THE TOWN OF DELTA.
Hsformon" Elders Kindly Received
In the Colorado Mission,

Elder Charles f. Hulet writes from
Ridgway, Colo Dec. 81;
In connection with Elder W. ]. Gurr
I have for the past two months been
laboring In the West Colorado confer
ence of the Colorado mission, and have
found the inhabitants Of Delta county
20 be an intelligent and highly cultured
class OF people, their educational priv
ileges being the very best
ghe town of Delta, situated $40 miles
southwest from Denver, on the a. X.
G.. railway at the iunoture OF the Gun
nison and Uncompahgre river, Is a
beautiful little village OF thousand in
habitants, lying as II does In the midst
of rich productive bottom land. II Is
on the western slope OF the first range
of the great Rockies, and Is completely
surrounded and protected by high
mesas and mountain ranges, 80 that
no severe storms ever reach her.
While laborlng In this county we
have received the best Of treatment. We
have, of course, had some opposition TO
contend with.
Especially do | wish TO commend TO
you the kindness OF Mr., II. r. Page and
family formerly OF Utah) who during
the three weeks Of my companions Ill
ness, at Paonla, from which he has
not yet recovered). cared for him az
well as a person away from home could
be cared for. The Kettle families Of
Ridgway and Cory also deserve much
credit for their kindness, for they are
doing all In their power for the Elders.
There seems TO he more or less fear
Of the Mormon" Elders existing among
the salarled ministers of the day b..
cause Of the comprehensiveness truth
fulness and simplicity Of the doctrines
which we advocate, and the ministers
seldom attack us unless they are old in
years and experience, and know that
trey are opposing an Elder who Is their
junior In years and In the ministry.

HOW TO DRINK MILK
why it Disagrees With some People.

When one needs a revlylng stimulant
after exhaustion nothing can rival the
effects Of hot milk slipped slowly
Some people say they cannot digest
milk and these are the people VINO
drink II down quickly so that the dlges-
tive acids, IN playing around Il, form
large curds which give trouble belore
they can be absorbed
The right way Is to sip the milk In
small amounts, so that each mouthtul
as Ii descends into the stomach, Is sur
rounded By the gastric fluid, and when
the whole glassful is down the effect Is
that Of q spongy mass OF curds. IN and
out of which the keen gastric juices
course, speedily doing their work OF
turning the cufd into peptones that the
tissues can take up.
To make sure OF complete digestion
take one or two Of Suart's Dyspepsia
Tablets afterwards, as the pepsin and
dlastase they contain increase the
quantity and efficiency Of the gastric
juices and supply the natural digestive
ferments which all weak stomaches
lack
Miss Anna Folger, a professional
nurse, speaking of the value Of Stuarts
Tablets in conyalescence says: In adult
patients recovering from severe Illness
and especially In children where milk
disagrees, one or two tablets overcome
any difficulty and seem TO strengthen
the stomach In a remarkably short
time, ] myself have used them daily
for years. when my own digestion has
suffered from the Irregularities and loss
OF sleep consequent upon my occupa-
ton.
Not only children and invallds but
professional people and others whose
meals are necessarily hurried or irreg-
ular win find Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
let's Of the greatest value in keeping
up the tone and digestive yigor Of the
stomach"
They contain the active digestive fer
ments the lack Of which is really the
only cause Of indigestion and stomach
troubles, and the regular daily use OF
them after meals will probably cure
any case Of stomach trouble except
such as arises from cancer or ulcera-
ton.
Many druggists have said that they
sell more Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
than all other stomach remedies COM
blned.
