NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-The Inter
church World movement still owes ST.
OCT POO of the Sc, 5Gl POI it borrowed from
the Bankers Trust company on the guar
antee of 100 of the boards and societies
of the denominations participating in the
movement
In addition to this debt, which the
Bankers Trust has declined to extend,
the movement has obligations of its own
which bring the total up to approximate
" IS, 100000. To meet these requirements
the various denominational organizations
are instituting a vigorous campaign for
the meeting of the pledges.
The largest of these pledges was that
of the Baptist church, North, which
guaranteed S2,50O,000. 1t is said they are
ready to make good, but that they are
taking legal advice and waiting to be
sure 81 100000 is all they may have to
Jay. The Methodist Episcopal church,
North, was next in amount, with Sl,0uU,
600 by the centenary movement and SZO0,-
600 by the board of home missions. Oh
the sum 81 600 600 has been paid. Frcs-
byterians were third with $l,OOOW0.
COngregatiOnalists went rather lght ON
guarantees and have paid all of them.
The American board, oldest OF American
missionary societies, guaranteed only $780,
coo. Disciples of Christ, a Middle W est
body, strong in numbers if not in wealth,
guaranteed 100000, and have paid only
$4,000. The Reformed church, with head
quarters in this city, guaranteed and has
paid $4,000, through its board of domes-
tic missions The Reformed church, the
German branch, guaranteed $2O9,OOO and
has paid 100000
1t now appears that the promoters of
the Interchurch World movement not
only went to the large religious bodies
but also to institutions for the aged and
to hospitals for guarantees. The LeW
England Deaconess association under
wrote $4,000; the Wisconsin Deacon6eSsS5
hospital at Green Bay, $1,000; the Old
Folks Home at Mexico, Ind. $4,000; Cal
ifornia Ouakeis. $1,000; Muskingum col
lege. q United Presbyterian institution IN
Ohio, $4,000, and the German EvangeI-
zeal Synod, $50 900. None Of these sums
has vet been paid, it is said.
1t is said the Interchurch movement
has received some gifts from religious
bodies which guaranteed nothing, IN rec
ignition of the fact that they protited by
Interchurch publicity and efforts. Many
leaders in bodies that guaranteed ana
paid, or still must pay, advocate the IN
terchurch plans and say they gained more
than the venture cost them.

else of this function essential to the national
welfare as are the operations of the legislative
and judicial branches.
President Wilson invited intense criticism
when he departed from American soil to parti-
cipate in the peace conference. It argued
at that time that the place of the chief executive
of the United States should be the White House.
Developments since that innovation have inten-
sfied the feeling in the country that the presi-
cent should not leave this country but should
always be prepared to deal promptly with do
mestc problems.
"The executive must never lapse" says the
Chicago Tribune "That is an essential of pub
lie safety. Congress should consider it's ilnne-
diate and most imperative duty to provide that
it does not lapse that there shall be shadow of
doubt that in the case of the presidents inability
to perform his duties, either by reason OF alb
sence from the country or of physical and mental
disability, these duties shall be performed by an
other designated official"
In this case, Secretary Lansing and the other
cabinet members were not actuated by base
motives to usurp power. They sought to pro-
mote the public welfare. They were members
of the official family of the president, and in a
time when he was physically unable to perform
his duties, sought to carry on the work. Since
this method has met with the disapproval of the
president, congress should by law establish a
method that cannot merit the censure of chief
lexecutive.

The Executive Office

81 The American people viii not look askance at
any action congress may take to provide for'the
continuous exercise of the executive power. The
charge on which President Wilson ousted Secre-
tary Lansing leaves the palpabie and obvious in
ference that he believes informal conferences of
the cabinet during the incapacity of the chief ex-
ecutive to perform his functions are "a usurpa-
tion of executive authority.
b If this is correct Interpretation, then the
American congress without further delay or ar
gun1ent should legislate lawful method where
by the uninterrupted performance of the execut-
i've branch of our government would be assured.
Few of us have sympathy with the stand
taken by the president on this question. We be-
leve the three Fundamental departments OF our
government should function under every circum-
stance and in every crisis The duties Of the
executive should never be interrupted. The exer-

Tells rheumatism Sufferers to Take
Salts and Get Rid Of
Uric Acid.

Rheumatism is no respecter of age,
sex, color or rank. If not the most
dangerous of human Affections it is
one Of the most painful. Those subject
to rheumatism should eat less meat,
dress as warmly as possible, avoid any
undue exposure and, above all, drink
lots of pure water
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which Is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the func-
ton of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast it out in the
urine; the pores of the skin are also
a means Of freeing the blood OF this
impurity. In damp and chilly, cold
weather the skin pores are closed thus
forcing the kidneys to do double work.
they become weak and sluggish and
fail to eliminate this uric acid which
keeps accommodating and circulating
through the system, eventually set
Ting in the joints and muscles caus-
ing stiffness, soreness and pain called
rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
full in glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus Kidding the blood
of these impurities.

, and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice. combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by

While we know very little more

hot wet towels should first be applied
to the throat, chest and back be

pores. ThenVicks should be rubbed
in over the parts until the skin is rec
