TAKING A RELIGIOUS CENSUS
Rochester Church People Want to
Know How Many Wicked People
Live in the City.

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, March "a
In accordance with plans carefully pre-
pared, about 1900 representatives of
the various Rochester churches will
take a complete religious census this
afternoon. The work has been plan
ned for some time, and during the
last week or more circulars explain
ing the plan were distributed in the
different churches
The results which it is hoped to de-
rive from the census include the
arousing of many church members to
increased activity; a practical demon
stratiOn of a live church; many cases
of need, both temporal and spiritual,
revealed; certificates of church men,
ed; increasing attendance at many
churches and Sunday schools, and
awakening the feeling of comradeship
between members of the same
churches.
The city has been divided into about
twenty-one districts, and each one OF
the canvassers will visit about forty
houses. Even stores and business
houses will be visited and the cam
vassers have been instructed to be
perfectly frank with regard to the OBJ
ject of their visit. 1t is believed that
there will be no difficulty in obtain
ing the desired information. The
work is conducted and directed by a
committee consisting of the pastors OF
the various churches of the city, in
Guiding every denomination represent
ed by a community no matter how
small. The work will require sew
eral weeks, although the canvassing
will be finished this afternoon.

The excessive and indiscriminate
use Of medicines. in these days. cam
not be too strongly condemned. The
food you eat, if properly digested. is
all the tonic you need.
Only common sense is needed. The
food must be digested and the bowels
must not be allowed to clog. Pre-
serve your health by preventing these
conditions.
Constipation surely leads to indi-
gestion, biliousness. ETC.. and these
conditions when neglected affect the
condition Of the blood, debilitate the
system, rendering it susceptible to
more serious ailments, and less able
to resist such attacks.
If your stomach has been abused by
over-eating, weakened by drugs or
sickness, you won't have to stop eat
ing or diet yourself. All you need Is
something that will aid the stomach
in it's functions and relieve it from
being constantly irritated by I'M
digested food. The purest and SIM
plest remedy for this purpose are the
California Prune Waters. a natural
dissolvent made from the pure. fresh
fruit, general laxative and sweetener
Of the stomach-no other medicine Is
necessary.
When you are Bilious, it is a sign
that your Liver is out of order, and
the poisonous bile, instead of being
excreted from the body through the
intestines, is taken up in the blood.
AS a result of biliousness the entire
system suffers. There are gripping
pains in the Abdomen, Headaches,

Bill Chances Bright.

OH SudHCSS OtISHS'
Meanwhile, the chance that the
ways and means committee will report
bill and that that bill will pass the
house, is very bright. If the Standard
Oil company concludes to make a
fight, it will begin in the senate. The
bill in that body could be referred to
the finance committee, of which Sena-
tor Aldrich, the representative there
of the oil trust, is the chairman. 1t
would be expected that he would be
strong enough to prevent action, but
if not, then the trust through it's OPP
tons, previously secured, would be
prepared to protect itself
The interest of the oil trust lies in
the fact that alcohol, under any bill
congress might pass, would soon be-
| come a competitor with gasolene. and
kerosene for light, fuel and heat pur-
poses.
Should the bill pass the house, it is
! the opinion of such men as Represen-
tative Marshall of North Dakota that
| pressure should be brought to bear
upon the senate from all parts of the
| country.
The senate is just at present going
| through a period Of the most bitter
| denunciatiOn it has ever encounter
ed, and there is grave danger that its
be permanently shaken. 1t was this
! thought which induced it to permit
a roll call on the pure food bill a
! few weeks ago. and similar reasons
may in the end bring a roll call on
the free alcohol bill.
| If the bill can only reach a vote its
FRIENDS will be satisfied, for it will
LASS almost without "a dissent. Thu
difficulty VII be to prevent the bill
| from suffering the same fate in COM
mittee which recently befell the Phil
! ippine tariff bill.
Mr.. Marshall en- the whole, ie"-,"'le
| the situation as being satisfactory. !;e
| has heard of the Standard Oil oppoSi-
| ton, and he knows all about the Aid
rich influence in the senate. Still, he
| holds that the public, if sufficiently
aroused, can bring to bear sufficien;

| rich can do.

LOBBY WORK..

WASHINGTON, D. c., March "a
The Standard Oil company Is pre-
sition to the proposition now pend
ing before the ways and means COM
mittee for freq alcohol for the arts
and industries. Several prominent
members of the house spent two days
this week in New York, and while
there heard on high authority that the
Standard Oil company was behind the
attack on the proposed legislation
that has been made by the wood al
cohol people, and that it paid the ex-
penses of wood alcohol experts who
came to Washington to testify before
the ways and means committee.
The Standard also brought pressure
to bear upon certain New York dailies
which were at first inclined to favor
the legislation. These dailies, as a re-
suit u tHlS pressure, lilolliteilliCu q
discreet silence on the subject, and
editorial articles, in proof, advocating
the proposition, We're destroyed.
After Big DistilIeries.
While all this has been going on,
it is also said by these members who
have today returned from New York,
the Standard Oil company is prepar-
ing to get options on most of the
large distilleries in the country. This
is the way the sugar trust protected
itself against Cuban reciprocity sew
eral years ago 1t bought 81 per cent
of the stock of the American Beet
sugar factories.
The Standard Oil company is thus
preparing to follow the sugar trust
example, and in the event there is leg
islation will be in position to domi-
nate a large part of the situation by
owning enough distilleries to make the
| competition of the small independents
difficult.

YALE MEN POLITE TO CO-EDS.
Potter Than Harvard Men. the Girl Students
Ray-But Cupid Isn't Busy.

@
New HAVEN, March 1O.--The Yale stu
dents are more polite thar the Harvard
students. at least that is what the twenty
five or so Yale co-eds say. Although the
Vale men did not grow enthusiastic when
It was announced a few years ago that Yale
was going to follow the example OF the
Cambridge university and allow the women
to study with them, at least in the gradu-
ate school, they didn't make any violent
objection to the plan, and started in at once
to take the change as pleasantly as possible
Now they have grown accustomed TO re-
citing before an occasional schoolnla'am
or a Young college alumna, and apparently
thew are more at ease than the young women
themselves.
"Tbe Yale men, even il they don't like
! rs around" said one of the girl students OF
| the graduate school, 'are too polite to show
Il. at any rate, and in that they are one ahead
| Of the Harvard students. They don't like
,s in the class room up there, and they are
not so careful to hide their preferences
! she laughingly added.
The Young Women who CONT here gen
| erallv are Interested only In their work,
and are not looking for any social features
incidental to college life. Thus one young
woman who graduated from Mount Hol-
| yoke College in 1905 and is taking work in
i enconomics here is studying sociological
problems by living at a mission hall.
There she has an opportunity to study
practical problems in sociology. She lives
among the people whom she is studying,
and her daily round of pleasure or work,
when not on the Yale campus, If among
But although the Yale goods don't mingle
much socially with either the Yale under
graduates or the graduate students or
Young professors, they have their own
club. mo men allowed is the clubs motto;
Some Of the club members do a good deal
OF their studying and writing there, while
others only go there at rare Intervals LOT
recreation.
In the last winter the goods have held
some social affairs away from the CLUB
generally at the boarding houses where
the young women live. Occasionally the
wife Of a young professor has been invited
to one Of these gatherings, but she was
always obliged to leave her husband at
home. for the motto of the club has been
strictly enforced at these gatherings.
The men students, on the contrary, well
come their associates among tine, young
women at their classical, mathematical and
other clubs here, and frequently the paper
of the evening is read by one OF the goods.
These clubs are, however, societies for
research, and the members are interested
more in the intellectual side OF the affair
than the social.
Although Cupid can hardly be said to do
a land office business among the Yale goods,

here at the graduate school. Last year
