CHRISTIAN SCIENCE NOTES

Christian Science camp welfare
work is now being carried on in forty
five army and navy camps in the
United States under direction of the
Christian Science War Relief and
Camp Welfare Committee of The First
Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston.
There are at present about seventy
men and fifteen women engaged in
this work, the women serving mainly
as welfare room attendants.
Conducted at first independe emily, the
camp welfare work has been merged
with the war relief work which the
Christian Scientists were doing in
foreign countries before the United
States entered the war; For both these
purposes about one million dollars
have been raised.
The aim of the Christian Science
camp workers is to be as helpful as
possible to all the men in the camps,
whether or not they are Christian
Scientists, and particularly to give as
sistance which may be available at the
time or place through any of the
other camp Welfare agencies. A fea-
ture of this phase of the work is an
agreement for keeping soldiers and

and Half Ago.

It is Interesting to note that the en-
TREATMENT tax of the present day
was anticipated over 80 years ago by
tie inventive genius who proposed
that all places of public diversion.
Including playhouses, operas, masquer-
aces, Ranelagh, Vauxhall, Sadler's
Wells and Astley's- the famous re-
sorts of the fair and the fashionable
OF his day should be taxed, says Lon
don Tit-Bits. Another proposal was
that the very statues In the gardens
land the lakes and the groves, the
g.ottoes and the temples Of those days
were thick set with statues of heath
Ell gods and goddesses- should have q
price put upon their heads.
Time was when taxes were put on
the watches attached to the seals that
dangled from the fobs of the beaux or
hung on the girdles that encircled the
waists of the bellies. Those who own
ed clocks were also regarded as fit
subjects for special taxation.
I The ssguinea-pig" tax-the tax q
householder had to pay, for every per-
son in his household who wore a pig
tail and covered his hair with powder
had its day end passed away. So,
too, had tax on soap-the impost
that gave Lord North his nickname Of
sold Soapsuds"-and tax on salt.
Gloves and mittens were once taxed,
and so also were scores of other artf-
cles and the shops in which they were
sold.

Hr..s accomplishment OF Sa- 49,.
In this matter stands out even more
clearly If we bear in mind That we had
available in the fiscal year 1916-17
from net carry-over and as surplus
over our normal consumption about
2O0,OO0,000 bushels of wheat which we
were able to export that year without
trenching on our home Loaf" Mr..
Hoover said. '"This last year, however,
owing to the large failure of the 1917
wheat crop, we had available from net
earry-over and production and imports
only just about our normal consump-
ton. Therefore our wheat shipments
to Allied destinations represent APP
proximately savings from our own
wheat bread.
"These figures, however, do not fully
convey the volume of the effort and
sacrifice made during the past year
by the whole American people. De-
spite the magnificent effort of our agri-
cultural population in planting much
increased acreage in 1917, not only was
there a very large failure in wheat,
but also the corn failed to mature prop
erly, and our corn is our dominant crop
81 am sure" Mr.. Hoover wrote in
concluding his report, shat all the
millions Of our people, agricultural as
well as urban, who have contributed
to these results should feel a very
definite satisfaction that in year Of
universal food shortages in the north.
ern hemisphere all of those people
joined together against Germany have

strength fully maintained, but with
only temporary periods of hardship.
''It is difficult to distinguish between
various sections of our people-the
homes, public eating places, food
trades. urban or agricultural popula-
tions-in assessing credit for these re-
suits, but no one will deny the domi-
nant part of the American women"

Beavers Teach Engineers.

Beavers ieacn Engineers
A group Of Uncle Sans army engi-
neers received an unexpected lesson
In engineering at Bronx park. They
learned In the space Of one hour how
to repair broken dam and prevent
a disastrous flood. Their instructors
were nine beavers, who were romping
in the water of the pond. Above them
was dam 200 feet long and several
feet high. Suddenly came a rush Of
water. The swollen stream broke
into a torrent. Old man Beaver ap-
pealed to his offspring and the eight
sprang after him. They seized pieces
of timber, earth, rocks and sod. They
worked with feverish haste. Stone by
stone and timber by timber the wa
ter was slowly held back. One hour
after the water broke the dam was re-
paired. eff we can hold the Huns
like those chaps stopped that flood Of
water the war will be over in six
months" commented one Of the off,
GERS. II reckon science hasn't taught
US so much, after ALL" said bystand-
er. 'Those beavers know more about
their speciality than we do about war
or building canals. New York Trib-
une.

Again we are called upon to share
with those who sit at the common
table. It is challenge of war con-
ditions to our humanity, our chivalry
and our worth. This time we are re-
quired not to employ a substitute for
necessary food, but to give up an in
diligence.
Shall we succeed? Ask yourselves.
Would we do it if it was to share
with q sick family next door instead
of stricken neighbors across the sea !?
We can if we will. We will if we
realize. But the time is short. TIE
background of the wheat campaign
was six months building, but the SUI
gar campaign must be put through in
six week-or fail. 1t is the second
large test of the twelve million food
administration membership. They
look to you-they trust you. Get the
situation home to them and they will
play the game.
We claim the right to share with
the allies. Let US give Mr.. Hoover,
now sitting in the allied food council,
fresh warrant to assure the nations
that America will make good. Let us
send by every ship substantial tokens
of support to our boys over there
from an America worth dying for, .
The food administration appeals
with confidence to you.

Gas Masks and Whiskers.

To be clean shaver or bearded like
the pard is the alternative presented
to. the German first-line troops. The
reason is the gas mask. Some au-
thorities hold that the mask cannot be
relied upon to protect any but clean
shaver faces: others again hold that
dense hirsute growth within the
mask acts as an additional air filter.
But 1t must be real patriarchal beard

an article in the Deutsche Tageszei-
tung. The writer holds that the full
beard is a peculiarly Teutonic attri-
butte, and should be cultivated as such.
Besides, according to ancient tradi-
lions, it adds to "frightful aspect" he
naively adds. Gas tests at the front
in alright cubicles are carried out
every fortnight, and full-bearded men
testify to the additional security af-
forded by their boards.

sailors in close touch with their rela-
Quick Communication.

Quick Communication.
Cooperating with the committee in
Boston there is a Christian Science
camp welfare committee in each state.
The committee in the home state of a
soldier or sailor co-operates by mail
and telegraph with the committee of
the state in which he is camped or
stationed to form a direct and con-
slant link between the soldier or sailor
and his relatives. Thereby the rela-
tives are quickly made acquainted with
needs of their boy in the service, and
he is provided with an avenue of quick
communication with his home.
This linking of home and camp,
combined with the personal attention
of the Christian Science workers in
the camps, has frequently been the
means of changing a. soldiers outlook
from one of gloom to one of joy, and
not infrequently it has proved to be
the means of relieving relatives of
financial embarrassment, the COM
mittee in the home state making loans
for use by the relatives until their boy
in camp should be prepared to forward
money to them. t--wllf
Headings Recorded.
The net result, for which the Christ
ian Science committees AID camp
workers have received many com
mendations, has been noticeable
raising of the morale of many men in
the service and the development of a
better feeling at home regarding the
participation of their boys in the SER
vice.
The camp workers say there is an
increased willingness among the COM
handing officers and surgeons to al
low Christian Science treatment for
those men who ask for it, and many
Christian Science healings have been
recorded. Recently, two requests for
Christian Science services in hospital
wards were received by camp workers
from medical nurses who had observed
the beneficial effects of Christian
Science treatment.
In or near numerous camps, the
Christian Science Committees have
erected substantial buildings, with
quiet places for reading and writing,
and other buildings are in course of
construction. A light touring car has
been added to the equipment of the
Christian Science camp workers at
each camp to be used wherever and
whenever possible in assisting the
men.

U. S. FOOD FACTS

Seventy-five per cent of the sugar
used in this country has to be brought
here in ships. Every possible ship is
needed for the transportation of
troops and supplies to the other side.
You drink ships every time you use
sugar unnecessarily in a beverage.
You eat ships every time you eat
candy, purely luxury.
Candy manufacturers have been
limited to so per cent of their normal
supply of sugar-yet figures show the
receipts for candy to be larger than,
normal and constantly on the increase.
Eating candy now is not playing the
game.
The sugar is needed for canning,
the ships are needed for soldiers and
supplies for them; the labor used in
candy manufacture could be diverted
to a more useful purpose.
Why not say good bye to the Jolly
pop, the creams and sea foams until
after the war?
No rules have been issued by the
food administration on the marketing
of the 1918 wheat chop and the owner
of wheat raised this year may hold or
sell just as he desires. The announce
ment is made by the state food adj
ministration in answer to many in
quiries on the subject from through
out the state. For the present at
least the farmer will enjoy the same
choice as to marketing his wheat and
all of his cereal crops, that he does
in normal times.
Under regulations announced this
week county and local food admins
traitors may permit grocers to sell
extra sugar to farmers where they
have extra crews for harvesting and
threshing on the basis in August of 2
lbs. for every ninety meals served.
Restrictions on the use Of beef,
which permitted the serving of beef
but once each day in public eating
places and purchase of not more than
IN pounds Of clear. beef per person
per week in the household, have been
removed upon order from Washington.
Drouth in the southwest has babe
it necessary for cattle raisers to rush
to market large quantity of light
weight beef creating an unexpected
surplus which permits the removal OF
consumption restrictions. Heavy beef
animals are still particularly desired
for use in furnishing meat to the
army abroad and home people are
urged in the consumption of beef at
this time to favor the light weight
animals.
The general policy of conservation
meat consumption is still advised by
the food administration.
August sugar-for-canning regula-
lions provide up to- 10 pounds for
every member of the household less
whatever amount of sugar has been
previously obtained this season for
canning purposes.
In a household, hotel, or any other
institution where there is a per
capita sufficient to justify the pur-
chase of more than 100 pounds OF
sugar for canning, the @. K. of the

Sought upon signing certificates with
the retailer, but where more than 100
pounds is required the county adj
n1inistrator must approve the sale,
first assuring himself that it will be
used for canning and for no other pur-
pose and that it will be used in August
or practically so.
The home curing of meats sufficient
to supply all reasonable needs of a
family is an act of thrift and one to
be commended is the statement of the
federal food administration for Min
nesota.
The food administration will not in
terfere in any way with the custom
that has existed for years, among
farmers particularly, of killing some
of their home grown animals and cur
ing the meat for their own use during
the winter, and any individuals killing
and curing supply to meet the needs
of the family for the winter need have
no fear that the supply will be con-
hscated. -.--.--.-e~-< s ssss s,l-=

To all Representatives of the Food
| Administration:
The sugar campaign comes on us
suddenly. Revised accounts of losses
| and resources and new statement of
needs which we are in honor bound
to meet compel a sharp change in pro-
| gram. We must act quickly-wha is
not well begun in the next six weeks
will not be done at all.
The success of this program rests
on the honor and cooperation of the
American people. What are they do
ing now? We hear of people going
from store to store, trying to double
their portion over and over. They
don't realize they are trying to beat
the game. That is failure of the pro-
gram.
How was it in the wheat campaign
People everywhere vieing with one
another in zeal to play the game. That
was success.
Our success in the wheat campaign
| literally held the allies together
| through the spring and summer.
It did more than any other thing
to give them comfort and courage un-
til the tide turned last month. Hhia
more than any other performances
ours to establish American credit I'M
til the splendid part our troops took in
the second Marine battle.
