£VEN a dog saves. Why don’t you start a
bank account? J 1 ifi
It is natural instinct with every living creature who does not
perish with a season to save something for a time of need. Sav
ing is one instinct which every one should follow. Civilization pro
vides the bank, a better place for saving than nature has ever
provided. Why don’t you start an account today?

Even in good health you cannot use decayed vegetables or meats.
It would not strengthen you as your food is intended to. Neither
do you care for fruits or flowers unless they are fresh. You do
not take drugs unless you are already ill, so it is even of more

Attorneys Say Church Can’t
Get Property.
FORTUNE PASSES TO KIN
Hannis Taylor, Ex-Senator Chandler
and Others Declare Will is Null and
Void—Injunction is asked to Prevent
Any Disposition of the Property.
That the residuary clause In the will
of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, founder
of the Christian Science church, is null
and void, is the opinion of ex-Senator
William E. Chandler, Hannis Taylor,
of Washington, D. C., professor of con
stitutional and international law at
George Washington University, and
others, as given out for publlcation-at
Concord, N. H. The clause provides
for a gift of about $200,000 to the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, of Boston,
known as the “mother church.”
A statute of New Hampshire pro
hibiting a bequest to a church of over
$5,000 annually is the basis of the
opinion which is written by Professor
Taylor.
The Facts 'Reviewed.
Mr. Chandler, as counsel for the
“next friends,” in his letter to Profes
sor Taylor reviews the facts regard
lng Mrs. Eddy’s will and estate and the
“next friends” suit which resulted in
Mrs. Eddy's placing a large sum ef
money in trust for her son, George W.
Glover, of Lead, S. D., and his chil
dren. He then described his Bigning
the agreement by which the “next
friends” suit was settled and adds:
“Mr. Streeter (General Frank S.
Streeter, of Concord) drew the agree
ment for my signature. When signing
I took it for granted that Mrs. Eddy
would not, in giving away her prop
erty, undertake to violate public law.
If I had thought she had already done
so, by attempting to create a church
with an endowment of $2,000,000, I
should not have signed.”
A petition was filed in the superior
court at Concord by ex-Senator Chan
dler and oLher attorneys, asking the
court for a const: uction of Mrs. Eddy's
will, particularly (he clause relating to
the residuary estate.
The petitioners also pray for an in
junction against any disposition being
made of the property in question pend
ing the construction of the residuary
Clause.
UNION OF METHODISTS.
Steps Taken Towards Welding South
ern and Northern Branches.
A long step was taken at Chatta
nooga in the organic union of Meth
odism in America, when the Centena
ry Methodist Episcopal Church. South,
and the Methodist Episcopal Church
(northern branch) agreed to consoli
date and build one great church and
be one people.
A meeting of interest to American
Methodism as a whole was held.
Twenty-five representatives of each
branch of Methodism met and dis
cussed the future of Chattanooga
Methodism. Members of these two
churches, which separated in 1845, on
account of political and ecclesiastical
differences, declared themselves one
In spirit, and, while recognizing loyalty
to their respective denominations,
every speaker showed himself in favor
of a re-union of the Methodist family
in America.
John A. Patten and Bishop William
Anderson, both members of the com
mission on organic union, participated
in the discussion. President John H.
Race, of Chattanooga university, made
a strong appeal for union.
CLEMENTS IS CHOSEN.
Georgia Man Chairman to Succeed
Judge M. A. Knapp, of New York.
Judson C. Clements, of Georgia, has
been unanimously elected chairman
of the interstate commerce commis
sion, vice Martin A. Knapp, of New
York, who has been elevated to the
circuit court bench by President Taft.
Chairman Clements will head the
commission until 1913, when his terra
expires, and in the event of his re
appointment, will doubtless he re
elected to the chairmanship.
As chairman of the commission,
Judge Clements becomes an ex-officio
mediator under the Erdman act for
the adjustment of differences between
railroad companies and their em
ployees. He will serve In this con
nection with Commissioner of Labor
Neill- His services in this capacity
will in many respects prove quite as
important as his work as an inter
state commisioner, it is believed.

ALABAMA SOLONS MEET.
Fight Will Be Made to Repeal Prohl-
bitlorn Law.
The Alabama legislature met in
Montgomery this week in regular ses
sion. Many important questions are
to be considered.
An effort will be made to repeal
the prohibition laws. Governor-elect
O’Neal will recommend a return to the
policy ef local option and the carrying
out of the platform on which he was
nominated and elected. However,
there is a strong prohibition faction in
the legislature and the repeal of the
laws is not assured, though it is gen
erally believed they will be.
Another important action is the cre
ation of an appellate court, interme
diary between the nisi prlus courts
and the supreme court. It is thought
that there will be no opposition of im
portance to this measure.
A dozen bills providing for commis
sion form of municipal government
will be introduced, and one will al
most certainly be enacted.

A great host of accomplished Euro

shortly coming to this country to Join
the thugs, yeggmen and black-handers
who already enjoy American hospital
ity, according to Andrew D. White,
former president of Cornell university
and ex-minister to Russia and Ger-
n any.
In a statement to the press. Dr,
White urges the immediate passage
of laws to bar from the shores of the
United States a flood of undesirables
who he declared will hasten hither as
soon as England expels them. He
says:
“The assassin and anarchist, whom
London plans to be well rid of short,
have an admirable refuge In the Unit
ed States—a country lying wide open
to them, in which they will find mofo
companions, sympathizers and effect
ive helpers than in any other.
“Our nation affords them the hBp-
piest of happy hunting grounds.
Events in New York, in Los Angeles,
in Chicago and other cities prove this.
""This nation, with its carelessness
in admitting foreign criminals, Its In
effectual ways of dealing with them
and its facilities for clearing them of
gruilt is becoming more and more at
tractive for them every day. . .
“Another thing is the fact that our
government really seems to make no
serious effort to prevent their coming
here,. No examination of doubtful
characters made in our own ports can
be made effective. The examinations
should be made at our own consulates
abroad, where police records can he
obtained, and where testimony of
value can be taken.”

NEWS LETTER FROM
NATIONAL CAPITAL
Senatorc Bacon and TarreH of
Georgia Pushing Measures.
THEY ARE DOING GOOD WORK
Dolllver Bll! to Extend Federal Aid to
the States In Encouraging Agricul
tural Eduoatlon Meets With Favor.
Livingston Offered $28,000 Position.
(By John Corrigan, Washington Cor
respondent Atlanta Constitution.)
Saaators Bacon and Terrell have re
called a memorial signed by practi
cally all the railway trainmen and
employees of the Central of Georgia
and Atlantic Coast Line railways, urg
ing them to favor steps that will per
mit the railways to increase their
passenger and freight rates. The
signers say the Interests of the rail
roads -and railroad employees are
Identical, and that the roads must
prosper It an adequate and stable
wage scale is maintained. The me
morial has been delivered to the inter
state commerce commission.
The Dolllver Bill.
Senator Terrell’s activity In behalf
of the Dolllver bill to extend federal
aid to the states in encouraging ag
ricultural education, and to train the
boys and girls in various Industries
and home economics, seems to have
struck a responsive chord in Georgia.
“I knew you would b'e heard from
In the Interest of education,” wrote
one enthusiastic admirer. “Keep up
the fight for agricultural education.
It Is the hope of the south. Our farm
ers formerly thought they knew how
to raise corn, until the boys came
along last year and raised from 80 >o
228 bushels per acre. That was brought
about by education. We have Just
found out we are In the A, B, C class
In agriculture. Push agricultural ed
ucation. It Is needed worse than any
thing else, and the farmer, the man
who feeds us all, deserves this recog
nition.”
Senator Terrell Active.
Senator Terrell has had several con
ferences with Willett M. Hay3, assist
ant secretary of agriculture, in refer
ence to perfecting the pending bill.
Whatever a new member may do to
push the measure through, Senator
Terrell is going to do. Agricultural
education will probably be the subject
of his maiden speech In the senate.
He will tell of Georgia’s pioneer
work in establishing agricultural
schools. These "schools” were made
an Issue in the campaign In which
Mr. Terrell was elected governor.
The new senator from Georgia has
probably made more acquaintances
and friends in the agricultural depart
ment than In any other executive da
partment. They knew of his work be
fore he came to Washington and were
delighted to see and know him. Hls
hobby, agricultural education, has
made him solid with that branch of
the government service.
Protests From Georgians.
The two Georgia senators and mem
bers of the lower house are receiving
a large number of strong protests
from Georgia newspapers. against the
government continuing in the printing
business. Owners of Job printing of
fices cannot see why Uncle Sam
should print envelopes any more than
it.should print newspapers or sell gro
ceries. The repeal of the law Is de
sired. "Let the government furnish
Btdtnped envelopes if It cares to do
so,” say the job printing houses, “but
leave to private citizens the work of
doing the printing.” Senators Bacon
and Terrell are giving the petitions
earnest consideration.
Livingston Offered Good Job.
Colonel Livingston has been offered
a high official position with a western
mining company at $25,000 a year sal
ary, on leaving congress March 4, but
has declined to consider It because he
was not satisfied with the company’s
plan of doing business.
Democrats and republican Insur
gents will easily control the next sen
ate. Only the continued good health
of a number of senators representing
normally republican states that now
have democratic legislatures can pre
vent the democrats, alone and unaid
ed, gaining complete control of the
upper house within the next two years.
The republican majority In two years
has dwindled from 30 to 7.
