Iowa City, April 9.-The recent at
tacks on the university, on account of
alleged tendencies to infidelity on the
part of certain of the instructors in the
school, are the subject of much con-
demnation on the part of the members
of the faculty and of the local minis
try of this city The men who made
the attacks were evidently lacking sta
tistics of the matter and speaking
from mere hearsay premises, for a
careful canvass of the religious condi-
tons of the school does not bear out
the statements of the Des Moines min
Very decidedly.
Out of about 1900 students in the
university at the present time, 2,027
have either expressed themselves in
favor of certain religious denomina-
ton. or as active church members. OF
this number. 1913 are actual COM
municants in some Christian church.
OF about 200 members of the faculty
of the institution. not one, so far as
can be learned. Is inclined to atheism.
President Mclean himself is re-
tired Presbyterian minister. The sci
ence department. which bore the brunt
of the attack on the part of the Des
Moines divines, is conspicuous TOR its
Christian instructors, and many of
these make distinct effort to recon
Gle The teachings of science with those
of Christianity. The same is true of the
department of philosophy. The depart
menr of psychology, as an instance. is
repeatedly called on by the local min
istry to lend its aid in special study
of the gospels. Every one of the nine
deans of the different colleges in the
university is actively connected with
some church. A carefully compiled
statement by DR.. Stearns, who has
made a special study of the matter in
the larger universities of the country,
shows that Iowa has the largest num-
Der of protesting Christians among its
students of any school in the United
States. In view of these statistics, the
members of the university are inclined
to question the good faith of the par
ties who made the statements. and to
at least insist that they were sadly
lacking in a knowledge of the condi-
tions, both at Iowa and in other uni

koko1n0 Woman
Gives Fortune
To Help Women Who Suffer.

In the past few years Mrs. Cora B.
Miller has spent $125,000.0o in giving
medical treatment to afflicted women.
Some time ago we announced in the
columns of this paper that she would
send free treatment to every woman
who suffered from female diseases or
piles.
More than a million women have ac-
copied this generous offer, and as Mrs.
Miller is still receiving requests from
thousands of women from all parts OF
the world who have not yet used the
remedy she has decided to continue the
offer for awhile longer, at least.
This is the simple, mild and harmless
preparation that has cured so many
women in the privacy of their homes
after doctors and other remedies failed.
1t is especially prepared for the
speedy and permanent cure Of leucor-
rhoea or whitish discharges, ulcera-
ton, displacements or falling of the
womb, profuse, scanty or painful peri
