In tho opinion of Selskar II. Gun a. Director Hygiene of the Massachusetts State Department of Health, and Secretary of tho Public Health Association, the conference which IB just closed brought together a group of papers that rival In significance those presented at any previous health gathering In this country.

"The -13rd conference of tlie American Public Health Association has established the fact that health work Is a most Important public function as it has never before been established in the minds of the people of the country." said Prof. Gunn. "With Governor Whitman, Chief of the greatest state In the union, and the President's personal representative in the person of Secretary Redfield of tho Department of Commerce, both declaring that health work deserves the most liberal possible appropriations there can be no doubt in the future as to the fact Chat health work has come to be recognized as a most Important function of government." Prof. Gunn and the other officers of the Association predicted that the future meetings of the organization would profit greatly by the successful conference Just closed. The Association begins a new year xvith a greatly increased membership and with public support of Us efforts assured.

W. speakers were loudb proclaiming their intention of putting A count of church congregations In the city of Now York recently showed that the attendance the past summer las been 25 percent, more than usual Similar conditions are noted in other cities. Church men are saying that is the of the war, leading people to more serious thinking. Ihe question is often discussed interest in religion in the popular mind la growing or declining.

Religion does not encounter the pop- liar opposition that it used to. Formerly open atheists and professed skeptics were arguing on every street corner and loafing place. They per- suuded some people to remain away rom church. Yet opposition is one 'orm of advertising. It is quite pos sible that the open hostility to the church of 25 years ago helped it more than the indifference of more recent ears.

What keeps church attendance down -urely direct antagonism. It is more Tie fact that people are tired after a strenuous modern wees, day, and like to oleop late. Still more frequently It Is that they have excursions and entertainments and sports that they wish to enjoy Perhaps this is why attendance often gains in hard times. The mnii with a costly family and a desire for economy may feel that he will get out of the day cheaper with a quiet attendance at church. --Kossler in New York Sun.

NEWBURGHER D1ESJN WAR Newburgh, Sept. 13--Resulting in the death of one relative, and In an uncertain fate, which may bo death, or Imprisonment by the Turks of another, tlie effort of the British to "force the Dardanelles" has brought great sorrow to one Newburgh family. John Moore, formerly of this city, a brother of Tnomas Moore of 31 Lutheran street, is dead, and Samuel Fleming, the brother of Mrs. Moore, and of Duncan Fleming, another brother, who resides In her home, is missing, following a fierce bayonet attack on the trenches In the early days of the effort to reach the Turkish capital. Reference already been made to the death of Mr.

Moore, who was employed In the Nowburgh Blcachcry, and wao a mpnvber of the Newburgh SOCCPC football team. He left Ncw- hurgh and made 'a trip about the world. He was In South Africa and Australia after leaving here and was on his a back on a vessel, when it was commandeered toy the British government and used as a transport. He immediately enlisted In a Scotch regiment and was one of the force sent to the Dardanelles. BURTON FAVORS BIG ARMAMENT Washington, Sept.

13--Ex-Senator Burton of Ohio, who is in the public eye as a candidate for the Presidency, has put himself squarely on record In favor of "adequate national defence." Mr. Burton ha.n been put down as a peace advocate and opposed to building ap a etrong army and navy. This was doubtless due in a measure to the fact that Mr. Burton is president of the American Peace Society. Hie statement shows that while he has not abated his desire for world peace he is keenly alive to the necessity of a sufficient armament to protect the Interests of the United States.

To friends here he said that he could see why Congress might find it neoesary to ibuJld as many as foiir battleships next year, but he believes that the rational development of the navy will tend more tcr submarines and coast defences. ON VACATION TRIPS. Walter Ulmer, connected with the Commercial House, on West Main ONLY ONE DEATH AT OXFORD HOME There has been but one death at i Oxford Soldiers' Homo this sum mer. There are 211 residents at the home, 33 of whom are veterans of the Civil War, the rest being; women. The record is remarkable, considering the age of these people, and it recommends the place as an excellent health resort.

Says tha Oxford Review: "Some one has characterized old age as tragedy. Exception must be taken here. Comedy is more frequently in evidence. The very atmosphere of communal life in the home is more suggestive of cheerfulness and contentment. Perhaps this in a large measure accounts for the exceptional record noted.

Tho comrades are drawn from all walks of life. There are lawyers, editors, authors, former public officials, bankers, artists and artizans represented among the residents, while among the gentler sex can be foumd women who have occupied high social position, educators, writers, musicians and thrifty housewives who have adorned happy homes until broken by the Grim Messenger or incapacitated by advancing years."
