MEETINGTO BRING
CHURCH MERCER?
Gathering Representing 2,000,-
600 Members in United
States.
PRESIDENT Is EXPECTED
Secretary Bryan TO Make Address
Delegates Assembling az At
lanta. Ga.
BY REv. CHARLES sTeLzLE.

Atlanta, Ga, May 14.-Thousands of
Presbyterians from every part OF the
country-many of them among the
most prominent citizens Of the United
States-will gather in this city tomor-
row morning for the combined assem-
blies OF the Presbyterian church in
the United States OF America The
Presbyterian church OF the United
States Csouthern assembly, and the
United Presbyterian church in North
America. The 1,400 official commits
sioners-half of them laymen-will
represent about 100000 church men,
beers and about 100000 adherents.
This is the first time in the history
of Presbyterianism in the United
States that the three assemblies men
toned will meet at the same time in
the same city, and IL Is altogether like
~ that out of these meetings there
will come a powerful sentiment in ia
vor of the amalgamation of Presby-
terianism throughout the entire coun-
try. There are now u different
branches Of Presbyterianism in the
United States, with a combined mem
bership of about 100000, although
the three bodies which are to meet in
Atlanta represent four-ffths OF the en-
tire strength of these various branches.

ton with practically every other mat
ter of importance that is to be pre-
scented during the meetings of the as
senblies, the conservatives fearing that
the progressives are slowly but surely
dominating the administrative affairs
of the church.
1t is altogether likely that another
attempt will be made by the conserva-
tives in the southern assembly to have
it withdraw from the Federal Council
of the Churches OF Christ in America,
which includes practically all the Pro-
testant churches in the United States,
largely because of the election of DR..

generally regarded as a radical in the
illogical circles-as president Of the
federal council.

the commissioners of the various bod
les. On six of the nights and Sunday

BACKACHE IS A
DANGER SIGNAL
Kidney Troubles, Bladder Disorders,
Rheumatism, and Serious Dis
eases Follow,

The kidneys get clogged up, the same
as the bowels do. Then they become
sluggish, and only filter or strain out a
part of the waste OF poisonous matter
all the rest remaining in the blood and
poisoning the system.
As soon as you notice the first indi-
cations of backache. pains in the sides
or aches around the kidneys, or IL the
urine is light and pale, dark colored
cloudy, thick, or has an offensive odor
burns, is scalding or irregular in pas
sage take a little Croxone three times
a day and end these troubles before
they become more serious.
There is no more effective remedy
known for the prompt relief and cure
of kidney bladder troubles and rheu-
into the kidneys through the walls and
Innings; cleans out the cIogged up
pores. neutralizes and dissolves the
poisonous uric acid and waste matter
that lodge in the joints and muscles,
and cause those terrible rheumatic
paius. and makes the kidneys filter the
poison from the blood and drive it out
of the system
A few days use of this new scientific
preparation is often all that is ever
needed to end the worst backache, or
overcome the most annoying urinary
disorders.
You will find Croxone entirely difrer-
ent from other remedies. 1t is so pre-
pared that 1t is practically impossible
10 take IL without results. An original
package costs but a trifie. and all
druggists are authorized to return the
purchase price if it should fail in sim
gle case.

REVIVAL SERVICES ARE OPENED

Alexandria, Va, Nov. 3.-The indications
are that a light vote will be polled here
tomorrow. This will be due to the fact
that the candidates for both State and
city offices are without opposition. The
city Democratic committee will, however,
attempt TO get out a gOod-sized vote. One
of the principal reasons for this is that
the representation Athe next State con-

GROSS ABUSE ALLEGED
Probe Shows that Some Lawmakers

As the result of charges made by Sena-
tor Bristow of Kansas that Senator AS
hurst OF Arizona had abused tne
privilege of transmitting kilograms on
official business at government expense
the Senate Committee on Audit and Con-
troll of Contingent Expenses started an
inquiry which resulted n reporting yes
terday a resolution introduced by Sena-
tor Shafroth Of Colorado limiting the
value of kilograms a Senator may send
at government expense to $50 annually.
The committee submitted a report on
the resolution, prepared by Senator Will
iams which disclosed the fact that the
members had conducted an investigation
of the alleged abuse of the privilege by
Senators. The committee found that the
average number of kilograms sent in
three months was forty-five for each
Senator, and that the average expense
incurred for each was s26.27. They found
that nine Senators had sent no kilograms,
while one had sent S13 in the three
months, at an expense to the government
of $40. The lowest expense incurred for
such kilograms was twenty-six cents,
by one Senator, who invoked the govern
ment rate.
