pered and fear grips the heart. Homes
are forsakeu. People flock to the rail-
roads frantic to escape from the infected
city. But shout warning against dys-
pepsia and who is alarmed? Nobody.
Yet dyspepsia in the diseases to which it
tends, is responsible for more deaths an
nually in the United States than pesti-
lence could probably claim in decade.
THE WEAK SPOT
of the modern man is his stomach. No
man can be stronger than his stomach
because the stomach is in effect the vital
centre of the body. Where does the
heart get its nourishment? From the
stomach. Where is the nourishment
prepared for lungs, liver, kidneys and
other organs? All are nourished from
the stomach. Stop putting food into the
stomach and in time the heart stops beat
ing. We must eat to live. Everybody
knows that. They understand that the
man that isn't fed starves. But what they
don't seem to understand is that starva-
ton is Just as sure when the man is fed,
il by reason of disease the stomach cannot
convert the food it receives into nutri-
ton for the body and its several organs.
The sign of starvation is emaciation,
loss of flesh. That's the sign of dyspep-
STA and weak stomach also. The dys-
peptic eats enough but the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition
fail TO extract the nourishment from the
food and so the body grows lean and the
strength of the body is undermined.
DYSPEPSIA AND DEGENERACY.
There is certain physical degeneracy
which results from dyspepsia. If the
body is not nourished it grows weak,
and as the body is only general name
for the sum of its organs and members,
to speak of the body growing weak
means that the heart is growing weak,
the lungs are growing weak, and that
the liver and kidneys and other organs
are involved in the same "weakness."
When diseases of the stomach and its
allied organs are cured these dependent
weaknesses are cured also.

very obstinate case of dyspepsia" writes

FOES IN AMBUSH.
THE HIDDEN PERILS OF THE
PAST AND PRESENT.

When the Puritan passed through the
forests of New England, he realized that
his greatest danger was from hidden
foes. Therefore, he was armed and
vigilant. The enemies man can see
he can fight, but the enemy that skulks
in darkness unseen, be he ever so weak,
is to be dreaded by reason of his in
visibility.
The foes that threaten the life to-day
are all anbushed. There is no fear of
the NARROW that f1ieth by day." for the
day of the arrow is past and gone. But
the upestilence that walketh in dark
ness" is still thing of terror, because
il strikes suddenly from ambush.

STRENGTH FROM FOOD.
All physical strength must come from
food after it has been received into the
stomach and properly digested and
assimilated. Medicine cannot make
strength. There is only one source of
strength and that is food converted into
nutrition. There are two chief causes
of physical weakness one insufficient
food, the other the inability of the ston1-'
ach and its allied organs to digest and
assimi1ate the food eaten. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is not offered
as a substitute for food, but as medicine
which enables the perfect digestion and
assimilation of food, and so gives the body
the strength which comes from food alone.
When the weak stomach is made
strong again by the use of " Golden Med
ica1 Discovery" the food it receives is
perfectly digested and assimilated, and
the body in all its parts and organs is
restored to strength with the stomach.
The lost flesh is regained and the body
is built up with sound: solid flesh instead
of habby fat.
But as the body is but a name for the
sum of its organs and members, so
strength for the Dody means strength
for each organ of the body, and when
the stomach is made strong, strength IS
given to the ~weak heart, "weak
lungs and other weak organs.
Accept no substitute for Golden Med
ical Discovery" there is no other medi-
cine ujust as good - for the cure of dis
eases of the stomach and other organs of
digestion and nutrition.
PLAIN TALK

CAMPAIGN AT AN END.
Woodmen Literary Bureau on
New Rate Plan Ordered
Abolished.
MEMBERS ARE WE'LL INFORMED
Understand Fully Condition of So
ciety-RevisiOn Generally
Favored.

The current issue of the Modern
Woodman, the official organ of the
society, contains a resolution adopt
ed by the council of administration
at its last session and now made pub
lie for the first time, giving notice of
the abolition of the literary bureau
that was established for the purpose
of disseminating throughout the jur-
isdiction of the order information
connected with the readjustment
proposition.
This will mean the termination of
the connection of Alb Lands, the
actuary who has been at the head of
the department, with the order, and
the discontinuance of the publication
of The Lecturer, the semi-monthly
paper that has circulated among the
camp clerks and field workers for the
past four or five months. The field
lecturers who have been sent out for
the particular purpose of impressing
members with the need of revision
and making them familiar with the
rate committees plan will be re-
called Oct. l, with the exception of n
few who will be kept employed in
visiting camps where their services
are called for.
Instructions Carried Out.
The resolution adopted by the eX-
ecutive council sets forth that the in
structions of the ST. Paul head camp
have been carried out not only to the
letter, but in spirit, and the literary
bureau has been established in order
to familiarize the membership with
| the plan of the rate committee be-
cause it was believed to be the best
manner in which to put the evident
desire of the delegates to the last
head camp in effect. 1t is believed
that the members have now been pro-
vided with sufficient data to enable
them to thoroughly understand the
condition of the order, as well as the
plan that the committee has present
ed as one adequate to meet the So
ciety's needs.
| Sentiment of Membership.
Inquiries have been sent out from
the head office to all the camp clerks
to inquire as to the sentiment of the
membership in regard to the need for
revision and the favor with which
the plan of the committee is met.
From the thousands of replies re-
ceived it is. apparent that a very large
ma iority of the members are agreed
that some form of revision is imper-
ative at the indianapolis head camp,
but with an equally large majority
the rates proposed by the committee
are considered too radical. There
fore it is considered a safe prediction
that the indianapolis head camp will
revise after some plan, although the
rates will not be fixed as high as the
| figures of the actuaries show will be
necessary to insure the perpetuity of
the order.
