Operations Should
Be Last Resort

Gall stones and appendicitis can be
cured without an operation.
Nature did ont create organs in the
human body to be removed by man.
Years ago DR.. Strick,e: found that
formed were unnecessary and now
continues to be SO.
These conditions and results caused
him to enter the field against the
knife. For many years and to the
present time he advises a careful ex-
animation by some specialist who
could be relied upon, before submit
ting to the surgeons knife. In his
practice as specialist he has found
that great many cases that have
been operated upon for appendicitis
which gave no relief and afterwards
turned out to be Gallstones, Bowel
Troubles, Liver or Stomach Troubles
could have been avoided.
This a useless expenditure OF
time and money, to say nothing of the
suffering they had to endure, and the
risk they run Of not living through the
operation.
DR.. Stricken has cured many cases
of this kind by his modern treatment,
without the use of the knife.
Medicines and full directions for
cure sent direct to his patients.
Consult DR.. Stricken before you
submit to an operation.
Write him today, or call on him.
He does not treat incurable cases.
Consultation and examination free.
References given Of cured cases.

Bible BARRED
FROM SCHOOLS

Springfield, June 3o.-The Supreme
court Of Illinois has decided that re-
|ligious exercises consisting of the
reading of the Bible, singing and pray
er. cannot be held in the public schools
Of this state during the time pupils are
required to be in attendance.
The decision was handed down lin
the case of the Catholic residents OF
Winchester, Scott county. who had
protested against religious exercises
held in the school of that district.
Their application for a writ OF man
damus to require the board of educa-
ton to discontinue the religious serv-
ices had been denied by the lower
court, but the Supreme court upholds
to issue.
The opinion in the case is written by
Justice Dunn. Justices Cartwright and
Hand dissent. but have not yet filed
their dissenting opinion. The majority
opinion is a lengthy document reciting
much Of history of the separation OF
church and state and quoting at length
from various authorities in support OF
the decision.
The petition in the case set up that
the pupils at the school We're required
each day to hear portions read from
the King James version of the Bible,
that they recited the kim James YER
sion Of the Lords Prayer. and that
they sang in concert sacred hymns,
one oe which was mentioned Grace
Enough for Me-
THE exercises mentioned the
court says, constitute worsl ip. They
are the ordinary forms Of worship
usually practiced by Protest. Christ
ian denominations. Their compulsory
performance would be violation OF
the constitutional guarantee of the
free exercise and enjoyment of re-
ligious profession and worship. One
does not enjo the free exercise Of re-
lisioUs worship who Is compelled to
join in any form Of religious worship.
IF the exercises of reading the
Bible, joining in prayer and the sing
ing Of hymns were performed in a
church there would be no doubt OF
their religious character. and that
character is not changed by the place
of their performance. If the petition
ers' children are required to join In
the acts of worship. as alleged in the
petition, against their consent and
against the wishes of their parents.
they are deprived Of the freedom, Of re-
ligious worship guaranteed to them by
the Constitution, The wrong arises,
not out Of the par icular version of the
Bible. or form Of prayer used whether
that found in the Dou5y or the King
James version, or the particular songs
sung but out of the compulsion to
Join in any form of worship. The free
enjoyment Of religious worship M

DENY REPORT
AS TO JuNKIN
FORT MADISON AUTHORITIES
SAY NEGRO HASN'T SOLD
BODY TO COLLEGE.

Fort Madison. June 3O.-The local
penitentiary authorities deny the Mt.
Pleasant report that Junkin had made
arrangements to dispose of his body
to the Drake university for q stated
sum. 1t was reported that physician
representing the medical school, had
been at the institution, conferred with
the officials and Junkin and in return
for the payment Of $50, which the
prisoner was making use of, had been
promised the remains of the murderer.
1t was authoritatively stated that
so far as the prison people know, no
such doctor as the one mentioned has
been around the place, much less buy
ing the dead body Of live man.
No One May See Junkln.
No one is permitted to see Junkin
without an order from the warden
and the warden denys that any medi-
cal men have approached him or made
arrangements for such a plan.
With but few days remaining the
negro is given what he wants when
ever his desires are reasonable. He is
given food but has been denied re-
quests for liquor.
Death Watch Abolished.
It has been the custom to set a
death watch over a condemned man
about a month before his execution.
It Is not a law but method usually
observed. Just now, however, the
prison has but a limited force of
guards. scarcely permitting putting
on shift for the watch. Warden
Sanders has written the board OF
control concerning the situation and
unless they order to the contrary 1t is
more than likely that the habit will
be dispensed with.

of the COS.
