Mediums, ghost seers, ouiJa
scientists, show what you can do.
"A real spirit waiting to talk to
you; see IL you can reach IT.
The. spirit lives in the brain OF
Prof. Hyslop, lately Of Columbia
College, now head Of the American
Institute of Psychical Research.
Prof. Hyslop, who thinks he can
photograph and talk with spirits
in the other world, suffered d
hemorrhage of the BRAIN IN bro
cas- convolution," and speech was
destroyed.
Let spiritualists and ouijaites
see what they can get in the way
of messages from the spirit OF "a
living man whose Broci convClu'
tion is out Of gear. They went
get anything, not even papa is
happy" or 81 must go now, other
spirits are waiting to talk"
When he gets better, Psycholo-
gist Hyslop will know positively
that, in order to talk, spirit must
have a Broca convolution in first
class order. In a material world,
spirits can express themselves
only through matter. Ghosts
leave their skulls and all their
convolutions in the grave. How
do they do their talking? The
answer is, 'they don't
If any ghost CAN talk, the
world will hear something from
John Calvin today, when Maude
Royden, of London, is to preach
from Calvin's pulpit in the
Cathedral of Geneva. The one
thing that Calvin believed in most
sincerely, next to hellfire, was that
women should keep their mouths
shut and listen to him.
The Reformed Presbyterian
Church, in national synod, de-
mands ian amendment to the Con-
stitution acknowledging God and
the authority of the Bible" By
all means; also, perhaps, another
acknowledging that the earth is
round and twice two make four.
Which Bible, by the way? The
Catholic Bible differs from the
Protestant Bible, and there are
two versions of that, the old one,
written in the better English. And
there is the recent interesting
translation Of the Old Testament
by competent Jewish scholars.
These editions cannot all be exact.
Which is to be in the Constitution,
and how many agents will the
Government hire to Jail those
caught Transporting or selling"
the wrong edition?

rats and mice that carry disease.
One-tenth of one per cent of
money recently spent in killing
men and starving children would

There is a big city on this con-
tinent. New York, the city proper,
has 100000 inhabitants. Within
the metropolitan district are
100000. This does not include
big New Jersey cities across the
river.
If New York were as excellent
IN all ways as it is in bigness, it
would do we'll. But it has things
to learn from many other Ameri-
can cities, especially the value of
public schools. In schools, New
York compares favorably, consid-
ering it's wealth, with small towns
in Morocco.
How are business men Impress
ed by the fact, brought out in the
Senate investigation, that Mr..
Hoover's Presidential aspirations
were financed by men from whom
he had been buying food with the
public money? What would a
merchant say, if his chief buyer"
we're generously financed by the
men from whom the buyer" had
been buying? He'd say, get me
a new buyer"
Are you aware that In these
days of theoretical peace and the
preposterous peace league, this
country, for the fiscal year ahead
of us, has appropriated S2S mil
lions of dollars for war purposes? ?
This is $3.50, 100000 more than our
total Government expenditure be-
fore the war began. A good deal
to pay for fear of war" How
much would 1t cost If We allowed
sloppy sentimenality to drag us
into war?
No wonder men that got their
billions in the last war are eager
for a peace" league that would
keep us and other nations at war
forever.
