PRESBYTERIANS END
TEMPERANCE FIGHT
THEY ADOPT RESOLUTIONS APP
PROVING WORK OF THE
ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE.
Call II Safe and Sound-The Final
Vote Came After Two Hours of Ex-
citing Debate-Text of the Resolu-
tons Adopted.

Columbus, o., May 23.-Following
two hours of exciting debate, which,
at times, became acrimonious and
verged upon personalities, the Pres
byterian general assembly Wednesday
at the close of one of the liveliest
sessions in it's history adopted with
out dissenting vote resolutions de-
claring as its policy that the perma-
nent committee on temperance shall
not embark upon or interfere in po-
litical work and endorsing the Ameri-
can Anti-Saloon league as a safe,
sane and effective organization in the
advancement of the great cause of
temperance" and pledging to it the
fullest cooperation consistent with
the constitution of the church"
The Resolutions.
Whereas, The Presbyterian church
has always stood for the separation of
the church and state and the assembly
believes that the church in it's or
ganized capacity should not, through
any of its agencies, be entangled with
the political organizations of the
state, while urging upon it's members
as Christian voters to take active in
terest in political affairs, bringing to
the service of the state conscientious
performance of civic duties; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the assembly de-
clares as its policy that the permanent
committee on temperance shall not
interfere in political primaries, advo-
cate the election or defeat of candi-
dates for political Office, enter into
the organization of campaigns, frame
bills for presentation to the legis-
latures, lobby before legislatures, or
otherwise entangle the church with
the political activities of the state,
provided that nothing herein may be
construed as limiting the constitu-
tional right of petition as granted in
our standards.
Whereas, We contend that the
church as an organization must con-
tinue to do it's own temperance work
Resolved, That the general assem-
bly, of the Presbyterian church, u. S.
A., most heartily commends the
American Anti-Saloon league as
sane, safe and effective organization
in the advancement of the great cause
OF temperance and pledges thereto to
the fullest cooperation consistent with
the constitution of the church"

naming in their hands uninvested.
Kansas City, Mo-, was unanimously
selected as the place for the next

Medical Education.
MIMI,

The changes of the past 25 years
In medical education have been moth
ing short of a revolution, and yet at
. conference of medical educators in
Chicago 1t was stated by one delegate
that three-fourths of the graduates
were UNFIT to practice medicine. The
condition of medical education in this
country SO years ago was almost be-
yond belief. There were medical col
leges in Chicago that graduated two
classes year. In single town in
northern Illinois nine men were prac-
ticing medicine, of whom two had di-
plomas AID the rest were druggists,
ex-hospital stewards from the army
and men Vho had taken one course Of
lectures The immediate result of the
enactment of the medical practice act
was the departure of 1,400 practition-
ers from the state, some of whom COM
pleted their medical studies, but most
of them practiced where there was
not so much law. At conference in
Chicago the other day, says the Phil
adelphia Record, DR.. Means, chairman
of the judicial council of the Associa-
ton of American Medical Colleges,
said that the average man admitted to
practice was deficient in knowledge
of bacteriology, chemistry, physiology
and anatomy. Fifty-eight per cent. of
the men in rs states who fail at their
final examination pass a few weeks
later. I'm the few days intervening
where do they get their knowledge?
They don't get it, They simply learn
the answers to the questions, and the
same questions are asked them at the
denomination. Evidently the reform
of medical education, although much
has aeen done, is not yet complete.

Wheat Passes S1.05,

Chicago, May 23.-Amid the widest
scene yet presented on the Chicago
Board of Trade at it's opening Wednes
day December wheat took the big
gest jump in the present campaign. II
scared 5A cents over the dollar mark
at the very opening of the pit The
panic in the pit was almost terrifying

dollar mark. No May wheat was sold

~'hiskers."

"Whiskers" was word formerly
used to designate the hair on the up
per lip. Scott more than once speaks
of "whiskers on the upper lip" and so
does Defoe in Robinson Crusoe."
Johnson defined 'whisker" as the
hair growing on the upper lip or cheek
unshaven; a mustachio." 1t seems to
resemblance to small brush, to
"whisk" properly meaning to sweep,
and "whisker" having been a par
ticular kind of feather brush-also, in
the slang of a former time, a switch
or rod. In the seventeenth century a
"whisker' signified among other
things brazen lie, "whopper."

pointment by President Roosevelt as

formally adjourned its session of this
year.

WEAK PEOPLE
MADE STRONG AND ENERGETIC
BY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
General Breakdown Caused by Def
eient Blood Quickly Corrected by
This Tonic Remedy,

A feeling of general weakness, poor
appetite, loss of breath after the slight
est exercise and broken sleep are some
of the symptoms of general debility.
You may think that they have no relation
to each other and that you will worry
along, hoping all the time to feel better
soon. This is a mistake, for every one
of the symptoms is caused by bad blood,
which must be made pure and new
before health will be restored again. A
tonic treatment is necessary and for this
purpose there is no better remedy than
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Mr.. J. G. Havey, of 95 Willow ST.,
Chelsea, Mass, says: 81 was sick for q
number of years from general debility
and indigestion. was never free from
stomach trouble and my nerves were so
shattered that the least excitement un-
fitted me for any serious work. My
sleep was restless on account of terrible
pains in the small of my back. These
pains would sometimes last for month
or two. My sight grew weak, there SEEM
ing to be q blur constantly before my
eyes. couldn't concentrate my mind
on my work, and the attempt to do SO
completely exhausted me.
L WAS uudlly lOICcu W give up d
position I had held for twenty -eight
years. After trying several medicines
without help, read of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and gave them trial. They
made me feel so much better and so
much stronger that started in business
for myself here in Chelsea. I have
never had a return of my former sick
ness and cheerfully recommend DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills as an excellent nerve
and blood tonic"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have long
been recognized as an excellent tonic
remedy in cases of indigestion and gen.
eral debility, where the stomach and
other organs of the body are weakened
and disordered simply through lack Of
proper nourishment. They have also
been especially successful in curing
an8mia, rheumatism, after-effects of the
grip and fevers.
A pamphlet on "Diseases of the
Blood" and copy of our diet book will
be sent free on request to anyone inter-
ested.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on receipt
of price, 80 cents per box, six boxes for
$3.50, by the DIR. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

JUDGE. ANTHONY, OF MISSOURI,
RECOMMENDS THAT CHAR

Three Prominent Companies, He Says,
Have Entered Into an Agreement to
Control Prices-Supreme Court
Has the Authority to Gust.

Jefferson City, Mo-, May 25.-Judge
Robert A. Anthony, appointed by the
supreme court of Missouri to take tes-
timony in the suit begun by Attorney
General Hadley against the Standard
Oil company, the Waters-Pierce Oil
company and the Republic Oil COM
pany, charging a conspiracy, Friday
reported that the three companies en-
tered an agreement to control prices.
He recommends that their charters be
revoked and that they be barred from
the state, and holds that the supreme
court has the authority to make the
ruling of custer.
The findings sustain all the conten-
lions of Attorney General Hadley in
the petition filed with the court The
report will be reviewed by the SUI
preme court
Suit Is Two Years Old.
Attorney General Hadley filed the
ago, charging that the Standard Oil
company, the Waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany and the Republic Oil company
were in a trust and were parties to
conspiracy to control the price of
oil and petroleum products in Mis-
souri,, and to limit and prevent compe-
tition in the oil business.
Judge Anthony, of Fredericktown,
Mo-, was appointed by the supreme
court to take testimony and report
his finding to the court. More than a
year has been occupied in the taking
of the testimony, witnesses having
been examined in New York, st Louis
and other cities.
Power of the Court.
If the report should be affirmed and
the findings of the commissioner
adopted by the court, the court will
then have power to take from the
Waters-Pierce Oil company, which is
Missouri corporation, its franchise
rights as a corporation. With regard
to the Standard and Republic COM
panies, both of which are foreign cor
porations, the court would have power
to cancel their right to do business in
Missouri. The court may impose fines
on the defendants.
