Machine to Smoke Cigars

A machine to smoke cigars, an
ingenious device for testing
scientifically the burning quail
ties of tobacco, is being used by
students of the University of
Wisconsin in connection with
their work on tobacco fermenta-
ton. The machine is employed
to smoke the cigars automatical-
ly, so that an exact determine
ton may be maze ~ regard to
how the tobacco burns. The
variation due to the different
manner and conditions of smok-
ing by different men is thus eli
minated; and the test is brought
to a practical basis which makes
possible a jdst comparison of re-
suits.

THREE sEcTs WILL UNITE.
eaptists, Free Baptists and Disciples
Find Common Ground.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-The first practical
step for uniting the three religious de-
nominations that believe in baptism by
immersion was accomplished at the
National Congress OF Baptists held In
this city when the following resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, that we most heartily APP
prove the election of Diciples and Free
Baptist ministers to membership In the
executive committee, which has al
ready resulted In the enlargement of
our program for this congress.
Resolved. that in order to unite the
Disciples congress with our own we
request their executive committee in
conference with our own executive
committee to take immediate steps to
perfect such a union"
AS the Disciples and Free Baptists
who were present at the meeting We're
unanimous in their opinion that their
people would heartily approve of this
consolidation, 1t was accepted as a
certainty that hereafter all three de-
nominations will be equal participants
in a national annual congress.
As an experiment the Disciples and
Free Baptists were invited to par,tic-
irate i'm the three days program this
year, and they are we'll represented

Former Ice King Will Remain in
Tombs for Present.
New York. Nov. 11.-Charles w
Morse, f1nancier and former ice king
will remain in the Tombs for the
present. Bail was denied him at the
closing Of the United States circuit
court of appeals yesterday. Argu-
ment on the writ of error that has been
granted him may come up Dec 3. when
he expects another change in his fight
against the fifteen years penitentiary
sentence now bearing upon him. Judges
Lacombe, Ward. and Coke decided that
while bail was denied. it was done 50
without prejudice to a renewal of the
application after a bill OF particulars
is fled"
The judges stated briefly that as the
trial judge in the proceedings against
Morse had refused to admit him to
bail, the reviewing judges were not
prepared on the papers submitted to
them to make disposition Of the mo-
ton.
Morse had been hopeful Of gaining
his release from the Tombs today, and
the denial of bail came as a har1
blow. His wife and son Harry had
been with him in the Jail during the
afternoon and they encouraged him In
the belief that he would be free by
nightfall.

And Incidentally Constipation, Coated
Tongue, Nervousness, Headache, and
Other Symptoms.
Did you ever know that the stomach
is a churn? That just as soon as you
are done eating, the healthy stomach
commences to roll food around, and
mikes 1t thoroughly with the juices of
the stomach?
And did you know, dear reader. that
If the stomach is run down or flabby,
so that it cannot do the churning, that
dyspepsia is the result?
If the food is not churned, it lays
heavily on your stomach. turns sour,
and causes all kinds of distressing
symptoms. such as headache, coated
tongue, constipation. etc.
And so, as every physician will tell
you the way to cure dyspepsia is to fix
the churn, or in other words, build up
the stomach so that 1t will properly
mix the food
II you have dyspepsia and want to
get rid of 1t before it gets rid of you,
