Chamber Session Breaks Up in Riot Following Herriot's An-
 nOunCelnent Of Govt. Stand
PURE CHRISTIANITY,
 NOT THAT OF BANKERS
Premier's Words Precipitate Sensa- tional Fight--Had Made Speech of Explanation Denying Pcrsecu- ton of Catholics in His Alsace School Issue-Wanted Vote of Confidence by Tonight.

By Tho Associated Press.
 Paris. March 20-Free for all fist fights, such as probably had never before been seen in the chamber of deputies broke up this afternoons session after Premier Herriot in de- lending the governments policy in religious matters, had said:
 We accept and welcome Chris tianity in it's pure forms, but not the Christianity of bankers"
 But Few Get Hit
 Premier Herriots supporters rose and cheered. The opposition rose and howled at the speaker. There was great slamming of desks and shouting of imprecations. and the most belligerent members on both sides rushed for the open space be- low the rostrum which became like cockpit with a dozen pairs of deputies milling around and slug ging wildly but seldom landing squarely.
 The sergeants at arms in body tried to form wedge between the majority and opposition members. but they were brushed aside. Then Paul Painleye, president of the chamber put on bis hat and left the chair as signal that the sit ting was suspended.
 Help came from the corridors and slowly the sergeants at arms began clearing the hall dragging apart the units of the opposing forces.
 Denies Prosecution Premier Herriot defended the gov ernment's policy toward the clergy and Its efforts to make the nom denominational laws effective in Alsace in replying to the interpella- tion in the chamber of deputies on what attitude the government would take toward the manifesto of the French cardinals and archbishops against the laws In question.
 The premier had not intended to speak until tomorrow, but to short on the debate which began yestnr- day he took the rostrum at the open ing of the session this afternoon so that he could get his expected vote of confidence tonight. Premier Herriot said there was nothing in the governments dcclara- lions as to its policy on matters con- nected with religion that justified the opposition's charges of religious persecution.
 "The suppression Of the embassy at the Vatican" he declared, lis a political measure that in nowise in- terferes with Catholic practiclng their religion"

New health-new vim

Medical science has made new dis
coyery which nearly everybody needs.
Physicians are prescribing it to mil
lions. The results it brings are regard
ed among the marvels of modern medi-
cine.
1t is a liver gland secretion which
really stimulates the liver. We used to
think cathartics did that, but modern
research proves they don't. They mere
Iy irritate the intestines. The only way
to really stir the liver is this new way.
Stirring torpid livers means a great
or supply of bile. That does more than
flood and clear the bowels. 1t corrects
bowel Indigestion due to lack OF bile.
But bile, above all, is natures anti
semitic 1t combatsI intestinal germs.
They breed by millions when the bile
is scant. And they feed the blood a
constant load Of pOisons.
Most people suffer from those poisons.
Some suffer in a large way. SO this
new discovery is bringing tremendous
help in countless i'll conditions.
This liver secretion is embodied In
tablets called Dioxol. Each tablet rep
resents ten drops, purified and concen-
trated, with other important helps.

oxol means to you and yours. Note

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES
COTT TO THE LITTLE MAR
QUISE, care THE SECRET
ND A NVLNTD


Have you missed me, dear little
secret confidant? have missed you
very, very much. Being able to talk
to you means so much to me, for
although you never answer, you are
a most discreet and sympathetic lis
tener and l always feel much COM
forted after l have poured out my
whole soul to you.
First of ALL, am going to give the
usual excuse for not writing to some
one for a long time. but in my case
it is true. | have been so busy lately
that | really have had no time TO
send you the letter wanted TO send
and any other kind would be per-
fectly futile.
Secondly, l really have been afraid
that Johns mother would find the
whereabouts of our secret drawer.
Two or three times lately l have
come home to find her sitting at this
lovely old desk where 1 always write
my letters to you which makes me
feel so much nearer, so much more
sympathetic.
When 1 have found Mrs. Prescott
seated here, she has made the OK
cuse that she had come to my sitting
room to see me about something
quite important and not finding me
here had decided to write a letter
while waiting for me.
OF course, Little Marquise, l knew
this was all nonsense, especially as L
found the papers in one of my draw
ers in confusion as though she had
hurried to put them back when she
heard my step in the hall. am
satisfied she is still looking for the
secret drawer in this desk and am
afraid that some day she will find it.
1 expect to go over to Ruth
Burkes shortly, but you may be
sure that before I go, 1 will take
all the letters to you from our
secret hiding place and put them in
my safety deposit box down at the
bank.
One of the reasons have teen so
busy lately is that for the last two
weeks Jacks mother has been trying
to run the children. She has sue
ceeded in antagonizing Hanna and
almost made out little Jack q liar TO
