Dr.. Vaughn now has charge of the

cal missionaries for the Methodist
Board These young men must not
only have adequate professional at
tainments, but show good physique
They are inoculated for typhoid before
going overseas. AS a result of the
Centenary movement to raise $105, 000,-
k00'for uplifht work at home and abroad
the number of Methodist medical mis-
sionaries will be greatly increased.
New hospitals, clinics, dispensaaries
and sanitoriums will be established in
many lands.
All Treating Alike.
The work is being done in cOnnec-
ton with the regular missionary ac
never allowed to interfere with the
saving of the body Pagan and Christ
ians are treated alike. Religion is
not forced on the patients, who ra-
Their are led to admire the methods,
the kindness and the cleanliness of
western civilization and so are
brought indirectly into a receptive
frame of mind toward the. Gospel of
Christ.
One of the most interesting of the
Methodist Centenary projects is the
establishment of string of hospital
posts among the Mohammedans of
Malaysia. The Mohammedans are the
most difficult for missionaries to ap-
proach of any religion, but the way
is often found through the wonders of
modern medicine or surgery.
Some more figures for China will
show the stage to which the work has
been brought. In 1917, the latest year
for which figures are available, there
were 351 American medical mission
aries in China. The surgeons among
them performed 29,675 major opera
lions. OF these 4,232 were performed
by Methodist doctors, while Methodist
hospitals and dispensaries treated "a
1873 patients out of 104,41S for all the
mission boards.
DR.. Vaughn makes the interesting
statement that more DeOnle in the

but tuberculosis is the worlds great

with it at any given time than with
any other malady.

Liverpool Sales Up.
Sales Of spot cotton at Liverpool
during the week mounted to $4,000
bales, with Thursdays sales of $4,000
bales. being the largest since the war
started. This was accepted by the
trade as indicating the return to nor
NAL conditions in the English market
and active trade in the mill district of
Manchester.
Another significant item in the rise
was the aactivity and strength of the
spot market, where all towns reported
increased demand. In addition to this
some dry goods agents in New York
found it necessary to withdraw lines
of goods for export Thursday and
eliort to stem the advance in prices

The French commission was report

The decline in sterling exchange, it
was said, held up demand for spot cot

numbers,
The government weekly weather re-
port was bullish, showing slow pro-
gross of the crop as the result of con-
tinued low temperatures and rains,
which further held farm work back

keen judges of the crop assert that
whether it be high or low, it should
have little bearing on sentiment of
trade in that it seldom tells the final
figures of the crop. Often a high May

a low report with big outturn.

all the information at her disposal

In constituting this Act the Comp

follows
ut is therefore concluded that upon
discharge an enlisted man should be
paid cents a mile from place of dis
charge to place of original muster into
the service and if the place claimed to
be that of his actual bona fide home
or residence is at greater distance
he can present claim for the differ
ence between that amount and the
amount paid him on discharge. Such
claim should be made to the Auditor
for the War Department where the ev-

amount as may be found due can be

BIG CHANCE FOR BAD WORK
IN MAKING OF AUTO TIRES.

Few articles of commerce offer so
many opportunities for covering up
poor quality and faulty construction
as do automobile tires. A good-looking
outside covering may be only shell

cites this fact as reason why motorists
who want good service from their tires
