hostile Filipinos capturing natives who were
friendly to Americans and tying them to ant
hills to be deyoured by these rayenous insects.
Swarms of these ants will attack piece Of
meat, and in remarkably short time deyour
every particle of it, leaving the bones clean
and white. While this is not a pleasant re-
Election, it nevertheless describes correctly the
working OF disease germs. They swarm in
myrlads to a weakened lung, to an oozing
sore, to a disordered kidney, and to other
organs of the body. and unless interrupted
in their work by powerful medicines which
kill them and eject them from the system,
they tear down and deyour the very vitals
that we want most to protect. The surest
and absolutely never-failing way to tell what
kind of germs are in the blood-hence what
kind OF disease one has or may be going to
have, is to look at these little assassins, and
see just what they are. The powerful glass
in the hands of an expert never lies. When
you know precisely what ails you, then you
know how to treat it intellgently. Many
people go laundering along in the dark, TAX
ing this thing and that for disease, some
times striking it, but more frequently miss
ing; then wonder why the medicine which
cures pains in the chest doesn t cure them of
consumption, when perhaps all that causes
those pains in their case is indigestion. Many
diseases have similar symptoms. The only
sure way to detect disease is to examine at
the foundation, and not depend too mnch

the firm of George H. Phillips e. Co.
on the Chicago Board of Trade, was shot
and seriously wounded early Sunday
morning as he lay in bed at his Chicago
residence at 797 Monroe street. Six shots
were fred. three taking effect, one be
hind the left ear, one entering his nose
and the other SCATTERING his right arm.
Considerable mystery surrounds he

and her husband were asleep, when Mr.,
Hill was awakened by the forcing of a
lock on the bedroom door. He reached
for his revolver, but before he could use
it. three men rushed into the room and
fred at him. The first shot awoke Mrs.

shouted for help. The police responded

ADOPTS CREED CHANGE.
Presbyterian General Assembly Take
Quick Action.

Quick Action.
The general assembly of the Presbyte-
fian Church, in session at New York.
adopted the report of the committee on
creed revision, making changes in the
confession of faith. This action, which
was virtually unanimous, was taken with
little or no debate. The changes propos-
ed viii go to the presbyteries for ratiti-
cation. There were only two dissenting
votes. The present confession of faith
has been an institution since the church
was first established. and over it there
has been argument and dispute for more
than a century.
The most significant changes as tend
ing to show the increased liberality OF The
church are those relating to infant dam
nation and the Pope.
In the revised creed the old text has
been changed to read: ''We believe all dy-
Ing in infancy are included in the elac-
ton of grace and are regenerated and
saved by Christ through the spirit who
works when and how He pleases." The
Pope of Rome is 10 longer referred TO
In the confession of faith as anti-Christ,
which was the term formerly used. A
new chapter was added to the confession
of faith concerning the love of God for
all men, missions and the Holy Spirit.

were not in that form are made declara-
