WAR ON THE SCHOOLS.
F'ranch Catholics Organize to Fight
Educational System.

Paris, Oct. 28.-A new and interest
ing situation has been created by the
French Episcopate's declaration of
war against the public schools of
by Archbishop German of Toulon
see to rally the Catholic voters at the
general elections of 1910 in support of
candidates committed to the defense
of church interests.
Archbishop German has formed an
association Of Catholic voters, the
object of which is thus described:
1--WE demand the establishment
of religious peace. first, by a direct
entente between the sovereign and the
ceptable to the latter and assuring
full liberty to the church; and second,
the establishment of complete
liberty of education
The circular further announces that
children who systematically refuse to
attend the classes and to use text
books regularly approved by the gov
eminent will be subjected to dis
ciplinary measures.
Although the extreme anti-clerical
radicals of the type of former premier
Emile Combes urge that the time
has come for the state to suppress
completely the private and religious
schools and assume a monopoly of
education, the general disposition of
the Republican groups which ac-
complished the separation of church
and state has been to ignore the
Catholic campaign in the belief that
the country was in no danger of re-
versing it's adopted policy.
Nevertheless the government is pre-
pairing a bill for the protection of
teachers who are subjected to
persecution by Catholic parents and
religious committees which are form
ing throughout the republic.
Premier BRAND, it is expected, will
set forth the views of the government
in the matter during a speech on
public education which he is to de-
liver next Saturday.

Victoria. B. c., Oct. 2S.-Arrivals
by the steamer Tango Maru from Jap

Manchuria, while officially stated to
be private and non-political, was
made partly at the instance of Pre-
mier Katsura and Count Komura, for
eign minister
The general opinion as expressed by
the japanese newspapers was that
Prince Ito was on an important mis-
sion. Collating expressions OF YER
nacular papers, the Japan Mail said;
Certain publicists seem deter
mined that his highness had an i'm
portant purpose in making this jour

keen scrutiny concentrated by for

China, the princes trip had been plan

dimensions of Japanese enterprise in
Manchuria and the machinery for
fostering and protecting it

IN an epileptic fit on the railroad

happened some weeks ago and he is
now on the high road to complete re-

Causes IS per cent
of Diseases
Advice Concerning Stomach
Troubles and How to
Remedy Them

Do not neglect Indigestion which leads
to all sorts of ills and complications. An
eminent doctor once said that ninety
five per cent of all the ills of the human
body have their origin in a disordered
stomach.
A physician who made a speciality of
stomach troubles, particularly dyspep-
STA, after years of study perfected the
formula from which Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets are made.
Our experience with RexaIl Dyspep-
STA Tablets leads US to believe them to
be the greatest remedy known for the
relief of acute indigestion and chronic
dyspepsia. Their ingredients are sooth-
ing and healing to the infiamed mem
braneS of the stomach. They are rich
ir pepsin, one of the greatest digestive
aids known to medicine. The relief they
afford is almost immediate. Their use
with persistency and regularity for a
short time brings about cessation of
| the pains caused by stomach disorders.
| Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will! insure
| healthy appetite. aid digestion and pro-
mote nutrition. AS evidence of our sin
core faith in Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets,
we ask you to try them at our risk.

ton we will return you the money you
Iaid for them. without question or

MARS HAS CHANGED.
Scientists Believe Planet Has Met a
Great Catastrophe.

London, Oct 28.-Fresh changes of an
extraordinary nature are reported in
Mars by the Journal of the British
Astronomical association, which says
that the planet of mystery during Sep
TENDER was nearer the earth than at
any date since 1892 and in a favorable
position for observation.
The phenomena observed, says the
Journal, are altogether without parallel
in the records of the past. Vast
there the appearance Of Mars.
A gloomy yellow veil has enshroudej
immense tracts of the Marian surface,
obliterating the markings, and changes
now in progress on the surface of Mars
are of exceptional interest in view OF
the theory developed by Prof Lowell
that Mars is inhabited by race of living
beings.
He argues that the canals of Mars
are works constructed by a dying race
menaced by starvation on desert
planet to carry water supplied by melt
areas near the equator, and thus raise
food.
1t is suggested that if the markings
have recently disappeared and the yell
low veil has covered immense tracts on
the surface there must have been some
catastrophe on gigantic scale or some
cataclysm such as dwarfs the most
violent earthquakes known on our
planet
1t is inferred that the abnormal cleo
trical conditions of the sun, which, ac-
cording to Sir Oliver Lodge, the noted
scientist, caused the recent magnetic
storm on the earth, have had far
more terrible influence on Mars.
They may have Embossed forces, it is
believed. which, If Prof. LowelIs theory
concerning life on Mars is correct, may
have ended forever the Martians' strug-

TWO Die BY FIRE.
Tncendiaries Believed to Have Applied
Match to Tenement.

New York. Oct. 28.-Two persons were
killed and eleven injured in fire which
swept through a three-story tenement
at Fifteenth street and Third avenue
before daylight today. Fire Chief
Croker stated that he believed that an
incendiary had set the place on fire and
the police started an investigation.
When the first firemen reached the
building, the flames were extending
from the basement into the upper halls
and 1t was some time before they could
get into the apartments on the second
and third floors. Firemen who entered
the third floor by means of d ladder
from the street. found the bodies of Mr.
and Mrs. Frederick Dietz. After being
awakened they had apparently sought
escape by the door and on opening it.
they were overcome by the smoke and
flames and were quickly suffocated.
Several persons did not wait till the
fremen arrived and leaped from the
windows and were injured. Others were
iDjured by falling from a fire escape in
the rear. Three ambulances were
called and conveyed the injured to Belle
vue hospital. where it was said that
none of them were mortally hurt A
number of them suffered from severe
burns.

General Demand

of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM

acceptable to the system and gentle, yet

In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why

London, Oct. 2s.-Has Frank Jay
Gould secretly married again, following
the divorce decree granted to his wife
late in the spring? This question is
ruzzling the Americans in London after

HE WAS A DESERTER.
Frank Thompson, Suicide, Identified
as Private Cecil r. Scott.

Positive identification of Frank
Thompson, the suicide. who took his
own life Tuesday, following a quarrel
with a girl friend, was made last
night by Alice Gano, 1921 East Eighth

identify the body. What disposition
will be made will not be determined

the affair said: "Scott and my
