RidicuIe, However. liz Not Argument,

Stomach troubles are so common and in
many cases so obstinate to cure that peoDla
are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy
claiming to be radical, permanent cure for
dyspepsia and indigestion Many such pride
themselves on their acuteness in never be-

This fear of being humbugged may be
carried too far; so far in fact. that many
persons suffer for years with weak digestion
rather than risk little time and money in
faithfully testing the claims of prepara-

Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly
different in one important respect from ordi-
nary proprietary medicines for the reason
that they are not secret patent medicine,

IL the front wheel balances as 1t should. II
ii is property adjusted and the bearings are
in good shape when lifted from the ground
the weight of the valve stem should cause
the wheel to oscllate several times before
coming to a stop. The rear wheel is not
nearly so sensitive as the front one, on ac-
count of the friction exerted by the chain
and crank shaft, and the best way to test for
trouble there Is to turn the wheel on Its
back. Then start the wheel revolving In the
direction II runs when in use.
If the lower side of the chain says and the
Upper part Is taut 1t shows that the front
sprocket and cranks are pulling the wheel
than the former; II the upper part sags and
the lower remains taut the reverse is the
case and shows the trouble to be in the crank
bearings, and they must be further examined
for bad cones, cups or balls, or for poor adj
Justment,
To see If the sprockets are in line with each
other take a piece of string and stretch 1t
from the outside rim of one sprocket to the
outside OF the other. If they are perfectly
true the string should touch the inside of
both rims at any point of their circumference
To test the frame tie a string to one of the
back stay rods about six inches above the
hub OF the rear wheel. Then carry the string
around the steering head and back to the
stay rod on the opposite side, at exactly the

besides acquiring more mechanical knowl-
edge than he previously possessed. Several
things may contribute to make wheel push
hard, the bearings of the wheels or crank
shaft may be dirty and gummy; the sprock-
cts may be out OF line, caused by the large
one being bent in an accident or by a
twisted frame; the chain may not be clean,
or the adjusting cones of some bearing may
have worked tight.

"PA's PRAYERS" ."-One hard winter,
when sickness came to the poorly paid
pastor of a certain New England
church, his flock determined to meet
at his house and offer prayers for the
speedy recovery of the sick ones, and
for material blessings upon the pastors
family. While one of the descons was
offering a fervent prayer for blessings
upon the pastors household, there was
a loud knock at the door. When the
door was opened, stout farmer-boy
was seen.
"What do want, boy ?" asked one Of
the elders.
"I've brought pas prayers" replied
the boy.
drought pas prayers? Why, what
do you mean"
"Yep, brought his prayers, an they
are out in the wagon. Just help me,
an We'll get 'em in"
Investigation disclosed the fact that
"pa's prayers" consisted of potatoes,
-four, bacon, cornmeal, turnips, apples,
warm clothing, and lot of jellies for
the sick ones. The prayermeeting ad'
journed in short order.
