year periods will also be considered.
a General Assembly so selected would
consist of newly elected commission
ers the first year, after which if the
proposed plan is carried out one half
of the commissioners will carry over
to the following assembly and would
be acquainted with its practices At
present the Presbyterian General As
sembly commissioners are newly ell
eCted each year.
Two important reports will be made
to General Assembly relative to the
vote by the Presbyteries on overtures
sent down by the last Assembly, re-
garding the eligibility of women to
serve as deacons in the Presbyterian
church and the desirability of CO.
operating in the Eyangelistic Organic
Plan of Church Union. Several of
the larger Presbyteries are opposing
both plans.
The plan of Federal Union, looking
toward the closer relations of Presby-
terian and Reformed churches holding
the Presbyterian system, is expected
to make considerable headway.
Another report which will attract
considerable attention will be that of
a Committee on the Reorganization of
the Presbyterian Boards and Agencies
headed by DR.. John Timothy Stone of
Chicago.

will be one of the most interesting
events of the first days session. Last

Mayor in the front seat with him.
The convict sat in the rear, his re-
volver pointed at the two men. The
warden was given instructions not to
follow until they had proceeded three
blocks under penalty of death Of the
hostages.
The chase was taken up by the
warden and Deputy Warden Keefe

line indicated by Biscardo. Three
miles from Rawlins, Mayor leaped
from the machine. He was uninjured

POLICEMAN SAW THE LIGHT
Absence of illumination on Automo. bile Perfectly Justified Under the
 Circumstances.

A certain town depends entirely on electricity for it's lighting, and as one large generating station suficed for the whole town. an accident at the station suddenly plunged the town into darkness one night.
 The manager of the station was at his private house at the time, but he at once set out in his car for the works. In his haste, however, he for got to switch on the electric lights on his car, which were, of course, gen. erated off dry battery and the cars accumulation.
 On his way to the electric power station he was stopped by police man, who asked him why he had no lights. The manager did little quick thinking, then answered, half-humor. ously:
 "of course my lights are outI Haven't they failed all over the town?"
 The policeman touched his hat, and said:
 "Beg pardon. sir, I forgot Go straight ahead"

At the Top of the Stairs.

During my service in the army I was one day corporal in charge of quarters. One of my duties was to es- cort the officer of the day on his tour of inspection, preceding him into the mems quarters and loudly calling them to attention.
 This particular day I preceded him up the stairs to the upper floor of our barracks, and when about half way up loudly shouted, Attention
 Upon reaching the top of the stairs I discovered the colonel and dozen other officers of the regiment rigidly standing at attention. They had picked the place out as a quiet one to get some gas mask drill, and burst out with a wild shout of laughter when they saw me and the second looey in the rear.-Chicago Journal.

CALOMEL GOOD
 BUT TREACHEROUS
Next Dose May Salivate, Shock Liver or Attack Your
 Bones.

You know what caiomel is. It's mer- cury; quicksilver. Calomel is danger ous. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sickening you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system.
 If you feel bilious, headachy, consti- pated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get bottle of Dod- sons Liver Tone for few cents which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money.
 Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you q days work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens you right up and you feel great. No salts necessary. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and can not salivate. Advertisement.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often
 Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch Aith the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for It's remarkable record of success.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the as- anishing statement that one reason why 70 many applicants for insurance are re SScted IS because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applica- tions are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease.

JuuqIed Statistics.

The human race has added ten years to the life of the average man in the last 50 years, an actuary told the life underwriters in Chicago recently. Why shouldn't this sort of thing go on, he asks, until man lives to be one hun dred? Why not, to be sure? Just as Mark Twain figured about the length of the Mississippi. It was cutting out bends and shortening itself so much every year. If the same rate should keep on, in the course of few thou sand years the Mississippi would be only IS miles long.-Kansas City Star.

tural banks, making a direct financial
connection between every farm State, is
row being studied by the national board
Of farm organizations, Secretary Charles

Representatives of 100000 farmers
affiliated with the board will hold a
series Of conferences here to decide
whether an attempt shall be made to or
ganize and set up the banks.
Pamphlets describing the need of the
Nations 100000 farmers for a financial
organization Of their own now are being
circulated throughout the country by the
national board.
The pamphlets also are being for
warded to all members of Congress.
With a chain of private agricultural
banks in operation farmers never would
be forced to sell crops at a sacrifice be
cause of inability of obtaining loans
with which to carry them, officials of
the board say.
The force Of the financial power con-
trolled by the Nations farmers cap be ap-
preciated,'' said Secretary Lymon today,
when Government reports are studied
They show that one-half of the total
credit resources of all the national banks
in the country are placed therein by
farmers.
Despite this fact. farmers for months
have found it almost impossible to OBJ
tain loans adequate to carry on their
