Proposal to Try Ian moclaren for Heresy.


London, April SAT a meeting yes
terdas Of the Durham presby terry TO ar
range for the impending meeting OF the
synod there, Rev. j. Middlemass Of
Sunderland remarked that D. Kennedy
Moore had laid upon the table OF the
synod petition charging the Rev, John
Watson c Ian Maelaren), the well-known
novelist, with detective, if not errone-
GUS views. DR.. Moore's pamphlet, pro-
mitigating the charge, had been sent to
every MINISTRY in the presbytery. A
letter had, however, been printed in tn
magazine, the Presbyterian, in which the
moderator, DR.. BalRannie, contended
that DR.. Moore's views were unsound
and might similarly be described as de-
fective if not erroneous.
Mr. Middlemass suggested that the
moderator also table a petition regard
ing Or. Moore. He added that the spec
taole of three doctors of divinity engaged
in triangular theological combat might
not perhaps be edifying, but anyhow it
let the world see how they viewed one
another and what they regarded AZ OF
supreme vital Importance in church life.
He was sure, if DR.. .Balgannie charged
DR.. Moors with holding defective, if
not erroneous views of DR.. Watson g
teaching. he would have the whole
presDytery of Durham at his back.

Allies TAX Law.
What Judge Acheson said When
He Killed II.


Pittsburg, Aug. 3l.-Judge Ache
son has rendered decision in the
United States Circuit Court declar-
ing the alien tax law unconstitu-
tiopal. After reciting the provisions s
of the act. the Judge concludes:
As the employer is authorized to
deduct from the wages of the en-
ploye the prescribed tax, it is quite
clear that the tax is upon the employe
and not upon the employer. The
court is here called upon to consider
whether these provisions of this act
are in conflict with the United States
Constitution. The l4th amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States declares, NOR shall any State
deprive any person of life, liberty
or property without due process of
law. nor deny to any person within
it's jurisdiction the equal protection
OF the law.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from
imperfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local
treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidnevs is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the
bladder, was created for one purposes,
and il not doctored too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except
in rare cases. 1t Is situated back of
and very close to the bladder there's
fore any pain, disease or inconveni-
ence manifested in the kidneys. back,
bladder or urinary passage Is often, by
mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be
as easily avoided. To find out COR
rectly, set your urine asida for twenty
four hours. a sediment or settling
indicates kidney or bladder trouble.
