said that the investigators found an
alarming number of families which
seldom or never attend religious ser
vices. While a majority of these ara
classed as merely indifferent, many
agnostics and atheists were found.
The unbelievers are largely of the ed
ucated and well-to-do clas3. Physi
cians are notoriously lacking in faith
in supernatural religions, and the old
Spanish proverb,- "Where there,, are
three doctors there are two "athe
ists," Is said to be nearly true of
Chicago. To a lesser extent," lawyers
and educators' and other professional
men are indifferent or actively oppos
ed to religion. . . '
Some of , the religious investigators
allege that John D. Rockefeller's Uni
versity of Chicago is a "hotbed of
unbelief." Chicago has a' number of
agencies which carry on an active
warfare on Christianity and all other
religions. Among these it is alleged
are the American Secular Union and
Freethought Federation, with head
quarters in this city? the Independent
Religious Society, of which the well
known scholar and orator, Dr. Man
gasarian M. Mangasarian, Is the lead
er; the Col. Robert O. Ingersoll, and
a member of scientific and materialis
tic seoieties. Some of the wealthiest
and most Influential people of the city
are said to support the work of these
organizations.
The American Secular Union, With
the assistance of a number of affiliat
ed societies, has long centered its ac
tivities on preventing tfie use of the
Bible In the public schools. Official of
the union allege ythat portion of. the
Scriptures are unfit for children, to
read, and a leaflet has been prepared
setting forth chapters and verses.
Whenever .Bible reading or religious
exercises of any kind are held in pub
lic schools, the union announces Hs
Intention to distribute these leaflets
among children and parents unless
the practice is Immediately stopped.
It Is asserted that thousands of copies
or Thomas Paine's "Age of Reason,"
Ingersol's lectures and other popular
attacks on Christianity and the Bible
are distributed every year in Chicago.

- C. W. N'oyes reported to the Obser
ver today that a China Pheasant flew
against his house on Adams avenue
and broke Its neck. Mr. Xoyes denies
that a gun was In sgiht or that any
method was used to Induce the pheas
ant to commit the rash act. The con
crete fact remains,, however, that the
pheasant is dead and not a trace of
a shot can be found. It was an usu
ally, large bird, weighing about Beven
pounds. -

Catch the
:::Cold
In a strict sense you do not
catch cold, but rather the cold
catches you.
It catches you when your vi
tality Is low, when the circula
tion Is Impeded by. sudden
draughts of cold air, etc.
The right thing to do Is to re
verse things and catch the cold
in the start, and stop it before
It has you firmly caught.
