PRETTY SAFE RULE TO 90 By.

When there is a feeling that the
heart or lungs. blood or liver, brain or
nerves are diseased. at once com
mence to doctor the stomach. That
is the foundation of the trouble in
80 cases out Of every 100. Commence
to regulate the digestive organs, get
them in healthy working condition,
and the other troubles will leave of
themselves. Diseases which have
their beginning in the stomach must
be cured through the stomach. The
medicine for stomach disorders and
half the ills of life is DR.. Gums
Improved Liver Pills. These pills
put all the digestive organs in good
condition SO that disease has no basis
to work upon. They are sold by all

An unusual item appears in the

 Those fortunate enough to hear Dr. Riddicks scholarly discourse must have been enabled to form from 1t higher ideals of grace of person, grace of mind, and particularly grace of spirit than they pos sessed before. Dr. Riddick's usual con else, emphatic style was in no way modi- fled by the youth of his special hearers and was for that reason the more i'm pressive.
 The music for the day was in the hands of the more advanced voice pupils of the seminary, with Miss Non Merkestyn as director and soloist and Miss Belle Me- Coy at the organ The solo, Show Me Thy Ways, Oh Lord" was effectively rendered by Miss Won Merkestyn. Miss Johnnie Baton and Miss Sadie Beaird sang a duet. The quaftette and chorus Charity was beautifully sung.

The seventh annual commencement of the Birmingham seminary has begun most auspiciousy. Friday evening, May 20, was the occasion of the graduation in music of Miss Carol Wilson of St. Stephens, Ala; Misses Nelle Harris and Berney Wornock of Birmingham, in ex- precision. The young ladies all acquitted themselves with credit to themselves, and their Alma Mater.
 Sunday morning last at the First Meth odist church Dr. c. B. Riddick preached the baccalureate sermon of the semi nary. The usual large congregation, aug mented by the three hundred white robed students of the seminary filled the im- mense edifice to overfiowing, while mum bers of the customary attendants and friends of the pupils were turned away, unable to find seats.
