We are placed, by our ENJOYS at The
Hague, In a somewhat disagreeable posi-
ton in regard to this matter. Our repre-

tinue to advocate the confscation OF pri-
waite property at sea In war time. and
the so-called advantages OF the most
murderous Of all proJectiles, the dunn

our representatives at the conference

the maintenance Of a system of legalized
piracy IN regard to the floating property
Of b~illlgerents. Further. We ave point

its very numbers and Worldwide dispo-
sition. and yet our Representatives are
told to continue to uphold an attitude
more IN accordance with the tradition
of a buccaneer than of a civilized nation.
In his connection We regret TO see SO
reputable a publication as The Spectator

advantages, we shall not agree to this,
for the balance of benefit is decidedly

MISSIONARY WORK.
Women's Home Society of
the Newark Conference
Now in Session.
IspeeIal q ..The Jeraey Sly News."l

NEWARK, Oct. Z, 1Sss.-Missionary
work was reviewed yesterday morning at
the fifteenth annual session OF the
Woman's Home Missionary Society of the
Newark Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. The session was held
in the Central NJ. E. Church and the wom-
en- were given something in the line Of a
parliamentary drill by the vice president,
Mrs. w. Z. Drake, Of Jersey City.
AS soon as the devotional exercises were
closed, n just before the business Of
the day had been entered upon. the presi-
dent, Mrs. c. s. Woodruff. Of Dover, made
a request that no whispering be done dur
ing the reading of reports. She asked that
all necessary communications between the
member be carried on in writing. A little
later Mrs. Drake arose to explain how the
chair should be addressed. She said she
WAS "a stickler for some things"
Several reports were then submitted and
when some Of the members started to dis
cuss the statements they were interrupted
by Mrs. Drake. who said the speakers
were out OF order Until recognized by the
chair A moment later one Of the mem
bers said
Madam President-I-'-but she got no
further. for Mrs. Drake objected, al
though the President recognized the
speaker. and seemed inclined to hear her.
The speaker Joined in the general laugh
that followed Mrs. brakes interruption
end took her seat.
r. w. H. Morgan welcomed the wom-
en- to his church. He declared that 1t was
necessary for religious workers TO believe
In the power Of God and to accept all con-
ditions accompanying such work in hum
bic obedience.
.One thing is apparent to all who watch
the process Of Christianity said the
clergyman, that is the recognition of the
direct work of women in our churches.
We can scarcely estimate the value of
the woman missionary and the woman
who helps the missionary. but we at
least now recognize our sisters as CO.
workers"
Mrs. T. r. Frost responded to the words
of welcome, and tok advantage Of the OPP

THE WORRIED MAN's FRIEND
The mind reacts on the body
in a wonderful way.
Perturbation of mind and
anxiety cause any predisposition
to disease to develop into actual
disease.
Many a man who has fallen
a victim to Bright's disease Of

manifestation to a time when
he was struggling for financial
life in q very sea Of troubles.
What can be done under
such circumstances to avoid q
probably mortal disease
Why, follow the example OF
thousands, who now bless its
discovery, and take Warmers

1t is a remedy that can be
relied upon. q remedy that
