FAITH CURE a GOOD THING
In Some Diseases, But It Is Failure
in Stomach Troubles.

Mere faith will not digest your food
for you, will not give you an appetite,
will not increase your flesh and
strengthen your nerves and heart, but
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do these
things because they are composed of
the elements of digestion, they contain
the juices, acids and peptones necessary
to the digestion and assimilation of all
wholesome food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
food if placed in a jar or bottle in wa
ter heated to SO degrees, and they viii
do it much more effectively when taken
into the stomach after meals. whether
you have faith that they viii or not.
They invigorate the stomach, make
pure blood and strong nerves is the
only way that nature can do ftand that
is, from plenty of wholesome food we'll
digested. 1t is not what we eat, but
what we digest that does US good
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by nearly all druggists at so cents for
full sized package, or by mail from the
Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich.

EIliSOn'S Lecture.

The lecture delivered in the Town Hall
by Judge Alfred Ellison of Indiana, last
Wednesday evening was one of the most
brilliant addresses ever given to Rising
Sun audience. The Judges subject was
kings and Queens, or Earth's True
Royalty" and he handled the titled snobs
of Europe i'll a manner which Invested
them of the halo of name worship and
showed them up in their true light. He
showed that earth's true royalty was to
be found right here in America and most
often in the humble walks of life. Ellison
marvellous faculty for painting beautiful
word pictures is said to approach that OF
Ingersoll, who, by the way, was held up
to bitterest scorn by the lecturer. In adj
dition to his ability as lecturer Judge
Ellison is poet of considerable note and
wove number of very beautiful verses of
his own composition into his address.
The fast falling snow, together with the
lack of inclination on the part of many
in this neighborhood, TO listen to first
class lecture talent, caused number of
vacant seats.
Music moves where words fail, and
tickets are already being taken for the
Cecilia Musical Club entertainment on

The Blizzard.

The cold blizzard which reached
the Atlantic coast ON Sunday sent
the mercury down to 6 above zero
on Monday morning with a fierce
northwest wind all day. The
sudden change was very trying
and caused people to hug the coal
stove. In the west the thermome-
ter fell as low as 40 below zero in
some places, and the drop in tenn
perature was very sudden, accom-
panied with heavy SHOWS which
blocked the railroads. Thousands
of cattle it was believed would
perish on the ranges. In the mean
time people in the cities found
thousands of families without fire
or food and on the eve of perish
ing from hunger and coal. Chicago
alone had 10000 families on the
eve of starvation. The churches
were thrown open for shelter for
the perishing thousands. Hun
dreds of tons ofcoal were distributed,
soup kitchens were opened, old
clothes depots established and the
wealthy people called on to give of
their abundance to save the perish
ing. Pittsburg had 5000 of those
on the eve of perishing from cold
and hunger.
