MISERY IN STOMACH.
And Indigestion vanisheS In five Min
uteS and You Feel Fine.

Why not start now-today, and
forever rid yourself of stomach
trouble and indigestion? A dieted
stomach gets the blues and grumbles
Give it a good eat, then take Pape's
Diapepsin to start the digestive
juices working. There will be no
dyspepsia or belching Of gas or
eructations of undigested food; no
feeling like lump of lead in the
stomach or heartburn, sick headache
and dizziness, and your food will
not ferment and poison your breath
with nauSeous odOrs.
Pape's Diapepsin costs only SO
cents for large case at any drug
store here, and will relieve the most
obstinate case of indigestion and up
set stomach in five minutes.
There is nothing else better to
take gas from stomach and cleanse
the stomach and intestines, and be-
sides one triangule will digest and
prepare for assimilation into the
blood all your food the same as a
sound, healthy stomach would do it.
When Diapepsin works, your
stomach rests-gets itself in order,
cleans up-and then you feel like
eating when you come to the table,
and what you eat will do you good.
Absolute relief from all stomach
misery is waiting for you as soon as
you decide to begin taking Diapep
sin. Tell your druggist that you
want Pape's Diapepsin, because yor
want to be thoroughly cured of in
digestion. 23-4t.

a means by which to build the church

which Jesus laid down his life?
"The rigidity with which denomi-

Il have heard one old brother

he had nothing to be thankful for

way you have probably 5000 Method
lists and four or five self-supporting
Methodist churches. What is the
meaning of this kind of missionary"
work in those countries? The mis-
sionary society Of the M. E. church
is either acting on the assumption
that the Christian people of Norway,
Sweden and Denmark are not Chris

be Methodists.
The Gazette can only touch few
of the high spots of this excellent
discourse, one Of them being a warn

Sin continues to blight innocence,

Miss Virginia looked quickly at her

HAS our great M. E. church

in rebuilding of the.organic church
towit, the extension of the kingdom
Of God in the invisible church? The
Word says that the kingdom of God
