DECIDEDLY SHAKY.

A trembling hand, an uncertain STEP
fdgetiness, indicated by restless shifting
from one place or posture to another, usually
mental annoyance at unexpected noises, are
among the indications of extreme nervous
ness. These seem trifiing. but the health Of
men and women in this condition is
''decidedly shakey," liable to be overtnrown
disastrously by causes which the vigrous
might defy. To fortify the nervous system,
general vigor must, through the medium OF
reinforced digestion and renewal of an
impaired power of sleeping at night. be
raised to healthful standard. 4 guarantee
of this is HosIetter's Stomach Bitters, which
re-cstablishes digestion, bile secretion, and
the habit of body on permanently regular
basis, thus renewing the bodily equilibrium,
which is followed by gain of strength aud
nerve tranquility. For kidney complaint,
rheumatism, neuralgia, and as a preventive
of the first attack or subsequent return OF
malarial disorders, this medicine is without
peer. Thrice daily take wineglassful.

What is IN
committee appointed at Lewiston last
December by the commission representing
live denominations in the state explain 1t
a. follows
Many towns Ia The state are without re
ligiou- privileges II l. reported that out
OF 575 towns aud organized plantations
ll9 have no Sunday school, prayer meet
ing or preaching service; l3u are without
Protestant service. and 10 without church
editice Of any kind la other places
church though existing, are practically
dead.
This state of affairs j. largely due to
wa-teful methods. Denominational inter
est> have been allowed TO determine thu
planting of churches rather than the need
OF the field entered The result Is that in
some cases two. three or even four
churches have existed where one would
have been sufficient, Under such cond-
tons men and money have been used with,
out returns in keeping with the outlay.
1t seems possible to remedy this, To
spread the Gospel is the chief thing. A
clear understanding of this will enable the
different denominations To work together
so as TO lose nothing in effectiveness where
churches already exist and yet leave re-
sources for new undertakings.
Iuterdenominational comfy is the prac-
tical effort u realize this. Five denon-
nations, Baptist, Christian, Congregations
al. Free Baptist and Methodist, have
united In forming a commission Ito pro-
mote, a its constitution states, ''co-oper-

pected to study the needs In the State, adj

dery school, as was ever held in any
town. The teacher spoke In high terms
of it, and said it was the best school he
ever taught.
The concert and dance, March 8, was
success in every respect. 1t was arranged
by the ladies', assisted by the East Edding-
