CHRISTIAN SCIENCE HEALING
New York Legislature Plates It On
Level with Medical Practice.
A despatch fromAlbany, N.Y.,
says: The McClellan -Thorn Bill,
passed by the State Legislature by
a vote of 79 to 50,.legalizes the prac-
tice of Christian Science healing
and places sit on a level with ordi-
nary medical science.
Commenting on the hill, which
.makes it ppssible for a patient ,to
have recourse to mind cure without
running contrary to the State rnedi-
-ealalaw, -games F. Load, a son-in-
law of Thomas F. Lawson,, of Bos-
ton, and Robert S. Foss, who have
been in Albany, in favor of the bill,
issued a statement declaring that
the passage of the bill by the Legis-
lature. has enabled New York to
take her rightful placa among other
progressive states in paotecting by
State law the medical as well as the
:religious rights of their eitizeas."
"For centuries," they said,
:anedical systems* have been dosing
the body with drugs and at the
same time administering despair to
the mind, expecting thereby to ef-
fect permanent mires. Body is not
'first, and the mind secondary. Mrs.
Eddfs great discovery, that it is
the human nand that, Makes sick
and the Divine mind that makes
well is gradually receiving the re-
seognitioa it deserves.
"The MoClellan - Thorn Bill
„
amends the mediallaw so the peo-
ple of the State may resort to
Christian Science for help without
siolatisar in any way the provisions-
ef the Medical Practice A.ct."

it, would .net, attempt t organize
any extended opposition, or reserb
to oastreetiye tacties to prevent the
passage of the bill.
The, supporters of the President
are prepared to argue that, the eas
satiation of American ahips..from
canal .tolls, is a violation of -the Hay-
Pauneefote Treaty; that it is &loan
of subsidy to special iraerests, and
the repeal is essential in order that
the President may carry out, his

clare that meek:an eh ipping n eeds

Assist Farmers.
Farmers!. Have you a, field or
your place thet is •too "wet, eold
and sow" ? Drainage will reclaim
it and make it ane of the beat fields
on the. farm.
Drainage does four things. Fiest,
it removes the surphaa water and
makes it possible to cultivate and
seed about three weeks .earlier in
the 'spring -than on the game land
wheat undrained. Seco -lastly, it makes
the land hem ten to fifteen degrees
warmer thari if riot drained, and
this warmth germinates, the. seed
properly and gives a good stand of
grain, Thirdly, it lets plenty of air
down to the mots of the, Planta
whieh is necessary for eatistaatory
growth. Fourthly, it makes the soil
more porous., and this, in turn
causes, the soil to store up more wa-
ter for the use of the erops in time
of drouth.
• Frequently, the increase ef ersro
in one' year pays for the drainage,
and seldom or never does it teke
longer than three years, so that
drainage pays from 33 per cent. to
100 per cent, per annum cm the
money invested.
Have you difficulties in drainagel
The Department •of Physics of the
Ontario Agricultural College will
assist you on application. They will

the services of these drainage ad-
visers, nor for the maps, only the
applicant pays the travelling ex-
penses in connection with his sur-

than a couple of dollars.
