WOMAN CLAIMS DIVINE POWER OVER ALL ILLS Ohioan, Born in Scotland, Besieged by Afflicted Persons. NO CHARGE FOR POOR CANTON, Ohio, Oct. U.—“ Believe in God. Then I can cure any kind of disease J” This is the first statement made to all prospective patients by Mrs. Lila Taylor, bonnio Scotswoman, who declares she is a divine hoa’er. Her claim to these powers was attested by the long: waiting list of maimed and halt—sufferers from almost all' the ills to which tj,e human flesh Is heir—that crowded ber little home in this city when the healer was Interviewed. “I have raised dying men end women from their beds and made them well again,’’ she said. “My power I cannot explain. My grandfather hail it to even greater degree than I have. He was able to cure a man by speaking to him. When I was a little girl I used to see men hobble into my grandfather's house on crutches. Ho would tell them to place their crutches In the corner and walk out. They always did. When I reach 30, which will be in a few months, 1 hope to have the power which he long had.” BEGINS CURING AT AGE OF 8. Mrs. Taylor was born in Scotland. She says she began curing people when she was 8 years old. She has lived in the United States f..r eight years, but only five months at Canton. In that tint* the number of ailing who have visited her has reached into the hundreds. “They come to me so fast I cannot take care of them," she said “They come when I am In bed and when I am eating. I cannot refuse to help any of them, or my power would leave me.” The divine healer accepts pay only in very exceptional cases, she declared. “I never take money from those who have little, but if the rich want to help me, that Is all right,” she said. “If any one paid me who ha i to go hungry as a result I couldn't sleep.”

Prayers to God It an Indian tongne are the chief 'eliance of the healer, although she alsc depends upon incantations and blood to help along the miracles. HUB STANDARD FORMULA. This Is her standard formula for treatment of tuberculosis: “Take a live pigeon, split open its back, take out Its palpitating heart and bind it on your chest; then take a linen baud, dip it in the warm blood of the pigeon and bind it around the chest. Ait the while repeat prayers and Incantations In Indian.” There are many here who assert that the treatment, fantastic. Ignorant and ab surd as It sound#, works the benefit clsimed. The “divine healer’’ uses an Indian tongue In talking to God so that none but she and God may “know what she says," she said. Miraculous powers of diagnosis are also claimed by and for her. “I can diagnose any kind of a case without touching a person.'' she nserted. “I can fee] inside me whether It Is liver trouble, tuberculosis or any other disease. I know what Is wrong, and I know that I can cure them before I start. I have never made a mistake. “The cherry tree is good for dropsy,” she added. “The plum tree also helps in many dLosses, and there are some diseases I can't master without tht aid of an apple tree. raw secg ns for EACH TREATMENT. “I can cure hundreds In a day, because It only takes a few seconds to glvfe the ordinary treatment. Some times 1 have to give more than one, if the trouble Is stubborn. In eases where death seems near I always Insist upon a doctor, as I do not want an inevitable death charged to me by the officials.” ‘‘Divine h“aler” or arrant “fake." the attractive young woman, whose cheeks are arlow with health and who Is happily married and the mother of a boy baby five months old. gets and holds the faith of her visitors. Miraculous stories of cures wrought by li"r were told by members of the waiting throng, some of whom claimed to have members of their families who had been cured by one means or another. "It's mostly faith that works the cures," Mrs. Taylor said in parting. “I use all the things I told you about, but the real things that do the business are my talks with God. The others are only symbols to those who ctme to me for help, and to me to strengthen onr faith. When I’m a little older I'll have perfect faith, just as grandfather did, and then, believing that 'with God all things are possible.’ I'll be able to do them Just as he did.” DOG'B LEAP SAAKS GIRL.

SUFFRAGE LEADER HOLDS MOST MEN NEGLIGIBLE ENTITIES

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10—“ There Is no ■ reason why a man can’t learn to sew, knit, darn and cook. If women have learned to practice law, medicine hii-1 other professions hitherto monopolized by men,’’ says Mrs. Edna I. Johnston, prominent suffrage leader and welfare worker, who believes that the husband of the future will be a model seamstress and housekeeper, in addition to holding a regular job. Mrs. Johnston, who was Congressional chairman of the Equal Suffrage Association of New Hampshire and was manager of the first United States employment office opened in New York City during the war, bolds that accomplishment 1. not a matter of sex, nor dependent upon It, but a matter of qualifications regardless of sex. She pictures the future hits ban ! as making the baby's clothe*, cooking, washing, ironing and doing the family mending right along with his wife. MEN LEARN DOMESTIC A HI S. “The men surely do not want to let the women g“t ahead of thern in the matter of accomplishments," Mrs. Johnston suggests, "and if they assume the attitude of the average mar. that they should stick to what has been hitherto considered man’s work, while he women go ahead and learn their’s too, that would surely happen. “But I am happy to ssy tht.t this Is not happening. The men are learning the domestic arts. Ndt Infrequently do 'GOD ANGERED’ BY EFFORTS TO PRODUCE RAIN Minister Rebukes Britisher's Attempt to Force Cloudbursts With Bombs.

IN his issue of September 22, Mr. H. A. Sturges, Editor of the Republic of Beresford, S. D., prints the following editorial. “The Republic has earned for a long time a series of messages in the form of advertisements, ordered and paid for by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). There is a notion on the part of many that everything that a corporation does is of a selfish nature, and that there never is a vision of the people’s good. These messages have earned an entirely different tone, and we believe they are worth reading from week to week. The data this week is very interesting.” This recognition of the sincere effort which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana )has put forth through these advertisements to infonn the public as to its purposes, policies, and ideals, is gratifying. In the opinion of the seven Directors of this organization, the business of this Company should be, and is, an open book. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is an institution performing an essential service in a highly specialized branch of industry. This Company is owned by 21,188 individuals, not one of whom owns as much as 10 percent of the capital stock. The management of this Company centers about seven men, who constitute the Board of Directors. Each one is a specialist in one or more branches of the petroleum industry, and devotes all of his time to the business and affairs of this Company. Not one of the Directors has inherited his job; he has earned it. Individually, and collectively, the Board of Directors believes that the business in which this Company is engaged is so vital, so important to the commercial and domestic life of all the people of the eleven states it serves, that they have caused to be published this series of advertisements, that the people may know how the business is being conducted. Further, the 25,000 men and women who make up this organization are putting forth such enthusiastic, painstaking efforts to do a good job for the Company, and, in turn, for the people, that the Directors are glad to tell the public what is being done. Through these advertisements they are giving an account of their trusteeship to the people frequently, as they do to the stockholders annually. This is the purpose of this campaign of advertisements, on which the publisher of the Beresford Republic has seen fit to comment favorably. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So.
