"Three of them have their little feet out on the ground. " They can't go out of the house. I am afraid to let them. I never asked for anything before, but it seems the only way now. Please help to get shoes for iny little ones and I think I can manage the rest."

Overalls Soon Missouri Firm Given Five Year Contract Prisoners Idle Since Furniture Fac tory Shut Down. Lincoln, Dec, 15. (Specials Convicts in the state penitentiary soon will be miking shirts and overajls, according u a contract signed by the state today with the D. if. Oberman company of Jeffer son City, Mo. It is estimated that 150 men will be at work by the end of January and this number will be increased as they learn the trade until the output will be 225 to 450 dozen gar ments per day. Since business conditions closed down the furniture factory in the state prison the men have been idle. Idleness has a bad effect on the con victs. They prefer to work. Besides, each man will get a cer tain percentage of his earnings for himself, to be kept in a fund for him till he is released, or to be sent by him to his family if he desires. The Oberman company will fur nish all equipment and materials and also cutters and other skilled workmen to teach the convicts the trade. The company will pay the state 70 to 85 cents a dozen for making shirts, 75 cents-to $1.15 a dozen for making overalls and $1.25 a dozen for men's work pants. The contract is for five years. w bat th "We will sign, it is Peace." These six words, addressed to Lloyd George, Prime Minister of Great Britain, by Arthur Griffith, head of the Sinn Fein delegation, marked the climax of Ire land's seven-hundred-year struggle for freedom. Nor was the drama of the moment lessened by the fact that they were spoken in the same room at No. 10 Downing Street in which was signed nearly-140 years ago the treaty sealing the freedom of the United States. .The Irish agreement as signed by the delegates is in the form of "a treaty between Great Britain and Ireland," consisting of eighteen articles. It gives Ireland the title of the Irish Free State, with virtually the same constitutional status as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The treaty does not require Ulster's assent to make it effective, but Ulster is given the option of withdrawing within one month of the passing of the act that will confirm the treaty. Now that the Irish may have their Free State, what will they do with their state of free dom? What will the results be in politics? In economic and cultural developments? The first task that confronts Free Ireland, says the New York Evening Postanswering some of the ques tions which Americans, Englishmen, and Irishmen are asking, "is to make herself a united Ire land." The most convincing proof Irishmen can give of their ability to govern themselves "is to win Ulster's acquiescence in a government of Ireland by Irishmen." Ireland, as several writers remark, will be more than a mere new political state. George W. Russell, the Irish publicist and writer, better known as "A. E. " thinks that an Irish government will foster a knowledge of the Gaelic language and literature. On the economic side he reminds ' us that Sir Horace Plunkett and his colleagues of the Irish Agricultural Organization Society have "cast a new economic generalization into the minds of the Irish people." ' The leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST this week, December 17th, deals with the signing of the Treaty between Great Britain and Ireland, and presents both sides of the question clearly. It also presents forecasts, in the words of men and journals best qualified to know, of , what the future of the Irish Free State will be. . ; Other news-articles of great interest in this Two Billion Dollars Saved For the Taxpayers To Help Germany Pay Up What China Wants Scrapping the Anglo-Japanese Treaty Poland's New Ally Ruin of Russian Cooperatives Myriad New Uses for Corn Who Invented the Aeroplane? .

Chad wick (Jives Lecture on Mary Baker Eddy's Interpretation of Divine Love. Clarence V. Chadwick of Omaha, member of the board of lectureship of the First Church of Christ, scien tist, Boston, lectured last night at the Third Church of Christ Scientist, Druid hall, Twenty-fourth an 1 Ames avenue, on "Christian Science: Re ligion Made Practical," lie said, in part: Some of the terms employed in Christian Science to define Deity to human consciousness are Love, Truth, Life, Spirit and Mind. To one trained to believe in a God of wrath and vengeance, these synonyms for God, when studied in the light of Christian Science, reveal an en tirely new sense of heaven and earth and man. Reveals Christ's Mission. Love's invitation, . given to the world through Christ Jesus 2U cen turies ago, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavv laden, and I will give you rest" (Mat. 11:28), is reiterated today in the Christian Science text book, ''Science anil Health With Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. It comes with healing in its wings, re vealing the sacred mission of Christ Jesus, to teach and to demonstrate the lesson of divine Love. If we would become acquainted with the Father, we must learn to love, tor what saith the Scripture? "Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth nob God; for God is love" (1 John 5:7-8). Told to Keep Commandments. Mrs. Eddy's teachings have thrown so much light upon the life and mis sion of the great Saviour of men, that the whole world rises to call her blessed. She says in substance to her followers: "If you profess to love him, keep his commandments." Then she explains, in unmistakable terms, how we 'are to prove our obedience. When once asked whether she be lieved in the atonement of Christ, she replied: "I do; and thi3 atone ment becomes more to me since it includes man's redemption from sick ness as well as from sin. I reverence etas Wiffi The lerary ami 'adore Christ as never before" (Mic p. 9o). Demonstration is the power uf di vine love made practical to humanity One cannot grasp the meaning of scientific demonstration nor become a successful practitioner until one lern bow to feel and t expres l-ive for all mankind. The true Christian Scientist strive to abide in a healing consciousness, one charac terized by genuine humility and con fidence, as well as thankfulness for God's goodness and mercy. Question of Healing Answered. Boes Christian Science heal the sick? is a question that is answered today in a most practical way. In all parts of the civilized world may be found living witnesses to the heal ing power of Chri-tian Science. Thesv recipients of God's blessings will tell you that they owe a debt of endless gratitude, not only to the one God and to His Son, Christ Jesus, but ta the beloved leader of the Christian Science movement, who, in the year 1866, discovered the science of Chris tianity, and labored unremittingly and unselfishly to make it available to the whole world. Act on Understood Principle. A correct or scientific understand ing of God heals because it cannot help healing. Healing through Christ, truth, takes place as naturally as the shining of the sun. Every ray of spiritual light that floods human consciousness declares the presence, power and glory of God a'.d His Christ. How, then, can it aviid dis pelling the dark shadows .f finite sense? Truth heals because "t has no affinity with error; love heals because it lias n6 affinity with bate; mind heals because it lias no affinity with matter. Treatment in Christian Science means doing something for the sick according to an understood principle, instead of experimenting upon them with poisonous drugs, and then wait ing for days, weeks and sometimes for months, to see whether they get well. Christian Science treatment gives sight to the blind and hearing to the deaf, by doing something for them which no other form of treat ment ever has done or ever can do.
