OLD LINE PHYSICIANS
RECOGNIZE "FATTH" CURES

LONDON, May 6.-An important
contribution to one of the foremost
topics of the day is found in the re-
port of the Committee on spiritual
health or faith cure" appointed by
the conference of the clerical and
medical profession held in october,
1911.
The committee, which is composed
of prominent clergymen and doctors
in it's conclusions says: THE members
of the committee fully recognized
that operations of divine power can
be limited only by the divine will, and
they desire to express their belief in
the efficacy of prayer. They reyer-
emily believe, however, divine power
is exercised in conformity with and
through the operation of natural laws
With advancing knowledge of these
laws increasing benefits are being Sc
cured for mankind through humane
instrumentality.

also a collection Of poisoned bees, and
numerous varieties OF poisoned food.
Lectures are given n the kinds OF
poisons used by various criminal types
and the different methods OF prepara-
tion and administering.
Another section of the institute Is
devoted to recording the cabalistic
signs by which European criminals
convey warnings or other information
to each other
Most of these symbols have been
traced back to the fifteenth and six
teenth centuries. A triangle with a
point upward. for instance, signifies.
II have been in prison" Two horizon
tai lines mean beware of the dog"
A cork signifies that there is an alarm
| apparatus inside. A cat marks the
presence of woman only in the
house.

given why, even if the Alexander bill
becomes law, the handicaps placed
upon capital by that measure alone,
to say nothing of the navigation laws,
would not encourage American capt
tai to embark in the ownership of
ocean going vessels. The following
sentences are illuminative:
"If Congress would make the nav
igation laws uniform with those of
Great Britain. an American merchant
fleet would quickly grow up of itself.
Congress is not likely to do so because
OF labor union opposition"
The last sentence embOdies the
prospect of an American merchant

probable that the desire to protect
Overmuch, not merely the builders OF

But more than all these, the prepos
ferrous requirements Of the various

terprise in that direction impossible
without subsidies such as no Con.
gress, Republican or Democratic
would consider. To compete on tho
open seas our ship owners could no
