II people were born right and after
wards lived right, there would be no
use for medicine. Every doctor knows
this. So do other well-informed people.
One thing more. When person lives
wrongly, or acquires bodily weakness by
heredity, medicine can do only very
little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
charlatans claim that medicines will
cure disease. Medicines may palliate
symptoms. Medicines may urge the
powers of Nature to resist disease. Med
icines sometimes arouse the efforts of the
human body to right itself against de-
rangements. This is the most that med
icine can do.

the fire. Instinctively he vets bis

lie knows it very well. But it makes it
feel better for the time being.
People eat unwisely. This produces
dyspepsia or Indigestion. The only
rational cure is to eat correctly. Yet if
palliative is at hand the pains of ind1-
gestion can be mitigated, the throes OF
dyspepsia assuaged. The medicine can
not be said to have cured. 1t simply
palliates disagreeable symptoms. The
cure must come through right living.
Take Peruna, for instance. No one
oiaims Peruna is cure for dyspepsia.
But Peruna will stimulate the stomach
to perform its function properly. Peru
na will increase the flow of digestive
fluids, without which digestion cannot
be carried on at all. twill increase the
relish of food, the appetite.
1t is admitted that all this can be
accomplished by right living, but there
are SO many people who either will not
or do not know how to eat correctly that
tremendous amount of good can be
done by the wise use OF Peruna.
A stomach that has been frequently
abused performs the function of dlGes'
ton very Iazily. Such astomach allows
the food to remain undigested for some
time after it is swallowed. This leads
to fermentation of the food. Sour stom
ach is the result. This goes on week
after week, until the blood is poisoned
with the products of fermentation. Thi;
condition is very apt to produce rheum
atism.
tits not claimed that Peruna Will cure
rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheum
stlsm but correct living. But it l;
claimed that Peruna viii assist badly

"The TOymakerS."

What everyone wants in this day of
strenuous, nervous life is to laugh and
be merry and forget the dull strain of
business cares. This town will turn out
zen masse" at the Armory on Saturday
night, Oct. 80, to see The Toymakers. 1t
is good to think of something new and
fresh in musical way, in this day of
rag time vaudeville, so called and he-e
we have it fresh from the pen of Charles
FELTON, Pidgin, who though chief of the
Massachusetts bureau of statistics, is
about the limit in dry wit and fun of the
most excruciating kind. The whole
thing is just bubbling over with melodies
that make one feel glad to be alive. Mr..
Pidgin won his fame in that unequalled
story OF New England, Quincy Adams
Sawyer, and now it has surpassed it in
this old English story. 1t is a clever,
clean-cut company managed by Charles
F. Atkinson and James Thatcher who
present THE Toymakers." This COM
pany made good in St. Johnsbury two
years ago, and is now better than ever
before.

Are Drugs Necessary?
Do Drugs Cure Disease?
Can Nature be Assisted?

If person would correct his habits,
persist in right eating and temperate
ways, undoubtedly the stomach would
right itself, the blood would rid itself Of
the poison, and everything would be
right. But as said before there are a
multitude of people who will not Dream
not adopt right methods of living. To
such people Peruna is boon. A dose
before meals will assist the stomach to
do its work. This prevents fermenta-
ton of the food, brings about normal
digestion, and all the train of ills that
follow Indigestion disappear.
In other words, Peruna is helpful to
those who live badly, or those who
have acquired some chronic weakness.
Peruna does not cure, but it assists the
powers of Nature to bring about cure.
The whip does not increase the power
of the horse to pull a load, but judi
ciously used it stimulates the horse to
use his powers at the right time, with
out which he could not have pulled the
load.
This illustrates the effect of Peruna,
or any other good remedy upon the sys-
tenn. Taken at the right time, it calls
forth the powers of the human system
to meet the en- roachments of disease,
and thus cuts short, if not entirely ends,
the diseased action.
No one should ever attempt to substi-
tute medicine in the place of right liv-
ing. In the end such an attempt will
prove disaster. But an occasional use
of the right medicine at the right time
is godsend, and no reasonable person
will undertake to deny it.
Those who know how to use Peruna
find it Of untold value. By and by the
world will get wise enough so that
through correct living no medicine at
all will be needed. But that time has
not arrived. In the meantime, while
the world is approaching that perfec-
tior in which all medicine will be elm
mated, Pcruna is handy remedy to
have in the house.
Slight arrangements of tho stomach;
slight catarrhal attacks Of the liver, the
throat, bronchial tubes, lungs or bow
els; these attacks are sure to lead to
grave diseases, and can be averted by
the judicious use Of peruna.
Wouldn't you like to read few I'M

Harmony Band Benefit.
Three Nights of Entertainment Given
Last Week.

The Harmony Band benefited literally
by the three nights entertainment in
Stanley Opera house last week. On Tues
day evening, the Lyndonville Dramatic
company presented Captain Racket"
to a small but appreciative audience. A
vaudeville program and fancy drill by the
Champlain Guards entertained the crowd
Wednesday night. On Thursday night
the program included selections by the
band, drill by the Foresters Guard and
the first basket ball game of the season,
between the Y. M. c. A. and F. c. A.
teams. The former team won by the
score OF 25 to 10, administering the first
defeat in two years to the French boys.
The Y. NJ. c. A. boys got the jump on
their opponents at the start and at the
close of the first period were leading II
to 6, but the Cherry street quintet tight
ened up and kept the lead down to the
original six points during the remainder
of the game. The team work which
characterized the playing of the F. {. A.
last year was noticeably lacking. Both
teams depended upon individual effort,
with the natural result that there were
several rough spots. 1t was thoroughly
enjoyed by the large crowd, however,
and a return date between the same
teams will be a good card. The sum-
mary:

SCIENTIFIC PRAYER

Mankind says God is immutable and
changeless, but hundreds and millions OF
times every day men are beseeching the
immutable and changeless God to
change, change, change; until mankind
conceive of God as the very center and
circumference of eternal change. SO long
as we believe God to be responsible tor
all things, and yet kneel and pray that
He may forget His immutablllty and
take away what we do not want and
give us what we think we do want, IS 1t
not true that if our prayer were sudden
ly granted we would be frightened be-
yond measure? Is it logically possible
for us to have. very much faith in prayer.
so long as we are held in the bondage OF
this belief in a changeabIe God' II we
would take'into our consciousness that
changeless love. that changelesS rellglon
which Jesus the Christ preached, there
would be no doubt. no fear; and we
would go to God in prayer with the

The Ogden standard. [volume] (Ogden City, Utah) 1902-1910, 1909-10-04
HE SIZED UP THE EVENING
STANDARD.

This morning an Ogden business
man brought Saturday evening Salt
Lake paper TO our desk and said
why can't Ogden print paper as
big as this?'
That is easy" was The answer.
You count up the columns Of adver-
Using IN the Salt Lake paper while
I get the Evening Standard and count
up the advertisements"
The Salt Lake paper showed up
more columns of advertising than
reading matter or in other words
over one-half OF the Salt Lake paper
was advertising matter, while the
Saturday evening Standard showed
only seventeen columns OF advertising
out of total OF 13S columns that
made up last Saturday Evenings
Standard.
The Ogden business man pushed his
hand under his hat and said Il never
looked at IL that may before. Why, 3"
he said, the Standard is a bigger pa
per than any Salt Lake paper. accord
ing TO the advertising patronage 1t re-
ceives."
Sure" We said Not only that.
but look again and YOU Will find 30
per cent of the ads In, the Salt Lake
paper is local advertising, while in
the Standard the greater part of the
advertisements come from outside OF
Ogden"
The patronage from Ogden business
men would not keep the Standard run
ming one month The foreign business
of the Standard Is larger than that of
any paper in Utah.
The foreign advertiser places his
goods in Ogden and, II his advertise
ments do not sell the goods. he stops
advertising 1t will be noticed that
the Standards foreign advertisers
have been with us for years. That
simply means that the Standard has
made good
The man who has goods to sell and
offers them at the right time can find
the Standard profitable
It pays to advertise II you know
how TO advertise.

DIVISION OF CONFERENCE
CROWDS.

There were 10000 persons at con-
ference In Salt Lake yesterday of
which number only 10000 could be ac-
commodated in the buildings on Tab
crnacle Square.
This is proof that the Mormon
church has grown beyond the ability
of the church In Salt Lake to care for
the faithful at conference time. and
II makes plain that something must
be done TO establish other conference
points where the spiritual part of the
Mormon religion. as understood and
sought after by the deyout believers.
can be obtained at conference time.
AS It is. a great percentage Of the
Mormon people cannot enter into the
presence of their church leaders, can
not participate In the services. or
hear or see the speakers.
There should be a conference north
of Salt Lake for the Mormon people
who make pilgrimages from Idaho.
Wyoming and northern Utah. and.
likewise, the believers south of Salt
Lake should be afforded a conference
place, where the president of the
church and the apostles could meet
with the people, and VIC have reason
TO believe this will be done before an.
other semi-annual conference.
