Tired nerves, with that "no ambit- ion" feeling that is commonly felt in spring or early summer, can be easily and quickly altered by taking what is known to druggists everywhere as Dr ShCop's Restorative. One will. abso- lutely note a changed feeling within AS hours after beginning to take the Re- storative. The bowels get sluggish in the winter-time. the circulation often slows up, the Kidneys are inactive, and even the Heart in many cases grows decidedly weaker. Dr Shoop's Restor- ative is recognized everywhere as a genuine tonic to these vital organ. It builds up and strengthens the worn-out weakened nerves; it sharpens the fail ing appetite, and universally aids di- gestion. It always quickly brings re- newed strength, life, vigor, and am- bition. Try it and be convinced. Sold by all dealers.

REV MARION L. BURTON
CALLED TO THE CHURCH OF THE PILGRIMS IN BROOKLYN.

.Rev Marion l.. Burton we'll known in Newtown, and beloved in Brooktield.
 where he made great success as the
 pastor of the Congregational church,
 has accepted a call to the Church of the
 Pilgrims in Brooklyn, and will enter
 upon his work in September. The
 Church of the Pilgrims is situated on
 the Heights in Brooklyn and is the old
 est Congregational church in that city
 and is also one of the largest, its mem
 bership being above thousand. It's
 pulpit was made famous through the
 preaching of the gifted Richard Salter
 Storrs, D. D., who was long its pastor
 and was one of the greatest preachers
 and orators of his day. Dr Storrs was
 succeeded in the pastorate by Dr Harry
 P. Dewey who served as pastor eight
 years and resigned to accept the pas
 torate of the Plymouth church, Minne-
 apolis. Since the departure of Dr
 Dewey the Church of the Pilgrims has been looking for the right man as his
 successor, and the committee Of the church finally settled upon Professor Burton assbeing the man. In response to. their invitation Professor Burton preached at the church two or three Sundays and the unanimous call of the church is the result. It is understood that the salary voted by the church is considerably more than double what MT Burton gets from his profesorship. Professor Burton graduated from Carle- ton college in the class of 1900. While
 in college he made reputation as an
 athlete and as a student and upon
 graduation he became principal of Windom institute, Minnesota, which position he held three years resigning to come to Yale for professional study. He entered the Yale Divinity school in 1903 and that year was member of the University debating team that de- feated Harvard in Woolsey hall on the subject fo '"rrade Unionism. While in the seminary Mir Burton made one of the most brilliant records as stu dent in the history of the school, win ming his degree of Doctor of Philoso- phy summa cum laude in 1907. His thesis submitted at this time has been selected by the university committee | for publication and will shortly make its appearance in book form. Dr Bur- ton was appointed to the chair made vacant by the death of the late Prof George B. Stevens which was held be- fore him by President Dwight. This most important char in the Divinity school was never entrusted before to so young professor, but the confidence reposed in Professor Burton's ability to fill the position has been more than justified and his resignation will be a severe loss to that institution. While he was student in the Divinity school Mir Burton made such successful re-
