"Heredfty" the subjtct of n Discourse
by Mrs. Helen Gardener.
PALO ALTO, CAL, May Airs. Helen
Gardener delivered lecture in the chapel
this evening before a large audience. 1t
was supplementary to the one ecently
delivered in San Francisco. DR.. Jordan
introduced the speaker. who in substance
spoke as follows:
1t has been well said by Herbert Spencer
and more recently by Professor Osborn, the
able biologist OF columbia College, that the
question involved in the discussion OF
heredity is not temporary issue and that
its solution will affect all future thought.
Whether or not acquired character is trans
mitted to children IL the most importa MT ues-
ton that conironts the human race, for 1t is
upon the character of the race that depends
and Will depend the condition of the race
No school of scientists questions the fact of
heredlty, but there is a warm and greatly
misunderstood contest over the exact method
used by nature in the transmission 1t does
not matter whether drunkenness, for ex.
ample, is transmitted to your child directly
as plain drunkenness, or whether it descends
to him as q merely weakened and undermined
'germplasm' which will lead to inebrity, in-
sanity, i'm becillty or what not. The soceologi.
cal aspect OF the question belongs to the
laboratory. There are hundreds of cases
which come under the eye of the specialist
where there is no escape from the proof that
children are born with the faint of an sac
quired character" from which they canno,
Tree themselves.
Mrs. Gardener then discussed in COM
prehensive way heledity as affected by
environment.
Although the kind of fruit is deter.
mined at blrth-if | may be permitted the
form OF speech-verY much of the quality
will depend upon the conditions under
which it grew-the environment" she
concluded.

MILL VALLEYS COUNTRY CLUB
Meeting Called for the Purpose of Dis
banding Because of Lack of
Interest

MILL VALLEY, CAL, MAY 4.-The
Mil Valley Country Club, which was or
Ranized TWO years ago, will after to- M or
row become thing of the past In the
club, which was organized for athletic
purposes, are many prominent citizens,
not only of Mil Valley bat OF San Fran
cisco as well.
Secretary Thomas F5ttrell has sent
letter 20 the me n bers of the club calling
their attention to the fact that the annual
meeting will take place tomorrow night,
and that 1t will De especially i'm portant
as the directors intend to dlsband the
club.
The cause of the downfall of the organi-
cation is easily seen. When two years
ago it was started everything pointed TO
its success. The officers for the first year
were: Lowell White, president; Arthur A.
Martin, vice-president; and Frank W
Marvin, second vice president; while the
other officers were fully as prominent. A
lease was obtained from the Tamalpais
Land and Water Company for large
tract OF land near Wildwood and a cricket
field, baseball diamond and shooting
range were built.
At the second annual election A. A
Martin was elected president and the
great Might in Mill Valley entertain
ment was given. After this, which was a
great success, the mem bers lost interest in
the organization and failed TO pay their
dues. The shooting range was deserted
and stock was allowed to graz. on the
clubs grounds. Financially the .organi-
cation Is in good condition, having a sur
plus OF about $500 in the treasury. An
effort will be made TO have these funds
transferred 10 the Mill Valley Improve
ment Club in order To complete the lay

In every instance the penetration was

newer powder than with the others.
Miller claims for his new powder that it
will carry for seven miles and kill at that
distance. No distance tests were made
to-day, but the others were so highly
satisfactory to the committee that they
did not hesitate to declare that the young
inventor has something that will revo-
lutionize modern warfare. and also

not divulge the secret Of his discovery, as
he has not yet applied for patent. He

of Southern California began in the Ven
tura NJ. E. Church at 2 o'clock this after
noon. Thirty five womens societies were
represented by as many delegates, and
large numbers of visitors were present.
The meetings OF the parliament are al
ways we'll attended and the attention they
attract to woman's work is widespread.
This is the first session of the parliament
held in Ventura, and the ladies of the
local organizations worked hard to make
the meeting a success. So well did they
succeed that at the close of the first days
proceedings delegates who have attended
the former parlisments say this is one of
the very best ever held.
Mrs. C. NJ. Severance of Boston, who is
credited with the organization of the first
woman's club in this country, and her
daughter, Mrs. Pierre c. Severance of the
same city, were among the noted guests
present
The meeting was called to order by the
president of the parliament, Mrs. Kate
Upper Galpin OF Los Angeles. The dele
gates representing the various organiza-

names were placed upon the roll.
The opening paper of the session was
read by Mrs. P. c. Severance, upon DUTY
OF Parents" A spirited discussion was
led by Mrs. e. NJ. Severance, aid partici-
pated in by numb Der of ladies.
Reading for Young People was the
subject of succeeding paper by Mrs. r.

delegates as to the kind of books that
should be placed in the hands of the
young.
The evening session opened at So'clock,

A WHITE LIVER

Is the kind of a liver that mean
men are supposed to carry about.
A doctor will tell you that no one
can live with a white liver.
When the liver is at all disor-
dered you are sure to have melan-
choly fits and to wish to be alone.
You will have all kinds of Curl
Gus fancies and peculiar feelings.
If the disorder is only functional
one the liver is easily restored to
its normal condition. If the dis
order has its origin in the abuse
or dissipation of the man it is not
so easily controlled. Very few
family doctors pay much atten-
ton to nervous troubles. AS a
result the man who is so afflicted
will get no, comfort if he consults
his family doctor. This being
true, hundreds of men are COM
PEELED to try other cures. AS a
result the Hudyan remedy treat
ment has been tried by many
thousands, and these thousands
have been cured. Just 10000
men say Hudyan cures. Do you
believe them? You can see their
statements in black and While.
1t is a fact. Hudyan cures fail
ing manhood, nervous debility,
neurasthenia and disorders of
man called private. You should
call on the Hudson doctors for
information about the Hudyan
remedy treatment or write for
Circulars and Testimonials.

MEDICAL coUKr-MARTIAL.

Southern Phvsicfans Charged Win
Breach of Professienat Etiquette.
ATLANTA, GA, May 4-Thirteen OF
the pest-known doctors in the South were
put on trial here by fellow physicians for
permitting their pictures and interviews
to be printed in the newspapers. A
breach of professional etiquette is charged.
A strong fight will be made by the pro-
fessional enemies of the accused men to
expel them from the medical association.
1t is believed, however, by the conserva-
tive and better class of physicians that
the charges will come to naught. The
thirteen doctors are all popular men and
have many friends. They say that the
charges were prompted ty malice and
professional jealousy. They state that the
other doctors were MAD because they did
not get the amount Of business which the
others were able to get through the adver-
tisements.
