 There is nothing so pleasant as that bright, cheerful, at-peace-with -the-world feeling when you sit down to your breakfast. There is nothing so conducive to good re- suits and to good work. The heal thy man with healthy mind and body is a better fellow, a better workman, a better citizen than the man or woman who is handicapped by some disability, however slight. A slight disorder of the stomach will derange your body, your thoughts and your disposition. Get away from the morbidness and the blues. Keep your stomach in tune and both your brain and body will respond. Little indiscretions of overeating can be easily correc- ted and you will be surprised to see how much better man you are.

OBITUARF NOTES
Death of a ChiId-A Very Sad and
 Sudden Bereavement.

It was a sad Christmas to MT. and Mrs. August Philipps, of No. Waverly street, who were called upon to mourn the loss of a loved child scarcely seven years old. The little girl had arisen in her usual good health and had received several tokens of love from her par ents, when it was noticed that she was acting strangely and was apparently violently i'll. A doctor was hastily sum- moned, but the pride of that home was dead when he arrived. The child had been seized with sudden attack of heart failure.
 Little Gertrude Julia Philipps attend ed the Scranton street school and was a bright little pupil. Her associates there will be sadly surprised to learn of her sudden death. She attended Sunday school at the German Lutheran church and was also a scholar at Well come hall. The bereaved parents last evening were inconsolable, and their great grief was hard to witness. Around the neighborhood of her home Gertrude was favorite Bright-eyed and rosy, she was beloved by all who knew her, and her sudden death has
  cast a gloom around the neighborhood, The funeral of the loved one will be held from the residence of her parents tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock and she will be laid at rest in Evergreen cemetery. No doubt delegation of scholars from all three schools will be present to follow their little comrade and playmate to her final resting place.
