WOODMEN CLING
TO THEIR OLD RAJ
ANNOUNCE WITHDRAWAL FROM
THE NATIONAL FRATERN-
AL CONGRESS.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 1.-The Modern
Woodmen of America has withdrawn
from membership of the national fra
ternal congress, a federated organiza-
ton with about so affiliated societies
This action has been contemplated by
officials of the Woodmen for several
months, practically since the last ses-
sion of the congress at Buffalo, a
year ago, when by close vote a reso-
luton was carried which committed
the affiliated societies to the policy
of asking state legislatures to enact
laws providing minimum table of
assessment rates to be charged by
all societies alike.
Head Consul Talbot declares the en-
actment of such a measure would re-
quire the collection of assessments
at least 20 per cent. higher than the
death rate demands at this time. The
Woodmen officials are discussing the
advisability of forming a new feder-
alton of societies not satisfied with
the action of the national fraternal
congress.

NEW TYPE OF MERGER.
Eastern Case Tests Union of Steam

Boston, Aug. IA demurrer as
sweeping as legal phraseology could
make and offering objection both to
form and substance of the petition,
was the answer lfiled yesterday in
the United States circuit court here
Ny New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad company, as de
PENDANT in the action brought against
it by the United States government
to dissolve the merged AS filed the
demurrer is in three pits, in the
first of which the road appears as q
corporation in three states In the
second the roads demurs as having
formerly been the Consolidated Rail
road company, a Connecticut corpora
ton. The third embraces demur-
rer of the province of the securities
company The main contention in
each part of the demurrer, and all
three parts are practically Identical
in many specifications, is that the pc
tition is uncertain in its statements
concerning the alleged violations of
the interstate commerce act.
Upon the decision of this case
largely depends the right of electric
and steam roads to consolidate, and
because the general principal of the
right to merge is involved, the case
is of vast Importance.

PLAIN TRUTH.

"As I have had 80 years experience

to the subject.
my appetite began to fail. food dis

the doctor, taking digestive prepare
tons to help the stomach, and cathar-
tics to move the bowels. frequently
having attacks Of terrible pain in tho
bowels which would necessitate call
ing the doctor. II
After many years of this. I be-
{, came convinced that something must
be done.
'At last I got hold of Postum and
began using II In place OF coffee and
have continued to use IL daily for the
past six years. The improvement was
gradual, but sure. For the system re-

The change from coffee to Postum

that man 81, with two years and

worth OF walks had been laid by the

was a loss.

A large number OF these instances
