PLAN RELIGIOUS CENTER
Wisconsin Federation of Churches
Takes Initiative for New System
Of Education.

Madison.-The greatest educational
movement in the history of church
and religious education in America
was inaugurated here at a conference
of the Wisconsin federation of
churches, when a plan was brought
forward for the establishment of a
union religious center of federate
character at the University of Wis
consin.
The aim of the union religious CEN
ter is to unity all religious activities
at the university, SO as to render I'M
necessary the erection Of separate de-
nominational buildings. The estimated
cost of the center is $250,000, with a
like amount for endowment.
The center building will include ia
cilities for student Interrogation hall,
rest, banquet and reading rooms and
g. large room for big social affairs.
The largest auditorium in Madison is
planned for the building 1t will seat
from 1900 to 1000 persons. There
will be administrative offices for the
pastors and secretaries of the different
religious bodies participating.

GOVERNOR DECLINES
WILL NOT DE CANDIDATE FOR
PRESIDENT.
Under No Consideration Will He Allow
the Use of His Name on the
Republican Ballot.

Madison.-Gov. E. L. Philip made it
known here that under no considera-
ton would he allow the use of his
name on the ballot as being a candi-
date for the republican nomination for
president.
Several republican leaders suggest
ed that Gov. Philip ought to take part
in Wisconsin's first presidential pri-
mary, but the governor by his decision
not to allow the use of his name in this
connection puts at rest the movement
to make him candidate for president.
The impression prevails here that
the republican state convention will
not consider any proposition to indorse
a senatorial candidate, but that the
convention will confine it's work to the
selection of four candidates for dele
gates at large, receiving the report of
the several congressional districts as
to their candidates for delegates to
the national convention, and the adop-
ton of national platform.
In Madison the impression is gen
eral that a second convention will be
held at which candidates will be in
dorsed and state platform enacted.

Now He SAYS "Nein."

Col. George c. Wright tells the fol
lowing on q saloonkeeper named Nc
Dermott:
McDermott was q very generous
man, and they say he would "set 'em
up" about as often as anybody else.
One day a crowd had collected, and
one man, a German, ordered drinks.
McDermott followed suit and the
customer reciprocated. Then he start
ed out, and as he did so he queried,
"Das list allies recht?"
Now, McDermott's education in Ger
man had been neglected in County
Mayo. About all he knew in that
language was YAH" SO he said 1t
enthusiastically.
When he was gone McDermott be-
moaned the fact that his customer had
not paid, and was informed that he
had told the man that 1t was "all
right"
Mac made a few more Inquiries and
learned the opposite of yah" Here
after It is 'nein' for me-" said he."-St
Louis Globe-Democrat.

Cause hy nf the
Caused by Disease

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
longer pour forth waste, uremic poi
soning occurs, and the person dies and
the cause is often given as heart dis
ease, or disease of brain or lungs.
