END LIVER TROUBLE WITHOUT CALOMEL

Untrustworthy Drug, Thought to Loosen the Teeth, Now Made Absolutely Unnecessary.

(Palladium Special) INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 18. The declaration of faith, issued hy Richmond, (Ind.) conference in 1887 and the letter of George Fox to the Governor of the Barbadoes in 1681, created a debate over church doctrine at the Five Year Meeting of Friends, being held here, which for a time threatened to split the Friends' meeting. The debate was started when the business committee reported for adoption its interpretation of a clause in the uniform discipline of the church. The interpretation of this clause has already caused one Yearly meeting, the

Ohio, to draw from the Five Year t

meeting and doubts were expressed by members as to the effect on the Five Year meeting, . If presnet differences are not settled satisfactorily. The clause of the uniform discipline, the interpretation of which threatens the unity of . the church is: "For more explicit and extended statements of belief, reference is made to those officially put forth at various times, especially to the letter of George Fox to the governor of the Barbadoes In 1861 and the declaration of faith issued by the Richmond conference in- 1887." Interpretation Is Issue. Whether the effect of the above clause of reference is to incorporate into the uniform discipline as an intergral part of the church belief Tioth Fox's letter and the Richmond declaration of faith, or whether the proper Interpretation is that the church givesitB sanction to these two documents as historical statements of the belief of the church is the question at issue. The letter of George Fox to the governor of Barbadoes was written in 1671, in an attempt to ward off persecution of the Quaker sect, and set out for the governor's benefit the belief held by the Quakers in the attempt to i show him that the beliefs did not merit persecution of their holders.

The Richmond declaration of faith , was . made in 1887, at Richmond, Ind., i when the quinquennial conference was ( organized. In 1902 the name was ichanged to the five years meeting i when the quinquennial conference met in Indianapolis. At that time the unijform discipline was adopted by the I Five Years meeting, having been ref eri red to the yearly meetings by the conference five years before for ratification. Up to 1912 there had been thirteen I yearly meetings in the conference. At (that time the Ohio Yearly meeting rej fused to ratify the uniform discipline on account of the clause. Twelve other yearly meetings ratified the uniform discipline containj ing the clause referring to the Rich- ; mond declaration of faith and George ; Fox's letter to the governor of Barbadoes, and subsequently Nebraska was organized as a yearly meeting and . adopted the discipline. This makes ' the present number of yearly metings In jthe five years meeting thirteen.

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets the substitute for calomel are the mildest, but surest laxative known, and their effect on the liver is "almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. Dr. Edwards has been calomel's uncompromising foe. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets, a rare combination of vegetable compounds mixed with olive oil. These pleasant, harmless little tablets do all the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. Tbey take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with

the gums. So do strong liquids, it is best not to take calomel at all, but to let Olive Tablets take their place. , Most headache, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and "heavy." Note how they 'clear' the clouded brain and how they "perk up" the spirits. At 10c and 25c a box.

own." The Olive

Ohio having dropped out and Philadelphia never having come n. It is the contention of a number of delegates that the understanding of some of the yearly meetings at the time they adopted the discipline was that the clause in question did incorpo-

on this auae by all the yearly meet

ings at the time that they adopted it. Stanley's View. Edmund Stanley, delegate from Kansas, suggested that If the Richmond declaration and the letter of George Fox are not to be incorporated into the discipline, then seven yearly meetings

which have ' adopted the discipline holding the contrary view adopted something which they did not understand. Some of the opponents to this view assert that it is not within the power of Edmund Stanley to say what the members of yearly meetings which adopted the discipline thought as to the interpretation of the clause under discussion when they adopted it. At least three yearly meetings expressed in definite words when they adopted the discipline that it was their intention that the clause of reference should incorporate the Richmond declaration and George Fox's letter. On motion to strike out the word "historical" in the business committee's report as descriptive of "statements," the motion was carried. This would make the business committee report, as amended, interpret the discipline as incorporating the two documents into the present day belief of the church. M. C. Pearson, of the western yearly meeting, presented the following resolution which was substituted for the report of the business committee: "Resolved, that the five-years meeting at this time give its hearty and unqualified approval of the Richmond declaration of faith and George Fox's letter to the governor of Barbadoes, and that this action, be made a part of the minutes of this meeting." The whole matter was then sent back to the business committee for a report to the meeting this afternoon. Allen C. Thomas, professor of history in Haverford college, made a plea that nothing be adopted by the five- years meeting on which the church has an honest difference of opinion, and which might cause a split. The report of the finance committee

strenuous efforts to prevent the action. He reviewed the efforts of the committee to prevent the fortification of the Panama canal, the building of more dreadnoughts for the navy, the rejection of the France-England-Ameri

can arbitration treaty, and to secure the passage of the Kenyon bill pre

venting interstate shipment of liquor into dry territory. The legislation committee report was accepted. On Teur. The Actor What ts poetry of motion? The Pet The kind that's always goins from editor to editor. Wo man's Borne Coinpsiolon.

rate the Richmond declaration and

George Fox's letter. These delegates ! of the five year meeting showed that

maintain that the five years meeting ; the expenses of the meeting, amount-

can not put an interpretation on the clause which would retroact upon their original adoption of the discipline to make it's basis erroneous. They claim that the discipline would have been rejected by their yearly meetings if the interpretation had been made, as recommended by the business committee, prior to 1902. The other side of the question is upheld by the New Yorkers and Baltimoreans and others. They maintain that it is not the function nor within the power of the five years meeting to say by passing on the question now, what was the interpretation placed up-

ing to mor than $6,000, had been prorated among the several yearly meetings. Timothy Nicholson reported as chairman of the committee on legislation. He reviewed the work of his committee in the last five years. He said that most of Xhe anti-Baloon measures in the Indiana legislature during the last forty years had been fathered by .Friends. The efforts of the legislation committee to prevent the repeal of the county local option law had been successful in 1909 he said, but in 1911 the Democratic legislature repealed the county local option law although hie. committee made
