They Cure Stomach Troubles and Indi-
gestion Anyway, Whether You Have
Faith in Them or Not.
of faith has great deal to do in the
cure of disease.
Firm belief and confidence in fam
lily physician or the same confidence
and faith in patent medicine, haye
produced remarkable cures in all
ages
This is especially true in nervous
troubles and no field offers so prolific
a harvest for the quack aDd charlatan,
as the diseases arising from weak or
run down nervous system.
Nevertheless, the most common Of
all diseases, Indigestion and stomach
troubles, which in turn cause nervous
diseases, heart troubles, consumption
and loss of flesh, requires something
besides faith to cure.
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 diges-
tion, they contain the juices, acids
and peptones necessary to the diges
tion and assi.hilation of all whole
some food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will di-
gest food if placed in a jar or bottle
in water heated to SO degrees, and
they will do it much more effectively
when taken into the stomach after
meals, whether you haYe faith that
they will or not.
They invigorate the stomach, make
pure blood and strong nerves, in the
only way that nature can do 10, and
that is, from plenty 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 druggists at 80 cents for full sized

SOME SUNDAY SERMONS.


Rev. ] J. Evans Preached HIS Initial
Sermon y. NJ. c. a. Open Meeting.
The members Of the First Christian
church extended a cordial welcome
to their new pastor. Rev. j. j. Evans.
Sunday morning when that gentle
man preached his initial sermon in
this city.
Rev. and Mrs. Evans arrived in the
city on the Sunday morning overland
from Salinas, California. Rey. Evans
is young man, about thirty years Of
age and has very pleasing appear
ance. He is a ready and fluent
speaker.
The text Of the sermon, which was
peculiarly appropriate to the beginning
of the year and the relations that had
just been assumed between pastor and
people. was taken from l Samuel, 10,
26: "There went with Saul an host
whose hearts God had touched"
1t is only after we have acquired
thorough knowledge of God that we
understand Him. Nature on every
hand tells of God and it is only
through the bible we learn of the love,
sympathy and friendship of God. The
Ammonites of today will understand
the power Of God as they shall see it
manifested in the lives of Christians.
With God-touched hearts we can
understand the call of God and ansNe er
it. Victory will come and the An-
moaites of sin and unrighteousness
must fall.
The speaker expressed a desire that
as pastor and people, that the light OF
love might shine through their hearts
and indicate to the world an associa-
tiun with God and that they might
re dedicate their lives to the service
of God and victory would rest upon
their labors.
The sacrament of the Lords supper
was administered at the close of the
sermon.
The open meeting at the Y. Nj. G.
A. Sunday afternoon was largely at
tended, the gymnasium aud gallery
both being filled. After some gospel
songs had been rendered. Prof. Carl
Denton, accompanied on the piano by
Miss Gertrude Denton, executed a viO-
lin solo in masterful way. The
beautiful duet "Raise Me Jesus to
Thy Bosom" was as beautifully sung
by the Misses Southwick with sweet
Luke Lynn's well-trained |
voice was heard in "Flee as a Bird to
Yon Mountain" in which he displayed |
marked talent as vocalist,
Rev. w. c. Kantner delivered an
and practical address,
hasing his remarks on a portion of
James 4, IA: "For What Is Your
Life ?"
A great many men have an errone-
)us conception of this life. This life
Is mystery, Everything about us is
4 mystery. We can understand and
solve much of the mystery of this life

NAMES WINTER CROP.

Bangor. Me-, Jan. 24.-All indications
point TO one OF the best and largest crops
OF ice ever harvested on the Penobscot
river, although the expense OF harvest
ing Will be greater than usual. There
have been frequent snowstorms since
the freeze came. and the cost OF scraping
the fields has been greater than for scme
years. One fall Of snow had scarcely
been cleared away before another had
arrived, SO that large crews have been
almost constantly at work. Several times
within week the fields have been
scraped, and now the storm of Saturday
night and Sunday has piled the ice deeper
than ever. Men and horses were set at
work Sunday forenoon scraping. but the
snow drifted so fast that work was
stopped at noon.
When the harvest begins there viii be
about 1900 men at work. The wages
range from 80 cents to 81 .25 day for men
and $3.50 day for a man and pair Of
horses. 1t is estimated that ii will cost
$4,000 TO harvest the crop.
