Vaccination is a Gigantic Delusion

"There is no doubt as to the certain and
absolute uselessness of vaccination as
preventative of smallpox. Vaccination has
actually increased susceptibility to smallpox:
Vaccination is a gigantic deluslon, and
never saved a single life; but it has caused
so much disease, so many deaths, such vast
amount of utterly needless and altogether
undeserved suffering, that it will be classed
by the coming generation among the great
est errors of an ignorant and preJudlced
age. and its penal enforcement the toulest
blot on the course of legislation during Our
century, ALFRED Russell Wallace.
Vaccination is rapidly becoming dlscred-
tied among scientific sanitarans and IS
destined to take its place beside the Black
Art: bleeding and variolous incubation, as
an exploded medical theory
"Vaccination has been tried and found
wanting; and the fanatical and frantic ct
forts of its devotees may postpone tor a
time, but cannot avert the downward plunge
of the sword of Damocles. p. w. Hodge,

creased. Good authorities express the be-
lief that the increase in the above mentioned
diseases is due, largely, to the practice of
vaccination
1T is evident that we are unable to meas
ure the dangers which may lurk in any
specimen of vaccine; that it can only be
tested by its results; that these results are
not immediate and obvious, but are often
not completely developed until years after
the vaccination. George w. Winterburn,

A GREAT LESSON IN THRIFT

Gas soon as the American people as a
whole awaken to the. possibilities in the
way of personal comfort and happi-
ness to be gained by the practice of
thrift, the better it will be for the well
fare of the nation says Representative
John j. Esch of Wisconsin. :" | heart
lily approve of the campaign which is
being undertaken by the treasury de-
department to carry to every home the
doctrine of thrift as part of the 1919
campaign for the sale of war savings
and thrift stamps. l view the govern
ment's campaign for the sale of war
savings and thrift stamps and the pro;
motion of the idea of thrift as one of
the most significant activities ever un

man, woman and child throughout the
country should lend their hearty sup
port in making it a success"

a Day of CIadnesS.

Easter Sunday was day of genuine
gladness and rejoicing at the First
Congregational Church. The hours of
worship commenced with sunrise
prayer service in the chapel when more
than one hundred people gathered to
worship and kneel before the Risen
Christ; it was an hour of deep spiritual
feeling and memory. The Sunday
School noted record attendance and
interest; at the close of the Sunday
School eight adults and two children
received the rites of baptism. The most
impressive and solemn event Of the day
came at the morning hour of worship
when the pastor Rev. A. FL. Schoenfeld
extended the right hand of Christian
welcome and fellowship to ninety six
(96) new members; it was never to-
be forgotten hour. The interior Of the
church was a scene of beauty and fra
GRANGE. Easter lilies, ferns, potted
plants and cut flowers in profusion
bordered the pulpit platform. The
Easter JOY and gladness reached q
thrilling climax at the evening service
when the church chorus choir Of thirty
four voices rendered with inspiration
and power the cantata, "The King OF
dlory," in the presence of nearly eight
hundred people. 1t was soul stirring
day and a fitting tribute of love and
honor to the Risen Christ, whose living
presence cheered the hearts of all wor-
shippers.

Easter at St. Mary's Church.

Easter Sunday 1919 was observed at
ST. Mary's church in very festive
manner First mass was celebrated at
eight o'clock with sermon by Father
Nicholas Weyer, pastor and singing of
beautiful Easter hymns by the chill
dren's choir. AT ten o'clock high mass
Father Weyer, in his pleasing manner,
delivered a much appreciated sermon
in English and one in German and
also praised the large choir for the
splendid rendition of special music.
The affairs represented a scene Of
floral splendor adorned with fragrant
cut flowers, ferns, potted plants and
many lighted tapers. The Christian
spirit that man to be thoroughly happy
must be satisfied with his relation to
God again manifested itself by the
large congregation that attended the
services. The generous Easter offering
of the parishioners showed the high es-
TEEN for their pastor.
The services Sunday were beautiful
sequel to those we'll attended during the
Holy Week.

NO ADMISSION TAX FOR "KIDS"
United States Tells Exemptions-Dis.
count to Soldiers-Must Pay
on Passes

Washington, April 19.-Regulations
governing collection of the tax on ad-
missions, soon to be issued by the bu-
reau of internal revenue, define the
four classes which, are exempt from
the tax. They are children under
twelve years old, bona fide employees
of the place of amusement, municipal
officers on official business and sol.
diers or sailors in uniform. ALI other
persons are subject to the tax, which
is J. cent for each ten cents or fraction
thereof. If a theater sells to a soldier
or sailor a 50 ticket for 81, the tax is
10 cents on 81, not 20 cents on the
regular price. Admissions by passes
are subject to the tax.

LLOYD GEORGE ASSERTS
BOLSHEViSM is DYING
Declares United States and Europe
Are Not at Variance and
Peace Near.

London, April 1--we do not
despair of the Russian situation" de-
clared Premier Lloyd George in ad-
pressing parliament. ALTHOUGH the
bolsheyik forces are growing, bolshe-
vism is waning. We are supplying
the countries bordering Russia with
means of resisting the invasion of
bolshevism."
The allied representatives in Paris
haveIarrived at complete under
standing on the great fundamental
questions that would affect peace with
Germany, he declared. The allies had
formulated their demands, and he
Eoped that by the end Of next week
they would be presented. D
Replying in the house of commons
to previous criticisms of his activities
at the peace conference in Paris, Pre-
mier Lloyd George said the situation
was "still full of perils for all coun-
tries.'' He pleaded that "those who
were trying. to do their best be let
alone"
No conference in history, said the
premier, had been faced with problems
Of such variety, complexity, magnitude
and gravity. The congress Of Vienna,
which was the nearest approach to it,
took II months for it's work, but that
congress, Mr.. Lloyd George pointed
out, sank into insignificance as COM
pared With what had been settled by
this conference.
The time spent by the peace confer
ence in framing the league of nations
plan saved time instead of wasting it,
Lloyd George declared, as the league
would provide a means of adjustment
of possible errors.

NONSTOP FLIGHT
CHICAGO To n. Y.
Is Made in Six Hours and Fifty
Minutes.
AVERAGED 1O6 MILES AN HOUR
Captain White, American Army Avia.
tor, in Regulation Army Plane
Driven by Liberty Motor, Makes
Journey Without Mishap.

New York, April 21-The first non
stop airplane flight from Chicago to
New York was made by Capt. E. r..
White, an American army aviator, who
flew 727 miles in a De Haviland 4
army reconnaissance plane at an av-
erage speed Of 106 miles an hour. lie
ascended from the Ashburn aviation
field at Chicago at 8 80 o'clock central
time, and descended at Hazelhurst
field, MineO1a, L. l., at $40, eastern
time, the actual flying tiWe being 8
hours and so minutes.
He was accompanied by his mechan-
ician, Fl. M. Schaefer.
Some officials of the Aero Club OF
America said they believed Captain
White had won not only the honor of
being the aviator to make the first
nonstop flight from Chicago to New
York, but that he might also have the
honor of holding the American and
perhaps the worlds record for cOntlnu-
Gus flight
Awarded Honor BY Club.

awarded him the clubs medal of merit,
"in appreciation of his marvellous dem
onstratiOn of the practicability OF
using airplanes for fast transporta-
tion." The presentation will be made
at Atlantic City on May 4.
Officers at Hazelhurst field said that
the biplane used by Captain White
was one of the standard De Haviland
is constructed for the use Of the Amer
ican army in France. It was equipped
with a 12-cylinder Liberty motor of
400 horsepower. The machine was
prepared for the trip at the McCook
field, near Dayton, O. Captain White
recently flew the machine from Day
ton to Detroit and from Detroit to
Chicago.
Has Trouble at Start.
Captain White had great diffiuclty in
taking to the air on Ashburn field. The
ground was soft and the heavy army
plane, with the load Of more than 100
gallons of gasoline, cut into it deeply,
but after the aviator had had his plane
dragged to a harder spot~he managed
to take the air.
Circling over Chicago, Captain
White ascended to 10000 feet-nearly
two miles high. Throughout his flight
he did not go below this level until he
was ready to land. At intervals he
flew as high as 10000 feet.
Circles About New York
About five o'clock persons who were
visiting the ships of the Atlantic fleet
in the Hudson river and walking along
Riverside drive saw blush airplane
come down from the north at high
speed, turn sharply to the east, then
gradually come to lower level as it
circled over the city. 1t was Captain
White and his army plane bearing the
No 30,130.
After sailing over the city for ten
minutes Captain White turned toward
the field at Mineola, where he landed.
Captain White would not discuss the
details of his flight. The army Off
GERS did not press him to talk because
Of the WEAKNESS shown both by him
and his mechanic. He said that the
winds and all other atmospheric con-
ditions had been perfect throughout
the flight and that this, with the per-
feet functioning of the motor and the
good behavior of the plane, enabled
him to make the continuous flight.
