In war and first in peace share in the homage
accorded the first family OF England.
Edward I. was himself mighty warrior, and

when the throne became his own he success

GEORGE OF kingly bearing and equally long legs.
That this direct line OF descent has not until
now been established may seem bit surpris-
ing In view OF the exhaustive research that has
been devoted to the Washington ancestry The
reason Is, however not difficult to understand
when one reflects that such research has been
concerned exclusively with the male line while
this royal blood is introduced into the family

GOOD CHANGE
Coffee to Postum.

The large army Of persons who have
found relief from many chronic all
ments by changing from coffee to
Postum as daily beverage. is grow

II is only a simple question OF trying
1t for oneself in order to know the joy
OF returning health as realized by an
Ills. young lady. She writes:
Il had been a coffee drinker nearly
all my life and 1t affected my stomach

without headache. ! had heard about
Postum and how beneficial 1t was, 80

Il was delighted with the change

strong and can eat without suffering
afterwards. ! think my whole system

he pushed on.
When the sky looked blackest he would plan
some campaign to make OF defeat victory
happy illustration of this was when one
Christmas night the soldiers were quite ready
to give up and go home. They were camping
on the banks of the Delaware Pointing TO
the other side. he said: Our enemy Is camp
ing there" They were Hessan soldiers, and
since II was Christmas night they were cele-
brating. 1t with difficulty the army
crossed for the night was Wild dark and cold
But in spite of the great blocks of ice on the
river Washington managed to get his army
across, and victory was the result more
difficult year was spent in Valley Forge 1t
was long cold winter. the soldiers hungry
for food, and they did not have enough clothing
and blankets to keep themselves warm Many
times they were on the verge OF mutneering
1t was only by means of his tact and good
Judgment that he brought harmony into camp
and gave the war a successful ending.
After leaving the army he went back home
and spent much time improving the farm The
Mount Vernon estate gradually became an ex-
pensiye affair Here he kept open house and
never day went by without his receiving call
ers and friends. Some of the dinners and
ievees were often elaborate, and he struggled
hard not to appear bored He had hoped to
spend the rest of his life among these pleasant
surroundings. He often told his friends: Let
those who wish such things office be at the
head OF things. l do not wish them All de-
sire now is to settle down at Mount Vernon
and to enjoy my farm" But after the constitu-
tion was ratified and the votes of the electors
we're opened and counted 1t found that
everyone had voted for Washington. During
his presidency he had many knotty problems,
but he met them all with good sense and judg-
ment Because he played the double role of
commander of the army and the first president
OF this nation equally well he is entitled to the
name, the Father of His Country.

FOSTER is SDROPPED
FROM BAPT IST
CONF FERENCE
MINISTER'S WILL NOT BROOK DE-
NAL OF DIVINITY OF CHRIST.
After a Stormy Session Of Four Hours,
Chicago University Professor
Is Ousted.

Chicago. June 21-Prof George B.
Foster of the University of Chicago,
whose denial Of the divinity Of Christ
in a recent book stirred Chicago Bap-
lists to a high pitch of resentment,
was dropped from the Baptist minis
ters conference OF Chicago today.
Kisses. yells and general confusion
made the meeting one of the stormiest
ever held by churchmen in Chicago,
and it was referred 10 by one preacher
as resembling a political meeting In
rowdy ward.
Speakers who mad been howled or
Kissed down sat with flushed, indig-
nant faces while the chair raped for
order.
The insiStence Of DR.. A. c, Dixon
OF the Moody church that Prof. Foster
be dropped brought the fight around
10 himself, the real object of the meet
ing being disregarded for time.
Rev. DR.. D. d McLaurin started the
trouble by asking for a committee to
investigate DR.. DlXon's right to mem
bership in the conference. This mo-
ton was hissed down and Dr. Dixon
explained that he joined the Baptist
church in New York,
Dr. NJ. P. BoyntoD was hissed when
he said:
1--WE are not going at this matter
right Foster is as good as Myers or
anyone here, and"
His voice was droyehed. The Myers
he referred to Is the Rev DR.. Johnston
Myers one of the chief assailants of
Prof. Foster.
DR. Myers shouted above the din:
1t is no worse to hiss than TO nave
those present denounced as Dr.. Boyn-
ton is doing, The Kisses should not
be stopped unless DR., Boynton Is
stopped"
Or. Myers attempted to introduce
resolution to drop Prof. Foster, where
at his veracity was assailed BY Rev.
DR. A. II. Harnley
''This matter was decided for good
and all last week. he shouted. DIR.
Myers presumed on his honor that il
ne did not get his resolution through
then ne would not again bring IL up.
Now he Is doing exactly contrary to
his promise.
Il deny the statement" responded
DR. Myers. coolly. Il promised not to
re-introduce that particular motion be-
cause my motives had been ques-
toned. Specific charges were wanted
and that Is what l have here today"
After four hours. Worn out by their
eXertions and emotions. the preachers
adopted the resolution dropping Prof.
Foster.
