Christian Science demands of Its followers a wholesome respect for, and obedience to. law and order, just as it demands of them' a full and fair appreciation of the rights of all men. The fundamental rule in the-teaching and practice of Christian Science is tha golden rule, "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." That Christian Scientists do live up to this teaching is attested by the statement of the city health officer when he declares in effect that dur ing the two and a half years he has held that office "the Christian Scien tists have rendered loyal support in reporting contagious diseases and in observing general health laws and regulations." Christian Science asks no favdrit ism. It is ready and willing cheer fully to accept entire responsibility for the result of its teaching. It points with much satisfaction to a rotable record of good work. Through its loving ministrations the sinning are reformed, the sick are made well, and contagions are healed. In fact, ChrlLlian Science uncovers and de stroys evil of whatever name or na ture.. In the words of our revered leader, Mary Baker Eddy, on page 97 of Sci ence and Health: "Those who discern Christian Science will hold crime, in check. Tn-sy will aid in the ejection of error. They will maintain law and order, and cheerfully await the cer tainty of ultimate perfection." A. O. FREEL. LINN MUDS ARE TOPIC GEORGE QTJAYLE IS SPEAKER AT MEETING IX LEBANON. Georjre M.

The report of the case of child of a Christian Science practi tioner having attended school while biokerr out with smallpox has re ceived so much publicity that one nat urally wonders if this is the only child that haa gone out in nubli while affected with what the health officer might call contagion. Thi case has been featured in the news papers in a way likely to give the im picssion that only a Christian Science child will do such a thing. Little, however, has been said where this child contracted tbe dis ease, or of the large number of Sim irar cases of contagion that have developed during recent months I Portland. Several other schools have been closed and fumigated because smallpox was discovered in them, but these cases have only received Dass ing mention, while the one case af fecting Christian Scientists has re ceived the widest publicity. When one case of smallpox is mis taken for a case of poison by a Chris tian Scientist, large headlines appear in the newspapers. This one case heralded far and wide, while not word is spoken concerning" the fact that about halt of all the diagnose made in our finest hospitals, under the eye of the most skilled physician and under the most favorable clr cumstances obtainable, are acknowl edged by these same skilled physi clans to be incorrect. Now, it is not the purpose of thi article to ask for special favors for Christian Scientists or to pose Chris linn Scientists as martyrs. On th other hand, if a Christian Scientist fail to show a wholesome respect fo the .'i'Ms of otiior r'-nn'r b should be ueld, to answer for his. neglect Jus HO FAIR HEAD IS OUT PERSONNEL AND ACTIVITIES OF BCREAC ARE SUSPENDED Commissioner Cannon Puts Action Up to Governor Control by State Is In Question. BOISE. Idaho. Nov. 29. (Special.) Miles Cannon, state commissioner or agriculture, has notified Governor Davis that he nas suspended me per sonnel and activities of the state fair bureau, including the services of O. P. Hendershot as its head. In a statement concerning the af fair. Mr. Cannon set out that he is un able to determine " the fair bureau's legal connection with his office and that Hendershot has failed to report properly as to receipts and disburse ments of fair funds. A report submitted by Hendershot giving a general outline of the fair's financial status, is in euch form that It "will not admit of a thorough legal auditing as contemplated in a con tract" held with the association. Can non says in his letter. The matter has been submitted to Governor Davis for approval or dis approval, Mr. Cannon said. Hender shot is out of town on otncial duties, and his side of the controversy could not be learned. That he intends to give the matte thorough sifting before approvin or disapproving uannon s summary action, was indicated by Governo Davis today in the following brie statement: "1 have nothing to say on this mat ter. I intend to ask Mr. Hendershot for a detailed statement before takln up the matter for definite consider ation." . Mr. Cannon said today that the supervisory control his department is supposed to exercise over the state fair has been so vague that he deemed it best to suspend the bureau until it can be decided whether the state fair ts a, private institution, or whether he has the power to control it, as he pre sumes he has. That he will be able to enforce his decision to oust Hendershot eems quite probable, since the state con tract with the fair association pro vides that the association will employ whoever Cannon employs as fair director. en tfou listen to me KNOWN FOR TONE." PATK5TED you realize that music can be actually reproduced as originally sung or played. This is the magic of the Stradivara sound board. Sound Board Principle Correctly Applied When the Stradivara plays you hear only true musical tone. As in the creation of the original music the sound board is responsible for this tone quality. In the Stradivara the sound waves, carried from the record down, the wood tone pas sage, strike against the sound board, and are thus again trans formed into tones of clear, ringing quality.
