To the Editor: The smoke and din of battle at Dayton, Tcnn., hav ing floated away and Profeiwor Scopes having been proved guilty and fined, what have we found and what next? Evolution waa of course not disproved by the ver dict. If the young teacher had been sustained by It evolution would not have been proved a true science. It would elill have re mained but an -hypothesis. No court decision could have .icttled H either way. What will- be the outcome of this unusual legal episode? Tho evolutionists wilt not of course be silenced. Nor should they be. They will still go on mak ing tho usual unproved and un provable state-merits about the or igin and development of life, and how we got here and how we have become what we are through pro cesses many of them obwne and Improbable. The fundamentalists w II consld er that they have scored a great victory. It appears to this 'writer they havo only seen a state law vindicated but nothing settled n? MRS.

Some among them will probably engage- In a campaign to aeculurlze religion, to legalize It by civil statutes, which should be strongly resisted by all who cherish our heritage of civil and religious liberty. B, West Salem, July 24. 64 X a St Paul. Minn. "I was all run down from overwork and worry, had no appcuto, couiu not sleep at night, and looked like a corpse. I have six children (five boys and one girl) and did not pet any strength after my last baby was born. I was get ting worse and thinner everyday. The doctor said I had to ifo to the hospital, but this I could not do on account of my family. So I went to ft friend of mine and told her what the doctor had told me and she said, 'Now do as I tell you. Try Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound as I have done. It helped me.' bo I started tak ing the Vegetable Compound and 1 no ticed after the first few bottles that I felt considerably better. After takine 9 or 10 bottles f got over my fainting spells. Kverybody who sees me now notices the great improvement in my health. I am gaining in weight and strength and am feeling fine. Lat well and sleep good nights. Mrs. Mary Minnesota, To tho Editor: There ha been much discussion pro and con re garding evolution until some so called Christians are becoming be fuddled. People do not realize that It 1a not merely a question of tho be ginning of time, but of the condi tion of man ever since. Dr. Mayo believes that both men and mon keys came up by evolution from a common brute origin. Why not all monkeys then? or why not all men? why has man's brain devel oped and his sense of right and wrong, or why any senso or right or wrong. If we all are decend endents from the same brute then there Is no law but tho lnw of the jungle. The survival of the fittest what right has a more brute to tell mo what I shall or shall not do. Nothing ever just wae then If there is a Creator able to make a jelly fish or a brtite, he was also able to make man and there is nothing moro beautiful than the story of creation as told In Genesis. Tho writer believes that no one who fecta burning lovo for the Lord Christ In their heart will be bothered with evolution, for like one of old they can say "I know whom I have believed." Thero are many religions but SEVERE CASE OF ITCHYJCZEMA Broke Out in Rash and Affected Limbs and Face. Cuticura Healed.
