VOODISM AND CHRISTIAN
 SCIENCE NOT SYNONYMOUS
To the. Copper Era,

To the Copper Era,
 A statement in the Copper Era of March 18th that the treatment given by a Mexican voodoo doctor bore some resemblance to that of Christ ian Science is so far from the truth that respectfully request space for a brief statement of what constitutes Christian Science treatment:
 Tn the treatment of disease the Christian Scientist accepts the state ment of the Bible that God is Spirit and man, being created Tn HIS image and likeness, must be spiritual. He understands that his creation, winch the Bible says was finished and pro nounced very good, is now and al- ways will be perfect
 He also understands the character of material existence, that the dis cordant conditions from which nor tals suffer are but the erroneous con- cepts, the false beliefs, the dream shadows, of the mortal carnal mind from which humanity must be awaken ed. As the astronomer understands that the sun does not rise in the east and set in the west, that the earth is not stationary and flat, although it so appears to physical sense; so the Christian Scientist knows that the man of Gods creating is not sick but the patient is simply suffering from false mesmeric belief.
 ''The erroneous concepts in the , discordant mind of the patient are corrected through establishing in his consciousness the fact that as taught in Christian Science his existence instead of being material and discor. , lant, is spiritual and harmoniousWhe | the truth of existence is thus estab. ] lished in consciousness the healing of discord, whatever its nature, fol. lows. It is not the thought or will power of the practitioner acting up on the mind of the patient that does the healing work, but the action oi Truth operating trough the prayer ol understanding.
 | "A full statement of this treatment is contained in Chapter XII of the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.

ROAD WORK A STATE ENTERPRISE

The lack of discipline in evidence at the road camp, where the state convicts are at work on the Clifton-Solomonville road, is as disgusting to the Board of Supervisors as it is to the average tax payer Many have impor- tuned the members of the Board to take some action in the premises, and insist on the con- victs doing a fair days work or ask for their removal It is learned that the work is being done by the state, at the state s expense, and jnasmuch the county Is not defraying any of the expense incident to retaining the con- victs on the road, any action the part of the Board of Supervisors might not be the proper conrse to pursue. Under such conditions the Board has left the settlement of this vexed question to be threshed out by the administra- Tion, which in the course of time, may be able to induce the pets of the governor to be good and stay on the job. When the public under stands that the state is footing all the bills 1t will not elamor for the removal of the convicts from his locality In the meantime all are pursuing the policy of patiently waiting to see how long that the administration will permit a gang of convicts to defy the constituted au- thorities of the great State of Arizona.

It is a most encouraging sign when union labor generally throughout the state refuses to be stampeded by wild radical who hap pens to be in authority. Union labor is pledg- ed to win this war; It has made certain agree ments with the government; it has made con- sessions and exacted concessions. Then 1t IS inherently patriotic. Time was, and not long ago, when call to strike in Arizona; any call; and upon any pretext was generally heard and needed, no matter if spoken in whisper But that time has passed Thoughtful and far seeing men, both among employers and in union labor ranks, realized it. But to a man of the Croaff stamp the signs of the times, when they point to progress, are as closed book Again, union labor leaders through ont the country, chief of whom is President Gompers, did not hesitate to speak out straight and plain regarding this ill timed strike order. Union labor in Arizona nas been very unfortunate in its state leader, both as regards Croaff and his predecessor There is strong hope that more careful and consid- crate choice will be made next time.

One of the commendable features of the Liberty Loan campaign is the patriotism mani tested by American citizens of Spanish, Ital- ian and Mexican parentage. These have shown their loyalty by buying their limit. The same is also apparent with the Chinese Americans. They go strong on Liberty Bonds One of the expressed it most forcibly when he said "Why Not Buy?'

''It's long way to Tipperary' but indi- cations point that Dollar Silver is not far in the distance. A bill placing this value on the white metal has been reported favorably to the national congress. It is step towards the opening of the hints to the free coinage of sill yer, which was fought to a dismal frazzle when Organism was in flower.

High Cattle Prices
 Accompany High Beef Prices

If consumers are to pay less for beef, livestock raisers naturally will receive less for cattle.
 If farmers are paid moro for live stock, consumers will necessarily pay more for meat.
 Swift & Company pays for cattle approximately 90 per cent of the price received for beef and by-products. The remaining 10 per cent pays for dressing, freight to market, operation of distributing houses, and in most cases, delivery to the retailer. Net profits also have to come out of this 10 per cent.
 This margin cannot be squeezed arbitrarily without danger of crippling the only effective means of performing the complex service of converting cattle into meat and distributing this meat to the fighting forces and to consumers.
 Swift & Company's net profit on beef during 1917 was only IA of . cent per pound. On all products, it was little less than four cents on each dollar of sales. Complete elimi- nation of these profits would not affect appreciably retail prices of meat, or farm prices of live stock.
 Swift & Company will be glad to cooperate in devising methods that will improve conditions in the meat and live stock industry.

A splendid program was given at
the Virginia St. Baptist church, by the
citizensfi in behalf of the community,
House to be erected at Camp Funston
for the colored soldiers.
This exercise was in keeping with
the occasion, strictly patriotic. The
music was up to the hour, and was
interspersed by addressed, papers and
poems, The church was beautifully
decorated suitable to the evening.
All surroundings assumed an atmos-
pheric appearance of patriotism.
The building was crowded and
standing room was at a premium, but
not with standing this congested con.
dition enthusiasm scared high.
Success crowned the effort both lit
orally and financially. Two much

TEN REASONS WHY you SHOULD
JOIN THE AMERICAN
wOODMEN-

1. Because 1t is an association of
Colored people, operated by and for
the protection of Colored people, and
is not operated for profit.
2. Its rates are those of the Ma
tional Fraternal Congress and there
fore it is enabled to maintain a re-
serve sufficient to meet the increased
mortality of its members in later
years without resorting to taxes OF
extra assessments.
8. Because all certificates carry old
age, permanent and total disability,
accident, sickness, death, and burial
benefits, thereby enabling any mem
Der to cover in a single policy such
protection as otherwise would require
the carrying of two or more policies
in different companies at a cost in the
aggregate far in excess of the rates
offered by the American Woodmen.
4. Because there is no discrimina-
ton in rates. The humblest wage
Garner pays no more than the profess
sional or business man; age regulates
the rate.
5. Because your policy cannot lapse
on account of illness or accident un-
less you so desire, for it pays benefits
from beginning of illness or accident
until the restoration to health regard
less of the time, whether measured in
hours, days, weeks, months, or years.
6. In the event of death from what
ever cause, there is an amount vary
ing from $3.50 to $4,000 to maintain
and protect those who are left de-
pendent. 1t has paid within the past
sixteen (16) years to its members,
100000.
Z. Because, by giving employment
to hundreds of Negroes, it opens the
door of hope to you. Its clerical force
is composed of young men and women
tunity to earn a livelihood in a credit
able way.
8. Because it is the oldest and
strongest fraternal life insurance So
ciety for Colored people in America.
1t has $150,000 for the protection of
~ pOllSy hOIuCAS, IL ~ SSlNShSJ 10
unquestionable, being valued at one
hundred per cent.
8. Because it accepts the member
ship of women on the same basis as
men, and allows them to affiliate in
, all matters affecting the camp to
| which they belong.
10. Because of it's fraternal feature,
large numbers of men and women are
brought into personal contact, thereby
learning to guard and respect each
others interest, which ultimately de-
velopes into a racial love that pro.
notes business.
Then you should waste no time to
become a member,
