WHY SCHWAB’S sls SUITS ARE BETTER.
There must be a reason for the success of men and things. It’s not a mere
chance=-there’s something of vital importance that makes this success possible and
holds it.
Schwab’s sls Special Suits achieved almost instant success. In the first
place, these garments were the first handmade suits in America that bore a retail
price set by the makers.
The uniqueness of this idea attracted instant attention. Secondly, these
garments were introduced as a leader—a special line to promote the sale of the
entire line of Scwab’s Clothes from $lO to $25. From its comparatively small success at the first, this special
in only six seasons has grown to be, without any question, the greatest clothing leader in America and since
its first introduction, the Schwabs of St. Louis have tripled their facilities in the making of them. We want
you to visit our store and see this great leader, You’ll never find better fitting, better made or more stylish
suits even at much higher prices.
Ask one of our salesmen to show you the sls Suits with the label “on the sleeve”—we’ve never had
a more popular leader in our store.

AMERICA’S RICHEST CHURCH
Distinguished Men In Attendance From

Opening Service of Convention
-Remarriage of Divorced

Question.
RICHMOND, VA„ Oct. 2.—(Special)
—An imposing religious service
marked the opening this morning of
the triennial council of the Protes
tant Episcopal Church in the United
States. Within the walls of Holy
Trinity church, the leading Episcopal
parish of Virginia, were assembledthe
greatest minds of the clergy and laity
of this powerful denomination. The
bishops, or fathers of the church,
were there in greater numbers than
at any previous councif. The clergy
were represented by theologians of
eminence and orators of renown, the
laity by financiers whose influence is
international, lawyers than whom
there are none more able and men of
other professions who have reached
the top round of the ladder of fame.
It was a distinguished gathering of
distinguished men, one eminently
representative of the wealthiest re
ligious body of the American conti
nent. Admission to the service was
strictly by ticket, and when the dele
gates had been provided for little
room remained for the local repre
sentatives of the church, although
these would have been present in
thousands had space permitted.
The service opened at 11 o'clock
and was preceeded by a procession of
several score of bishops, all robed in
their canonicals. These occupied the
chancel, within the railing in
side of which not a single
priest or laymen pas per-
mitted. The service, which did
not differ from the regular morning
service of the denomination, was ful
ly choral and was followed by the
triennial sermon. This afternoon the
house of deputies w r as formally org
anized and preparations completed
for taking up the regular business of
the council.
Many Notables Present.
Among the scores of notables who
are taking part in the convention
three or four stand out conspicuously
above all the rest. One of these is
the venerable Bishop Futtle of Mis
souri, the senior bishop of the church
and the presiding officer at the trien
nial. The most prominent represen
tative of the laity is J. Pierpont
Morgan, the great New York finan
cier, who never fails to attend the
conventions of the church. Two noted
visitors are here frob abroad, the
Rev. Dr. A. F. W. Ingraham, Bishop
of London, and Right Rev. Edgar
Jacob, Bishop of St. Albans.
The presence of the noted repre
sentatives of the Church of England
is due primarily to the fact that the
convention begun today commemor
ates the 300th anniversary of the
founding of the Episcopal church in
America. Most of the early religious
work in the colonies was done under
the jurisdiction of the diocese of
London and St. Albans, so that it is
especially appropriate that the pres
ent occupants of those sees should
attend the convention.
The Bishop of London will present
a Bible in behalf of the King of Eng
land to the old Bruton Church, the
1 first Anglican Church in America.
This Bible is a magnificent work of
art, bound in red Niger leather, with
decorative treatment of interlaced
lines tooled in gold. On the front
and back dobulures are the arms of
the King and the United States re
spectively, and on the back are the
arms of Virginia. This sumptuous
Bible will rest on a lectern, symbolic
of internationalism, given by Presi
dent Roosevelt
Ueniiirriage of Divorced Persons.
Rt. Rev. W. C. Doan, bishop of Al
bany, N. Y., has give notice that in
the convention he will propose a
canon absolutely prohibiting the re
marriage of divorced persons.
THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3,1907.
The Boston convention of 1904
passed a cannon on this subject con
siderably strengthening the position
of the church, the present working
law requiring a minister to secure
the sanction of his bishop or other
ecclesiastical authority before solem
nizing the marriage of a person
known to have a divorced wife or
husband living, and implying that the
bishop shall consent only to the re
marriage of the innocent party. In
the judgment of many persons this
canon is sufficiently prohibitive.
Bishop Doane and the advocates of
the revised canon do not base their
arguments on Scriptural grounds
only. They say the state of society
in this country presents to the
church a critical problem, to be
solved only by the heroic measures.
Bishop Doane argues that in the
“awful conditions of present laxity”
even exceptions to the rule are inad- j
visable, holding that the remarriage !
of divorced persons is in all cases |
morally wrong.
Hard Times in Kansas.
The old days of grasshoppers and
drouth are almost forgotten in the
prosperous Kansas of today; although
a citizen of Codell, Earl Shamburg,
has not yet forgotten a hard time he
encountered. He says: “I was worn
out and discouraged by coughing night
and day, and could find no relief till
I tried Dr. King’s New Discovery.
It took less than one bottle to com
pletely cure me.” (The safest and

The law, which was passed by the

The law requires that all foods
and feed stuffs shall be registered

foods tagged and on each tag there
shall be placed an Inspection stamp

Commissioner Hudson calls atten
tion to the fact that cattle feed, cot
ton seed meal to be classed as meal

and if below that standard it will be
known as mixed feed and registered
as such.
