Taugh away your cloud Of care
Keen veur sky all smiling fair
Yield YOU never 10 despair
Knowing God is everywhere!
Rid Loves sun forever shire
O'er your path Hopes roses twlne;
Never murmur nor replne-
Heart remember God is thine
PRAY away your cloud Of grief
Turn TO God in calm belief
Yield your Faith--a golden sheaf--
He will hear and send relief
Wipe away life's falling tear:
Fill its fleeing hours with cheer;
Should the future dark appear
Soul-remember God is near
Smooth awav your cloud-Iike frewn--
BY NO earthly i'll cast down.
In Gods smile your sorrow drown
Nav His rainbow d promise crown
All your days, in every place;
That the world His image trace
In your radiant, trusting face
Child-remember His free grace
Chide away your soul-fraught pain
Clouds of gloom shall cleaye in twain
Skies of blue will smile again-

Bid life's shadow come and go

Gained Forty Pounds in Thirty Days

For several months our younger
brother had been troubled with indiges-
ton. He tried several remedies but got
no benefit from them. We purchased
some of Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets and he commenced taking
them. Inside of thirty days he had
gained forty pounds in flesh. He is now
fully recovered. We have a good trade

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.

Also Few Facts on the Same Subject.
We hear much nowadays about
health foods and hygienic living, about
yegetarianism and many other fads
along the same line.
Restaurants may be found In the
larger cities where no meat, pastry or
coffee is served and the food crank is
in his glory, and arguments and the
cries galore advanced to prove that
meat was never intended for human
stomach. and almost make us believe
that our sturdy ancestors who lived
four score wears in robust health on
roast beef pork and mutton must have
been grossly ignorant of the laws Of
health.
Our forefathers had other things to
do than formulate theories about the
food they ate. A warm welcome was
extended to any kind from bacon to
acorns.
A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides to follow in mat
tiers of diet. and a mixed diet of grains,
fruits and meats is undoubtedly the
best.
As compared with grains and vege-
tables. meat furnishes the most nutri-
ment in a highly concentrated form and
is iigested and is assimilated more
quickly than vegetables and grains.
DR.. Julius Remmson On this subject
says: Nervous persons, people run
down in health and of low vitality
should eat meat and plenty of 1t. II the
digestion is too feeble at first 1t may be
easily corrected by the regular use of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal. Two of these excellent tablets
taken after dinner will digest several
thousand grains of meat, eggs or other
animal food in three hours, and no mat
ter how weak the stomach may be, no
trouble will be experienced If regular
practice is made of using Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets because they supply the
pepsin and diastase necessary to per-
feet digestion, and every form of indi-
gestion will be overcome by their use.
That large class Of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and Insure it's
proper digestion by the daily use of
safe, harmless digestive medicine like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets composed of
the natural digestive principles, pepsin,
diastase, fruit acids and salts. which
actually perform the work of digestion.
Cheap cathartic medicines, masquerade
ing under the name Of dyspepsia cures
are useless for indigestion as they have
absolutely no effect upon the actual di-
gestion of food.
Dyspepsia in all its many forms is
simply a failure OF the stomach to d.
gest food and the sensible way to solve
the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to
make daily use at meal time OF a pre-
paration like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, which is endorsed by the medical
profession and known to contain active
digestive principles.

President Shelton Defends His
Statement Relative to Iowa
Rural Schools
CRITICISM HAS BEEN UNJUST
Says the Critics and Newspapers Have
Quoted Only Part Of His Remarks,
Leaving Out That Part Which Quail
ifys the Main STANDARDIZATION
Will Be Of Benefit.
pecial to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
4 Des Moines Jan. 21.-In an interview
here with President Shelton regarding
his statement made at the State
Teachers Association that three
fourths Of the rural schools in Iowa
were worthless, he stated that while he
had been done an injustice, he was will
| ing to have the matter discussed from
any view point If it shall result in any
benefit to the country schools.
What do you think of the way the
newspapers thru the state are cutting
into your remarks before the state
teachers association on the subject OF
rural schools?" he was asked. Il don't
care for it," he replied. II do not com-
plain at all, and am willing that they
shall assail me all they please IL they
will discuss the subject from any point
of view. Better agitation which ruff
fies my feelings and does me an in
justice than the lethargy which has
been responsible for the condition OF
rural schools Of the state.
II believe that if the newspapers and
the people will continue to think of the
subject and say all they feel like say
ing about Shelton 1t may rebound to
the benefit Of the rural schools. And
that is the main thing, after all. The
betterment of the rural schools is the
great problem and the great reform of
are educational world today. AS long
as the people whose children are most
interested care nothing about the ques-
ton, the hope of betterment must be
slight When they wake up, if at first
only to assail me or some other poor
educator who is trying to help along, it
is a sign of hope.
"As a matter of fact, as you news
paper men know, they do me grave
injustice. They stop quoting me at the
point where criticized and say not a
word about the sentiment expressed
showing my great appreciation of the
work that has been done by the rural
school master under the tremendous
advantages which have beset him.
highly complimented the teacher and
the county superintendent and I said
expressly that the deplorable condition
of the rural schools of the state was not
due to the loyal teachers who get hard
ly enough salary to pay their board
and to the county superintendent who
do all that mortal man can do, at $1,000
a year or less.
1T is in shpite of these forces that
the rural schools in Iowa and every
where are not what they should be. It
is simple. If you live in the city your
child has certain extraordinary school
advantages; If you live in the country
your child has not these advantages.
Is there any good reason why the child
in the country should not have equal
advantages with the child in the city?
It is the child we are interested in. I
stand for the child and for the better
ment of the school he attends.

DEATH OF MRS. j. F. MERRY.
Wife Of Illinois Central Official Passes
From SUFFERING.

Dubuque, Jan. 20.--Mrs. Emma j.
Merry. wife of Capt. j. r. Merry, assist
ant general passenger agent of the Illi-
nois Central. died on Sunday. The OBJ
sequies will be held on Tuesday ct the
home. The body will be taken to Man
chester at 2 o'clock on special Illinois
Central train, and interment will be
made in the family lot there. The di-
sease, n cancerous growth, to which the
death of Mrs. Merry is attributed. first
manifested itself some eight years ago
while the family yet resided at Man
chester. An operation was performed
and the growth removed. Until year
ago Mrs. Merry was happily free from
pain, but during the last sixteen months
the growth having REQUIRED, she suf
fered greatly. Whatever hope of cure
was held out by any specialist of re-
puta was seized upon by her and her
solicitous husband, but with no lasting,
and only occasionally with palliative
effect. For some weeks past Mrs. Merry
approached the grave slowly, but with
awful certainty. Death came to her as
relief.

PECULIAR CATTLE DISEASE.
Breaks Out in Union county-Governor
Appealed To,

Creston, Jan. 21.-A very contagious
disease has broken out among the cat
tie Of Union county and large num-
bers are dying every week. It first
made it appearance on the farm of F..
r. Johnson. near Alton, and he lost
eighteen head of cattle in week. It
rapidly spread to his neighbors' stock.
and one man has lost fifteen head and
another eight. head and still another
five head within the past two weeks
Nothing like it was ever known in this
section, and 1t is peculiarly fatal, the
cattle dying in a short time after it
makes its appearance. The farmers
have appealed to the governor to send
the state veterinarian here and try to
stamp out the malady.
