DANGER IN SODA.


Ccsstve Use.
Common soda is all right In it's
place and indispensable in the kitchen
and for cooking and washing purposes,
but it was never intended for med
icine, and people who use it as such
will some day regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach,
a habit which thousands of people prac-
tice almost daily, and one which is
fraught with danger; moreover the
soda only gives temporary relief and
in the end the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse.
The soda acts as mechanical irri-
tant to the walls of the stomach and
bowels and cases are on record where
it accumulated in the intestines, caus-
ing death by Inflammation or portion
tits.
DR.. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stom-
ach (acid dyspepsia} an excellent pre-
paration sold by druggists under the
name Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
These tablets are large 20-grain lozen-
ges, very pleasant to taste and contain
the natural acids, peptones and diges-
tive elements essential to good diges-
ton, and when taken after meals they
digest the food perfectly and promptly
before it has time to ferment. sour and
poison the blood and nervous system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases OF stomach arrangements and
finds them a certain cure not only for
sour stomach, but by promptly digest
ing the food they create a healthy ap-
petite, increase flesh and strengthen the
action of the heart and liver. They
are not cathartic, but intended only
for stomach diseases and weakness and
will be found reliable in any stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
All druggists sell Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets at so cents per package.
A little book describing all forms of
stomach weakness and their cure mail
ed free by addressing the Stuart Co., of

A SUDDEN DEATH.

DR.. D. w. Long, of 1886 Belmont street,
died last evening at his home at 6:lo
O'Clock from a stroke of apoplexy.
For some time past he has not been in
the best of health but as he was out and
around on Wednesday, and seemingly in
high spirits, the sad news of his death
was received with general surprise, not
unmingled with regret.
Yesterday afternoon about one o'clock
the doctor complained of a severe pain
in his head, which grew rapidly worse
until it " as found necessary to call the
attention of a physician. Drs. Boone,
West, McClelland and Cooper were sum-
moned and remained with him, doing all
in their power to alleviate his sufferings
until the end came.
DR.. Long was born in Greene county,
Pa, March 18th. 1859 In 1888 he gradu-
ated from the Medical University in New
York City and took up the practice Of
his profession in Pennsylvania, remain
ing but a short time in one place. Leav-
ing Pennsylvania, he came to Ohio and
settled in Waynesburg for time, and
from whence he came to Bellaire in 1891,
and during the same year he was mar
ried to a Miss Stella Martin, of Mounds
vile, and she together with two chill
dren, both girls, survive to mourn his
loss. The deceased was an ardent mem
Der of the First Presbyterian church and
made ready friends of all with whom he
came in contact. After services at the
home at noon tomorrow, in which the
officiating minister will be Rev. H. A. l..
King, the remains will be taken to
MoundsVille for burial.

Spiritual Giving.
"Look Up-Lift Up"

Most forcibly does the League motto
como to mind in the topic for this week.
In whatever trials came to the Apos-
tie Paul in that life crowded with per-
lis and perplexities we find him at all
times looking to Jesus, "the author and
furnisher of his faith" In all weakness
and temptation he gains strength by
looking up to God, Prayer is his con-
slant resource. Communion with God!
Seeking knowledge of Gods will, direc-
ton in doing it and strength of soul for
its accomplishment that is what prayer
means to him.
But all this is only preparation fol-
the service of Others No sooner does he
find light and help and joy than he i'm
parts to others the good tidings. He be-
lieves and asks others to believe. He
encourages them to eat and sets the ex
ample. He lifts them up because hi'
own soul has been lifted.
So every true believer in Jesus Chris
finds courage and strength in fellow
ship with the Master and imparts tC
others the gift he has himself received

A Fish Story With a Moral.

A story with moral, or whose sole rea-
son for being is to carry moral, may not
always be out of place. Here is one, brief
and to the point, which Is good for all lati-
tudes and all times: A young man stood
listlessly watching some anglers on u
bridge. He was poor and detected. At
last approaching a basket filled with whole
some looking fish he sighed: IF l now
had these, l would be happy. / could sell
them at fair price and buy me food and
lodgings"
81 will give you just rs many and just
as good fish, {" said the owner, who CHANGED
to hear his words, "if you will do me u
triiling favor"
and what is thatS" asked the other.
"Only to tend this line till come back.
| wish to go on short GRAND"
The proposal was gladly accepted. The
old man was gone so long that the young
man began to get impatient Meanwhile
the fish snapped greedily at the baited
hook, and the young man lost all his de-
preston in tho excitement of pulling them
in. When the owner returned, he had
caught largo number. Counting out
from them as many as there were in the
basket and presenting them to the young
man, the old fisherman said, 81 fulfill my
promise from the fish you have caught to
teach you whenever you see others earning
what you need to waste no time in foolish
wishing, but cast line for yourself. -
Good housekeeping.

OF the famous collections of antlers
formed in the seventeenth century only
two or three have escaped the general
fate of confagrations, sieges and pill

Welcome Strangers.


Much stress has been laid on the need
of cordiality toward strangers who visit
the house of God. There is need of this.
In times past there has been too much
indifference on the part of church men,
bers to the presence of strangers. In
many places there is no cause for criti-
cism. The League can help much in the
matter. When a young man or woman
goes to strange city, the sense of lone
illness and isolation is one Of the worst
trials experienced. If on attending
church a warm welcome is rendered and
acquaintance are formed, the tempta-
tions to evil are greatly lessened. No
work will pay better than this cordial
greeting of visitors. A kind inquiry as
to home or boarding place, an invitation
to church service, Sunday school and
League meeting will often save waver-
ing soul from wandering away into sin.

a LOST ALASKAN MINE.

Searching For Hidden Millions In the
Drcary yukon Country.
Five million dollars in nuggets and an
inexhRustihle mine of fabulous richness
will be the reward of the prospector who
can find the lost Golden mountain in north
ern Alaska. Such at least Is the report
current among the miners along the Yukon
and its tributaries, says a Sioux City cor
respondent. The story may he myth or
1t may be literally true. No one seems to
know for certainty, and SO many lives
have been lost in the effort to establish its
truth or falsity that Investigators are grow
ing somewhat chary of entering on the
search. Mark Hamilton, Yukon miner
in 1891 and 1899, thus told the legend;
"Away back, before Alaska passed out

the Yukon. The members wanted to learn
