Reliable mention REV. DR. 8. D. CHOWN UPBRAIDS THE ANTIS | Charges Lack of Fair Pla Regard to Church Union. y in Breaking the silence with which the . Methodist church has watched the campaign of the anti-unionist party in the Presbyterian church against the consummation of the pro- Posed uniom of the three churches, the Rev. Dr. 8. D. Chown, general superintendent of the Methodist Church in Canada has fssued a pro- nouncement. In this statement Dr, Chown does some plain speaking, stressing his contention that saeri- fice and compromise have not been confined to any one of the negotiat- ing parties, 1 "Every development in connection | with the anti-union controversy," says Dr. Chown, "forces Methodists to the conviction that the opponents of union have no regard whatever | for the sacred pledges made by the responsible courts of their church. They are simply in rebellion against them, and all they have done in re- gard to Church Union for twenty | years past, "It also appears convincing that | not a strhy idea ever wanders with- | in the horizon of their thought that Methodists and Congregationalists have any rights or interest in the movement, or that they are worthy of a particle of courtesy or respect. The publicity campaign of the anti- unionists shows that they are look- ing exclusively upon their things, and never a glance do they take toward the things of others. We do not know how to account for this, except that the Methodists and Con- gregationalists have received in good faith from time to time the actions of the General Assembly, but I would venture to suggest. to them that they are scarcely giving fair play to their own proposal for unity and co-operation instead of union." ------ LUMBERMEN BUSY, The Weather Favorable for Opera- tions in the Wopds, Northbrook, Feb, 4.--The weather last week favored lumbermen and hundreds of logs are being drawn to the mill-ground.

These conditions are often evidenced by a sallow complexion, dark circles under the eyes, lassitude and sleeplessness. For nearly fifty years Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been pre-eminently successful in overcoming such condi- | tions, and it is now recognized every- where as the standard remedy for HON.

BROOKS | § Secretary, American Meteorological | Society, Tells How. | Weight of Snow on Roofs. How great is the weight of ac- | cumulated snow and ice which roofs | | must ssupport in winter In the | [ northeastern United States and east- | ern Canada about the maximum to be expected is 50 lbs. per square foot on a flat roof, which is the welght of a layer of water nearly 10 inches deep. Near New York architects | allow for 40 Ibs. per square foot. A | steeply stoping roof will provide a | larger receiving surface for a given | amount of snowfall, and so will have | to support less per square foot than | a horizontal roof. Another advant- age of the steep roof is that it facili- tates the sliding off of snow and ice. though in cities wire snow . holders are commonly used to prevent this In the Sierras and Cascades the welght of snow may reach 250 Ihe. ber square foot, a ton for every 8 square feet, or three times the maxi- mum for eastern North America. It is not surprising, then, to find houses built with very steep roots in such places as Crater Lake, Oregon. Ob- jects buried In deep =now are often 'wrecked by the pressure, For in- stance, the Weather Bureau observer at Summit, California, reported that the substantially built steel and sheet fron rain gage looked as if a tornado had struck it when he dug it out of the snow in March, 1915. Even the guy wires were broken. Collapsing of roofs occurs in un- usually snowy winters, especially where snowfall is usually light and where consequently a relatively less substantial type of construction fis the rule. For example at Seattle, Wash., Feb. 2nd, 1916, on the third Previous snows, the dome of the St. James' Catholic cathedral collapsed under the weight of 2 1-2 feet of snow. The tragedy attending the collapse of the Knickerbocker Thea- ter in Washington, D.C.,, occurred Just before the end of the 28-inch snowfall of Jan. 27th-28th, 1922, when the added weight on the roof had reached about 15 Ibs. per square foot. ---- -- S---- MALIORYTOWN NEWS.
