NATIONAL PURITY
CONGRESS OPENS TODAY
White Slave Traffic Will
Be Discussed.
BATTLE CREEK, MICH., October
oq (Special) —With a meeting of the
executive committee and preparatory
and devotional exercises, the National
Purity congress will open its sessions
in Battle Creek tomorrow'. Distin
guished religious, charitable, educa
tion and sociological authorities from
all parts of the country are present
and will address the congress during
the seven days of its session.
The congress is being held under
the auspices of the National Purity
federation an association having for
its object the affiliation of all organi
zations in America that are promoting
purity in the life of tne individual and
in social relations. The federation is
non-sectarian. Its growth during the
last year has been very rapid and its
mission is now being fully recognized
by all religious and reform bodies.
One of the most important sub
jects to be considered during the con
-3 gress is that of conservative and prac
tical methods of imparting instruc
tion in physialogy and hygiene and
moral education in the home, the
school and by physicians and minis
ters. ■
The white slave traffic will occupy
an entire session, and every proof
will be offered that there is a thor-<
oughly organized and systematic tra
ffic in girls, whereby they are actually
sold, and that this traffic extends
throughout this country and foreign
lands. ’ . '
Other sessions Will be devoted to
legislative matters, law enforcement,
social disease, rescue work and kind
red topics.
The charge that the press of the
country is responsible for the spread
of “crime waves” by printing full
and inflaming details of outrages will
be considered at length.
Among the organizations represent
ed at the congress are the Woman’s
Christian Temperance union, Society
for Suppression of Vice, American
Woman Suffrage association; National
Friends society, Christian Endeavor
. society, Epworth league, National
Child Labor society, International
Helping Hand society, Royal Temper
ance, Sunshine society, Alliance of
Honor and National Council of Jew
ish Women.
No home is so pleasant regardless
of the comforts that money will buy,
as when the entire family is in per
fect health. A bottle of Orino Laxa
tive Fruit Syrup costs 50 cents. It
will cure every member of the family
of constipation, sick headache or
stomach trouble. Sold by all drug

EMERGENCY RATIONS
TOR PACIFIC SQUADRON
Nutrition Compressed Into
Very Small Space.
NEW YORK, October 30. (Special)
—One hundred thousand emergency
rations, to be used by Uncle Sam’s
sea fighters when all other food sup
plies fail, have just been received at
the Brooklyn navy yard from a wes
tern packing house. While such rat
ions have been in use in the army for
some time, this is the first time that
the navy department has ever placed
an order for such food. It is under
stood that the rations will be taken
on the cruise of Cjje fleet to the Pa
cific, but will be used only in case
the ships should be cut off from ordi
nary supplies.
The ration is packed in cans and
sealed under vacuum, and constitutes
the greatest triumph yet achieved in
compressing nutritious food into a
small space. Each can contains a
day’s allowance for one person, and
includes eight ounces of beef, six
ounces of parched wheat, eight ounces
of chocolate and one ounce of salt and
pepper. The beef is freed from all;
fat and muscle and is dried under a \
temperature of 115 degrees, leaving
only about 5 per cent, moisture. This
causes a shrinkage of fully 100 per
ceht. in the bulk of the beef, so that
the eight-ounce allowance is equal
to a pound of ordinary beef. The
parched wheat and chocolate is also
greatly compressed and all moisture I
eliminated.
The rations cannot shrink nor spoil,!
and will remain in perfect condition in
any climate for many years. While l
it is not believed that the fleet will !
have use for such rations, the navy
department has considered it the part
of wisdom to be prepared for any em
ergency.

“Out of sight, out of mind,” is an
old saying -which applies with spec

that’s been treated with Bucklen’s
Arnica Salve. It’s out of sight, out of
miud and out of existence. Piles too
and chilblains disappear under its
healing influences. Guaranteed by

POPE PIUS X
FAVORS REFORMS
ROME, October 30. (Special)—Pius
X. is called a reactionary in many
respects, but he is constantly advan
cing in the matter of reforming the
machinery of the Church. He has
gone on very quietly so that outsid
ers hardly know what has been done,
but those who know T declare that not
only is economy studied, but a better
and more modern system has been
introduced all along the line.
The latest reform projected is in
the Congregation of the Index, which
decides w'hat books shall be placed in
the “Index Librorum Prohibitorum.”
Nearly forty years ago a strong ap
peal 1 was made to Pope Pius IX, to
undertake the reformation of the In
dex; but those were perilous days in
Rome —days in which the Papal au
thorities cared more about fire arms
than books. They, therefore, while
freely acknowledging that the work
wanted doing, put off doing it to a
more convenient season.
Graves and Hears!
(Montgomery Journal)
There may be something more be
hind the selection of Mr. Hearst of
Mr. Graves as an editor of his New
York American than appears upon the
surface. Hearst and the republicans
of New York have combined on a
county ticket, and if in return Hearst
should agree to support Roosevelt for
President Graves would be mighty
willing to help along such a move
ment. His speech at Chattanooga ad
vising Bryan to nominate Roosevelt
for president in the national demo
cratic convention may have had
something to do with the present and
future of Mr. Hearst’s purposes. Mr.
Hearst is a very shrewd and able
leader, and has been until recently
one of the most underrated men in
the country.

LIQUOR TRADE AFTER
LAW-BREAKING SELLERS.
Association Passes Strong
Resolutions.
NEW YORK, October 30.—(Special)
—The New York wholesale Liquor
Dealers Association, at their recent
animal meeting denounced the “few
dealers who continue to bring upon
our business odium and criticism,”
aud wants them to be denied license.
. After much talk, the convention un
animously adopted resolutions in
which it was declared the the legiti
mate fhanufucture and sale of alcoho
lic beverages is an honorable and rep
jutable trade, and that the great ma
jority of men engaged in it are honor
able and patriotic American citi
zens. To denounce these men, it was ,
added, is not only unfair and unjust;
to those men themselves, but also to ’
the Federal Government, “which de
rives a substantial portion of its
revenue from those engaged in the
business.” ,
Regarding the “few dealers” the fol
lowing resolutions were passed:
“We recommend and urge the pas
sage of laws which shall make the
granting of license to sell liquors de
pendent in a large measure upon the
character and reputation of the appli
cant.
“We urge that the present laws be
changed to the end that the busings
may be ultimately conducted by men
of recognized character and standing
in the community.
“We recommend that drastic steps
,be taken to remove from the sphere
■of politics the so-called “saloon ques
tion” and that all proposed legisla
tion be submitted to the test of ex
perience of other communities, and
that such proposed legislation be bas
ed not upon temporary inflamed de
sires of extremists, but upon sound
economic and social principles.”
RUSSIA AND JAPAN
CONCLUDE TREATY
WASHINGTON, D. C., October 30.
(Special)—The American State De
partment this afternoon issued an
announcement respecting the recently
negotiated Russo-Japanese Treaty of
Commerce and Navigation and the
Fisheries Treaty ratified on September
7, 1907.
• The new treaty follows closely the
one In force before the war and pro
vides for mutual most-favored-nation
treatment instead of a tariff; for liber
ty of residence and travel; for equal
rights before the courts with the
subjects of the country, for most
favored-nation treatment in regard
to residence and travel, the ownership
of personal property, the transmission
of personal property by will or other
wise, and the disposal of any proper
ty which may be held legally; for
liberty of conscience and for most
favored-nation treatment as to the
ownership of land.
With the conclusion of these treaties
and of the recent political conven
tion all the questions between the
Japanese and Russian Governments
which owe their origin to the late
war have been settled except the de
limitation of the Russo-Japanese
frontier in Sakhalin and the payment
of the sum due by Russia on account
of the maintenance of the Russian
prisoners of war in Japan.

KELLOGG S EIGHT
ON STANDARD OIL,
Victorious in First Half of
Struggle,
NEW YORK, October 30.—(Special)
—Friday, October IS, marked the end
of the first half in the great struggle
between the United States Government
and the world's mightiest monoply—
the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey—and in that period the Govern
ment has scored touchdowns and
goals galore.
When the hearing is resumed in
December, Kellogg will take up the
question of Standard Oil financiering,
its ownership of railroads, gas com
panies, coal lands, banks and indus
trial enterprises and its wide-reaching
system of rebates.
Kellogg's first assault upon the.
Standard Oil citadel was more like a
school teacher examining a class of
children than anything alse. For
months he had worked on the sub
ject and when he appeared before
Judge Ferris he knew exactly as
much as he did when William G.
Rockefeller, John D’s brother and
aid, stepped from the witness stand
on that final Friday and the hearing
adjourned until December 2, “to give
the attorneys opportunity to study the
evidence as far as it has gone.”
Numerous Witnesses-
He called numerous witnesses, most
of them men connected with the actual
machinery of the trust. His exami
nation of them, for the most part, con
sisted of firing cold facts at them for
verification and they, under oath, were
forced to admit that what he said
was true.
While the Government’s attorney
unearthed many things people never
dreamed, he did not get all the infor
mation (or verification) that he went
after. For instance, those millions
loaned ‘to interests other than Stand
ard Oil” were not satisfactorily ex
plained. The deal by which the Man
hattan Oil Company, of Ohio, was
sold never was made very clear to
Kellogg, and he failed to locate a safe
containing the records of the liquida
tion trustees.
The safe disappeared some years
ago from the office of the comptroller
of the company and no one seems to
know whither it went.
Keeps Attorneys Busy
During the six weeks respite before
the second half of the struggle is
taken up, Mr. Kellogg will endeavor
to clear up these points and it is
not too much to say that the trust
attorneys will need every minute of
that time ‘to study the evidence as
far as it has gone” and to prepare
for the new attack that is to come.
