Cause for Alarm,
Loss os Appetite or Distress
After Eating Symptoms
that Should Not be
Disregarded

Appetite is Just a natural desire
of the system for food necessary to
replace natural body waste. Loss
of appetite or stomach distress
after eating indicates indigestion OF
dyspepsia. Over-eating is a habit
very dangerous to persons good
general health, and Unsuitable APP
petite is a common symptom of
diabetes.
1t is not what you eat but what
you digest and assimilate that does
you good. Some of the strongest.
heaviest and healthiest persons a.
moderate eaters.
There is nothing that will create
sickness or cause more trouble than
q disordered stomach, and many
people daily contract serious mala-
dies simply through disregard or
abuse of the stomach.
We urge every one suffering
from any stomach arrangement,
indigestion or dyspepsia, whether
acute or chronic, to try Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets, with the dis
tinct understanding that we will
refund their money without qucs-
tion or formality, if after reason
able use of this medicine they are
not satisfied with the results. We
recommend them to our customers
every day. and have yet to hear of
any one who has not been benefited
by them
We honestly believe Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets to be without equal.
They are made from the pre-
scription of physician who de-
voted his time to the study and
treatment OF stomach troubles.
They give very prompt relief, stim-
ulating the secretion of gastric
juices, strengthen the digestive
organs, all to good digestion and
assimilation, regulate the bowels,
and promote nutrition.
we urge you to try 25-cent
box of RcXall Dyspepsia Tablets,
which give Is days treatment. At
the end of that time your money
will be returned to you if you are
not satisfied. OF course, in chronic
cases length of treatment varies.
For such cases we have two larger
sizes, which sell for so cents and

l have never united myself to any
church, because have found difficulty
in giving my assent without mental
reservation to the long complicated
statements of Christian doctrine which
characterize their articles of belief
and confessions of faith. Whenever
any church will inscribe over its altar
as its sole qualification for member
ship the Saviour's condensed statement
of the substance of both law and gos-
pei, Thou shalt love the Lord thy

A NATURAL WONDER.
The DEVILS Race Course In the Blue
RIDGE Mountains

hidge mountains.
''The Blue Ridge mountains abound
in natural wonders" observed an cid
resident of Penmar. Most wonderful
of them all, in my opinion, is the Dev-
il's Race Course, which is but short
walk from Penmar.
"At first view this strange natural
phenomenon appears like broad
roadway Of great stones which eX-
tends away up the mountain in path
no human hand could ever build.
Many of these great stones weigh
tons, while others are only II few hnn-
dredweight. Lying close together by
the thousand, they present an eXtraor-
dinary spectacle.
Tradition has it and scientists agree
that q thousand or more years ago
this strange track was the bed of an
ancient river. The conclusion is drawn
from the looks of the stones. They
are all well rounded and worn smooth,
showing the action of water. which
had polished their rough edges no
doubt for centuries.
But the mystery is If this theory be
true to explain how the great body of
water was confined at the sides, FOR
the course is not hemmed in Iy high
banks, nor is it located in n ravine.
In fact. it stands somewhat higher
than the natural side of the mountain.
The puzzle only intensifies interest in
the queer place and multiplies the ar
guments and theories of its prehistoric
origin. Baltimore American

SAYS FRANCE WARS
ON CHRISTIANITY
He thinks Present Attitude To-
wards Schools indicative of
Effort to Undermine the Ba-
sis of Religion.

ROME, Nov. lS.-Pope Plus, in an
address to the French pilgrims. whom
he received today. declared that
France was ma&1nS war against the
church with an aim of undermining
the basis of Christianity.
Catholicism. he declared, was sur
tering persecution by the French gov
eminent under the pretext of the sep
aration of state and church. This was
proved. he said, by the expulsion OF
the orders, the trial and condemna-
tons inflicted upon CARDINAL Andrieu,
and other bishops and the threatened
laws which would extend oficial pro-
lection TO irrengiods teachers and
bring about a state monopoly Of the
schools. France, when wouId make
the state the arbfter in religious mat
tiers, was at the same time lighting
the French bishops who were faithful
to the pOntin.
BISHOPS BEING PROSECUTED.
These bishops were not allowed, the
pope said, to enjoy the liberty granted
by French laws to ali free citizens,
tried and condemned for the sole rea-
son that they were courageously full
filling their apostolic duty. All this.
the pope said. instead Of depressing
must animate Catholics to defend
their religious rights. He concluded
by urging the faithful TO cling TO the
epIscopacy.
The papaI words are accepted here
as confirmation OF the opinion that the
Vatican believes the struggle organized
by the French government on the
school question IL intended to be a
decisive battle for the complete efface-
ment OF Christianity as a factor In the
rearing of children, or IN other words,
tho suppression of Christianity in the
France of tomorrow. II Is asserted
that the Vatican is ready to night OF
two questions, namely, the denial or
legal acknowledgement of the Catholic
hierarchy and scholastic instruction.
