TASK WILL TAKE TIME.
President Preparing to Garry Out
Wishes of Peace Congress.

Washington, Oct 1.-THE president
is preparing to redeem his promise to
the delegates to the interparliamentary
peace conference to secure another
meeting of plenipotentiaries OF the
powers signatory to The Hague con-
vention with view to revising and
adding to that instrument. Complex
machinery of this kind is difficult to
set in motion and if the ordinary
course is followed in these negotia-
lions it will be at least year and
probably a longer period before the
meeting can be held. It will be neces-
sary for the state department to ad-
dress separate notes to every govern
ment represented at the last confer
ence inviting suggestions as to the
time and place of meeting and, with
out doubt, in the spirit of caution that
is always exhibited by diplomats, many
of these governments will, before Civ
ing their assent to the proposed con-
ference, seek to secure an ironclad
agreement as to the scope of the con-
ference. Many limitations are expect
ed to be proposed in this way and it
is realized that much difficulty will be
experienced in securing harmony.

telling his conviction that the whole
theology of Calvin is untrue and that,
1.-The dogma Of endless torment for the
sins Of this life, as long as I keep my
reason and trust in the infinite love of
God, Is the most impossible of all
things to believe" He has come to be-
lieve that "the doctrine of the fall of
man in Adam, upon which the whole
scholastic theology depends, Is blum
der, fraught with the most disastrous
consequences" and that this race is not
a fallen race but that 1--WE are children
of God who have moved forward from
a very low plane of life to a more ex-
allied one and are still moving with a
progress that may not haste and never
rests" Further, he says the doctrine
of the trinity has never brought to
him zone ray Of light" although he
fully accepts Jesus Christ % the we'll
beloved Son Of God. So believing, he
asks for letter to the Congregational
association unless the presbytery Shall
decide that any one so believing, but
accepting the gospel, may remain in it's
ministry.

Suffering
Will Not Help Your
Disease, but Will
Weaken Your
Nerves.

Folks who think it is better to bear
pain than Soothe it-are wrong.
Old-fashioned doctors used to say it
was better, because they had nothing
with which to ease pain but dangerous,
heart-paralyzing drugs.
But now, that a safe remedy has
been found, DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills,
it is wrong to suffer, for nothing can be
gained but weakened nerves.
A safe rule to remember is: When
in pain, take an Anti-Pain Pill.
This will soothe your quivering nerves.
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills relieve pain
by restoring the natural secretions, in
which they differ from opium and sim
liar narcotic drugs, which relieve pain
by checking the action of the glands.
They are sure and harmless, and are
the latest medical treatment for the
cure of Headache, Neuralgia, Backache,
rheumatism, Dizziness, Toothache,
Stomachache, Menstrual (Monthly)
Pains. Also nerve irritations like Sea-
Sickness, Car Sickness, Sleeplessness,
Indigestion, etc.
Pleasant to take, quick in results.
81 have used DR.. Miles Pain
Pills for sick, nervous headache. and
tily recommend their curative proper
ties, for they are successful. '-REV.

Growth of American Railways.
Professor H. G. Adams has compiled
for the interstate commerce commits
sion the statistics of American rail-

At the close of that year there were
2O7,977 miles of railway in this coun-

were 42,781 locomotives in use and
1,753, $3.50 cars. To operate the Ameri-

their living from railways. The total
