ment has come from which it is useless for him
to attempt to escape.
In such conditions it is surely obvious that the
sanest treatment is to do everything possible to
destroy fear. Fear in a Christian community
should be self-condemned. Some nineteen CEN
turieS of reading the Johannine epistles should
surely have effected this if Christendom is under
standing what it reads 1t is little to the point to
say that fear is uncomfortable, for any person.
who has ever had anything to do with causes
which produce fear knows that this is not the
case. Probably every man who has made the sea
his profession has been through periods of fear
which he has had to overcome in order to gain
that sereneness in danger, without which he
would be liability instead of an asset on board

any plague come nigh thy dwelling" Yet at the
very moment when the churches should be fill
ing the minds of the people with peace, and reas-
surlng them of the impotency of evil, it is pro-
posed that these churches shall be shut, and that
the admission shall be made that it is dangerous
tor men and women to congregate to worship
GOd for fear the Lords arm is so shortened that
He cannot contend with microbes On the other
hand if people believe that God sends pestilence
into the world for the good of the world, what
right have they to protect themselves against
this pestilence, and to attempt by the drinking of
drugs, by methods of segregation, or by any
means at ALL to prevent the anger of the Lord
from taking effect? The very fact that all men
and women endeavor to protect themselves
against disease, at all times, is the proof, to any
sane person, that in it's heart the world does not
believe that discord proceeds from Principle;
that death comes out of Life, or that reprisals
are the work of Love.
THE way" writes Mrs. Eddy, in famous sem
tence on page POI of Science and Health, TO ex-
tract error from mortal mind is to pour in truth
through flood tides of Love-" Now not even the
natural scientist will deny that the way to over
come any condition at all, is to learn the truth
about it. Until the truth has been learned a man
fights with his hands tied behind him, or at the
best like the boxer in the Greek games, who, Paul
declared, beat the air. The Christian religion is
perfectly clear on this point. Jesus of Nazareth
himself declared, "Ye shall know the truth, and
the truth shall make you free" If the truth will
not free men from microbes, it will not free them
from anything at all. Now it is perfectly certain
that if the truth about Christianity exists any,
where, it exists in the Bible, and that one way to
learn this truth is through the churches conse-
Grated for the purpose of promulgating it, and
not by closing their doors in token of their
lmpOtency. The church which closes it's doors
practically procaims its impotency, and the
admission is a terrible one when it is made
in the hour of nations need. If the arm
OF the Lord is SO shortened that He cannot
save, what is the good of the siren whistles
to call people to prayer every day at midday?
Is it to be supposed that the prayers for the sue
cess of Truth in the war will be more successful
than the prayers in the churches for freedom
from Influenza? Let the sirens shrek on week
days. but the churches be closed on Sundays!
Surely it was a wise man who once said "A mad
world nv masters"

NEW RULE SAVES SUGAR.

Approximately 200,000,000 pounds
of sugar will be saved per year by
new ruling of the Food Administra-
ton which will prevent any one from
obtaining more than two pounds of
sugar per month.
Many people were unconsclously
breaking the regulation regarding
the distribution of sugar by purchas-
ing their sugar on the basis of one
half pound per capita per week. On
this basis of four weeks to the month
there would be only forty eight weeks
to the year, or three hundred and
thir.y-six days. This would leave
twen.y-nine days or practically an
other month during which sugar
would be consumed on basis of two
pounds per capita. With a popula-
ton of 100000 people this would
require about an additional 100000
900 pounds of sugar. The new regula-
ton which became effective October
18th requires the consumer to pur-
chase his allotment of sugar every
Is days or semi monthly, rather than
every week.

EAST BUCKspoRT.

Gloom has been cast ever the COM
munity by the deaths OF two former
young residents, Howard Il. Small and
his wife, Janet B. (Giberson) Small, who
moved from here to Bangor last spring.
Mr.. Small had spent practically all Of
his short life here. Energetic, kind
hearted and of a pleasing personality, he
made many friends, and East Bucksport
mourns for one OF her own.
Six years ago he married Miss Janet B.
Giberson Of Holmesville, N. B., who left
her home there and came here, where she
spent most of her short married life. OF
sunny disposition, keen INVITED, she was
an enjoyable companion, and she en-
deared herself to all. She was a member
of the Baptist church in her home town
in N. B.
The bodies were brought here and placed
in Hillside cemetery overlooking their
former home. Mrs. Small died Sunday,
and he the following Friday.
To their four little children, the Oldest
of whom is not quite five years, to his
parents, MIR. and Mrs. William Small and
to his sister, Mrs. Herbert Ward, all of
Bangor, to her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A.
Giberson, to her brothers and sister of
bonneville, N. B., the sincerest SYM
pathy OF the community is extended
Mrs. Ward is seriously ill of the same
disease, influenza, at her fathers home in
Bangor.

FINISH THE JOB RIGHT.

Finish the Job right" That was
the reply of the American fighting
men to the Americans back home and
20 the whole world in response to
Teutonic peace efforts. They have
taken the peace calls as a signal for
the Allies to continue to fight harder
than ever.
Lately we have heard much of what
Ie housewife did in the way Of max
ing it possible to feed the Allies last
year. Before The war the United
States had almost ceased to be food
exporting nation In the past year,
the diligent conservation of food by
the American housewife, however
made it possible for America to send
more than eleven million tons of food
to Europe,
This is a splendid victory for the
housewife. But it should in no way
serve to relax her efforts in conserv-
ing food in the coming year. 1t should
rather be, as the peace offer is to our
boys, spur to greater determination
to win the goal.
During the coming year we must
send seventeen and one-half million
tons of food across the Atlantic. To
do this calls for constant conserva-
ton of the staples,-wheat, meat
sugar, and fats-and unceasing vigil
ance to see that no food whatever is
wasted
But-"Finish the job right"

AyIEsE 20 Food Administra-
4S1 nnistra.ion restrtc-
lions upon the use OF
sugar =. manufacturers will be even
more rigid in November and Decem-

eral Food Administrator leon s..
Merrill has been advised from Wash

household use will be held rigidly to
two pounds per person per month and
that there will be further restrictions
for manufacturers.
Soft drink manufacturers will be
given only rs per cent of the amount
of sugar normally required in heir
business. This cuts in half the
amounts they were entitled to use in
the months of July, August, Septem-
Der, and October. Ice cream manu-
facturers will come under the same
restrictions, receiving only one
fourth of the amount of sugar nor
mally required. Practically all manu-
facturers of beverage syrups, con-
fections, chewing gum, chocolate,
cocoa. cough drops, matted milk,
syrups and molasses, soda water,
adulterated honey and similar arti-
Giles, will be cut to so per cent Of the
average monthly use Of sugar from
July LIST to December 31st, 1915 and
1917, combined.
Candy and chocolate manufacturers
are being instructed to give prefer
ence to the Army. Navy, Red Cross,
Y. M. c. A, Knights Of columbus, and
Salvation Army. Sugar needed to
care for these orders, should come
out of their regular allotment, except
when furnished for shipment over

Client there ought also to be real pangs
at the loss of an institution, which goes
far to make up the life of any busy com

paper is well-nigh indispensable for a
place which makes pretentions of being

readers the story of current life even

Readers of the daily newspaper are not
required to wait seven days before be-
coming acquainted with the activities of

own community when the paper pro-
poses to be local chroneler, as well as
state, national and worldwide; and they
are able to think and to act with the turn
of the events thus laid before them, So
daily newspaper becomes an integral
part of the life of community. Per-
haps the daily CALIFORNIAN had not fully
acquired that position in st. Johnsbury,
but we doubt not that it was playing
an important part in the life OF that

would have in city or country. For the
building up of health, for the opportuni-

happy life in general what man has bet
