mean that the $4,000 determined on

been raised
There is said to be an increase Of
about 20 per cent. in Foreign Missions.
in which case there will be about
SIS, 900. There is also a gain in Home
Missions. the last State Convention
having determined to raise $4,000.
The totals for this year are expected to
show a material increase over those of
1904 when nearly $40, 900 was raised
for State. Home, and Foreign Mis-
sions. with more money for orphan
age educational and other work.
The church membership has in

ing, while all along the line there is
Improvement IL all the financial af-
fairs. so that religiously and materi-
ally the Baptist will be ready to rejoice

A GREAT PHYsIOLOGIST.
Once Said That the Way to Keep tho
Stomach Healthy is to EX-
crciSc 1t.
But He Did Not Tell How to Make il
Healthy.

The muscles of the body can be de-
veloped by exercise until their strength
has increased manifold, and a proper
amount of training each day Will ac-
Complish this result, but it is some
what doubtful whether you can in
crease the digestive powers of the
stomach by eating indigestible food i'm
order to force it to work.
Nature has furnished us all with
perfect set of organs, and If they are
not abused they will attend to the
business required of them. They need
no abnormal strength.
There is a limit to the weight
man can lift, and there is also a limit
to what the stomach can do.
The cause of dyspepsia, indigestion
and many similar diseases is that the
stomach has been exercised too much
and it is tired or worn out. Not ex-
ercise but rest is what it needs.
TO take something into the stomach
that will relieve it from it's work fol
a short ttime-something to digest the
food-will give it rest and allow it
time to regain it's strength.
The proper aid to the digestive or
gans is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
which cure dyspepsia, indigestion, gas
on the stomach and bowels, heartburn,
palpitation of the heart, and all stom-
ach diseases.
Rest and invigoration is what the
stomach gets when you use Stuart's S
Dyspepsia Tablets, for one grain of the
active principle in them is sufficient
to digest 5000 stains of food.
The Tablets increase the flow of
gastric juice and prevent fermentation,
acidity and sour eructions.
Do not attempt to starve out dys-
pepsia. You need all your strength
The common sense method is to di-
gest the food for the stomach and give
it a rest.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do net
make the cure, but enable the organs
to throw off unhealthy conditions.
Perfect digestion means perfect
health for under these conditions only
do the different organs of the body
work right and receive the building-up
material found in pure blood.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
natural remedy and are a specific for
stomach troubles. The ablest physi
clans prescribe them.
The Tablets are pleasant to the
taste and are composed of fruit and
vegetable extracts, golden seal and
pepsin.
At all drug stores-5O cents per
