Brotherhood OF st. Paul was organized
by Rev. C. B. Graham, pastor OF the
church. who is the state secretary for
West Virginia OF the Brotherhood. This
branch, too. is the first In this state.
The Brotherhood Is q new department
Of work in the interest OF men and boys,
connected with the Methodist Eplsco-
pal church, and follows In some partic-
ulars the Episcopal Brotherhood Of st.
Andrew. which has been such an i'm
portant factor in the auxiliary work OF
that denomination.
The North Street brotherhood starts
of with a large membership. and the
prospects are excellent for numerous
additions. AT last evenings meeting
temporary officers were elected. To-
night another meeting Will be held at
the North Street church, to which all
men and youths desiring membership
are invited TO come.
Secretary Graham says he expects to
organize brotherhoods at all OF the
Wheeling churches and at churches
throughout the state in the near future.

They may not think they have dys-

do not eat enough food. or what they
eat IS not quickly and properly digested
as 70 should be.
Or. Harlandson says the reason is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain dyes

secretion Of gastric juice.
Natures remedy I'm such cases IS 20

There are several good preparations
which will do this. but none go readily
