This makes freak treatment quite
harmless. Psychologists find that as
the body is starved fat and sugar dis

LEAVE THE OLD CHURCH
Sunday Was the Last .uay Congrega.
tionalists Will Occupy the Old
Church.

When Pastor Bowdish delivered
his sermon in the Congregational
church Sunday morning, he announc-
ed that it was the last Sunday that
the old church would be occupied.
The new church is not entirely fin
ished, but the basement is in such
condition that it can be utilized for
worship and beginning next Sunday
the services will be held in that part
of the new church.
Work on the auditorium part is
progressing nicely, and Mr.. Bowdish
stated that in all probability the new
church would be ready for dedication
about the middle of January.
In the curse of his sermon Mr..
Bowdish reviewed the % years that
had been spent in the old church
building, which, he said, was the
place of many hallowed memories,
of experiencing new life and of new
hopes and faith made real. The old
church is left in sadness, but tenn
pered by the hope for larger things
as made possible in the new church
and its equipment.
In the % years the membership
has reached a totality of 465, 177
by confession and 28S by letter.
There have been 289 removed-22
by death, 211 by letter and Sc drop
ped. A considerable amount of
money has been raised in the az
years, the exact amount being $27,-
900 and $1,000 was raised for be-
%nevolent purposes. Ten pastors have
presided over the congregation in
the 81 years, M pastor having been
called twice.
The new church stands just west
of the site of the old one, which will
be sold and removed perhaps next
spring. The architectural design is
attractive and will be a valuable ad-
dition to the churches of the city. 1t
is built of brick and trimmed with
Black Hills stone. 1t is heated with
steam and is equipped with every
thing to make it comfortable and a
pleasant home for the members.

REPUBLICAN PARTY
FRIEND OF LABOR
James E. Watson Explains His
Own Labor Record at
Lafayette.
THE CAMPAIG Is WEARING
SPEAKS ALTHOUGH HE is ILL
TAKES ANOTHER FIRM STAND
FOR COUNTY LOCAL OPTION
DURING SPEECH.

Lafayette, Ind, Sept. 26.-1ames E.
Watson, the republican nominee for
governor, and r. H. Langford of Ne
braska addressed large audience at
the Opera house last night, when the
campaign in Tippecanoe county was
formally opened.
Mr.. Watson was ill and spoke but a
short time. His arduous work in In
dianapolis during the last few days
has told on him and he spent part of
the day in bed, being compelled to
cancel his engagements to speak at
Purdue and the Monon shops. His
voice was husky and it was with diff
Guilty he made himself heard.
Mr.. Watson launched into the local
option question as soon as he began
to speak and declared that it is i'm
perative that the house pass the op-
ton bill today or as soon as a vote is
taken on it.
The speaker defended the county as
a unit because it is the logical unit
under the Indiana system of regulat-
ing the saloons. But in addition to
that, he declared the issue is moral
one and the republicans are always
to the front and first in line in every
thing that pertains to the good of the
state and its people.
Mr.. Watson called the democrats to
account on their platform declaration,
saying it was never intended to be
anything but snare to capture the
unwary temperance vote. He declar-
ed the people have caught Mr.. Mar
shall and his brewery hackers" in
their own trap, for the transparent
fraud attempted to be thrust upon
them by the democracy.
Speaks to Labor.
Last night in Mr. Watsons audience
were hundreds of men who belong to
the labor unions and who were inter-
ested in what he had to say on the
subject of labor almost as much as on
the option question. Hundreds grasp
ed the opportunity to meet him and
express their friendliness to him. He
told them the republican party was
the laboring mans friend now and al
ways and recited the national and
state legislation enacted by the re-
publicans in interest of labor.
Mr.. Watson made it clear to his
hearers that he stands now and has
always stood on every important la
Dor measure on which he had an op-
portunity to vote as the friend of Ia
Dor While Mr. WatSon,e oddrocc Wy, 81
short 1t was convincing and the repub-
licans here are highly gratified over
the results of the first meeting.
Mr.. Watson returned to INDIANAPOLIS
last night.
