CHURCHES DROP CREEDS
Divinity of Christ Only Belief Taught
in Mission.

Chicago, Feb. 27.-Plans for interde-
nomina tional church for Chicago's new
Chinatown, embracing the Baptist, Con-
sregational, Christian, Methodist and
Presbyterian denominations have been
perfected to such an extent that CO.
operative council of missions has prepared
a creed constitution and set of bylaws.
The Chinese desiring to join the new
church will be required to subscribe only
to the following statement:
81 believe that Jesus is the Christ, the
Son of God, and accept Him as my
Saviour and Guide
The only other section of the creed
refers to the instruction to be given the
members as follows:
This church shall instruct its members
from the Scriptures with regard to the
fatherhood of God, the divinity and saving
grace of Jesus Christ the work of the
Holy Spirit the inspiration and authority
of the Holy Scriptures, the sanctty of the
Lords day, Baptism and the Lords Sup
per and the fundamental necessity of liv-
ing daily with Gods help in harmony
with the teaching of Jesus Christ.
Each of the denominations sacrificed
certain of it's doctrines, but the creed as
finally agreed upon was referred to by
the Rev. Smaller Mathews as common
divisor.'
TT is an admirable formation of strict
" religious beliefs sufficiently distinct to
serve as basis for association" he said.

Presfdent-ElecI Will Spend
Some Time at Capitol.
Says He Desires to
Be in Touch With Congress.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Lively discus
sion was precipitated in congressional
circles today by a published statement
credited to President-elect Wilson that
he intended to spend part of each
working day in the presidents room at
the capitol, to keep in close touch with
legislative offices
Such action on the part of the presi-
dent would overturn a precedent
which has restricted the president 5
visit to the capitol to the last hours of
a session of congress.
Democratic leaders today discussed
the plan of Mr.. Wilson with reluctance.
though many seemed to favor it and
others qualified their expressions
If President Wilson wishes to come
to the capitol and advise with congress
he will be welcome said eSnator Cor
man.
The closer the president and con-
gress can get in the transaction of pub
lie business, the better it will be- said
Senator Pomerene of Ohio. His express
sion was concurred in by Senator
Johnson, of Maine.
The chief reason for the long estab-
lished precedent of keeping the presi-
dent in the White House, a mile away
from the capitol, is said to be a senti-
ment in the house and senate toward
what has been interpreted as ''presi-
Dental encroachment'' upon the free
dom of the action of congress. Some
Democratic leaders of the senate said
today they believed Mr.. Wilson would
find it impossible to leave his executive
duties and visit the capitol from day to
day, and that he would not find it so
easy to confer over the progress of leg
islation at tke capitol as at the White
House. Some Democrats expressed the
opinion that such visits of a president
might not be received with favor if he
came to take a hand in shaping legisla-
ton.
Much will depend on what he comes
for said Senator Tillman. IF he comes
to advise with us, We shall be glad to
have him; if he comes to dictate to
us, we do not believe he would, we
should not want him here. When he
has an opportunity to study conditions
at a close range, 1 think he will change
his mind about coming

BRIDE AT ACE OF los,
Woman Lived But Five Days After
Marriage, However.

Los Angeles, Cal. Feb 27-Happiness
and excitement killed Marcellina Leon at
the age of 105, after she had shown
strength of mind and body sufficient to
win her way and obtain the consent of
the courts to marry the man of her
choice, who for fifty years had been her
sweetheart. She is dead at her home to-
day after being bride for but five days
Relatives opposed the aged woman's de
sire to marry Pleasantino Leon. She
fought them in the courts, obtained the
dismissal of her niece as guardian and
established her competency to do as she
chose.
Shortly after the marriage she col.
lapsed. Her death has prostrated her
husband, who is 81.

IL acts on the principle of cleaning out

II soaks right in through the walls,

sponge neutralizes, dissolves, and makes
the Kidneys sift out and filter away all
the uric acid and poisons from the blood
and leaves the kidneys and urinary or

1t matters not how long you have suf-
