NEW RELIGIONS DIFFER FROM OLD IN MOTIVES "The old and the new religions differ In their alliances, their motives and their appeal," said Dr. F. Raymond Sturte vant. Unitarian -minister at Taunton, Mass., In his lecture Sunday morning to the TJnlterians at Turpln's hall. "The old was allied with magio and miracles, motlvlzed by fear, and appealed by out-w-rrd forms. The new Is allied with science and sense. Is Motlvlzed by loy alty and rppcala to the mind, heart, -onscitnce end soul. The liberality of the free church is its temporal weakness and tte spiritual strength. Forms, rites, ceremonies rnd BUllkens spell temporal strength, hut spiritual vegetation. The free church I Imperative In a democracy.

Advanced medical authorities assert that auto-intoxication ia the foundation of most of the modern maladies from which run-down Americans suffer. "This condition." says Joseph Von Trlmbach, noted giver of health aids, and who created the famous formula of Tan lac, "ft nothing more nor less than the slow, sclf-poisoning of the vital organs produced by the excessive strsln of life today. The reserve force of the organs Is exhausted and as they function below normal, toxins actual poisons are gen erated within one's own body. "In the majority of cases the trouble starts with the stomach. But In any case the blame lies with faulty methods of living. When the organs falter In their duties and become congested, the body Is tainted with poisons and the victim ylclda to their Influences, fc'tomarn and Intestinal troubles and catarrhal af fections are moat often caused by auto- I intoxication.

FRENCH AND BULGAR PATROLS IN SKIRMISH SCOTS ARE EASY FOR OMAHA DANES Champion Tuf-o'-War Team of Chi cago Laiti Ten Minute and forty-Seven Seconds. BUT THE SCOTS HAVE AN ALIBI LONDON, Feb. 7. A dispatch to neu ter's Telegram company from Salonlkl says: "There wss a skirmish Sunday between French and Bulgarian mounted patrols on the Dolran frontier at salient 22 T, about a kilometer south of the front line. H resulted In two of the French troopers being wounded. The Bulgarian casualties are not known. This was the first clush since the entente allies' retirement to their new lines."

A moment 1st. r lx Omaha Danes inarched onto the platrorm and prepared for a little tug-of-war with the brawny Jcots. Ten minutes and forty-seven and one If Hi seconds later the fcols were ex Hinlng how It happened. The explanation runs something like his the Chbago Scots were not secua :omed to the tug-cr-wai method of nisbs. Hack there each man on the ram alts In a sort of anchor, braced on ill sides, And merely pulls on the rope by the, use of the srms exclusively. The pullets do not move at all, the rope merely sliding back and forth. The anchor man has a cog-wheel attachment hy which he merely pulls up the slack or lets it out. The Omaha method Is different. The men are not braced and can be yanked off their balance. This happened to the Scots last night. , Thus, although' defeated, and It might he an Id luiinmliilouaty, the Chicago Scots have an alibi. While the said alibi didn't go with the crowd lust nUht, It satisfied the Windy City clisps. t hanittona of W orld, By winning from the Hcots the Omaha Panes lay c'alm to the tug-of-war cham pionship of the world. 1'ntll last night the Scots assumed thla honor, and, as nobody came forward to dispute them, It was taken for granted the honor waa theirs. The victory was a cinch for the local crew. At the discharge of the revolver both teama put their full strength on the rope snd this waa the only time the Scots hehl. The Danes couldn't advance an Inch. But a few seconds later Captain Kmll Toldbod of the Danea gave the signal to his sexet of strong men to do a little pulling. Whereupon the Danea proceeded to cop a couple of feet of rope and al most sent the Scot anchor man on his ear. When It was announced ten minutes of valuable time had passed Csptaln Toldbod suddenly remembered he had a date at 10 o'clock, an he told the boya to get It over with. They promptly did so ray b pullinc the Scots lh lfst of the lo the flsg Then the Scots p.iUcd their sllbl and the S.Ojw buga went home. Before the match last night Captain Pete Lech of the German team an nntmeed that the Swedes refused Ms challenge to a match for a aide bet. With out the regular anchor man In the saddle the Swedes put the Oermans en the blink Saturday night and Loch offered te gamble money, marbles or chalk that they couldn't do It with the regular Qer. man anchor man on the rope.

WOMEN URGE CIVIL SERVICE REFORM Bring- Up Embroglio at Norfolk In sane Asylum at Argument ia Iti Favor. CROSS SWORDS OYER PENSIONS The embrogllo at Norfolk Involving Dr. Outtery. superintendent of the Norfolk Insane asylum, waa used as an argument for the adoption of civil service reform at the Woman's club MMnday. Mrs. F. II. Cole, prominent club woman and civil service reform advocate, declared that civil service reform rule would have pre vented the disgraceful proceedings at Norfolk because the rule demands an In vestigation of the moral character and fitness of earn employe. "The trouble la that men get positions In state Institutions because they have a political 'pull.' " added Mra. D. U. Craig head. "Positions In atate Institutions should only be held by those who have given life-study to their work" Deplores fSereraor's Vet. Mrs. Cole deplored the vetoing of the last civil service reform hill by the gov ernor and tha fact that the atate chart ties and corrections committee had not worked to have the law passed. "A civil service law would protect su perintendents ss well as attendants. Nurses with Immoral reputations would never be employed. For humahttarlan reasons, If for no other, because many of the Inmates are In atate Institutions on account of Immoral lives at home, club women should work for thla law," urged Mia. Cole, who ia also chairman of thla department for the Oeneral Federation of Women's clubs, representing several mil lion women, "I am not condemning the Institutions or Individuals, but I am condemning the conditions which permit these things to happen In thla enlightened day," ss scried Mrs. Cole. ( rose Awards l'eln. Mrs. Cole also advocated a pension for federal employes, but thla was attacked in a spirited talk by Mtis. Craighead. "I am opposed to pensions of any sort. We should work for better' wages for work lug men and women so that no pension need be necessary," aald Mra. Craighead. Prof. Henry Olerlch outlined President Wilson's policy of preps redneas for the club women.
