tates. Tlie: pledges in all will amount

to $35,000 toward the $50,000 budget to be raised in all of the Yearly Meet

its various boards. The pledges Monday for $35,000 were made within twenty minutes after the first $1,000 was subscribed. Carey is Leader. John R. Carey, of Baltimore, "-'a member of the Business committee, led the subscriptions. He said he would give one-tenth of the total amount subscribed the first year, and would deposit $1,000 in the Dickinson Trust company of Richmond. He intimated that if the subscriptions were large enough the first year that he would probably double his contribution. Hollingsworth Wood then announced that he would subscribe $1,000 on behalf of the New York Yearly Meeting and Western Yearly Meeting followed with a pledge .for raising $1,000 annually for five years. California and New England Yearly Meeting pledged $500 eachIndiana's pledge was the largest Monday morning. Allen D.

Carey in a brief talk, preceding the subscriptions, declared there should be a campaign of education in the various yearly meetings, which compose the Five Years Meeting, In regard to the raising of funds

to meet the expenses of the central body. ! "We are not even going to adequately support our ministers, who are being slowly starved to death,, until people l-.am how to give," he said. "And I haven't found a single stingy Christian who has any spiritual power. The life-blood of the organization must beb put into this work." . At the recemmendation of the Business committee,- the Social Service committee, the committee on Evengelistic and Church Extension work and the committee on Negro Welfare work were merged into one body to be known as the Home Mission board. Liquor Left Out It was first recommended that the cemmittee to work for the suppression of the liquor traffic also be made a part of the new hoy, but after a lengthy discussion it was agreed that the work of this committee was too great to be a part of another body. The hardest battle for prohibition is tc come within the next six years, S. Edgar Nicholson and Charles Tebbets told the delegates. A separate board should remain for the work of fighting the traffic, it was finally decided. Whether the chairman of all boards or a designated member of all boards be made a member of the executive board was referred back to the Business committee and will be acted upor. later. Other members of the board will be tha presiding clerk of the Five Years Meeting and one person from each Yearly Meeting. The meeting must map out a definite program for the raising of the S-,000,000 endowment fund was the statement of Charles Tebbets, when the recommendation was made that the campaign be- placed into the hands of the executive board, .

A FRENCH PORT, Oct. 22. Survivors of the United States transport Antilles, which was sunk by a German submarine last week while being convoyed on her homeward trip by American warships, were landed here Sunday by auxiliary vessels and are being cared for by the American consulate.Some of the men have been lodged in local hotels and a few have left for Pris. The torpedoed steamer was struck at a quarter to seven Wednesday

morning. Many of those on board were killed in their berths and others while dressing. The explosion killed the engineers, oilers and mechanics and those of the crew who were in the bunks below. All of the survivors praise the captain of the Antilles and the members of the gun crew, who took to their posts while the officers searched with field glasses for the submarine until the waves closed over the ship. When the Antilles sank, forty or fif-

ty men were at the stern. Most of them leaped fifty feet or more into the sea as the stern rose to a perpendicular position and some were drawn down by the suction of the sinking vessel. The submarine was not sights ed either before or after the explosion. The sea was running high at the time, making it difficult to save the crews and passengers. Some survivors, clinging to debris, were in the water an hour before they were sighted by the lifeboats.

Healthy Skin Depends on Kidneys The skin and the intestines, which work together with the kidneys to, throw out the poisons of the body, do a part of the work, but a clean body and a healthy one depends on the kidneys. If the kidneys are clogged with toxic poisons you suffer from stiffness in the knees in the morning on arising, your joints seem "rusty," you may have rheumatic pains, pain in the back, stiff neck, headaches, sometimes swollen fect; - or neuralgic pains all due to the uric acid or toxic poisons in the blood. This is the time to go to the nearest drug store and simply obtain a 50c. package of Anuric (double strength), the discovery of Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y. Then drink a cup of hot water before meals, with an Anuric Tablet, and notice the gratifying results. You will find that Anuric dissolves uric acid almost ae water does sugar.
