Real Leaders in the Churches United in Con demnation of Prohibition Prelates, Priests and Pastors Raise Their Voices in the Cause of Temperance, Not for "Reform by Law" Read What National Thinkers Say: - "To drink Is no Bin. Jesus Christ drank. To keep a saloon Is no sin. And any policy that claims In the name of Christ, or does not claim His name, that deals with the well nigh universal taste of man for alcohol ON THE BASIS OF LAW AND ORDER ALONE, cannot oommend Itself to the best Intelligence, and Is doomed to fall." REV. DR. RAINSFORD, . Bt George's Episcopal Church, New Tork City. "Is It right to drink wine and beerT It Is right for each Individual to decide that question for himself, and for the community to put such regulations on the sale of wine ana beer, AND ONLY SUCH, as are necessary to prevent popular i and pubuo disorder. kmy. ijiauin "The church of Ood has never declared the moderate us of alcohol to be a sin; this seems to be left, with other things, as open matters of Christian Liberty." THE REV. CANON WEST, D. D. - "As for those who endeavor to enlist Scripture .n their side by maintaining that the wine mentioned In Scripture was not an Intoxicating liquor, they must either be them selves very Ignorant and silly If they really oelleve It, or must be fostering a pious fraud In the hope of deluding tne simp la . . under false pretences." ..,- . ARCHBISHOP WHATELY. "All true Americans, It seems to me, ought to strive to maintain and perpetuate American principles. State-wiao prohibition violates and local option supports this principle, therefore I am opposed to state-wide prohibition an In tavor of local option." BISHOP DANIEL S. TUTTLB, . Presiding Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church In tne United States. "I am opposed to prohibition by statute. t would rather see America free first, and then have It s cltlsens y we Its free do. for saoral ends." . REV. 8. PARKS CAUMAN. Brooklyn, N. x.

Ir-i'i T ''llliirTlliiiii'C"' mi It. Many Usee and the Numerous Proc esses In It. Making. That common little object, the dry cell, has played an Important part In the advancement of scientific research. There are few articles manufactured that are used In so many ways as the dry battery, yet It Is by no means a recent discovery. The automobile, motorboat, wireless telegraphic apparatus, Christmas tree festoons, electric toys and trains, elec tric engines, local bell, telephone and annunciator systems, miniature light lng equipments, medical batteries and vibrators, electric alarm clocks, bur glar alarms, automatic door openers, safe cracking devices and infernal ma' chines In their many forms, devices for setting oft dynamite explosions In excavations, the various testing out fits and electric clock service, to say nothing of the divers ways that it Is used In scientific experiments, are a few of the most obvious of Its appli In Its manufacture there are about as many processes as are necessary In the making of a tungsten lamp, and the machinery process that makes It and compounds the ingredients that go into It Is wonderfully Interesting. So exact is the formula placed Into each shell that when completed a bat tery will register up to a uniform am. perage. The highest known amperage In the manufacture of a dry cell twenty-six. The exact origin of the dry battery la uncertain, many Inventors having claimed the honor. New York World. Cheap Power. Natural steam coming up through the ground is a cheap power for running an engine in the northern Tuscany mountains. Lakes of hot water in the vicinity of the steam holes contain much boraclc acid, and a manufactur ing company uses the natural steam to run machinery for extracting the valu able boraclc acid from the lake water. The only difficulty .In this pleasant state of affairs is that the steam Itself is so highly charged with boraclc acid that it would injure the blades of a turbine engine, so the steam is used to heat up an ordinary boiler, and the steam from the boiler Is then used in the turbine. The steam is caused by volcanic action and comes up through blowholes at a considerable pressure. Saturday Evening Post "WET" LEAGUE 111 FIGHT OVER G0II1 Only Two "Taxpayers anil Wage Earners" BREWERS PUT UP FUNDS KNOWING THAT OREGON DRY MEANS BETTER BUSI NESS FOR ALL LINES SAVE ONLY SALOONS. BY OP.TON E. GOODWIN, Publicity Department, Committee of One nuiiuruu. j The great campaign to make Oregon "wet" naa failed. The exposure by Dr. Cora Talbott, secretary of the "Taxpayers' and Wage Earners' Leacue," that the organization consisted of two persons, Mrs. uumway ana Dr. Talbott, and was , fi nanced by the brewers and distillers to make uregon "wet," threw the fat into the fire. The brewers and distillers know that all kinds of busi ness save theirs is better in a dry town. They know this has been proved by figures and facts from Salem, Oregon City, Hoseburg, AiDany, Newberg, Ashland, Corvallis, Pen dleton and many other towns. Organization Spreads Untruths. So they organized the "Taxpay ers' and Wage Earners' League" to spread misinformation about Ore gon dry. They know bank deposits in dry towns have increased in number and amount. They know bad debts are almost unknown in all dry towns. They know collections are better. They know arrests from drunkenness are almost unknown, They know every dry town in Ore gon is prosperous. So, they became desperate. Taxpayers' League Is "Joke." Then thev organized the Joke "Taxpayers' and Wage Earners' League." Dr. Talbott was secre tary. She became disgusted when she learned money was being col lected bv the brewers and distil leries by the use of her name, and she resigned. Then Mrs. Duniway advertised lavishly, announcing that the money the "league" was using was pro' vided by the brewers. The campaign of misinformation carried on by employes of the league, who are also employes of the breweries and distilleries, is now known all over Oregon. ' Brewers Spending Your Money. Every man, woman and child has to spend $20 a year with the saloons. If you do not drink, some one else has to pay YOUR share. So, it is YOUR money the Ore pn brewers and Eastern distil leries have been using to persuade YOU Oregon wet will dl YOU good. It is believed they expect spend over $200,000 of YOUR J. H.

HOME OF THE BIG TREES. Forest Giants In tho Sequoia and Gen eral Grant National Parks. The Sequoia and General Grant Na tional parks, the home of the big trees, are situated In Tulare and Fresno counties. Cal.. uud are celebrated mainly for the great groves of the Dig trees which are scattered through them. Sequoia National park may be reached from Vlsalia, thence by way of electric railway to Lemon cove, thence forty miles by stage or private conveyance to Uamp Sierra, In the park. General Grant National park can be best reached from Sanger, thence by automobile, stage or private conveyance, a distance or iorty-six miles to the park. l'he streams and lakes in these parks afford splendid trout Ashing, boating and bathing. The waters are ail pure and fit to drink. The forests contain the largest, oldest, tallest and most valuable trees In the world. AJJiue from the giant Sequoia, there are other forests of pine, Ur, cedar and many deciduous trees that are truly royal. There are many shrubs, wild flowers, ferns and mosses of superb beauty, while frullcklng wild animals and beautiful song birds are another en joyable feature of the parks, in four of the groves certain trees within them have been named, while In all other (Troves they have not.

Although the breweries and dis tilleries know Oregon dry is for better business, prosperity and more work, they are fighting it. No Saloons; Better Business. We have had bad times with the saloon, haven't we? Why- not try no saloon? It can't make things worse and is certain to make things better. The reason is: Money spent on the saloon can not ba spent for groceries. Money spent in the saloons much of it goes East. Money spent for. dry goods and groceries stays in the towns and makes better business. The members of tha Committee of One Hundred are all Oregonians. Most of them are business men. They ask you to vote Oregon dry, because they know, as the brew, ers also know, that Oregon dry means better business, lower taxes, more work and a return to prosperity. For the experience of all Ore gon dry towns has proved this to be the case. , Fall adTsrttssmimt by OommlttM of Ons Hundred, 748 Uorgul Bldg., rortlsnd, Oi Nothing Doing.

When one has reached the age of twenty the chances are much improved, and there Is still an expectation of 42.20 years before one. At the age of twenty-nve the average has Improved, and there are still some thirty-nine years ahead. For the normal man or woman thirty years of age the average length of Ufa Is sixty-five years. A person thirty-live years old may count, according to these tables, on thirty-two years more. As each milestone is passed the pros pect brightens. Thus at the ago of forty tho prospect is for nearly twenty nine years more, and at forty-five there Is on expectation of twenty-five more years. By the fiftieth year tho expectation Is about twenty-one years, and In the fifty-fifth year It is nearly eighteen more. A man of sixty may look for ward with some confidence to fifteen more years of life, and this increases so that at seventy years the prospect is eight years. On having successful ly passed the eightieth year there is an expectation of about five years, Exchange. Treating a Corrt.
