together too simple, and to be de-
void of heroics. The statement,
Notwithstanding, is true; and evil
dence is not lacking even in mater
ial lines for it's support. DR.. G. A.
Jordan, secretary of the st. Louis,
Mo, board of health, few years
ago supplied the newspapers Of that
city with statement giving his
opinion regarding an epidemic
which then threatened that city.
Said DR.. Jordan: 1.-THE epedimic is
more psychological than actual"
What does that mean? 1t means
that "the epidemic is more mental
than actual" This is what Chris
tan Science has been reiterating
and reiterating for the past so years
and more. The voice is that of one
crying in the wilderness: 1.-The cpl
demic is more psychological than
actual" There is the mental germ,
DR.. S. Weir Mitchell is reported to
have stated that back of every
disease is a cause, and that cause no
m edicine can reach" Why cannot
medicine reelch the cause? Chris
tian Science shows the reason for
this to be that disease is mental,
and it is perfectly obvious, even to a
layman, that a material medicine
cannot reach a mental cause. DR..
Wilfred Fl. Kellogg, secretary Of the
California state board of health,
compiled a pamphlet concerning the
epidemic of the year 1918. Sum
ming up the entire situation after
an exhaustive study of the subject,
DR.. Kellogg uses these frank words:
1--WE are just as much in the dark
as ever regarding the microbal cause
OF influenza" Why, one is forced
to ask, after 5000 years and more
of material medication, 'just as
mudh in the dark as ever?" The
interests of humanity and progress
compel the question. Must not the
answer be, because the search for
the cause of disease has been always
in matter? Can anyone believe for
moment that If the cause of di-
sease is in matter the patient efforts
of scientific thought for 5000 years
could result only in darkness?
1t should be apparent, that only
as disease is seen to be mental, a
belief of the mortal mind, is it pos
sible to heal disease through the
operation of divine Truth and Love
which reverses and removes the be-
lief of the mortal mind and neutral

ICES its descendant effects? Chris
tian Science declares disease to be
mental, belief OF the mortal mind
which is dissipated and healed by
the unfolding idea of Truth and
Love. A gentleman who was grad
uated from a medical school in this
country twenty7four years ago was
healed in Christian Science of a
painful ailment which his former
methods had failed to relieve. Since
that time this man has devoted his
activities to the field of Christian
Science This gentleman had occa-
sion recently to revisit the medical
school from which The was gradu-
ated. Upon entering the hall of BIZ
ology, he found roomful of stu
dents, each engaged with his own
microscope carrying out bacteriolo-
gical tests and examinations. After
being introduced to the professor in
charge, the visitor said: Professor,
how far have you gotten with this
sort of work." Said the professor,
what do you mean?" We'll"

the exact nature or form of the

moment, you came around again in

Material Theories Inconsistent.


The statement is sometimes made
that Christian Scientists ignore dis
ease. The fact is, however, that
Christian Scientists do not ignore
either the disease or the germ. The
Christian Scientist knows that the
only germ of disease is mental
germ. Some persons may not ac-
Icept this statement. They will in
sist upon having germ that they
can hunt and capture, and punish.
One cannot, however, get entirely
away from the suspicion that the
reason such persons reject the state
ment regarding the mental germ is
because it demands a personal and
permanent mental housekeeping;
and because, also, it seems to be al

Systems of religion and of medi-

they were founded either upon the

the unworthy and degrading belief
that evil is reality with power ex-

OCCURRENCES OFLONG AGO
ITEMS OF INTEREST BOILED DOWN FROM
THE WAUSAU PILOT 80 YEARS AGO

Mrs. Chas. Winton, and Miss Margaret
Stewart.
Last Wednesday afternoon as the
two little children, aged three and six
years, of p. +. Curran, we're playing
in the yard near several barrels of
dry ashes, they managed in some way
to upset one Of the barrels, the con-
tents of which completely buried the
younger child. Mr.. Curran, who was
working short distance from the
place where the children were play
ing, hearing the cries of the younger
child ran to the place as quickly as
possible. Seeing nothing but one
child and heap of ashes, he grasped
the situation in moment and diving
down into the pile OF ashes, drew
out the other child, who was almost
suffocated.
The accumulated filth of winter that
now covers Third street is a disgrace
to the community. We have no sewers
to assist the spring rains in carrying
off this filth and it lies fostering be-
meath the glare of the hot sun.

WRITES PRIZE
WINNING ESSAY
DAUGHTER OF AMY ROSEN-
BERRY MATHEWS WINS
$500 PRIZE

Miss Janet Mathews, OF Escanaba,
Mich, the twelve year old daughter Of
Mrs. Amy Rosenberg Mathews. for
merly of this city, las just been
awarded $500 prize as the Michigan
winner of the Chicago Tribune's
George Washington essay contest.
The Pilot was informed of Miss
Mathews success through letter re-
ceived by a Wausau friend from Miss
Eloise Judson, formerly teacher in
the Wausau High scnool, who is now
at Escanaba. II am sending you a
clippig from one of our papers,"
writes Miss Judson. Janet Mathews
is the laughter of former Wausau
woman-Mrs. Mathews. formerly Amy
Rosenberg. The essay shows that the
little girl is certainly au exceL tional
writer for one of her age"
The Michigan paper lauds Miss
Mathews work in the following arti-
Gle: From earliest childhood, Es-
canaba's winner Of Michigan's first
prize in contest participated in by
shown an unusual aptitude for COM
position. Her manuscript for the
Tribune contest was prepared as a
regular part OF her school work and
was forwarded to the contest editor
without corrections or alterations of
any kind. The recognition won by the
child proved complete surprise to
her parents. but all Of her teachers
for the past few years have known
|of the talent she possesses and her
victory was not unexpected. In cele-
bration of the victory won by mem
Der of the class. the pupils of the
seventh grade of the Franklin school,
participated with Miss Mathews and
her teacher in an impromptu and jol-
LITIGATION following the close of their
regular school work yesterday"
Miss Mathews essay follows:
"The word Americanism is of re-
cent coinage, but the fire of the spirit
was kindled long ago in the hearts of
the American colonists. Standing out
in bold relief against a background Of
brave countrymen, we see Virginian,
George Washington.
Graded as the colonists were In
the forests of America, and surround
ed by revengeful Indians, there was
developed physical courage in young
Washington. Likewise in later years,
when he saw his fellow countrymen
overburdened by tyranny and wronged
by England, he also attained strong
moral courage.
From boyhood TO manhood Wash
ington has been model OF service to
others, not for reward, but for the
self-satisfaction of being able to as
sist. Signal among these many occa-
sions was his acceptance Of the office
of commander in chief of the conti-
mental army without the least re-
muneration, only hoping that he might
fulfill his task successfully.
Perhaps the secret Of the favorable
results obtained in his undertakings
was that he depended not upon his
own strength but upon the st rength
Of God How often we find him In
earnest prayer at the time Of a crisis!
Let us, as Americans, be ever
mindful Of the example of true Amer
icanism set us by George Washing
ton"

STATE BOARD PROMOTES
EDUCATION FOR
DISABLED

-Four hundred crippled wisconsin
men and women are at the present
time being assisted and trained in vo-
cational lines through the efforts of
the state board of vocational educa-
ton, according to Miss Melba Roach,
assistant state supervisor of indus
trial rehabilitation, who spent Tues
day and Wednesday in Wausau. Miss
Roach. who has been in Industrial re-
Mobilization since last summer, was
formerly connected with the indus
trial commission of wisconsin as
factory inspector
Her visit 20 WauSau was made for
the purpose of Informing local agen-
Tcies of this new undertaking of the
state board, made possible by the ac-
ton of the last legislature. In re-
habiiitation OF civilians, the state has
the cooperation of the federal gov
ernment, which appropriates an
amount equal to whatever the state
may set aside for the work. Civilians
who are paraIytic, who nave lost a
leg or an arm. or who are otherwise
physically disabled, and who are un-
able to enter the vocation to which
they aspire, may through the state
board be enabled to obtain vocational
training. Also every effort is made
to restore their health and to fit them
physically for life.
1T can only be pointed out that the
rehabilitation of the disabled, wheth-
er the result of accident, or disease,
is state of public service demanded
alike by economic, industrial and hui
manitarian considerations Miss

Roach reviewed the progress made by
the state board in the case of GER
tain individuals, many of whom have
already been placed in shape to earn
a good living. In pamphlet on re-
habilitation, George Hambrecht, for
merly of the industrial commission,
declares; Public opinion has been the
disabled mans greatest obstacle. His
