REAL SON OF TOLL
IN A HOUSE OF LORDS
Kaiser confers Unheard-of pistinc-
ton On Harry Plate, a Master
Plumber.

BERLIN, Feb. 22.-Harry Plate, a
plumber Of Hanover, who attained the
great distinction OF being raised to
the dignity of life membership in the
Prussian House OF Lords on the EN-
peror's birthday, is the first artisan
who has ever attained such position.
The new member OF this most ex-
elusive body Is not a mere theorist,
but a man who has had TO work at
his trade for his living, and he has
passed through every grade. He serv-
ed the usual four years apprentice
ship, then packed his tools and for
several years tramped through the
German states, Switzerland, Italy and
France, working wherever he could
find a job. Finally he settled In Han
over, where he eventually set up in
dependently and became prominent in
the plumbers organization and presi-
dent at several artisans congresses.
The Prussian House Of Lords mas
hitherto consisted exclusively OF mem
bers of the nobility, great scientists
and educators, manufacturers and
commercial men, prominent bankers,
mayors OF cities and retired military
and naval officers.
In selecting Harry Plate to join
their councils his majesty has carried
out a request formulated in a petition
from the last artisans congress for
representation In the lawmaking
bodies of Prussia, and this self-made
man was indicated to him as the best
possible choice he could make for the
honor

STOMACH MISERY
JUST VAN|SHES
Indigestion, Gas, Heartburn and Dys
pepsIa CO and You Will Feel
Better In Five Minutes

AS there Is often some one In your
+ family who suffers an attack OF Indi-
gestion or some form OF Stomach
trouble, why don't you keep some
Diapepsin IN the house handy?
This harmless blessing will digest
anything you can eat without the
slightest discomfort, and overcome a
sour. gassyy Stomach i've minutes
after.
Tell your pharmacist TO let you read
the formula, plainly printed on these
B0-cent cases OF Pape's Diapepsin,
then you will readily see why II
makes Indigestion, Sour Stomach,
Heartburn and other distress go in
I'VE minutes, and relieves at once such
miseries as Belching OF Gas, Eructa-
tons OF sour, undigested food, Nausan.
Headaches, Dizziness, Constipation
and other Stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long to ind
relief from Indigestion and Dyspep-
sia or an out-of-order stomach with
the common, everyday cures adver.
tised that they have about made up
their minds that they have something
else wrong. or believe theirs is a case
OF Nervousness, Gastritis, Catarrh Of
tho Stomach or Cancer.
This, no doubt, Is serious mistake.
Your real trouble Is, what you eat does
not digest; instead, 1t ferments and
sours, turns to acid, Gas and Stomach
poison, which putrefy in the digestive
tract and intes.ines, and, besides, pol
son the breath with nauseous odors.
A hearty appetite, with thorough di-
gestion, and without the slightest dis
comfort or misery of the Stomach, Is
waiting for you as soon as you decide
TO try Pape's Diapepsin.

REv.G. v. MORROW
IS REELECTED.
Given Another Term as Superin-
tendent of the Michigan Anti
Saloon League.

The Rev. George W. Morrow was
reelected state superintendent or the
Michigan Anti-Saloon league by the
executive committee of the league,
Tuesday afternoon. The committee
took up the consideration OF Mr..
Morrow's reelection shortly after 1
o'clock and didn't reach decision
until after 4. The vote, however, to
re-appoint him was unanimous. OPP
position to his reelection Is said TO
have been offered on the ground that
a man of different temperament would
be more helpful to the cause OF local
option In Michigan.
Mr.. Morrows friends regard lis
as a complete vtndica-
ton OF the Jackson colonization
charge brought against him a year or
SO ago. Everybody who had anything
TO say against him in the meeting
was heard. The only fault found with
the superintendent was that his per-
sonality didn't suit the compliments.
Other officers were elected as fol-
lows: ]. L. Hudson, president; the
Rev. s. T. Morris, of the Second Con-
gregational church, of Grand Rapids,
vice-president; the Rev. DIR. c. j. Tan
ner, OF the Central Christian church,
OF Detroit, secretary, and F. III. West,
OF Detroit, treasurer.
Mr.. Morrow said he would reap
point the present working force,
which is as follows: Assistant Super
intendent Holsaple, OF Grand Rapids;
Pliny W. Marsh, Detroit, state attor-
ney: Grant Hudson, superintendent of
Detroit district; T. b. Bauer, super
intendent Grand Traverse district: 8.
A. Dean, superintendent of the Sag
NAV district, and c. II. Rutledge,
superintendent OF the upper peninsula
district.
Resolutions adopted by the board OF
trustees commended Gov. Osborn on
his attitude toward the saloon; the
manner in which the local option law
is being enforced in the 40 dry"
counties; the citizens who are aiding
in bringing about a better standard
of morality and the newspapers which
are helping to rid the country OF
saloons; approved the Miller-Curtis
bill, which aims to check the inter
state commerce law at the state lines,
SO that states can regulate the ship
ments of liquor within their own Dor
ders, and expressed regret at the
death of K. T. Gilbert, former presi-
dent of the league.

OF MARRIAGE TO
CONTROL BIRTH RATE

Professor Carver, Of Harvard, Op-
poses Or. EIiot's Advocacy OF Large
Families on Economic Grounds.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Feb. 22.-De-
claring that the family exists for the
purpose of controlling the number OF
children and insuring adequate sup
port for those that are born, and that
no one should have more children
than he can support decently, Pro-
|fessor T.. N. Carver, the Harvard
economist and sociologist, in state
'ment published today, opposes the re-
cent argument for large families,
made by President Emeritus Charles
|W. Eliot, of Harvard University. Pro-
lessor Carven wants more restrictions
lon the birth rate.
.swhoever makes the statement"
said DIR. Carver, that no restriction
'of the birth rate can be supported by
is certainly not taking the
point of view of most economists.
Marriage itself Is nothing more nor
less than an economic contrivance TO
lcontrol the birth rate. Its purpose Is
to make every person responsible Tor
the offspring he produces.
"Certainly no economist will admit
that a man should have children be-
fore he is qualified TO support them.
In cases where a man persisted In
having more children than he could
support, more than his salary would
care for, | suppose the state would
look out for the extra children"

nipped sooner or later, but that didn't
make any difference. I'd rather be
In Sing Sing than In London"
The detectives in every city in the
United States have been hunting for
the escaped convicts. Robert Boy
land, who was under sentence OF four
years for grand larceny, is the only
one of the five besides White to be
recaptured.
White was recognized by long.
irregular scar across his forehead and
a smaller scar under his right ear.
When White escaped he was serv-
ing a ten-years' sentence for robbery.
He was committed to Sing Sing In
February, 1909. He will now have to
serve his full time without commu-
tation.

New York Society Looks For An
nouncement Of Engagement-Lat-
ter Divorced In Reno.


NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-That he il
well satisfied with the money settle
ment he forced from his beautiful
wife who recently divorced him in
Reno and from her millionaire father,
Col. Isaac r. Emerson Of Baltimore,
was the statement of DR.. Smith Hob
lis McKim just before he left here
for Washington early today.
II am absolutely done with this
matter" said McKim In the railroad
station while waiting for train.
This settlement ends all relations
between the Emersons and myself"
Under the terms of the settlement.
according to McKim's attorney. q
trust fund of $4,000 was created,
the interest to be paid to him. He
is to discontinue all Of the alienation
suits instituted and will drop the
legal proceedings he was understood
to contemplate against Alfred G. Van
derbilt.
The final agreement for the settle
ment was reached late last night In
the law Offices Of Hayes, Hershfield
and Wolf In this city, that firm rep
resenting McKim. Former Judge
Morgan j. O'Brien looked after the
Vanderbilt interests as well as those
of others who were parties to the
litigation. Col. Emerson and Mrs.
McKim were not present, they being
at present at the Emerson hunting
lodge in North Carolina
The injection of the personality of
Mrs. Frederick Mccormick into the
agreement caused much surprise in
society. She is a prepossessing young
widow who formerly lived in Irving
ton, ". ", and friends OF the parties
concerned, intimated today, that
should Col. Emerson be successful in
the divorce suit he now has against
his wife. he will probably marry Mrs.
Mccormick. Society also looks for
an early announcement of an engage
ment OF Mrs. McKim and Alfred G..
Vanderbilt as result of the present
agreement.
