 NO SUBSTANCE IN MATTER
 Jesus knew that there was no sub stance in matter and he knew it per fectly that he walked through solid doors and walls He knew what was true about matter, namely. that it is only the manifested belief Of the material, carnal mind and since he did not have that material mind, matter did not appear to him as substance. His consciousness was spiritualzed He knew that the only sub stance is Spirit, but because of the ma teral element in their consciousness the people were unable to see or compre- hend Spirit as substance They could only think of matter as substance, and therefore to them matter appeared as substance.
 Knowing that there was no substance in matter, he knew that man was not material. Mrs. Eddy pointed out many years ago in Science and Health (see pp 476, f7T that Jesus saw the real man where mortals saw the mortal man, and that his true view healed the sick. The more one ponders over this statement the more it becomes apparent that it is necessarily true. When there came to Jesus the man who had been born blind, and who had grown from infancy to ma ture years without the perfect organs I of sight, Jesus healed him instantly. He | looked through the material veil and saw the real man, who, in every case, | is perfect. Jesus knew that God had never created one of his children without | sight. God never made an imperfect spiritual senses. and by seeing the per- feet man, Jesus pulled away the mask and allowed the perfect condition to ap- pear. When the paralytic was brought | to him Jesus, by seeing the real man. pulled away the mask created by the material beliefs of the carnal mind thus allowing the real condition of harmony and perfect being to appear and the man was instantly healed. Since the real man 1 is perfect in every case, when the inn perfect material beliefs are destroyed by the operation of the truth, human beings cannot fail to manifest improved con- ! ditions.
 Jesus also knew that since man was
 not material and does not live in
 matter, he could not die in matter. He | knew this so clearly that he was able to call Lazarus forth after his body
 had been in the tomb four days. Jesus
 knew that the real man, being
 spiritual can never die; for God is his
 Life. When he stood before the tomt
 of Lazarus he knew that the only
 thing that had taken place there was
 taat certain human beings. who were governed by the carnal mind had ac-
 cepted changed belief concerning
 Lazarus. They believed that he hat
 lived in matter and was material. and hence that he had died in matter Jesus looked through the mask ard
 saw the real man who was alive all ol
 the time. and by seeing the real man Jesus destroyed the false concept, ant
 thus made it possible for the real con
 dition of Life to appear. Having seer

 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE
 The importance of this cannot be over estimated All sin disease. and death ccme from the belief of life, intelligence. sensation. and substance ill matter. If 1 it be true. and il now seems to be set tied. that there is no life ir matter shat it has no sensation or intelligence and is mot substance, then it follows that all material theories concerning disease, and the method of solving all human
 problems, will have to be changed from
 a material to spiritual basis. If mat
 ter is itself merely a thing of thought
 objectified. it follows that disease in
 whatever form Is also merely the ob- justification of diseased beliefs originate in the carnar mind. and not in the body
 after they are formulated in the material or carnal mind. If this be true, and it is true beyond all possible question it then follows that the correct way to | treat disease is not through matter, nor by giving material remedies and drngs ! to the body, but by destroying the | images of disease out of the human
 mind.
 Every one must see at q glance that I disease is not itself an entity. It has no
 mind intelligence. volition, nor pres
 ence. Disease is neither self-created nor was 1t created by God. It originates in the first instance in the carnal human mind in the form of diseased thought
 and is then objectified on the body by
 the material beliefs of that same carnal mind The true way to cure it, therefore 1 is to give to the human mind some
 thing that will neutralize and destroy
 the disease producing qualities, and be- | liefs. The thing that does this is the Christ truth which Christian Science brings to the human mind and in this way Christian Science has healed very

PEPLUM IN AUTUMN FASHIONS
Adjunct in Present Seasons Modes Is Accorded Distinct Place in Cos
 tune or Gown.

When the peplum arrived, decades ago, it was intended as a charm for the top of the skirt of a gown or cos tune, a delft punching of fabric with spaces of apron-fetching indeed.
 In this seasons modes, the peplum is accorded an individual use as well as a distinct place in the costume or gown. It may be almost knee length, or may extend halfway. It may be in panels or may be gathered in ruffled semblance at the waist, attached as an apron, or plaited fiat.
 It is given the liberty of an over dress when made as a part of the gown -the waist and pep1um togeth- CT worn with a separate skirt. The peplum, as independent piece, can be adjusted with the skirts and blouses when hues harmonize-this is especial ly allowable when the peplum is black or white. Peplums in chiffon. georg- cite and crepe de chine lend them selves readily and charmingly to ad- iustments with costumes.
 A red peplum gives a picturesque note to black or white gown. A white crepe de chine gown of black georgette with a befrilled bodice is a stunning evening gown with the addi- ton Of 9 scarlet peplum.

COAL SHORTAGE
 HITS THE WORKERS
Wage Banners Appreciate Con gressman Tilson s Efforts to
 Increase the Local Supply.

That congressional action toward governmental control of the coal mines is the only thing feared by the mine owners is evidenced by the speedy re- suits achieved from Congressman John o. Tilson's investigation into the pres ent local shortage and high prices.
 The congressman has been directing his efforts towards the Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Company which supplies most of the coal to local deal CTS. An improvement in the local coal situation is alIeady anticipated as re suit of the exchange of several tele- grams between the congressman and the officials of the Philadelphia company
 Coal shipments to New Haven and its vicinity have already been increased and a general relief is looked forward to in the very near future There is no in dication of slump in price as yet but as the coal pours into the city sub stantial reduction is promised. The present price is SIS per ton and any slight lowering III price will be appre- ciated by householders.
 Prices thus far have been set accord ing to the system adopted by the fuel commission during the war. Because of this 1t will be some time before the public in general will benefit by the inn provement Ill the situation. According ly, coal has been selling at SIS per ton and in some cases with little or no profit to the dealer The latter is due to the expiration of contracts. While con- tracts were being filled, the local deal CTS received shipments of coal at $8 and $9 per ton, but as these expired the dealers were forced to seek shipments from other companies, paying as high as $14.50 per ton at the mines. The coal was distributed in the city at SIS ia ton. The more coal that can be pur- chased from the companies such as that in Philadelphia, the lower will be the price to the public. If large shipments are continually sent, the brokers will gradually be deprived of their coal dealings in this city and the price prob lem. solved.
 It is asserted that the coal situation in Connecticut is worse than that of any other state in the Union. This is due, no doubt, to the fact that as house holders and manufacturers were putting in their winter supplies during last sum- mer, an insufficient supply of coal was sent to this state. Thus situation was

threatened through this ineficiency.
 Fortunately this was foreseen by Congressman Tilson who immediately started an investigation of the exist ing situation.
 In his telegram to the president of the company Congressman Tilson point ed out that the company had supplied New Haven from April 1 to date with less than 50 per cent. of the amount of prepared anthracite normally delivered for the same period and urged that some steps be taken to relieve situa- ton that Is serious.
 In his reply the president of the company promised immediate relief now that various embargoes had been removed and stated that the company would do everything possible to relieve the situation which, he believed, would improve rapidly.
 Members of organized labor and the working people in general are very di- rect1y and disastrous1y affected by the present coal situation and they heartily appreciate Congressman Tilson's efforts.

the last he knew until he came to on

For the information of the uninitiat-

and kills game by torchlight. This me-
thod of hunting by night possesses GER
tain advantages over the usual daylight
way. in that the hunter may get closer

evidence for conviction of the guilty

The present Federal game laws pro-
hibiting the shooting of certain migra-

CAPT. ROGERS THINKS
MACS HEAD is HELL
Explorers Captain Vindeates Coast
Guard and Pays Respects to Ma
tives Who Did Him Dirt

Captain A. e. Rogers, of the il1-fated
tug Explorer which went ashort on the
Nags Head Coast on Dec. II, was in
Elizabeth City this week paying his re-
spects to the natives of Nags Head.
Capt. Rogers not only had the i'll for
tune to be wrecked on the Nags Head
Coast, but when he tried to recover
certain parts of his property which had
been salvaged from the tug he was in
dicted for housebreaking and is now
bound over to the May 1920 term of the
Superior Court of Dare County. 1t
seems that certain articles taken from
the stranded tug were in shanty on
the beach. According to Capt Rogers,
the back door of the shanty was open
and he walked in and took his things.
Capt. Rogers had nothing but praise
for the Coast Guard of Nags Head and
Kill Devil Hill and says the unfavorable
criticism of the Coast Guard given in
a letter published n this newspaper last
week was unjust. unfair and without
any basis in fact.
An investigation of the wreck by
Supt. Edgar Chadwick of the District
Coast Guard office in this city discloses
no evidence OF carelessness or neglect
upon the part of the Coast Guard. Mate
Robert B. Haley, of the Explorer also
had few words to say ON the subject
and in letter to Capt. Chadwick he
states that claims made by the Beasley
boys of Nags Head, that they rescued
Fred Moreno. the Explorers cook. were
untrue. Mate Haley says he did the
rescuing himself and the Beasley's came
in later,
1t was stated at the office of the
Coast Guard in this city the trouble at
Nags Head between certain natives and
the Coast Guard grew out of the pira-
tical greed of certain of the natives who
profit by shipwrecks. The natives look
upon shipwreck as their property and
were about to get good pickings from
the Explorer when the Coast Guard
stepped in and begun to salvage. Eff
fectiVe work of the Coast Guard saved
many valuables from the stranded tug
that would otherwise have fallen into
the hand of the eager natives. The crit
ieism of the Coast Guard came from
these thwarted beach combers, it is
said.
