A DISEASE WHICH PERSISTS

A noted divine declared recently
that among those who have known
God are they who have experienced
the godly spirit manifested through
tender ministrations in time Of suf-
fering. We are told of lepers in Bible
days being miraculously cured. Now
adays occasional cures are effected
but not by miraculous agency. The
condition Of the lepers, however, is
noticeably different from those found
in the time Of Israel. although the
Hebrews left valuable information
respecting the treatment Of the
disease. Later in the Middle Ages
the efforts to segregate and treat
lepers are thought to have contribute
ed TO the city hospital movement.
In our own country we have en-
countered no serious problems on
account of leprosy. In the Philip
pines, in Hawaii, in Porto Rico and
in the Canal Zone we have been
brought into contact with the disease
to such an extent as to require
attention. This has been given and
with good results. On the Island of
Culion in the Philippines is colony
Of 5000 and there are believed to be
many scattered over all the Philip
pines. In Hawaii there are around
900 and there is a Leprosy Investi-
cation Station stated by a physician,
bacteriologist, a chemist and
scientists devoting their time ex-
clusively to study of the disease. In
our own country there Is Federal
station at Carville, La. The patients
are we'll housed, well cared for and
the nursing facilities are as good as
may be found anywhere.
The disease is found not to be
absolutely incurable, though compar-
atively few cures have been effected.
Much In the way Of relief has been
accomplished. The use of radium
contributes materially to this. The
efficacy Of chaulmoogra oil is not
mentioned in a recent report Of
Surgeon Mccoy formerly a director
Of leprosy investigation. Presumably
this Is not found to be remedy to
the extent anticipated.
Here is a disease that has been
studied for thousands Of years, one
that once threatened the white as
well as the colored races, though now
found chiefly among the latter. After
all this time and notwithstanding
leprosy can thrive and Is COM
municable in a climate as cold as
that of Iceland, 1t is not regarded
as communicable In most of our own
country and in most Of Europe for
reasons not vet understood.

taking the four years course at
Wilton Academy he entered Cobb
Divinity School, where he took a fun
course in Biblical training. He
taught school number OF years and
supplied the Baptist church at Moose
Hill a period of two and a half
years. He began his first settled
pastorate in Phillips, where he re-
manned five and a half years. From
there he was called to Springvale
Baptist church. where he served as
pastor ten years and six months. He
resigned his pastorate there and took
up the work in Pressure Isle, Sep
TENDER 4, 1914. serving his longest
pastorate more than IL years. Dur
ing his early ministry in Pressure
Isle the Baptist and the Free Baptist
churches united and becan = the
United Baptist church. Mr.. Ranger.
who had served the Free Baptist
church, was retained as pastor of the
United Church. The union was
very friendly one and has proven
very successful in every way. Rev.
Mr.. Ranger was instrumental in the
organization of the Pressure Isle En-
forcement League. believing that
good citizenship and the Christian
religion go hand in hand. AS a
preacher he. is a strong fundamen-
talist, a deep thinker and logical as
well as eloquent sermoniZer. He has
great resourcefulness and is termed
a ready speaker on any occasion.

afraid he never would have awaken

never would have seen his happy
little rabbit nephew on that wonder

Uncle John Hare is wonderful

JUST FOR FUN

The Hon. Fulton ]. Redman ap-

Immediately after emerging from
under the landslide that swept his
opponent into the U. S. Senate. One
should not be hypercritical Of the
fellow embarrassed by digging the
debris of landslide out of his ha-
bilments and the ornamentation of
his facial contour, including his
ears. So what If he then did say:
I've just begun to fight!
Surely that was much more human
than his comment at this time that
he entered the contest Just for the
fun Of it,. OF course he would not
have us suppose that he really got
any fun out Of $4,000 plurality for
his opponent, so the only inference
left is that he enjoys Senatorial in
vestigations, that he is responsive to
Utilization from that quarter and
hopes by such means to make it I'M
comfortable for Senator Gould.
1t might be we'll to apprise the
public as to just what is that in
which Mr.. Redman's fun" consists.
Not that people generally will be-
grudge him all the fun there may
be in receiving this year 66,203 few
er votes than he received two years
ago in his contest with Senator
Fernald. On the other hand he
must not expect the dear people"
to conclude that all this came about
by reason Of Republican "corrup-
ton. That would be- too absurd
really to be funny. However, we
guess Mr.. Redman is welcome to all
the fun he may get out of the situa-
ton, though it would seem permits
sible to intimate to him that Maine
people are not accustomed to have
aspirants from Ellsworth. New York
or New Jersey, come down here ask
ing for support just by way of
amusing themselves. Nor perhaps
would it be quite fair to have Maine
think Of Redman's candidacy as a
joke.

the automobile, club dues and other
nuisance taxes, and abolition of the
tax on the sales of products on ex-
changes. If it were once brought
out on the floor it could be amend
ed to appeal TO still other con-
stituencies. Senator Simmons is al
ready calling for new cuts on the
smaller income-tax brackets. The
hope would be to make the bill at
tractive to enough interests to in
sure passage, and in its final form
it would probably have about as
much merit as grab bag bills usually
have. But if the Republicans sue
coed in blocking all action, the sur
plus will automatically be used to
reduce the debt. That is the wises,
and most far sighted use possible.
The Democrats would do web,
even now, to acquiesce in the debt
reduction plan. II year hence 1t
