! A lecture on christian Science:

was delivered last evening at First

The auditorium was filled and the

The lecturer said. in part:
Christian Science. understood and
proved, not only cures all diseases
but consistently teaches how to pre-
vent disease, and as a preventive it Is
worth even more to mortals than as
curative.
Science and Health teaches that
the procuring cause and foundation
of all sickness is fear. ignorance. or
sim (p. 411). These causes, then. are
to be prevented as well as uncovered
and destroyed.
Prevention of Fear.
prevention of fear is one Of :, /,
chief functions of Christian Sciel
and it's complete success in this
would alone justify its holy mission.
To abolish fear is to remove the ex-
citing cause of most of mortals'
troubles. Probably two-thirds of all
disaster. pain. disease and death il
caused by fear. a great poet writes:
Fear is a state of indolent weakness
and susceptibility. which makes it
easy for any foe to take possession
of us. In Egypt Napoleon visited

In the medical world that fear and
worry weaken bodily resistance to
disease. and that fear. worry and de-
pressing conditions are active causes
of poisonous secretions which pro-
duce disease.
"It. has been said of the Christian
Science assertion that there really Is

Fearlessness Is. however, something.
very different from blind bravado..
A multitude of good people will
gratefully testify that they have lost
much If not all of the fear. worry
perienced.
Christian Science Is of supreme
value to mankind because of its pure
teaching about creation and man. All
mortalS are weary of sufferings aor-
row and disease. and should be ready
to consider the giving up of what
ever causes them. This Adam man

20 Profit Killers

Where do the profits go2.
How often does a merchant
ask himself that question, and
how often can he answer ita
The Retail Merchants Assoc
citation of South Dakota, at a
recent convention, decided that
the 20 worst profit-killers in re-
tail trade are the following:
Forgotten charges.
Errors in sales checks.
Carelessness in weights and
measures.
Waste of paper and Irvine.
Cutting prices to makes sales
when craftsmanship would do the
trick.
Oyerbuying,
Buying "old line" instead Of
mutual insurance.
Unbalanced stocks.
Rats.
Careless delivery boys.
Failure to transfer custom
ers to other statesmen when they
are not satisfied.
Careless stock keeping.
Paying freight without yeri-
flying rates and weights.
Failure to take discounts.
Poor handling of light and
heat.
Incorrect figuring Of costs.
Fading merchandise in wins
dows.
Inefficient advertising.
Failure to get out seasonable
merchandise in season.
Analysing those 20 reasons
for failure to bank profit, we
find IS are directly due to
CARELESSNESS on the part of
the boss or head of department.
Only four or FIVE may be excus-
ed through a plea of ignorance.
In other words, of the 20 rea-
sons for failure, three-fourths can
be eliminated by any merchant
who puts his brain into his
business.
One - inefficient advertis-
ing-can easily be resnedied by
calling in an advertising expert
whose aid can be had for the
asking, as every successful daily
paper employs such men as a
service to their advertisers.
Only one reason can be laid
at the door of insufficient CAPT
tal-that is the failure to take
advantage of discounts. Often
this may remedied by restort-
ing to efficient advertising.

Some Blue Laws =

In Papua, large island in
Australia's part of the world,
the reformers have recently pro-
hibited the wearing of clothes.
This novel reform was decided
on after solemn consideration
of the reports of investigating
committees.
The idea is that it's harmful
for natives to wear garments in
the Papuan climate.
Some American theatrical
producers apparently have, by
precedent, been working toward
a similar program.
Ontario, Canada, has Sunday
blue laws galore. Even in
Toronto it is illegal on the Sab
bath to sell cigarets. ice cream.
etc. The printing of newspa-
pers on Sunday is prohibited,
and Sunday papers are for sale
Saturday night. No Sunday
movies. Golf is permitted.
Discussing the psychology Of
prohibitionists, Felix Adler a
year ago wrote:
''It is a trait of primitive men
to like those who are like them
selves and dislike those who are
unlike. This insistence on same
ness is particularly strong in re-
gard to way of believing and be-
having. The more intense you
are about the things you believe
or the way you behave, the more
you will be prompted to abol-
ish those who differ from you"
Compulsion always has its
inevitable reaction.

WHEN SOME ONE SHOUTED
COOLIDGE"

1t IS interesting to recall the
play of the Fates in the making Of
Calvin Coolidge the great figure
that he is.
When the Chicago convention
assembled in 1920 there was per-
haps not delegate present who
had the slightest idea that the
Massachusetts governor would be
nominated for vice president.
Senator Lenroot was the favor
lite for the honor before the con-
vention, and-after the second
place nomination had been offer
ed to and declined by Senator
Johnson, of California-during
the convention.
When it came to the nominat-
ing hour, with the convention
tired and sleepy and many Of
the "camp followers" already
homeward bound, some one shout
ed Coolidge"
1t rang through the great audi
forum like an Alpine yell and in
stantly all yes were turned to
the Massachusetts delegation.
1t did not come from three, nor
from any other eastern state
And then the voice was located
as that of the spokesman for th-
delegation from-far-away Ore
gon, away over on the Pacific
coast.
The psychology of the thing
caught the convention.
Instantly the record of Govern
or Coolidge in the Boston police
strike, almost current history at
the time, flashed through the
minds of the knowing.
They recalled the well-rememb-
bered words of the governor TO
Samuel Gompers, when he said:
There is no right to strike
against the public saftey by any
body, anywhere, any time"-
Coolidge was nominated
through Inc lmpelllng force of
impulse, swept by a sudden fervol
of admiration for nerve.
The balance is history with
which every person is familiar.
The elections of November 10
20 swept the Harding Coolidge
ticket into office.
And then the Fates again play
ed their trick.
The president died, and by the
Pickering lamplight in his faith.

We have had a week of fine
cotton weather in South Geor-
gia, and the crop shows marked
improvement.
Two important facts are to be
borne in mind by the farmer at
tempting to raise cotton under
boil weevil conditions. The first
is that if the growing season
prove generally dry and altogether
favorable to the cotton crop, the
farmer who uses poison will make
more cotton than the farmer who
uses none. The second is that if
the season prove generally unfa-
vorable-if there be frequent
rians to interfere with cultiva-
ton and cause.-the pest to multi
ply rapidly-the farmer who
uses poison intelligently and per-
sistently will make a crop, while
the farmer who fails to poison Will
make none.
Thus far the farmers have
made winning fight. They have
an excellent cotton crop prospect.
But let them not make the
costly mistake of thinking the
danger is past, for it is not. There
is still plenty of time for the pest
to do great damage.
Pick up and burn fallen
squares.
Watch closely for weevil rein
festation, and if it is discovered
that the pests in considerable
numbers have missed the poison
put out for them, POISON
AGAIN!
Don't let few showers of
rain make a gutter out of any
farmer. Rain is only a signal to
fight the harder.
Cotton of the 1924 crop is GO
ing to be worth entirely too much
money to let the boil weevil take
it, Cotton will mean good next
fall.
So continue to swat the weevil.
