There are still twenty days in which you can help the Y. M. C. A. Are you doins your duty? Although Secretary Taft is in Cuba, It is a safe guess that he Is keeping one eye on the Ohio situation. What a relief it will be to turn from Thaw and Harriman to the inspiring antics of the players of the great national game. Those Davenport, Iowa, surgeons who operated on a resident of that city and left a sponge in his body, are jiow being sued for damages by the widow. A woman at Haywood, near Chicago, committed suicide because she feared flat life. Many people have committed suicide because they found life was too flat. That ex-Governor O'Dell of New York should roast Roosevelt will create no surprise. O'Dell is identified witii the interests tliat could hardly be enthused over Kooseveitian methods. There ia little doubt that when Harriman desires a letter written that is of such a peculiarly important nature as the one recently made public without his consent, he will resolve himself into a typewriter and do his own manipulating of the keys. . . Messrs. "Wilson and Lintt, evangelists at the Christian church, must be admired for the spirit and confidence with which they take hold of their work. Determination to use the East Main Street Friends church shows they are willing to undertake large projects. As might be expected, certain Indianapolis publications are predicting that Foraker will win over Taft in Ohio. There is but one reason for publishing such a report and that is that the trust-owned papers want Foraker to win and are trying to create sentiment in hi3 behalf. It is exhilirating to note that the pastor of a Philadelphia church and his supporters engaged in a fist fight with another faction of the church for possession of the collection that had just been taken. This should be an effective means of impressing the public with the beauty of christian "fellowship. The negro race again comes forward for recognition.

Mr. Locke has announced that he will devote his life to the upbuilding of his race and in such case no one will begrudge him the honor. Jiutton. button, who lias the button? This is now the question at Chicago. Mayor Dunne, recently defeated for re-election, has gone to Pittsburg on business and has appointed Controller McGann as acting mayor with instructions to yield the office to Mayor-elect Russe, when the latter desires to assume it. Mayor Busse is in no hurry about taking the reins so that Chicago has three partial mayors and no real one. Even if an insurance company is a private corporation and is entitled to all the protection that is accorded the private individual, as ex-President Cleveland contends, ought not the public be protected by suitable legislation? Some safeguards that will prevent the officials from taking too large a per cent, of the money in the way of salaries at the expense of the policy holders would not be unreasonable. That Mr. Cleveland is enjoying a fat salary from an insurance company of course has no bearing on his opinion in the matter.

PROVISIONS OF AGE LIMIT. PRESIDENT McCREA HAS ISSUED A DEFINITE STATEMENT. No One Can Enter the Service of the Pennsylvania Who is Over 45 Years. President McCrea of the Pennsylvania, has sent circulars to local offices setting out in detail the rules which will hereafter govern the .employment of men and the new age limit regulations. The board of directors of the road some time ago raised the age limit, but there was no explanation received locally. The rules as President McCrea sets them down follow: "No person shall be taken into the service of the company who is over forty-five years old, except that with the approval of the board of directors. "Former employes may be re-em-I ployed within a period of three years! from the date of their leaving the service, or former employes of any other company associated on the administration of either the Pennsylvania railroad pension department, or the Pennsylvania pension department on Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, may be employed within- a period of three years from the date of their leaving the service of such company. "Persons may, irrespective of age limit, be employed where the service for which they are needed re-i quires professional or other special qualifications. "Persons may be temporarily taken into the service irrespective of age limit, for a period not exceeding six months, subject to extension when necessary to complete the work for which he Is engaged. "Persons in active service of any company associated in the administration of either the Pennsylvania railroad pension department or the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, may irrespective of age limit be trans-

Since the union of the Eastern and Western trainmen's organizations at Buffalo last week, it is said that the Eastern trainmen have caught the fever and will soon demand a substantial in crease in wages, in addition to a schedule of new working hours. The Eastern trainmen were recently granted a ten per cent increase in wages but think they should have more while their working hours should be shortened. NEW EXPRESS RUNS. The following are tire Pacific Express messengers who have been appointed to take charge of the through runs on the C. C. & L. road: Howard W. Daniels, Peru; George K. Tibbs, Peru; Claude E. Errick, Peru; Claud Li. Paxtori, Toledo; William E. Gormely, Cincinnati, and. C. P. Shaw, who has been residing at Griffith, where hi3 run heretofore has ended. The new and quick way is a great thing for the merchants who want express over the Pacific express from either of the great cities. A short run will be put on between Peru and Richmond with Pacific express Messenger Bergimon, who will come to Richmond in the morning early and return in the evening. C. E. Johnson, route agent for the express company, has been in Peru for the past week making up the messenger runs on the through; service. AT LOSS TO UNDERSTAND. Railroad men are at loss to understand the retrenchment policy recently adopted" by the Pennsylvania as each month has shown a liberal increase in the earnings of the road. Just how much the earnings will drop when the recent two cent laws go into effect no one can say. The starchy foods so much used nowadayswhite bread, pastry, potatoes, hot biscuit, etc., often cause "starch indigestion" and a long line of troubles because the digestive organs are unable to handle the excess of this kind of food-material. It remains in the stomach, partially ferments, causing gas and sour eructations, besides preventing the body from absorbing the full amount of food necessary. Such persons often feel hungry a short time after eating. In making Grape-Nuts, a food expert combined whole wheat and barley in the same way the human organs act on food with heat, moisture and time the diastase in the barley, during the process of manufacture, changing the starch into a form of soluble ugar, thus making it easy of digestion. In this way he devised a means of as sisting the weak, digestive organs to handle natural food with ease and not only build up brain and nerves, but strengthen,, the digestive organs at the same time. If you have any kind of indigestion or nervous dyspepsia. youH find a marked change in your condition by a ten day's use of

and a son of a Methodist preacher. He demonstrated his ability to win souls and repair churches. His work will bear inspection. Brother N. P. Barton, pastor of Philadelphia circuit, after six months work found bis health and strength insufficient for that large and difficult charge. Acting upon the advice of his physician he resigned his work and moved to Spencerville to rest and recuperate. It is hoped that his retirement will be of short duration. The work has been supplied by M. M. Reynolds, a supernumerary of our conference. He has been abundant in labors, won the hearts of the people, and they would be glad to have him returned next year. Material Improvements. Church and parsonage building may be considered as an outgrowth of the esthetical taste of the people, and a desire to more thoroughly equip the material appliances of the Kingdom. We report not a single church nor a parsonage built this year, but much work has been done in rebuilding and improving church and parsonage property. A splendid house and lot has been deeded to the Greenfield charge worth $3,000 by T. J. Bohn, an honored member of our church in that city. This property makes an ideal parsonage, plamty of room for exercise, and, if the preacher has the disposition, he can carry on farming on a small scale. Bro. Bohn retains an annuity. Trenton charge has had the largest improvement in church property in the District. The church at Huntsville was remodeled, making it an almost new church. Internal rearrangement, new saats, art glass windows, new decoration, furnace, lighting system, new entrance and tower, painting and varnishing at considerable expense. On the day of reopening. Rev. Marcus B. Parounagian, preached, the sermon and assisted the pastor in raising the needed finance. In a short time

It was our pleasure to be present on the opening day. The people were enthusiastic, and no difficulty was expe-l rienced in getting in cash and " good subscriptions sufficient to liquidate every claim with a good margin. Grace Chapel on the same charge passed through a general renovation, being newly painted and papered at a cost of $150. Much credit is due to the pastor, Bro.-Truitt, for the successful completion of these improvements began by Bro. Ingalls, but finished under his direction. Bro. Truitt has a special gift in money getting. Extensive improvements were made on the Farmland church, new fresco, carpet , furnace, lighting system, painting and varnishing at a cost of about $1,000. . The Dunkirk church was redecorated in harmony, new carpet, varnishing, all make thi6 one of the most pleasant churches in the district. Much credit is due the ladies of the Ladies Aid so cieties of these charges for this work. Repairs and improvements have been made on either church or parsonage, or both, of the follow ing charges: Philadelphia, Cadiz, Lynn, Saratoga, Williamsburg, Grace and First churches, of Richmond, Spiceland, Newcastle, Portland, Shirley, Hagerstown, Mill Grove, Fountain City, Parker, Greenfield, Hagerstown, Knightstown, Selma, Salamonia and

'Quakerized," that is, they bave not been taught to give, but we are deter mined to Methodize it by the help of the good Lord, if that shall mean to lay upon them the obligation to give more liberally to the benevolences, and to pay their pastors better salaries. The conventions of the , year have been well attended, and profitable withal. The District Lyceum, held in Ridgeville in October was an occasion of brotherly love and spiritual pentecost. Emphasis was placed upon the vital things of the ministry. Not a disappointment was experienced in the attendance, faithful performance of duty and profit derived. The gatherings of the young people in the District Epworth League convention in June at Farmland, was a storm of youthful enthusiasm. Splendid interest was manifested at every service. . The Benevolent conventions were held throughout the charges according to the plan projected by the missionary secretary of the district. Some have thought them needless, if not worthless, but the consensus of opinion among the brethren is that they are educative and helpful. . Ladies' Societies Alive. The ladies' societies are manifestly at Economy, and pronounced one of ttne beneficences of, and many Kinaiy j ministrations offered by this society, j a delightful and profitable convention ' was held in Ridgeville in October, I cannot speak in too high terms of the work of the Ladies Aia sociexy.

Fenwick Reed, was secured to lead in the enterprise. The preach ers, for the most part, were enthusi astic and attended and gave of their time and means for the promotion of the work. Great benefit was derived from these meetings - by the ministry and laity. Persons who kept account report that at least 100 people, In the two meetings were either converted or reclaimed. Some genuine cases are on record as holding out to this day, and others through them have been led to Christ since. Especial mention should be made of Bros. Godwin and Norris, who in a large measure were responsible for the success of the enterprise, having had charge of arrangements, and rendered most efficient service. A tent meeting was held at Union City for ten days following the meeting at Winchester, under the direction - of the Vastor, J. F. Radcliffe, assisted by Bro. Reed. The weather was very inclement and hindered the work great ly. Some good was accomplished. A like meeting was held at Economy, following the one at Union City, under the leadership of the pastor, J. W. Walters and Bro. Reed. It is reported that 73 persons were either converted, reclaimed or sanctified in this meeting. Revivals in All Charges. Revivals have been held in all the charges. Two hundred and eighty weeks, more than five years of re vival have been spent in . persuading portant and praiseworthy work, and merits special mention.

Wo need an increase of intelligent, consecrated, spirit-filled teachers to lead the scholars to a positive decision for Christ. The Epworth Leagues are an agency In the development of the life of the church. The Epworth League on account of changing youth, is a flash light, and not a steady glow. If thero Is any danger, and we are convinced there is, it lies in the failure to properly train and put Into official relation the young as they reach Ui period of young manhood and woman hood. We report 40 senior chapters with a membership of 1,500, and Junior chapters with an enrollment of 900. Wherever competent superintendency can be secured the League are doing splendid work. The numerical strength of the church has been increased. There has been a net Increase of 500 full members this year. More than 600 have joined the church on probation. The reports show a decrease in the subscribers to the Western Christian Advocate, largely on account of Increase of price. The list shows S3' Westerns, 22 Christian, and S60 Epworth Heralds. ; Three Heroes Linger.

I can only wish for my. self and the active men of my district a closing day like unto them, and others who toiled to make the world better. Of the preachers who have wrought with me this year, I would liko to speak-personally. Each has had hi own peculiar problems, and In solving them have acted the part of men.
