Imperfect Digestion Causes Bad Com

ish, II you keep you stomach in good
condition.
This was the advice of a prominent
physician to a woman's club in Boston
and IT IS good advice.
Belching of gas. heaviness, sour taste
IN mouth, dizziness, biliousness and
nausea occur simply because the stom-
ach is not properly digesting the food.
The blood needs nourishment to carry
vigor, vim and vitality to every part Of
the body and when food ferments in
the stomach enough nourishment is not
supplied.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets give instant
relief to upset stomachs. but they do
more; they put strength into the stom-
ach and build it up so that it can easily
digest a hearty meal without giving its
owner hours of misery.
Mi-o-na is sold by druggists everv-
where and by Goolrick's Pharmacy at
90 cents large box. 1t is guaranteed
to cure Indigestion or any stomach dis

SUNDAY SCHOOL INSTITUTE
DIR. Watts Concludes His Lectures Here

Dr. Watts Concludes His Lectures Here
As was expected. the Sunday School
institute, which was held at the Bap-
tlst church, increased in interest and
the attendance was almost double on
tuesday what IL was on Monday. IL
was estimated that 200 were in attend
ance Tuesday night.
Ii was very pretty sight at the
luncheon to see the S s. workers from
all denominations seated together
around the table and mingling in cor
dial fellowship and exchanging their
IDEAS as TO their common work.
After DIR. Watts had concluded his
lectures. Mr.. Williams, the pastor Of
the church, called for any who desired
TO say any words expressive of appre-
ciaton and there were very cordial and
beautiful responses from Rev. Jno.
K. Jacobs, of the Methodist church:
Mr.. Jno. 5. Berry, of Trinity Episcopal
church; Prof. Rankin. OF the Presbyte-
rlan church; Mr.. b. z. Willis. of the
Baptist church; also Mr. NJ. G.. Willis.
Jr., spoke very kindly as TO the good
the institute had done those who were
neither officers or teachers, but belong
ed simply to the student body.
After dismissal almost everyone came
up and shook the hand of DR.. Watts.
bidding him GOdspeed as he went TO
Staunton 10 undertake a similar work
in that city.
The lectures for Tuesday covered the
problem of how to prepare lessons and
the fundamental principles Of the teach
ing art, also short discussion Of the
value of organized adult classes and
the method to be pursued i'm grading "A
sunday School. There were times in
ms lecture at night when the lecturer
was very eloquent. His picture of how
sunday School teacher in Chicago
c2ptivated her class of bootblacks was
beautiful, and his treatment Of the Re
view Lesson problem was splendid.
1t is hard to see how any teacher
who attended this institute will be con-
tent to be anything but the very best
which she is able 20 become.
One of the very valuable things in
connection with the institute was that
while DIR. Watts continually set forth
only the highest ideal for "A Sunday
school and was never afraid 10 present
new ideas and fresh plans for work. at
the same time he always reminded the
people that no Sunday School under the
sun was able TO take the place of the
training which every child ought to
receive in the home; the teacher could
never supplant the mother and if the
home didn't lay the basis for the school
the work could never be done.
1t was refreshing to see how this
eloquent young lecturer came back 20
the great fundamentals upon which all
Christian work must rest.
DR.. Watts left on the ll:3l train
Tuesday night for Staunton. Va. where
he conducts an institute for Sunday
School workers. He promises TO re-
turn some date in the future and bring
win HIM full faculty, who will con-
duct an institute for a week and so
cover every phase of Sunday School
