For the moderatorshlp of the North ern Assembly three candidates have appeared in lire field. That the con test will be hotly fought is almost certain, but all the indications favored a victory for the conservatives. The candidates are Dr. Maitland Alexander, of Pittsburg, Pa., who has the support of the conservative ele ment; Dr. S. S. Palmer, of Columbus. Ohio, and Dr. William McKibben, of Cincinnati, Ohio. The session of the Southern bran"n aa's opened by Dr. Thomas S. Clyde, of Sherman. Texas, the retiring mod erator, at die North Avenue Church.

Fasting for Cancer, Paris Expert’s Cure Special Cable to The Atlanta Qaorgian. PARIS, May 15.—Dr. Keating Hart, famous French cancer specialist, wljo laid before the Academy of Medicine a new theory for the cure of the malignant disease, which consists chiefly of fasting, holds that cancer Is not hereditary and that It can be cured.

Dr. Hart balleves that the over heated condition of blood, due to heavy eating, makes part of the body susceptible to cancer germs.
