How much should I give to make this a better world? A CERTAIN man in New York filled out his income tax report. It showed an income so large that his tax was 53%. Anti his total gifts to church and charity for the year were $l4B. Think of it —thousands spent for luxuries and pleasure for himself; and $l4B to leave the world a little better than he found it! Most of us do better than that; but not so very much better. Our average daily gift for all church causes is —less than we spend for daily papers —less than a local telephone call —less than a third of the day’s car fare —less than 3 cents a day No wonder that 80% of the ministers of America are paid less than S2O a week. No wonder that the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick people a year. No wonder that China has only one doctor for every 400,000 people. No wonder that every church board and charity society is forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat. It isn't because we are selfish; it isn’t because we don’t want to help. It’s just because no one has ever put up a great big program to us, and asked us to think or the work of the church in a systematic businesslike way. The Interchurch World Movement represents the united program of thirty denominations. They have surveyed their whole task, no business could have done it better. They have budgeted their needs; no business could have amove scientific budget. They have united to prevent the possibility of waste and duplication. At least a million dollars will be saved by the fact that thirty individual campaigns are joined in one united effort. And they come to the men or women who love America —to you — this week asking you to use them as the channel through which a certain definite part of your income ran be be applied to make this a better world. Only you can determine what part of your inccJme that should be. It’s a good time right now to answer that question. We’re passing through the world just once; how much better will the world be because passed through? * United ' April 25tb May 2nd QAoINTERCHURCH i W?rld Movement of Worth America *< Tin publication of Ah adrMfthnuut h Math poaibhAnufk Ai atoptmthn if thirty dmomhkatiom.

M. E. church Sunday, May 2, at 2:30 p. m There will be special music on the program. Mrs. Wm. Tilton of Lafayette and her mother, Mrs. Oglesby, of Knox spent Sunday at S. M. Jacks’s and visited the Osborne cemetery where Mr. Oglesby is buried; also called on some of their old friends, returning to Lafayette in the evening. J. H. Culp and wife went to Monticello Sunday afternoon to see Mrs. Estella Holeman, who had another attack of appendicitis. She was taken to the Methodist hospital at Indianapolis Monday and was operated on Tuesday morning. The appendix and several gallstones were removed. She came out of the operation allright, is all we have heard at this writing.

Born, Tuesday, to Mr. and Mrs.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

Meri Miller, at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jake Trump, a 10-pound girl. Dr. Martin of Mt. Ayr was the attending physician. Mr. Oarlock, who lives on and owns the Eggleston farm, lost all his horses but one, so now he has purchased a Ford car with drive wheels attached and will use it to do his farm work with. Mr. Cook, the pickle man from Chicago, was in these parts last week. F. M. Goff accompanied him around over the country taking pickle contracts. It is thought this will be a banner year for pickles. Will Potts and Clarence Geary broke sod Monday for their new garage. They have employed Joe Norman to assist with the cement work. We feel this is the right step in the right way, as the community is very much in need of an enterprise of this kind. Rain, rain, rain and then some more rain. Quite a good many oats have been badly damaged by the numerous cold rains and some farhyers are sowing over, but the wheat and rye is coming out nicely, except for a field now and then which was frozen out and some spots where the sand was blow away from them. Pastures are coming along fine.

BRACE UP Do you feel old before your time? Is your back bent and stiff? Do you suffer urinary disorders? Don’t despair—profit by Rensselaer experiences. Rensselaer people recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills. Aski your neighbor! Here’s a Rensselaer resident’s statement. Mrs. Wm. Moore, Elm St., says: “I suffered from kidney trouble. I had backacbes and headaches for a long time, I had no strength or ambition and ■couldn't sleep well. I could hardly turn in bed on account of the lameness in my back. I couldn’t do my housework and I knew that my kidneys were weak. Finally I got Doan’s Kidney Pills and they cured me of all those ailments. I have never had an attack oince.” (Statement given May 31, 1907.) Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mrs. Moore had; Foster-Mil-burn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. — Advt.
