CHRIST TAUGHT NO REVERENCE, DEBATE CHARGE Cops Called to Avert Riot by Enraged Opponents of Evolution. r,H United Press PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 21—Only the timely Intervention of police Thursday night prevented a possible riot among the audience that had gathered in the First Baptist church to hear a debate on evolution. Dr. Jesse Holmes, a Quaker and a member of the Swarthmore college faculty who recently advocated anew religion for the so-called intellectuals, debated with the Rev. W. B. Riley, Minneapolis evangelist. Holmes was supporting evolution and attacking a literal interpretation of the Bible. Taught No Reverence In the course of the debate, he aald Christ actually taught that men should have no reverence for their parents. Christ, Holmes said, did not show much affection for his parents when, while he was addressing a multitude, someone told him his father and mother were waiting for him outside the city. A murmer of protest ran through the audience. Many persons arose from theii seats and shook their fists at Holmes. One woman held her Bible aloft and shouted at the speaker: “Salvation, that's what you need. Evolution! Devilishness, that’s what you mean.” Police Quiet Crowd Police, who had been on duty outside (he church, entered and quieted the audience. In the debate. Homes made the following statements: “Only morons hold the Bible to be infallible. “Anti-evolutionists are medievally minded. “Members of evangelical sects like the Baptists and Methodists suffer from intellectual atrophy. “Christians habitually misinterpret the Bible to justify their ignorant opinions or feelings.” Holmes charged that Mr. Riley did not try' to refute the theory of evolution, but “merely cracked jokes.” Former Resident Dies It.m Time* Special ANDERSON, Ind., Feb. 21.—Mrs. Retta Gilcrist, 65, former resident here.

DRINK WATER IF BACK OR KIDNEYS HURT Begin Taking Saits If You Feel Backachy or Have Bladder Weakness. Too much rich food forms acids which excite and overwork the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Flush the kidneys occasionally to relieve them like you relieve the bowels, removing acids, waste and poison, else you may feel a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, the stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. To help neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body’s urinous waste, begin drinking water. Also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine and bladder disorders disappear. This famous salts is made from the acids of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is inexpensive and makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to help prevent serious kidney and bladder disorders. By all means, drink lots of good water every day.—Advertisement.

SPECIAL TRAIN BEARS STRICKEN ALASKAN GUIDE All Resources Massed for Eskimo, 111 as Result of Exposure. Bu United Press THE PAS, Manitoba, Feb. 21. Egatook, aged Eskimo, regarded as the white man’s best friend and guide in the northland, glanced over the barren waste land which

brought him trapper's fame for perhaps the last time today. From his sickbed on a special train as it sped on its last lap in the 1,100-n ile journey to a hospital here, Egatook’s emaciated body burned with fever as trainmen gave him the first adequate n edical attention he has received since he had. both legs and an arm frozen in a blizzard several days ago. The aged trapper late Thursday was taken aboard the special train which had sped to Mile 378, winter terminus of the Hudson Bay line, to meet young Bud Stewart and his seven huskies. The musher had
