GENERALV CONFERENCE BUSY, Y,r foi Women Pushing .Their Claims Kqual Rights With the LaltyW Other Matters of Importance Up. ' At the roll call of the annual con ferences for the presentation of me morials and petitions, almost each arnual conference presents a me morial asking for equal rights, of lally with the men for the women. It seems that the most delicate matters before the committee on re- visals is the question in regard to granting the women laity rights and the removal of the four-year time limit In the itinerancy system now in use In the Chnrch. Two memorial which are of peculiar Interest are to change the Apostles' Creed and the name of the Church. Saturday's session of the General Conference saw almost a repetition of Friday's cession with petitions asking for women's rights. At the opening of Saturday morning's ses sion the sympathies of the confer ence were extended to the Queen of England, the Royal family, the Methodist Church' of England, the Methodists of England, Ireland and Canada and to the representatives of the conference of England and Can ada who are present at this confer ence, on account of the death of King Edward. One of the most Important mat ters that came before the Saturday session was tbe report of a special commission appointed at the last general conference looking to the consolidation of the Woman's For eign 'and Home Missionary Societies and aU the woman's mission socle ties in connection with the Church into one general board. The report of the committee on boundaries looking to a division of the West Texas Conference Into two confer ences came up and was adopted, thereby adding another conference to the Church, which will be known as the Central Texas Conference Many memorials are being receiv ed as to the settlement of Vander- bilt University, whether it shall be controlled by a board of trustees or come directly under the control of the Church. Practically all - the Protestant churches in Ashevllle gave over their pulpits Sunday to the visiting clergymen. All the bishops filled the pulpits during the morning and evening services. Sunday afternoon a Sunday school rally was held led by Dr. E. B. Chappell, secretary of the Sunday school board of the Church, and Mrs. H. M. Hamill, one of the lead ing Sunday school workers in the Church. Sunday night a memorial service was held in . memory of the deceas ed King of England and a memorial to the Queen mother of England. Short addresses were made by Dr. Simon, of the Wesleyan Conference of England, Dr. W. R. Young, of the Canadian Methodist Church and Bishop Hendrix. The claims of the women seem to be gaining grounds. Taxation with out representation Is their cry In this movement. gModday found the conference much . interested and down " to real work. A resolution to allow the boards of stewards of the local churches to "be elected by the mem bers of the Church Instead of by the quarterly conference as has been the rule was voted down by a vote of 162 against 108. The election of stewards, therefore, stands as was the original rule. ' Mrsf Johnson was the first speak er before tbe committee on revlsals to present the claims of the women, and , was followed by Miss Belle Bennett, president of the woman's board of home missions. While the committee on revlsals were hearing the women, the committee on educa tion wire listening to the disputed points in the VanderbOt University case.;. - A resolution was Introduced to change the formal announcement af ter the mirriage ceremony: "I here by pronounce yon man and wife, NINETEEN GRADUATES.

Statistics Are Alarming From One to Four Million Persons Addicted to the Use of Drugs. Washington, May 2. From 1,- 000,000 to 4,000,000 persons in the United States are addicted to drugs. So states an interesting and valu able pamphlet Just Issued by the Bureau of Chemistry of the United States Department of Agriculture. The pamphlet is entitled "Habit forming Agents; Their Indiscrimin ate Sale and Use a Menace to the Public Welfare." It is written by L. F. Kohler, chief of division of drugs of the bureau. He contends strongly that many babies in their cradles contract drug habits through the administration to them or cer tain so sailed "baby syrups. "soothing syrups," "eolic curbs'" and 'infants' friends." These immensely harmful sooth ers contain opium, morphine, he roin, a dirative of morphine, chloro form or chloral in some combina tion. Mr. Kohler writes: "Mothers believe that the -id soothing remedies are neither harm ful nor habit-forming, and there fore give them with a certain feeling of security, with the result that in Borne instances the baby is put' to sleep never to awake again. Num erous cases of this character are ,on record. "In some instances, in which the remedy is freely used and the child does not succumb, there is develop ed a case of infant drug addiction. As soon as the effects of one dose pass away the child becomes irrita ble and fretful, with the result that another dose Is administered, the craving is met and the child Is qui eted, a condition which is analogous in every respect to drug addiction among adults, bometimes these children look plump and healthy, but as a matter of fact tbelr flesh is soft and flabby and they withstand attacks of Illness very poorly. The writer devotes much atten tion to "soft drinks" and to alleged remedies' for asthma and catarrh which contain cocaine and .such drugs. He adds: "With the exploiting and adver tising of medicines containing habit- forming agents It Is but natural to expect that drug addiction world re sult. It is only surprising that the number of cases is not greater. The reasons for thia probably are. first, that the average Individual Is horri fied to think of becoming a drag addict; second, the secret of many of the habitue dies wRh them; and third, the most compio eases L e., those using cocaine, morphine, and epium, are snorc-jiveo. mow or them y us witwa- tea-.yeaty alter con- tracting the habit..
