The bylaw which this beneficial

means that poor men who have paid

FAITH HEALER TO
MINISTER TO SICK
WITH PRAYERS AID
DEPENDS ON FAITH
TO EFFECT CURES

Mr.. Hickson's reputation as
faith healer has met the full ap-
proval of the Episcopal Church
in the United States. His meth
od of helping the physically and
mentally unfortunate is said to
be based entirely upon a literal
Interpretation of the Bible.
At no time has Mr.. Hickson
claimed to cure the ills of the
world. He suggests that the un-
fortunate follow the advice given
in the New Testament and have
faith in Heaven.

NOTES OF GOLF AND GOLFERS.

Golf clubs, balls and other parapher-
MALTA connected with the royal and
ancient game are coming rather high
this year. Congress is preparing,
among other things, to take slap at
the old faliacy that golf isn't an ex-
pensive game" and as soon as Presi-
dent Wilson gets back in this country
he will be asked TO sign an innocuous-
looking document which levies a tax
of 10 per cent on all sporting goods.
The previous tax of 8 per cent gave
sporting goods dealers an excuse for
jumping the price of 75-cent ball to
IS cents What will the 10 per cent
tax do?
Although the consumer has paid
more for golf paraphernalia during
the past year than at any other time,
the professional hasn't lost money.

higher than before and he has made
