would never administer extreme unc-
| ton to anybody, not even king, if his
life was not in accordance with the
| church's commands"
This is taken to prove that King Leo
pold and Baroness Vaughan were regu-
larly married. 1t is held, however, that
their marriage does not establish any
claim of their two sons to the throne,
although it may determine the distri-
button of the kings private fortune.
Baroness .'aughan frequently visited
the palace yesterday.
Constantly at Bedside.
Sentiment in Brussels took a new
turn, and the people became heatedly
occupied with the question as to the
position of Baroness Vaughan in the
royal household, as the result of a SEN
sational article published in the Soir.
The paper charged that Baroness
Vaughan was constantly at the bedside
of the king. even being present when
extreme JUNCTION was administered,
whereas the kings daughters and his
nephew were not admitted.
The question was put by the Soir to
Mgr. COoreman, the venerable royal
chaplain, if the king had married Baro-
ness Vaughan according to the provis-
ions of the religious ceremony, adding
that all Belgium was astonished and
scandalized that the church would
sanction the presence of the woman
near the kings couch while the priest
came on his sacred mission.
The chaplain then minated that the
marriage exists, and said his consct
ence was clear about his visit to the
king

ward, who prefers a cigar and leisure
on the back seat Of an automobile. and
who is always attended by a second
car full of tools and mechanics, Leo
pold was an all around motorist.

MILITARY BILL is SWEEPING
Lodges May Wear Their Uniforms In
Halls, But Not on the Streets.
New State Law.

Des Moines, Ia. April 24.-No more
wearing of uniforms ON the streets,
without being member of military
organization.
Last winter, when Moore Of Wapei
10 introduced this bill in the house 1t
created such furore that 1t was
quickly withdrawn. 1t had as its
sponsor some of the officers at Fort
Des Moines, who had become disgust.
ed by the sale OF soldiers effects to
Des Moines young men.
1t has developed that the same bill
has been made part of the military
laws of the state In the big military
bill passed. 1t provides fine OF from
$50 to 800 for the wearing of either
the real articles of soldier wear, or
uniforms similar to this, unless the
wearer II a member of the regular
army, the state militia, or military
school.
A special provision Ia made that
lodge members may wear similar uni.
forms In their hall drills, but this does
not allow them to appear on the
streets.
No one noticed this provision in the
bill when 1t appeared in the large
measure recognizing the state guard
and 1t passed both houses of the leg
tslature without protest.

To Digest
the Food

Bile in the intestines is as important to diees-
ton as are the gastric juices in the stomach and
bile is only supplied when the liver is in active
condition.
The serious and chronic forms Of indigestion
are cured by DR.. A. w. Chase's Kidney
and Liver Pills because of their influence on
the liver causing a good flow of bile to aid
digestion and keep the bowels regular, there
by preventing fermentation of the food, the
formation Of gas and all the disagreeable symp-
toms of indigestion.
Long standing cases of chronic indigestion
yield to DR.. A. w. Chase's Kidney and Liver
Pills after all else has failed.
