DRUG TAKING ON THE WANE A distinguished - pia.lvlUltjr UI New York City not a v J iwilK BKU wrote as follows: Whether we would hava it an or ., it is evident to the of the trend of medical events, that a new era in ther : peutics haa haen irunrr.,ni.j and entered upon. For years, our pro fession was reproached with the taunt from the lips of the criti:al if not un friendly laky, that while surgery had made rapid and brilliant strides, thera peutics had stood still. It was measur ably true. The era of slavish dependence upon drugs is raridlv civinor nlr. t ad vanced therapeutics methods in the treat ment of a large and increasing number of diseases of the human body. No matter whether we deplore it or rejoice because of it, the fact nevertheless remains that the propulsively progressive spirit of the age appears to be back of these move ments and actually forcing what may be very properly called advanced therapeutics upon the attention of our profession." Without a doubt. Osteopathy has done more toward eliminatine druo- treatment and bringing about rational methods than any other single agent. The remarkable percentage of cures accomplished by it, even in cases which have defied everv other treatment, simply cannot be over looked; and even quite a percentage of medical practitioners, who are naturallv somewhat loath to recognize a system which has been bold enough to declare its independence, are now sending patients to Osteopaths. The system is oei..g even more fully recognized, however, bv those not of the medical profession; and the fact of its having received legislative rec ognition in a larce maioritv of the states of the Union, coupled with its good work everywhere is making it rapidly take its rank as the foremost healing method of the day.

' CHURCHES OF LA dMIWf UMlTf III OFFERING TI1AMKS Thanksgiving day was generally observ ed amons the churches of the eitv vUr. day. A union service of the Methodist, Baptist. Presbyterian and Christian churches was held in the Christian church yesterday morning. This was the annual service at which the churches ofTer up thanks and follow their thanks with a donation to the city's poor. Presiding Elder J. D. Gillilan conducted the services, which were wholly along Thanksgivrg lines. In the evening, the Presbyterian church was the meeting plae of the union services Rev. Gibson of the Baptist church delivering the sermon. Following is a brief outline of Rev. Gibson's sermon on the theme "What hath God Wrought? ' We are .iving. we are dwelling in a grand and awful time. In an age of ages. "Count ymir bleasmps and it will surprise you what the Lord hath done." Because of what God has wrought in our age. we stand defferentiated from all other ages. , The last hundred years have been defferentiated from all others in history because of: First, Progress in civil gov ernment. Our age, and especially so by the Americans' achievment as a republic decrees that every despotism, monarchy and empire shall fall and on their vacan cies shall rise a government for the people. Second; We have a marked progress ir. invention, discovery, and thought. Along economical lines, the modern convenience of which we think so little; in the medical work world, anticep tics, anesthetics and osteopathy are on thirty-six years old. Inventions have in the last one hundred years, perfected the steamboat,- the locomotive, the e'ectric cars, the bicycle, the automobile, the tele graph, trans-atlan tic cables of steel, the harvesters, printing press and sewing machine. M?ans of lightning, wireless telegraph airships. We are living in an age of expansion. An hour or two scent in the study of American history will refresh the forget ful memory of the expansion by the American people. Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippines are only tne latest aoditions to our territory. Educationally, this age has made won derful strides. In 1800 we had eight 10 EUROPE BT iScrlpiis New Association) Quebec, Nov. 30 The proposed new route to Europe via Hudson Bay is at tracting considerable attentio.: in the Canadian northwest.

Greatest of all expansion, it our broadening out a:ong religious linos. In 1800 we h;d 866.000 protestants, now there are twenty-two millions. Then there was one protestant to 1 45 Inhab itants; now there are four. The Method ist church had. in 1800, 66,000 members; now theie are 7,000,000. The Baptists may almost duplicate this rate of increase. In 1804 the first Bible h.-mse was insti tuted. Today, the American Bible Society puts out per year, 1,000,000 copies of the Holy Bible. But with all these advances and ex pansions and developments characterizing our age, we need men of sterling qualities. We have many perils, paramount among which is the liquor traffic. What the a or Id needs, what America needs, is men, men who are men. EP1SCOHALS' lHAPiitGiViNu The Episcopate held thanksgiving ser vices in St. Paul's church dur.ng ' the morning. The rector's address was based on some of the thoughts suggested by the Presi dent's thanksgiving proclamation. After pointing out the great national prosperity and blessings which the nation at present enjoys, he emphasized the point that the nation must be mindful of the scource whence all all blessings are derived. He reminded his hearers that if we forget that it is primarily to God we owe thanks, then we would be like Neb uchadnezzar, and assemble the glory solely to ourselvesand become self center ed. What we must do is to recognize that we are stewards for God and to use our riches for the good of all and en deavor to promote peace, justice and good will among men. We should remember the words of th prophet Micah, and ever act on them. "What doth the Lord thy God require of thee? But to do justly, to love mercy and walk humbly with thy God." CATHOLIC CHURCH The Sacred Heart Academy was a little premature, but nevertheless had ap propriate services. The evening preced ing Thanksgiving, the students in the school rendered a Thanksgiving program. Yesterday the usual mass was observed. HUDSON BAY ing the fact that the season in the Bay only lasts from July 1 to October 1 the shorter railroad haul will give such in ducetients that a heavy traffic can easily be developed. Huge storage ele vators will have to be erected at the end of the railroad lines but the added insur ance and storage rates will be offset by tne great decrease in treignt rates. It is predicted that the route, if found service. ace will eventually handle a large amount of traffic of the western states of America as well as that of Canada.
