TIA square miles, and the water
area-excIusive Of the area in the
Great Lakes, the Atlantic, the

A TALK WITH A NEW IBERIA
MAN.

Main Street, Tells His
Experience. ~'rx,--.,

There is nothing like a talk with
one of our own citizens for giving
hope and encouragement to the
anxious sufferer from the dread
kidney disease. We, therefore,
give here an interview with New
iberia man:
"A number Of years ago I was
troubled with my back, sharp
pains darted through my kidneys
very frequently and when !
worked in a stopped position any
length of time, it was hard for me
to straighten up" says Mr.. Moss.
"My kidneys were disordered and
caused me much annoyance. ]
had those dull, achy feelings all
over my body until | began using
Doan's Kidney ills. Doan s
helped me very quickly and when
/ had used them for a few weeks,
they entirely cured me of the
trouble. | have never had any
return of it since that time and am
glad to give this endorsement"

An Exchange says: Good
motherhood calls for a great deal
Of sacrifice, but it never calls for
the sacrifice of a reasonable hus-
bands happiness. The most APP
preciative and fond fathers like to
talk Of something sometimes be-
side "the baby" They like to 60
to places sometimes without the
baby. Yet many a good woman
fails to understand her husband s
feelings in this matter. She hui
initiates him by accusing him of
jealousy of his own children. She
forgets that she took the duties Of
motherhood. To be sure she must
give her children tender care and
attention. ANY woman who did
not would be a monstrosity. But
there are times when personal
presence and advice would mean
heaven to her husband while to
the children it is no more than
they have always had. "

to believe that certain eastern or
western States are farther north
than some Of the central States
that are actually in the same latI-
tudc. For this reason. one who is
asked which extends farther south.
Florida or Texas, is very likely to
say Texas" but, as stated, the
mainland of Florida is nearly 30
miles farther south than the south
ernmost point in Texas. For the
same reason, when we consider
the geographic position of coun-
tries south of the United States
we find that errors are likely to
be made in estimating position or
extent in longitude. Few realize
that the island of Cuba, for eX-
ample, if transpOsed directly
north would extend from New
York City to Indiana, or that Ho-
bana is farther west than CleVe-

If does not mean that its advocates would denounce all amusement. as the Puritans are accused of having done. on that day. Certainly 1t Is onE the very narrow minded who declare Gnat everything partaking Of the form of pleasure should be barred on the Sabbath.
 The point made by the broader minded is that such amusements as are indulged in on Sunday should not prevent the giving of a certain time each Sabbath to Divine worship. And fl is believed that this is the correct position for a Christian community 10 take.
 pr. Manning has a way of making startling statements which has brought severe criticism. In order to speak with force a man is sometimes inclined to go to. extremes. He re- fuses to do the thing that is neces- sary in this country in order to gain the greatest good. He is apt to appear to refuse to accept q compromise.
 There is no reason to denounce movements to urge a strict observ- ance of Sunday. Such movements are needed provided they are not fanau- cal.
 But such strict enforcement of sun day that will prevent or denounce all sorts of pleasures, many of which are beneficial and helpful. would. as Dr. Manning has said. do far more to drive religion out of the hearts of people than draw them toward it." Dr Manning took this sand with the modifying expression that religion should not be neglected on that day. It should he put a bit stronger than this. Sunday should be essentially a day for religious observance Amuse- ments which do not interfere with the ideal of that day and which are not inconsistent with the spirit permeat- I ing that day. should not he denounced.

Rev William r. Manning. rector of Trinity Church. New York CitY yesterday denounced the Blue Law sunday" Itc said. for instance that he did not object to Sunday baseball games.
 The matter Is uf especaI intcre st herc in New England. and of especial interest at this time. X little over three hundred years ago the Pilgrims. not the PurItans. landed at Plymouth Rock. pr. Manning said nothing about the Pilgrim fathers. He did mention the Puritans. He declared that one of the puritans' great faults was to rule amusemcnts out of Sunday
 Dr. Manning, according to reports. opposed any church or civic move for the more strict enforcement of Sun day. asserting that such movements spring from a misguided understand - ing or Christianity
 Tt Is believed that pr. Manning is correct in many oc his assertions re- garding n more strict enforcement of Sunday. Moreover it is believed that many persons who advocate a greater church attendance and d greater in- tcrest in matters religious agreee with him. .- .-.-.. But it is possible to take a middle

HoovER's ASSURANCE

New Britain has seen the success of Charity organization which com- pines all bodies working along that line. When one gives to 1t. one gives in manner that will do the most good. The money given will be used where 1t is the most needed.
 The organization Of this association in New Britain came about through the hopelcssness the residents felt when asked to give to this or that cha rity-Lhey did not know whether they had given to aid a certain chari- ty or not. The united orga nization settles the question except when some special drive comes up. which every enc understands. such us the drive which begins today for the erection of new hospital.
