PAPERS ARE BEST
Gospel by News. Advertising Is
Backed by Episcopal Church.
The NOn-Church GOer Is Thus
Most Easily Reached, Belief.

New York, June 22-Newspaper
advertising to further the spread of
the gospel is strongly advocated by
the publicity department of the Epis-
ccpaI church, which has brought out
its recommendations, after a thoro
study of the question of advertising,
in a pamphlet entitled "A Handbook
of Church Publicity" issued under the
authorization of the national council
of the church.
NO, one can look at the newspapers
and magazines and doubt that it pays
to advertise" said the Rev. Robert F.
Gibson, executive secretary of the pub
licity department and author of the
textbook. why should not this
method OF such proven efficiency be
used for the propagation of the Cos
pei? Advertising is not necessarily
sensational. 1t merely seems to be so
because we are not accustomed to it
for church purposes"
One of the striking features of the
book is Mr.. Gibson's strong advocacy
of the fullest use by the churches of
the advertising columns of the daily
press not only for mere church no
tices,s but for spreading the Gospel
among the masses
I'VE have thought of publicity in
the newspape as merely method
OF giving public notice of a service or
a meeting or of making public the
account of something that has taken
place" says Mr.. Gibson. I'VE have
thought too much of building up the
attendance at q service or of exploit
ing persons or organizations. We are
only beginning to think of church
publicity in the public press as evan
gelistic in purpose. The newspapers
themselves are really far ahead of the
churches in their recognition of this
evangelistic opportunity. Many edi-
tors are convinced that the problems
of the world will never be solved
rightly until Christian principles are
applied and that therefore it IS one
of the functions of the public press
to present and apply Christian prln-
ciplcs.
Advertising with an evangelistic
purpose" says Mr.. Gibson, where the
aim is to reach the unchurched, must
De in the newspa pers."

DRUGS ARE CRIMINAL CAUSE
Kill the Morphine Traffic and Crime
Is Nearly Killed.

Chicago, June ga cure of NOR
phinism would decrease criminality,
according to c. Edouard Sandoz,
medical director of the municipal
court of Boston.
'Morphinism, in a majority of our
morphine cases. is the main determin-
ing cause of criminality," Mr.. Sandoz
declared in a report published in the
journal of the American Institute of
Criminal Law and Criminality.
t'Weaning is possible in practically
every case. We have no medical in
situations in which addicts without
means are kept long enough to have
a chance to be cured Under these
conditions a sentence of several
months. the longer the better, is the
best thing that can happen to them.
There is need of special institutions.
Almost all our case are below par
from the point of view of economic
efficiency. Now, since morphine is
more essential for addicts than any
thing else, there is no practicable al
tentative for those who do not have
the means and do not get cured but to
take to illegitimate ways of getting
money.
"A trait which Is remarkable in our
morphinists is the esprit de corps.
I'm spite of the widely spread belief
that many alcoholics would take to
morphine after prohibition, have not
vet seen such a case"

TO RELIEVE CONGESTION
Malcomb Gray Has Plan to Help State
Institutions.

Institutions
Remuneration of county poor farms,
as a means of handling the overflow
of inmates from the state charita BILE
by Malcolm Gray, secretary of the
state board of administration.
report made public recently by
Secretary Gray showed that the great
est capacity for the twelve state hos
pitfalls and penal institutions is $500,
while the present population of these
institutions is approximately 1000.
and many inmates have been neces-
sarily paroled to make room for the
more violent cases.
The burden of caring for the
states needy population has been
shifted to the state hospitals" Secre-
tary Gray said today, discussing meth
DDS for relieving the present crowded
has resulted in overcrOwding the hos
pitfalls and abandonment in many
counties of the county poor farms
There are many minor cases in the
hospitals that could be handled just
as efficiently and satisfactorily on. the
county farms"
Secretary Gray pointed out that last
year there were thirty counties in
which poor farms were not in opera
ton, altho many of these counties own
counties, the poor farms had but one
inmate, and l.. seventy-six counties,
there were less than ten inmates on
poor farms The total population of
all poor farms in the state last year
was only S76. he said, while the
amount expended for these farms
amounted to S254.236. The population
on the farms was distributed as fol-
lows: Insane, seventy-two; feeble
minded, 211: children inmates, thir-
teen; other paupers. $50.
The chief reason for shifting the
burden of caring for these classes of
people to the state institutions" Gray
said, has been that the expense of
Keeping such patients in the state hos
pitfalls is less than on the county farms.
But the crowded conditions of the
state institutions demand that more
patients be cared for in the counties
and it may become necessary for the
state board to require the counties to
assume more of this work"

Don't Spoil Your Child's
Hair By Washing 1t

When you wash your childs hair be
careful what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkaH, which is very injurious, as Id
dries the scalp and makes the hahn
brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats anything else all to
pieces.
Two or three teaspoonsfuls of Mulsi-
fled in a cup or glass with a little
warm water is all that is required.
Simply moisten the hair with water,
and rub it in. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoro-
ly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly ana evenly, and is soft.
fresh looking. bright, fluffy. wavy and
easy to handle. Besides, it loosens
and takes out every particle of dust,
dirt and dandruff. You can get Null
sified at any drug store. and a few
ounces will last everyone in the family
for months. Be sure your druggist
gives you Mulsified.-Adv.

across his lands.
His estate was estimated at various
times between 100000 and 7O.0OO.OO0
acres, but it is fact that he owned
and controlled for years 100000
acres on which there were thousands
of horses. cows and sheep. At that
time he was the largest dand owner in
the world, his friends declared, and
600.
But He Chascs Villa Yet.
Villas men did inestimabIe damage
to the generals estate. Terrazas lost
houses. land and thousands of head of
stock His followers were killed and
all he possessed and controlled was
thrown into confusion by the Villistas
and the bandits which followed Villa
from 1910 to 1920.
When he returned in 1920. he found
that his estate. long left idle, had been
confiscated. or appropriated under the
agrarian law The appropriation Of
government carries out its decree he
viii lose practically all he has. except
his palatiaI homestead.
As far as can be learned, General
Terrazas is the sole survivor of the
battle of Chihuahua City. famous in
the annals of Mexican history.
General Terrazas had twelve chill
dren and most of them are living. His
wife died in Los Angeles in 1919 at the
age of Sc.
The general declares he will live to
be 100. He prays. he said. to outIive
his arch enemy. Francisco Villa-so IN
the next world he can "rebuke him
for his sins" Villa is not so yet, and
Is much stronger than Terrazas.
