stomach Frequently be doesn't even know whether the thing he eats is going to agree with him or not The things that please his palate most are often the worst for him to eat Even the simplest food is likely to cause him misery and sleepless- ness. Ills first trouble was very slight very simple--very easy to cure. He ate something indigestible and it stuck some place III his digestive system. He ate more things and they stuck. Part of his diges- ton stopped altogether-that IS constipa- tion.
 Constipation is so common that more than half the people in America are troub- led with 1t. 1t IS so serious that nine tenths of the sickness of the world Is traceable directly to this common cause. A mans health and strength depend upon what lie gets out of his food. This depends on his digestion. Constipation stops diges- tion Anybody can see that. The com- honest kind of common sense will tell you that When digestion stops, nutrition stops, and the whole body is thrown out of order
 The way to start digestion is to remove the obstruction The way to do that Is to take Dr. Pierees Pleasant Pellets They are positive cure for constipation and its attendant ills = headaches, sour ston- ach, fatulence dizziness, biliousness and heartburn. y They are very gentle Ill their action They simply assist nature.

4 HELLENIG ST. GEORGE.
 The Graeco- Turkish war-cloud now gathering above Crete should be hailed with universal acclaim for the sole reason that its menace has brought to the worlds notice in the highest of historic lights an ideal Defender of the Faith, a very flower of adventurous kighthood, Prince of Romance.
 George of Greece, later type of the older St. George of England, stands face to face with his Dragon, the foul and unspeakable Turk. He shakes the standard of the Cross in defiance toward the nodding horse tails of the Crescent, and a worship ing and heroic people are rallied around him where he stands. Young. handsome, a marvel of phys ical strength, described as in stature towering above any other of royal blood in Europe, 1t has been long since figure of such medieval simplicity and force was possible in European affairs. The applause of world wearied with the prosaic dullness of modernity is emphat- ically demanded by the spectacle.
 Already has this champion won laurels of the kind dearest to your true hero. With a blow of hls mighty fist that would have delight sed the soul of the Plantagenet

State Secretary Francis w. Reid re-
ported the accession of 169 new societies
in the past twelve months, and was rather
severe on the corresponding secretaries of
the various societies over the State, and
also upon the societies for not furnishing
postage stamps to the secretaries. He
then said:

brothe er who says:

The vast audience arose as one. The
speaker lifting the United States flag con-
tinued, 'And may these stars never be
dlsgraced by our National Congress meet
ing upon this day."
President Guy w. Cam pbell told of the
progress OF the work of the organization
for The past year. and said that they were
making lost efficient advance in the Sab
bath observance, and would not stop until
they had law passed by the Legislature
calling for strict observance of the day.
He was proud to hear through the secre-
tary that there were $1,000 mem bers of
the order in the State, and he made the
announcement that not less than 40 per

present at the great convention.

THE SERVICES
AT WOODWARD'S
Interesting Speeches and a
Review of the
Work.
Miss Cora B. Bickford Makes
Strong Appeal to
Mothers.

Woodward's Pavilion could have held
twice as many people as were present at
the services yesterday morning. Early
prayers and late evening services for
several consecutive days evidently had
much to do with the com paratively slim
at enhance.
TAey were all new voices that addressed
the gathering, and what they had to say
was told in an entertaining style. The
symposium by State presidents on how
to interest the pastors and the churches in
the organization of junior and intermedi-
ate societies, and the practical suggestions
from the trustees and secretary of the
united society, were the features of the
session.
The meeting was under the chairman
ship OF Rev. Ralph W. Brokaw of Spring
field, Mass, and the musical portion of
the programme was under the direction
OF E. Meredith of Oakland. The usual
ten-minute praise service was followed by
devotional exercises. conducted by Rev.
William c. Clark of Keelers Bay. VT.
For the first time during the sessions at
WUodWard's lady took the rostrum YES
terday. Miss Cora B. Bickford of Bidde-
ford, Me-, had for her subject, THE
Mother Society of Christian Endavor."
The most important portions OF her ad-
dress follow:
A young professor was irving to explain to
q little girl the process by which lobster
changes its she'll. Finding it rather difficult
task the learned man fl ally said: 'My DEAR
what does your mamma do when you have
outgrewn your frock? She gets you new one,
doesn't she?" "Oh, no." replied the little
miss with considerable esprit, "she just lets
down the tucks" Christian Endeavor is much
like the little girls frock. 1t is long enough TO
meet the individual needs of all humanity, of
the young, the middle aged and the old We
have only 10 let down the tucks, and it covers
the work with the juniors, Intermediates,
seniors and mothers.
What is the Mothers Society? Just what its
name indicates-a society of mothers pledged
TO the nobiest endeavor in Chrlsts name. Its
object is, first TO stimulate mothers to raise
the standard of the Christian home. 1t could
not have higher aim, for the home is the
greatest institution in this land to-day and
out of it are the issues OF life, civic, social,
physical.
Tne home is the greatest ot the world in
stitutions and the mother is the most potent
influence in the institution. She possesses a
quiet power, for the Ike of which kings would
glsdlv sell their birthright; power of which
she ofttimes little dreams.
Mothers, does IL never come to you with
overwhelming reality the thought that your
work is the training of human souls?
And, secondly, the object of the Mothers

There also has been the reviewing ground
for pageants of various kinds, and thou
sands have gathered to do honor to civic
and military bands.
Yesterday, however the broad thor
oughfare W rs filled with people met fol
an entirely different purpose-for the
worship of Almighty God and to do hom-
age 10 the great Republic of this Western
world
Never before in our history has there
been gathering similar to that which,
from Turk street to Grove, filled the ave-
nue. with a sea of happy faces under the
futtering banners of purple and gold.
In front Of the platforms. which were
erected at intervals along the streets,
hundreds of voices alternately joined in
cheering the country's flag or in echoing
heartfelt amen in honor of God.
As speaker after speaker rose to address
she Assem- blage he was greeted with the
plaudits of hundreds, who encored every
thing in this happy blending of patriotic
sentiment and the worship of Almighty
God.
Truly, it was glorious success, reach
ing far beyond the utmost expectations OF
these noble Cristian men and women who
so thoughtfully planned it.
Stand No. 3. which was in charge of
Secretary John Willis Baer OF Bos on,
was located between Golden Gate and
Locust avenues.
The meeting was opened with the sing
ing of patriotic anthems under the di-
rection of o. NJ .@Vesper of Oak and.
The first speaker WAS the Rev. Robert
Johnston Of London, Ontario, who, al
though subject OF Great Britain, aroused
q patriotic sentiment in the hearts of all
and discoursed eloquently on the friendly
feeling existing between Great Britain
and America and hoped for continuance
OF the same.
He was followed by Rev. George F.
Pen ecost, DID,. of Yonkers, n. Y, and
E. L. Rowell, DID,, of Louisville, KY,
whose able address and apt illustra tions
held the audien ce spellbound.
Treasurer William Shaw of Boston
presided at stand No. 4, between Turk
street and Elm avenue. The music was
ably managed by Robert Husband of this
City.
The speakers, who were Rev. J. C. R.
Ewing of Lahore. India; Rev. Cortland
Myers of Brooklyn, n. Y, and the Rev.
B. B. Tyler. ID. all spoke in the easy,
graceful style and with the same rich,
boyish enthusiasm which has character
ized the Endeavorers in their stay with us.
Stand /, which was located between
Grove and Fulton streets, was presided
over by Father Francis T.. Clark, DID,, OF
Boston. The musical programme was
rendered under the di-ec ion of Charles
E. Day of Los Angeles. Father Clark in
pertunctory way, announced that the
outdoor meetings were being held for the
purpose of paying the respects of the con
ven ntion to our country, our flag and our
people. And in keeping with the order OF
business it was his pleasure to introduce
the speakers on the stand, which he did
by introducing the following in their
order: Rev. Matt s. Hughes, DID,. OF
Minneapolis; Bishop b. w. Arnett, ID.
OF Wilberforce, Ohio, and the Rev. Silas
Mead, LID, OF Adelaide, South Aus

THE STATE
CONVENTION
The Body Elects New Officers
for the Year.
Interesting Reports and Evidences
Shown of Healthful
Growth.

Father Clark, in bringing the greeting
of the International Union of Christian
Endeavor to the California State conven-
tion, expressed the opinion that never be-
fore was there -sucn State convention
held, and felicitated both the visitors and
the State delegates upon the fact that both
conventions were held during the same
week and attributed much of the success
of both gatherings to the presence of the
other.
When it is known that there are IS, 900
mem bers of the organization in Callior-
ma and that 40 per cent of the mem ber-
ship has been egistered at the Pavilion it
can re adiiy be understood that California
is pretty well in evidence in San Fran
cisco this week, and when it is further re-
mem bered that the meeting at Mechan-
ics' Pavilion last night was the annual
State M Getting it will be no surprise when
it is said that 10. 600 people attended the
State convention and participated in the
exercises.
1t was a regular California gathering.
The vast audience was warm, much more
so than any gathering in the same hall
during the past week, and there was no
lack of either applause or greeting OF
speakers, even though DR.. Webster took it
upon himself to scold the mem bers for
their coldness in greeting the speakers,
and took the Caliiornians severely to task
for their lack of enthusiasm.
For an hour before the opening OF the
convention the audience sang the various
songs which have been heard all over the
City for the past five days. and then they
settled down to steady business, and for
three hours they listened to reports and
speeches with an interest that is rarely
seen in conventions.
The greatest pitch OF enthusiasm was
reached when letter was read announc-
ing the fact that the Senate of the United
States was to mold Sunday meeting for
the purpose OF considering the tariff
question, and e rising protest was called
for. The delegates were emphatic in
going on record against the desecration of
the Sabbath, and q telegram wss sent to
Washington 6enouncing the action of the
Senate and calling upon it to forego the
intention.
The report OF the secretary brought out
greatest applause when he told of the
wonderful progress made In advanc cling the
work of getting Christian Sabbath in
the State, and when it was announced
that the banner had been gained for
greatest progress in Sabbath observance
the assemblage simply went wild for min
ute or two.
There were from 10, 900 to 1000 people
present, and, of course. California claim d
