A PEOPLE OF few WORDS.

Let your speech be yea, yea, and nay,
nay" says the Good Book. for whosoever
is more than these cometh of evil" The
Shakers abide by the spirit of this rule
Their words are few. simple, sincere and
direct. They waste no energy in idle talk
they use it in thinking and doing And
whatever they do they do with their might
They are content with nothing short of the
essence and principle of the things they
investigate. They take pains and are
patient And thus the doors of many strange
truths open to them. In this way they dis
covered what may almost be called the unity
of disease. venerable Shaker says of it
1T is said that one mans meat is another
mans poison. That is but half the truth
Any mans meat is any mans poison, under
certain conditions If the grain never got
further than the hopper we should never
have bread and If bread never got further
than the stomach we should never have

1T CAN'T BE DONE.
No One Can Remain Well, No Chronic
Disease Can Be Cured Unless the
Stomach is First Made Strong
and vigorous

Stomach is First Made Strong
and vigorous.
This is plain because every organ in the
body depends on the stomach for its nourish-
ment. Nerve, bone, sinew blood are made
from the food which the stomach converts to
our use.
How useless to treat disease with this, that
and the other remedy and neglect the most
important of all, the stomach.
The earliest symptoms of indigestion are
sour risings, bad taste in the mouth gas in
stomach and bowels, palpitation, all-gone
feeling, faintness, headaches, constipation
later comes loss of flesh, consumption, liver
and heart troubles, kidney diseases nervous
prostraton, all of which are the indirect re-
suit of poor nutrition
Any person suffering from indigestion
should make it practice to take after each
meal one of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, al
lowing it to dissolve in the mouth aud thus
mingle with the saliva and enter the stomach
in the most natural way. These Tablets are
highly recommended by DIR. Jonnison because
they are composed of the natural digestive
acids and fruit essence which assist the
stomach in digesting all wholesome food be-
fore it has time to ferment and sour.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists, full sized packages at 80 cents.
They are also excellent for invalids and
children. A book OH stomach diseases and

WASHINGTON, Dec 1S-The full extent
of the Armenian massacres is Indicated in
report to the state department by United
States Consul Bergholtz, at Erzeroum,
wherein he says;
The number of Armenian children
under 1s years made orphans by the
massacres of 1895 is $4,000, according to
the estimates Of the missionaries. The
question of what shall be done with these
orphans Is receiving the attention of the
Christian world. The American board Of
commissioners is giving the matter serious
thought. 1t has formulated no general
plan of relieS, although the question of
creating orphanages, clothing factories
and industrial institutions Is under con-
sideration.
German charitable or religious societies
are preparing to establish industrial or
phan asylums at Oorpha, Cesaria and
elsewhere, and the Kaiserswerth deacon
ssses of Germany has made provision for
receiving Armenian orphans at Smyrna,
and thirty have been sent there from here.
The British government, or its ambassa-
dor at Constantinople, has initiated a
movement looking towards settling a
number Of widows and their children on
the Island Of Cyprus, more particularly,
