THIRD TERM QUACK PLANK

Fraudulent "Blanket Poiicy" Ottered For Protection of. Healiii and Life. IN INTEREST GF FAKERS. “Theodore Rex" Promises to Shield Them Agamst Discrimination by Educated Physicians. The political tentacles of the third term candidate have been extended tn every direction from which might he gathered voters irrespective of sex, race, color or previous condition, of all vocations, factions and trades into the Progressive fold. By specious promises cunningly adapted to each the colonel beckons them to follow with bleating approval wheresoever his bell wether adjutants may lead tn order that Theodore Rex miay again sit in the White. House. •Tempting bait is thrown to the working people in the minimum wage, to the Socialist in the enlargement of government ownerships, to the women in the furtherance of suffrage aspirations, to the farmer in blissful betterments of rural life, etc. Now he appeals to the quacks, those true and hitherto despised meu of predatory wealth, offering them tenderest regard and freedom from prejudice "for or against” The following "blanket policy" is offered for protection of our most precious possessions—health and life: “We favor the union of all the existing agencies for fundamental government dealing with the public health into a single national health service without discrimination against or for any one set of therapeutic methods. • school of medicine or school of healin',', with such additional powers as may be necessary to enable it to perform j efficiently such duties in the protection of the public from preventable diseases as may be properly undertaken by the fundamental authorities, inI eluding the execution of existing laws | regarding pure food, quarantine and , cognate subjects, the promotion of appropriate action for the improvement of vital statistics, the extension of the [ registration area of such statistics and co-operation with the health activities i of the various states and cities of the nation.’’ | Thus would votes for Theodore Rex | be multiplied. Insults Educated Physician. I This quack plank of the Progressive | platform not only insults the Intelli- ' gent voter, but wounds the educated » physician, in that it places the latter ; in the same category with empirics of ; high and low degree, rubbers, sun | curists, magnetic and other healersand ■ all other pretenders who fatten upon i; the credulity of the helpless sick and g their terrified relatives The Sun has adverted to the outrageous violation I’ of propriety and justice which charac- ■ terizes the medical laws of several ■ states in the Union, the last instance of |* which we deplored in the medical reg |: ulations of the canal zone and which I; the bull moose platform threatens to I inflict upon all the states in the Union. I These legislative enactments require K all persons who propose to become physicians not only to pursue a more or I less thorough course of preparatory ■ education, but also to be trained in all ■ branches of medicine and. besides, to ■be subjected to a rigid examination by ■appointees of the state. All these serve Ito protect the public against ignorant ■pretenders and would be perfectly fair ■did not the very same enactments exgempt the latter from the provisions apIplying to educated practitioners. II -Favors For Cormorants. I-Thus do our sagacious legislators

stultify themselves m the interest of the cormorants to whom they grant special privileges, because, forsooth, they claim to “heal" without medicines! There is now no discrimination against “schools of medicine.” Therefore the special protection demanded for them by the bull moose platform Is gratuitous and intended only to entrap votes. The “healers" belong to no school. Now comes Theodore Rex and dignifies them by a special provision and, expressing a most tender regard for their sensibilities, promises to shield them against discrimination by educated physicians. This platform would raise the quack and healer above the men who daily exemplify their personal and proses sional superiority byt some unselfish devotion to the public weal. In his eagerness to placate the influential horde of empirics Mr. Roosevelt would have us oblivious of the fact that the educated physician is the only real altruist In the community. Instead of arousing the public conscience (T. R.’s favorite slogan) this self appointed reformer deepens the crying shame and thus exemplifies again that "under no circumstances" need he be bound by his prior professions. President Taft has won the approval of the quacks and Jiealers by his medical regulations of the canal zone: hence this Machiavellian policy. Future generations will substitute “Rooseveltian" for “MachinveHiny." Politics makes strange bedfellows indeed. Behold Taft and Roosevelt under the same blanket.!—New York,Sun.

THE SAVIOR'S TEACHINGS BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE STUDIES

TO THE JEW FIRST. Mark vii, 24-30; Matthew viii, 5-13. Oct. 20. ••Him that cometh unto Me 1 will in no wise cast out.” —John t>i, St. CHERE IS general confusion amongst GodJs people respecting the relationship between the Gospel of Christ and the Jewish nation and between the Jewish nation and all other nations. The Bible tells that until the coming of Christ—yea. until three and a half years after Jesus died, arose and ascended—the Divine dealings were confined to the Hebrew race. The whole world is involved in the penalty that came upon Father Adam because of his disobedience—under Divine sentence as being unworthy of everlasting life or relationship with God. The Jews were no better than the remainder of the race, so far as the Scriptures tell, but God, having from

the first determined to provide a Redeemer for mankin d. through whose Kingdom all the world should ultimately he blessed and have the privilege of return to Divine favor, made a selection of Abraham’s posterity, because Abraham was a noble character whose

faith in God was thus rewarded. As soon as the limit of time expired God manifested His favor toward tho Gentiles by sending the Gospel to Cornelius, a reverential, holy and generous Gentile. Since then Gods favors are as open to the Gentile as to the Jew—"the middle wall of , partition” has been “broken down.” It is from this standpoint that we should read the Apostle's statement that the Gospel of Christ “is preached to every creature under heaven.” He did not mean nor would it have been true that the Gospel had been proclaimed to all. What the Apostle meant is that the Gospel is now unrestricted, free to be preached to every creature under heaven, no matter what his nationality—it is no longer confined to Jews as at first. Now, whoever has “an ear to hear, let him hear” the good Message of the Kingdom. Whoever hears and has a heart to accept God’s gracious Message, let him present his body a living sacrifice, holy and 'acceptable through Christ. (Romans xii. 1.) The SSyro-Phenician woman of our study was a Greek—not a Jewess. Her daughter was possessed of an evil spirit. She heard that Jesus-was near the border of Judea, and she sought Him out, imploring that He would cast out the demon. _ But Jesus said to the woman, “Let the children first be filled, for it is not proper to take the children's bread and cast it to dogs.” She understood the force of this statement. The Jews claimed to be God's people, and the Gentiles were styled "Gentile dogs," because they had never been in cove-nant-relationship with God. Yet the poor woman's faith in Jesus and her desire for the relief of her daughter moved her to press her case and she answered. “Yea. Lord, but the dogs eat of the children’s crumbs." Jesus replied. “For this saying go thy way: the devil is gone out of thy daughter.” She got the crumb: her faith prevailed. Today the Israel of God. to whom belong all the blessings and promises and favors, are the Spiritual Israelites. These, through full consecration, and the imputation of the merit of Jesus' sacrifice begotten of the Holy Spirit, are embryo sons of God. inheritors of the Divine nature and Kingdom. The Centurion’s Servant Healed. Palestine was subject to the Roman Empire, and little garrisons of Roman soldiers were stationed here and

faith, our Lord declared, was superior to anything that He had found amongst the Israelites. He got his request. ■> Jesus took the occasion to say that the Israelites, who were counting so much on their relationship to God as the children of Abraham, would find themselves greatly mistaken. Being the children of Abraham did tnean that they would have speciaI privileges, but these they were enjoying and not appreciating.

God took out of their nation the “Israelites indeed"; meantime the rest were blinded, and for the past eighteen centuries He has been completing the Elect Kingdom Church out of all nations. But He is selecting none except such as have the faith and obedience of Abraham and the spirit of Jesus. Nevertheless. the Scriptures most clearly declare that the Jews are still heirs of a certain promise, which In due tirhe will come to them To them will come the great privilege of being the foremost nation ampngst men during Messiah's glorious reign, when the Church, glorified, spiritualized, will be with Him tn His Throne.

NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS. In previous years it was the practice in the County Treasurer’s office, for the accomodation of taxpayers, who requested it, to hold their tax receipts beyond the legal time for payment of taxes and accept payment later without adding the penalty. It has even been customary to continue co accept taxes over the counter without penalty for several days after the time required for closing up the books, the idea being not to work a hardship on any taxpayer by too strict a construction of the law. The State Board of Accounts has ordered these practices discontinued, and hereafter all taxes unpaid at the expiration of the semi-annual collection periods, viz: by midnight on the first Monday of November and the first Monday in May, will have the penalty added without exception or discrimination. This is the order of the Field Examiners representing the State Board of Accounts, and there is no alternative but to obey. Hoping that all will take notice and govern themselves accordingly, I am, Very Respectfully, ( ALSON A. FELL, Treasurer of Jasper County.

POULTRY NOTES

Overcrowding ducklings will induce feather-pulling. Kerosene is sure death to lice, if applied as a spray. Hens suffer from overeating as much as from starving. It is provoking to have hens steal their nests this time of the year. The feeding of onions to laying hens has produced an onion flavor in eggs. A hen egg-bound will be seen to visit the nest repeatedly without result. Fodder corn makes fine green food for poultry of all ages. Try it fed green. Many will realize this fall and winter that the early-hatched chick is the winter layer. It is not advisable to allow ducklings bathing water before the weather is warm and pleasant. Market at once all males not kept for breeders, and all pullets that have not kept pace with the rest of th© flock.

PLYMOUTH ROCK IS POPULAR

Blocky Shape Makes Them Excellent Breed for Broilers—Much Favored as Utility Fowl. The Barred Plymouth Rock is'without a doubt the most popular breed of chickens in this country—more of them are found on the farms than any other breed. On special poultry farms the Leghorn is a very popular breed, and in the poultry farming districts the Rhode Island Reds are almost exclusively used, says a writer in the Rural New Yorker. As a general utility fowl the Wyandottes

are second in popularity to the Rocks, the white variety being "the most popular. Their blocky shape makes them an excellent breed for broilers. Like the Plymouth Rocks and Rhode Island Reds, they lay a brown egg. The Leghorns lay a white egg, and In this respect they have a slight advantage, as most markets prefer the white egg, though there is no difference in the qualities of eggs with a brown or a white shell.
