CHURCH ATHLETICS.
Permanent Organization Made Last
Night for Athletic Contests.

The amateur athletes of the city
met last night at Towards electric
store and elected officers and made
plans for the coming year. The fol-
lowing officers were elected: Presi-
dent, H. B. Howard; committee on
constitution-Guy Stoves, Harold Tas-
ker and Frank Gebhart. The organi-
cation is at present temporary one
and next Wednesday evening another
meeting will be held at the Central
Y. NJ. c. A. to form more perfect
organization.
For the last few years the churches
of the city have conducted a base
ball league. A week ago a field meet
was carried out and the result was
such a surprise to the most hopeful
supporters that a regular city organ
ization was suggested and carried out
last night. The plans are to have in
door sports all winter and when good
weather opens up continue their base
ball and field sports. Football teams
will be organized this fall and basket
ball teams have been chosen.
The ministers of the city are greatly
interested in the work and Rev.
Charles NJ. Sheldon of the Central
Congregational church has promised a
gymnasium for the bows in the near
future Those who will meet with
the boys at the Y NJ c. A next We'd
nesday and who will make speeches in
favor of the proposition are: Rev.

Bad Stomach
Poor Health
Good Health Depends Upon Healthy
Stomach and Bowels.

If the stomach fails to properly di-
gest the food eaten the body must be-
come sick and weak. for it is through
the strength given by the food that
the body is made strong and healthy
If the stomach does its work properly
and the bowels refuse to eliminate the
waste matter from the body, the body
will become weak and i'll through the
effect of the poisons that go into the
blood from the clogged waste matter
in the bowels.
Something that aids digestion is not
sufficient to build up a weak stomach
and something that quickly physics the
weak bowels will not give them
strength to perform their task In nat
ural manner. A medicine that will re-
lieve the sour stomach, restore natural
digestion, eliminate the waste from the
bowels without pain or grippe and give
them strength to perform their func-
tions in a natural manner is what is
needed, and we know of none so good
as DIR. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin.
Rev. A ]. Fletcher, Rutherford,
Tenn. at the age of so years writes that
he suffered for many years from stom-
ach trouble and found no relief until
he used Dr. CaldwelTs Syrup Pepsin-

An Invention Which Does Away
With Telegraph Operators.
Engineer in Direct Communities
ton With Train Dispatcher.
SANTA FE TRIES 1T.
In Successful Operation on Is
Miles of Road.
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Is Investigating.

Washington, Sept. ia train
stopping device, which it is claimed,
will practically eliminate the tele-
graph operator as a factor in the
movement of railroad trains, is now
under investigation by the block sig
nal and train control board of the in
terstate commerce commission. The
system is an invention of P. ]. Sim
men of Los Angeles, Cal. 1t already
has been installed on IS miles of the
Santa Fe railway in Southern Califor-
MIA and is said to be in successful OPP
Grafton.
BY the working of the system each
trains records on sheet in the traindis-
patcher's office the exact time it en-
ters and the time it leaves a block.
The train dispatcher can signal di-
rect to any engineer on his division
either to stop or to proceed: Intel
ligible communication is maintained
between the dispatcher and the en-
g1neerS in their cabs. The dispatcher
is protected against human error by
the automatic interlocking of the
switchboard by which he signals to
trains. He can stop any or all trains
on his division, but he cannot give a
signal to proceed unless the block
ahead is clear. The engineer also is
protected against error by the use of
an automatic stop. He is given a dan
ger signal either by the train dis
patcher or by the presence of a train,
open switch, or a broken rail in the
block ahead. This danger signal is
given the engineer about a half mile
before he enters a block. If, on re-
ceiving the signal he should fail to re-
duce his speed to less than five mills
an hour, or any predetermined safe
rate of speech in the next 1000 feet
Travelled, his train is automatically
stopped.
The engineer can prevent the auto
matte stop from operating only by
reducing his speed to the pre-deter-
mined safe rate.
A recording device on the locomo-
tive makes a record of the time and
place where a danger signal is given;
of the time of the signal clear; how
quickly the engineer responds to the
danger signal and of the rate the
train is running at any time; and of
the time and place the engineer per-
mits the automatic stop to operate
Members of the block signal and
train control board who have inquired
into the system say that it operates
with almost human intelligence. The
board expects shortly to institute an
official test of the device in order to
determine definitely it's efficiency.

Common Sense
And A Tablet
Do Away With Dyspepsia, Stom-
ach Trouble and Make
Meals a Pleasure.

When your stomach goes on a
strike and mass meetings of indigna-
ton are held all over your body then
it is that you should sit up and take
notice.
1t is clearly and only a question of
common sense-is this thing called
Dyspepsia. Take away. by abuse, over
eating. excuses and high living. the
things which the stomach needs and
you have dyspepsia and indigestion:
then other maladieS follow these-this
is common sense.
The stomach is willing enough but
you won't let it do its work You
take away the materials which are so
necessary for it to use.
Give back these materials and dys-
pepsia and indignation flee and the
whole machinery of man begins slowly
to move and do its work
What the stomach needs is nerve
force, fluids for its digestive glands.
nourishment and power. All these
necessities it takes from the blood. If
dyspepsia gives nothing to the blood.
the blood gives nothing to the stom-
ach.
This is common sense also, pure.
simple and unallowed.

essences which go into the stomach,

Garden City, Kan. Sept. 16.-The

sugar than in years. The general man
ager of the United States Sugar &

analysis shows an average of IL per
cent of sugar contents. When it is
realized that the crop is only three

of the dry season. is all the more i'm
