ton of Southern Baptists concluded its

ure the membership of Baptist
churches in the Southern Baptist con
vention and their cooperation at the
annual convention.
It was finally resolved to thank the
Baltimore ministers for their generous
offer and to refer the whole matter to
a special committee to report at next
years convention.
w. G. Tyree, Of North Carolina, was
made vice president of the foreign mis-
sionary board and w. T.. Derileaux, re-
cording secretary.

If people only knew what we know
about Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, it would
be used in nearly every household, as
there are few people who do not suffer
from a feeling Of fullness after eating,
