Why ORINo is different.

ORINo Laxative Fruit syrup is the only
preparation that really acts upon all
of the digestive organs. Other prepar-
atoms act upon the lower bowel only and
do not touch the Liver. 1t can very read

Stimulation Without Irritation

ORNo Laxative Fruit Syrup is new
laxative syrup combined with the deli
cious flavor of fruits, and is very pleas
ant to take. 1t will not gripe or sicken.
1t is much more pleasant and effective
than Pills. Tablets and Saline Waters,
as it does not derange the Stomach, or
irritate the Kidneys, Liver or Bowels.
Constipation.
ORrNo Laxative Fruit Syrup will posi-
lively cure chronic constipation as it re-
stores the natural action of the intestinal
tract. Ordinary cathartics may give tenn
porary relief but the stomach is upset
and the bowels are irritated without any
permanent benefit having been derived.

Cures Chronic Constipation, Stomach Liver Trouble

The condition of the patient remains un-
changed. The Stomach, Liver and Bowels
have not been stimulated and in a few
days stronger purgative may have to be
taken. This is why Pills and Aperient
Waters never give permanent relief
Their violent action results in an unnat-
ural movement of the bowels and it isnec-
essary to keep taking them indefinitely.

When the New Scalp Antiseptic is
Used.

A good head of hair is as much a
''crown of glory" for man as it Is
for woman, notwithstanding all the
poetry on the subject applied to the
female sex exclusively. In the sea-

tians who were so sorely plagued on
account Of the children of Israel.
Why not try Newbro's Herpicide?
Others have ben benefited and are
loud in its praise. IL cleanses the

Accuses Preacher, in Whose Home
Wife Entered, of Alternating Her
Affections.

Salem, Mass, May 30.-As the Sc
quail to trial divorce" agreement,
into which he entered with his wife
some months ago, the Rev. DR..
Charles II. Puffer, pastor of the First
Universalist church, has been sued
for $25 1000 by E. A. Empy, of Corn
wall, Ont. who charges the minister
with alternating his wife's affections.
Shortly after DR.. Puffer and his
wife decided upon their trial d.
vorce" experiment Mrs. Empy be-
came the minister's housekeeper. She
continued in that capacity until a
few weeks ago, when her husband
came to the conclusion that things
were not as they should be at the
parsonage.
Man Leader in Church Work.
DR.. Puffer has been conspicuous in
church, society and secret society
circles since he came to Salem, near
ly fourteen years ago. His domestic
troubles were first made public two
years ago and reached their climax
four months ago, when the pastor
and his wife, by mutual consent,
agreed to live apart for three years.
It was agreed in writing by DR.. and
Mrs. Puffer at the time of their sep
aration that no legal move would be
made for divorce by either from the
other until after the three years
trial separation.
Wife a Leader in Club Work.
Mrs. Puffer, who for some years
had been a lecturer on literary and
social subjects before women's clubs
and lyceum organizations, has been
living with friends in Brooklyn since
the separation. The only. child of
the couple lives with his grandpar-
ents.
DR.. Puffer asserts that his rela-
tions with Mrs. Empy have been
strictly proper and his interest in her
merely that of friend. Nothing is
known about the allegations to be
submitted in court by Mr. Empy.

 The practical impossibility of such a

 is this profession of faith? Generally speaking it is a declaration of what

It mat ters little that a formal creed is 9 compendious expression of all ones beliefs, positive, clear cut and dog ! matlc, it is always profession of faith and if the dogmatic assertions it contains are true it must of neces- slty be a cast-iron creed. If the pro- fession that there is a God, creator ot Heaven and earth in whom I believe is true, it is cast-iron truth and will always be true. Sneering at cast-iron creeds seems much like sneering at Christ, Himself, who would have onC church, whose earnest prayer was they all should be one in Him as He and the Father are one, not merel, by a mystic union of goodness, bene violence, etc, but by a unity of doc Urine, since truth is indivisible and not self-contradictory. Sneering at cast-iron creeds Is rather going tians, St Paul, who would have, not even from an angel from heaven, a gospel other than that which he preached. It is this contempt for cast iron creeds that has brought about the chaotic divisions that we see among christians.
 A church such as Dr Parker would have it, whilst, perhaps, absolutely possible, is, however, morally impos- sible. The attempt was made few years ago in Canada and perished aborning. Christ seemed to realize the moral impossibility for He pre- dicted that there be heresies and schisms.
