Ventilation.

The mayor of Terre Haute the other
day appointed a number of the city
schoolma'ams to do special police duty,
such as to seeing to the ventilating of
stores, etc, says the Indianapolis
News. Miss Margaret Kilroy, high
school teacher, being one of those ap
pointed, visited a number Of stores. In
one the manager became indignant as
she explained the necessity of his do
Ing more ventilation. "Why, it's very
warm here" she complained, unbutton-
Ing her coat and revealing a georgette
crepe waist
"Ventilating doesn't have anything
to do with it." protested the man.
"Why, 90 per cent Of the cases of flu
in this country have been caused by
the wearing of georgette crepe
waists"
He was actually ready TO smile when
back came Miss Kilroy's cool re-
Joinder: 81 suppose that explains the
great number of cases in the United
States army, then"

Why That Lame Back?

That morning lameness-those sharp
pains when bending or lifting, make
work a burden and rest impossible.
Don't be handicapped by bad back
look to your kidneys. You will make no
mistake by following this Ellsworth
Falls residents example.
John Lake, stone mason, State St.,
Ellsworth Falls, Me-, says: about four
wears ago my back was lame and painful
and at times l could hardly get about and
was all bent over. My work causes more
or less strain on my back, and l think it
had lot to do with bringing on the
trouble. l had fainting and dizzy spells;
in fact, was in pretty bad shape tried
different kinds of medicines, but Doan's
Kidney Pills did me more good than all
the others combined. This medicine
cured me-

Accllmatizlna Salmon.

The bureau of fisheries reports that
100000 sockeye and 1895, 900 hump
back salmon eggs had been obtained
at the station at Yes bay, Alaska, from
August 20, when collections began, to
September 30. If the collections are
sufficiently large 100000 humpback
eggs will be sent TO the Maine stations
for the continuation of the acclimati-
zation experiments undertaken several
years ago. Later in the year It is
hoped to send a second consignment.

Economies Effected.

Interesting statistics are given of
economies effected in changes in de-
sign. For instance, elimination of lac
ingS and eyelets in trousers saved S17,-
100000, and the redesigning of the
coat cut the cost of this garment So
100000 Expert cutting reduced the
consumption of cloth 23-100 of yard,
and saved 100000 yards on the to-
tai order.
Innovations resulting from short
ages in material included the substl-
tuition of American dyes for the Ger
man product and the use of vegeta-
BILE "ivory" in button-making.
The activities of the quartermaster
corps (afterward taken over largely
by the bureau of purchase, storage and
supply included also the furnishing of
hats, shoes, boots, fuel, oil, paint, tools,
harness. and harness equipment, and
even music. Prominent composers
volunteered for the work of selecting
a balanced ration" of jazz and more
restraining orchestrations for the army
bands.
TO give the American aviator
the surest fuel possible, the depart
ment took over every drop of "25,7 de-
gree fighting naphtha" and confined its
use to the service of planes actually
on the front.

THE WORLDS MARKETS
Weekly Metal Review

New York, April 6.-The steel situ- favorable course during the last few days
 The chief reason for the change lies in the railroad administration refusing to place orders for large tonnages of rails and other equipment at the new lower prices decided upon by the in dustrial board has brought about a de- cidedly unsettled tone in the whole in- dustry since private consumers have been waiting for the government de- partmnts to come in with orders and their failure to do this has materially cut the volume of new business which the producers were Justified in expect ing.
 Mill operations since the new price was announced have shown a slight shrinkage and this, coupled with the scarcity of new business, has caused some depression in steel circles. Pig iron is quiet and also unfavora ble since all business to which producers can point at the moment is an occasional small scale. The real buying movement has been waiting for the announcement of the governments purchasing pro- gramme and the halt inthis field caused by this refusal of the railroad officials to sanction purchases bids fair to create a deadlock in the industry.
 Pig iron production during March reached total of 3,067,610 tons, com pared with 2,943,347 tons in February The slight gain during last month is regarded not so much as a result of better conditions as it is of a longer month and more working days.

New Orleans, April 6--In the cotton market last week the lowest pri ces were were made CT the opening session and the highest prices were made on the clos ing session. 1he main influence at the end of the week was the rumor from Paris that the peace treaty would be ready for signing by iext Weh ehnesday New May traded up to 251Oc and closed at 24.S2c. On the close the active months were 112 to 1S4 points over the close of the preceding week. At the highest levels prices showed net gains of 140 to 15l points. At the same time middlihg spots closed at their highest 26c, and this was 25 points under the close of the preceding week. which means that spot and con tract prices are coming together again.
 Untavorable weather in the belt and the Increased spot sales in the Liverp ool mar ket were tn emain bullish features in the earlier part of the week. Buying was re- stricted by a rather gloomy interpretation on the whole of foreign political dis patches.
 As the situation now stands the marke. during this week is bound to hand on the news from Paris, and anything tend- ing to show that the situation is clearing will have favorable effect on cotton values Daily reports from the cotton re- zion were resumed by the weather bureau last week, and this week, Wednesday will bring the first weekly crop and weather review for the new cotton season, Should ir he as unfavorable as generally ex- pected, it may be an important factor in the trading around the middle of the week However, it is quite generally con- coded that until international political matters are more settled purely market features cannot have the consideration which legitimately is due them.

"Baptists and the

Taking as his subject, "I3aptists and tine World Dr. J. R. Hob bs preached brief but strong sermon at the First Baptist church yesterday morning. lover in Texas, he said, there is a little Baptist church having only g mem bers and situated in town of not more than 300 inhabitants, I am told. and yet this church has come into more notice recently than any church Il know any thing about. This church is the Merriman Baptist church of Ranger, Tex, and the reason its fame has been spread abroad is that oil wells have been found on the church property which yield a royalty of something over $20O.00O annually, Of which sum the members have voted that not one cent shall be turned over to them. individually, but that it shall be devoted in it's entirety to the welfare and the purposes of the church.
 This attitude is considered remark able, and yet do you persG Gnally know of any Baptist church or any individua member of a Baptist church that you believe would have assumed a different attitude? I do not This spirit proves that there is faith in the world, and when you find faith, the genuine article, you find the kind of faith the Lord is look ing for when He comes.
 And there is a great deal of the gen uine article in every church.. Generally speaking, as a denomlnatlOn, IS 1t worth while giving the principles of the Bap- lists to the world? What do Baptists stand for? They stand first, for the Bible, then for religious liberty and in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Savior of mankind.
 ITO my mind the question of religious liberty is one of the most vital ques- tions in the world, and while I am strongly in favor of tho league of na- tions, the one point of weak kness in it seems to eVis that religious liberty is not safeguarded and guaranteed to every man. And the BaptiStS insited that this right should be given and guaranteed to American citizens.
 ''The Baptists stand for the belief that no man can be saved except through Jesus Christ. If the people of Russia had known the Bible. if Russia had known religious liberty, do you believe they would have bolshevism there to- day? Look at China, for 10 centuries or more, considered the most highly civil ized country in the world, yet without God and Gods word Still, less than one century of missionary work in China has accomplished more than those long cen turies before failed to do.
 ''When we see the wonderful results there and in other parts of the world is it not worth while to give Christian ity to the rest of the world? It has blessed our country, it has blessed us as individuals, and we have reason to believe that it will bless any country into which it goes.''-
