Or any other local man, five miles on
the turf for any side bets of any size
The races We're walked from one end

PARSONS ON EVOLUTION.
Mason City Pastor Addresses Search

Mason City Pastor Addresses Search
light Club Tuesday Night.
Rev. Francis Waylanti Parsons, Phi.
| D., formerly pastor of the First Bap-
| fist church of this city, now of Mason
City addressed the Searchlight Club
at the Railroad Y. M. c. A rooms
Tuesday night DR.. Parsons was greet
ed by a good-sized audience, a repre-
sentative attendance of the club gather
ings. and delivered a strong and most
interesting address on "The Facts and
Fancies of Evolution DIR. Parsons
received the closest attention of his
audience thruout the evening.
DR.. Parsons said in part: "'The first
fact to which I wish to call your at
tention is that evolution is the great
est, as well as the most sublime in
vention Of modern times Nothing that
man has done in the realm of thought,
no invention or discovery that he has
made, has so enlarged his kingdom, so
increased his vision, so elevated and
exalted his mind, and SO glorified his
God as the development Of the theory
of evolution as means whereby we
can see natures progress, read the
thoughts that are written in the light
Of the SUN and stars and dull glow of
rocks, and pictured in the grass and
flowers of the field and the bloom and
foliage of the forest"
DR.. Parsons related a few incidents
of the disbelief of good Christian peo-
pie in the theories of evolution, and
said that the second fact he wanted
to bring out was that God has given
us two great books. Nature and the
Bible, and there are students of both
these books. "To the students of both
let all honor be given" he said. He
quoted Darwin, Huxley, Drummond,
Fiske and others, and drew from
earth's story illustrations, and the
final appearance of life.
1.-The work of ages had no apex, he
continued, 'but the work begun by Ma
ture is finished by a higher Nature.
And, as the veil is lifted by Christian
ity. # strikes men dumb with wonder,
for the goal Of evolution is Jesus
Christ The Christian life is the only
one that will ever be completed Apart
from Christ the life of man is a broken
pillar; the race of men an unfinished
pyramid. One by one. in sight of
eternity, all human ideals fall short;
one by one before the open grave all
human hopes dissolve All shall go?
No; one remains. And when Christ
who is our life shall appear, then shall
We appear with him in glory
DR.. Parsons visit to the city was the
signal for a warm reception on the part
of his many friends in the audience,
who were glad not only to hear him
speak. but to grasp his hand in a 4
friendly greeting

STOMACH ON THE BRAIN.
What if Man Gain the Whole World,
and Lose His Appetite?

and Lose His Appetite!
The man With WELL behaved stom-
ach never thinks about it. He eats
what he likes and likes what he eats.
He knows ne will enjoy it, because
he knows he has a stomach that will
easily digest it. All things look good
to him: he will sit close to the table,
and with a merry twinkle in his eye
and world-peace expression, he will
start on the delicious meal before
him.
But the man with the bad, brashy.
gurgly stomach is the man who is al
ways thinking about it. He can seldom
eat what he likes, and seldom likes
what he eats. His stomach worries
him before meals, after meals and be-
tween meals. 1t is on his brain. 1t
robs him OF his cheer and interferas
with his daily work. Around him is a
dark spirit which presses itself for
ward in his thoughts, crying: Il am
agony, I am disgust, / am nausea.
am sickness. languor worry, am con-
ceived in quick lunches and pappy
food and nourished by gulpy meals. l
rob brains of their force and bodies
Of their life. / steal away nerve and
vim. I bring heart disease and apo
plexy. make the world a pit of wear
mess and darkness. l am woe. l am
death. am dyspepsia. But yet, |
bring also hope, light and future
health, because by my gloomy presence
give you warning and a chance to es-
cape me-"
This is a bad dream, but it is the
daily dream of the dyspeptic. If it were
not for the white we couldn't tell the
black If it were not for dyspepsia, we
couldn't know the joy, the happiness
Of fwell-ordered digestion. All the
world looks bright to man of good
health, and good health is impossible
without a good hardy stomach. And
any sick or weak stomach can be made
q good, strong one by just taking
something which will digest your food
for you, instead of letting your tired
stomach do it. Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the most effective little
tablets in the world for this very thing.
II you feel bloated after eating, or you
have nausea. aversion to food, brash,
Irritation, sour stomach, heartburn or
dyspepsia, sStuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
will stop it because one grain of an In
gredient of these tablets will digest
5000 grains of food.
Your stomach is overworked. Let it
take rest. You're not yourself when
you have bad stomach These tab
let's will do the work that the stomach
has to do and make you feel bright,
think clearly and give ambition and
power to concentrate your attention
on your work. You'll feel good. You
should always have box of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets on your dining
table,. They will make you get all the
good possible out of everything you
eat, and you'll enjoy it.
