Some urge that the, government make the same rule regarding second- hand furniture as is now in force in the old clothes trade; put the private dealers out of business, fix lower prices and make it a crime for anyone to sell the second-hand articles except to the state. A number of capitalists and furni- ture manufacturers have formed an assoctation to maké new furniture and | sell it at four per cent above cost 6n the installment plan, requiring one- third of the purchase price as first pay- ment. The cost of new furniture, even under this arrangement, is almost pro- hibitive, because of the scarcity of ma- } terials and the high wages of labor, TAUGHT INSECTS TO THINK | Remarkable Act “cf Scientict That Hardly Seems Worth the Time It-Must Have Taken.

A controversy had aris- ‘elently eiited Frith .- Chaplain: Thomas iiTed upon to pray for a continuation of peace. In 1815, when the United States was about to make war on Algiers, Pres- ident Madison pr: ed a day of prayer, During the Civil war three DI dential proclamations were issued appointing days of prayer for peace. Jn 1865 the authorit illed upon the people to pray for Lincoln, and in 1881 President Arthur proclaimed a day of prayer to mark the burlal~of President Garfield. In the autumn of 1914 Pr ident Wilson issued ‘his\'proclaimation for prayers, on Shoveling Out Gas.
