The gift offering to the Rev. Billy
Sunday from the people of Philadfl
ph.'t Is. to dste. below $50.000, and
the evangelist's manager Is disap?
pointed. It Is less than Pittsburgh
gave a yesr ago, and much less than
was estimated when the coin and bills
snd checks were showered Into the
collection plat**s last Sunday. Put
much of the coin was silver, the bills
of small denomination and none of
the checks lame. The campaign man
agsr says that all the churches of
Philadelphia promised to take up col?
lections, but they have tatted t'> make
cash de > alts and he insinuates that
there has been bad faith on the part,
of the ministers.
The old admonition to not look a
Sift horse in the mouth Is Ignored gjf
the friends of the evangelist. He went
la Philadelphia to work for the sal?
vation of souls, without money and
without price, hut It appears with
great expectations as to the financial
returns. At a time when star theat?
rical attractions have been recalled
from the road. Shea even baseball
?tars are looking for Jot s, and busi?
ness men ste curtailing their expenses,
where 400.000 unemployed are being
cared for In New York city alone
$50,000 for ten weeks' service in addi?
tion to all living expenses, appenrs
like a handsome gift . Put not so Id
?he manager of Mr. Rut
criticism of the gift of Philadelphia
to Mr. feunday reflect* upon the evar,
sftl-it more than It does on the pe i
pie nf that city. It places big ser?
vices on s financial basis, ruther than
on that self-sacrificing for the good
of humanity, and suggests a tariff on
the salvation of souls.
But even though the free-will offer?
ing In money may bo disappointing,
there sre many ways in which appre?
ciation can be shown. A prominent
manufacturer took Mr. Sunday and
"Ma" to the biggest store in town and
Invited them to select the :1ft ho pro
posed to mske. We^arc told that Mr.
Sundsy was like a boy In a candy shop
and could not for ,i |$gac ssJdSJl any
thina. 'but finally fount! a beautiful
scarfpin price I I seb-cted It
with the remurk that he Just doted on
scsrfplrs. which does not read ut all
like Mr Sunday's denunciation of the
extravagance and frivolity of sod
It Is easier to understand why Ma'
selected a $850 dlumond ring, for
"Ma" Is not running the revlvul busi?
ness, or denouncing society or any?
body else for enjoying Jewelry and
nice clothes.
There are so many sides to Billy
Sunday that it is difficult to Judge ns
to which Is most prominent. Ho has.
as Col. Roosrvt It would say. had a
corking time m Philadelphia, denounc?
ing sinners, and some ??f th* ? sinners"
have for many years plodded n'ong In
a seff-sncrlflclna way under the Im
presnlon thnt they were Christians
and dolna Christian work, for he has
pummelled the ehurches and church
members SjSSIS SJ hard a* be haa those
who had no connection with the
rhurehe* The real bar . est from sm h
a revival cannot be estimated until
Philadelphia has cooled down, and
*lth hysteria cured, looks over the
result.

It Is not desirable to set out peach,

account of the increased danger oi

In planting out asparagus crowns
or roots it will pay to use only the
largest ones as they produce larger
and better quality shoots.

Soak Irish potato seed in a for- i
malin solution .o prevent scab. Use
one pliil of commercial formalin to
thirty gallons of water. Let the
potatoes remain in the solution for
two hours and plant two or three
days after treatment.
Cabbage or Irish potatoes should
not be planted on the same land
for many yearn In succession, in or?
der that the soil may not become
infested with troublesome diseases.
To burn all waste after you have
finished pruning trees will aid great?
ly in Ibe control of Insect pests

In pruning operations, paint all
wounds that are more than un Inch
In diameter, to prevent the entrance
of disease germs and to keep them
from drying out.
When an orchard Is planted on a

Sardinia Home Demonstration Club.
The ladies of Sardinia, under the
direction of Miss Katherine Kiehard
son, have organized a Home Demon?
stration Club, and already several
very enthusiastic meetings have been
held. The club meets twice each
month, and the ladies find, this none
too often. Home Betterment is the
line of work we have chosen for our
first study, and wo have begun by
having a demonstration at each
meeting. Quite a number of our
clul members have made tireless
cookers, and in this way cooking has
become less burdensome.
Our ladles are very much interested
in tho Demonstration work and the
club has grown from seven to seven?
teen members. Miss Richardson has
kindly promised to have held in our
town a short course in domestic
science and we are looking forward
to much pleasure in this work.
Tho club hopes to accomplish great i
good in tho work we have started,
and we find the social side of our
meetings more pleasant. At our next
regular meeting hope to have r\ d em?
onstration showing how to care fori
tb?" sick, at which time we are to
have a trained nurse to give some
lessons.
We hold our meetings in different
homes and in this way we develop a
more cordial fooling, and as each
home la different we find more to
give us though, which only stirs up
more Interest.
Tho club members are allowed to i
bring along their fancy work if they
like, and sifter the program is over
WO exchange Ideal along that line.
We are hoping In the near future
to hold a community fair where we
will have on exhibit all kinds of can?
ned goods, fancy articles und many
other things. All Of these will be got

tion club.--Manning Times.

Kidney Troubles.
A year and a hall ago I was taken
with a severe attack of kidney trou?
ble that pained me to such an extent
that morphine had to be given me.
Was attended by a doctor who pro- '
nounced it as stone in the bladder
nd prescribed lithia water. 1 took I
llthia water and tablets for some time
and received no relief from them. 1
