Absolutely Removes Indigestion. One package proves it 2ocatall druggists. was the most important matter on the program of the ninety-seventh annual session of the Indiana T early Meeting of Friends, the largest body of Quakers In the world, which opened here today. Or. II. I.. Kelly, former president of Earlham c lloge is clerk of the meeting. The stur 1 which yuakers will take on the war has never bc.-n definitely and officially deeded. Some Quakers have expressed dissatisfaction with the ruling of the government on exemption of those religious objections to war. The government has ruled that thete should be drafted, but that they will probably be placed at work b hind the lines. Others have ac-epi.'d the government view and many have enlistad. However, the pneral sentiment among the delegates here todav' seemed to be that service in any capacity connected with the army, is contrary to their religious beliefs. Today's meeting was devoted to a session of ministers and elders and the regular jearly meeting will open tomorrow. PDES TO BUY E. CHICAGO LIIK KALTIMORt;. Md. Sept 17.

SERVIAN MISSION HAD CREDENTIALS Attorneys Conroy and McMahon have made a second statement regarding the Indiana Harbor riot of last week and asked that it be published: "Hammond, Ind., Sept. 17. 1917. "Lake County Time?: ' From what we supposed was Z reliable source, we caused a statement to be published, on behalf of the defendants charged with rioting at the Halkan Hotel at Indiana Harbor, that reflected upon the motives and integrity of Hon. M. Ivanich, and Hon. George Vukimrovfch. "A great injustice has been done these gentlemen. They are accredited representatives, and were and are engaged in the great work of upholding democracy against autocracy. "Our present belief Is that these defendants havo unwittingly heen made the tools of ihe enemy, and we intend to aid the government and civil authorities to the end that the really guilty parties receive the punishment their; crime so Justly merit. We desire all; Montenegrins and Servians and the pub-j lie, to know that Mr. Ivanich and ilr. j Bukimrovich are not imposters,' but j patriots spreading the true gospel of: democracy, and that our former state-1 ment is retracted, and we warn all; those who read papers printed in a foreign tongue to be sure such publications i are not seditious before credence is glv- j en to their contents. j ' JI'MAHON & CONROY.
