Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BLUFFTON, Ind, Dec. 5.-The Terrell
murder trial to-day brought out little testi-
mony Of interesting nature, consisting
chiefly of evidence Of witnesses introduced
by the defense to show that Terrell was
laboring under temporary insanity when
he shot his son-in-law three times with a
shotgun on July II last. The defense also
introduced testimony to show that Terrell's
grandfather had been afflicted with mental
trouble and Authorizations, and that other
relatives also were of weak mind. The
testimony of Bert Stokey was introduced
to show why, on the night previous to the
shooting, Terrell was in Petroleum with
shotgun In his buggy Stokey said he had
asked Terrell to loan him his gun on that
night to take to a "belling," but that he
did not get 1t because the "belling'' was
called off, Stokey said he was in town
on Saturday previous to the shooting and
that Terrell wanted TO file affidavits against
Wolfe and another man with whom his
son had trouble. Stokey denied that Ter
rell on that day threatened, in his hearing,
to seek Justice with a shotgun.
Court adjourned until 3 o'clock Monday
as Judge Smith has TO be at Portland for
the opening day OF court there. Terrell's
wife was too weak and worn to be in
court to-day.

ON FOOD

Proper food is the foundation of health.
People can eat improper food for time

The proper way out OF the difficulty Is
to shift to the pure. scientific food,
Grape-Nuts. for It rebuilds from the
foundation up. A New Hampshire woman
SAYS: Last summer was suddenly taken
with indigestion and severe stomach trouble
and could not eat food without great pain:
my stomach was sore i could hardly
move about. This kept up until 1 was so
miserable life was not worth living.
Then a friend finally, after much argu-
ment, induced me TO try Grape-Nuts food
and quit my regular food. Although had

Nuts and soon a marked Improvement was
shown, for my stomach was performing its

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.--Twelve religious
bodies were represented In a conference
just held to consider uniform action on d.
vorce and remarriage. They were the Bap-
tist, Methodist, Covenanter, Presbyterian,
United Presbyterian, Episcopal. Unitarian,
Universalist, Congregational, Lutheran. Re-
formed and German Reformed The chair
man Of the meeting was Bishop Doane. Of
Albany. and to him, in response to an in
vitation, Archbishop Farley, Of New York.
sent a very courteous letter, saying that the
attitude of the Roman Catholic Church is
so we'll known that he deemed it hardly
worth while, in a busy season of the year,
to take time to discuss the matter. 1t was
the first general meeting of Protestants.
and 1t came together by invitation of Prot
estant Episcopal action. Oddly, the Epis-
copal members, at this first session, were
the only ones to disagree among them
selves. The outcome Of the meeting had
two phases. One was TO urge ministers
of all Protestant bodies faithfully here
after to enforce their own standards. This,
it was recognized. they do not do. The
other was to decide to meet again next
February to discuss comfy. Expressions
in favor Of comfy were strong.
Common action by all Protestant min
listers in this matter of remarriage after
divorce will have far-reaching effect. The
thing which these conferees are considering
and may recommend in February is that
each minister shall respect the law obtain
ing in every other religious body, well
as the law obtaining in his own. Almost
all persons going to ministers of the gos-
pei, of whatever name. claim to belong
somewhere. Few persons admit no sort of
connection anywhere A couple present
ing themselves to be married will be MEM
bers of the minister's own congregation.
He will enforce his own church law. Or
they will be members of some other They
will be asked why they do not go to a min
lister of the religious body they claim TO
belong to. If they have done so, and been
refused marriage on legal grounds, the
minister to whom they next apply will,
under common rules of all bodies. be COM
PEELED to refuse them also. He may not
himself adhere to the law of the other body,
but he will obey 1t.
1t was said by one of the members of this
common committee that the feeling in IL
is to the effect that conditions are so bad
that something must be done. He thinks
comfy will be agreed upon at the February
be enforced. The ultimate aim Of the COM
mittee, which is official, having been APP
pointed by representative bodies, is TO Sc
cure uniform laws on the whole subject OF
divorce and remarriage.
