UNION SERVICE FOR
 s' THE MALI MISSION
Field Secretary Rev. George T. Berry
 Told of It's Work.

Instead of the usual quarterly meet ing of the Norwich McAll auxiliary, union service E of the Congregational churches was held in the vestry of the Broa dway church on Thursday eve ming, at which Rev. George T. Berry, the field secretary of the American McAIl association, gave an eloquent address upon the work of the mission. The opening devotional exercises were conducted by the pastor. Rev. E. 5. Worcester, who then introduced Rev. MT. Berry. The latter is no stranger to Norwich people, having spoken here before in behalf of the association, an6 there was large attendance rom the several churches. He spoke of the many crises which the ages have wrought in France-as the changes from Paganism to Christianity, the inauguration of feudalism, the rejec- ton of the reformation, the revolution, and the social crisis of today. A con- trast with the growth of Germany in the past forty years shows that Frances physical existince is threat ened. At the same time she is awak- ening to emancipated industrial life and an ideal of democracy and the brotherhood of man. But, she has thrown off the old traditional religion, she has lost her faith in God, with out which no nation can succeed. She must be rejuvenate3 in order to have strength to meet the present demands.
 But it must be religion which meets her deep aspirations of equality and hrotherhcod: if must be ra- Iional demonstration of a real Chris tianity which proves to them the love of God in his care for the welfare of his people.
 This is too great a problem for France by herself to solve. She has asked aid of us. The mission was started in response to an appeal to Dr. MeAH by a Paris workingman 40 years ago. It's methods are not ec clesiastical but such as will make ap- peal to the misguided socialists and free thinkers. It is essentially the peoples mission and aims merely to save the soul Of nation. It has grown from one to fifty halls in Paris and others in the large provincial cit ies and it's 10th anniversary next June is to be celebrated by the comp1etition of a new large central hall in Paris. It does not found churches, but acts as recruiting station for those all ready founded. It wants the co-oper- ation of all Christian people in carry ing the gospel to the poor and ignor ant who know not God.
 The meeting closed with prayer by Rev Dr. Howe and benediction by Rev. MT Worcester

When inc
 Stomach Stops
Working Properly, Because There Is Wind In It, Use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets To Set It Going Again
A Trial Package Free.

The doctors call it fatulency, but unprofessional folks know it as wind on the stomach,'' and a most distress ing state of things it is. It,is a se- rious condition of this great motor organ. Always annoying and painful in the extreme. at times often leading to bad and fatal results. The stom- ach embarrassed and hampered with wind cannot take care of it's food properly and indigestion follows, and thls has train too appalling to enum- crate. The entire system is inplica- ted-made an active or passive factor II. this trouble and life soon becomes a questionable boon.
 All this is explained in doctor books; how undigested food causes gases by fermentation and fomenta- ton in which process some essential fluids are destroyed burnt up-wast- ed by chemical action, followed by de- fective nutrition and the distribution through the alimentary tract of chem 1cally wrong elements and as a con- sequence the stomach and entire sys- tenn is starved. Plenty of food, you see, but spoilt in preparation and worse than worthless.
 A deranged stomach is the epitome Of evil; nothing too bad to eTnanate from it, but the gas it generates is rrobably it's worst primary effect and the only way to do away with this is to remove the cause. Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets go to the root of this trouble. They attack the s-making foods and render them harmless. Flatulency or wind on the stoma ch erful and underwriting little tablets are in evidence.
 They were made for this very pur- pose to attack gas making foods and convert them into proper nutriment.
 This is their province and office. A whole book could be written about them and then not all told that might
 be told with profit to sufferers from l this painful disease. dyspepsia It would mention the years of patient and expensive experiment in effort to arrive at this resuit-of failures in- l numerable and at last success. It would make mention of the different stomach correctives that enter into l this tablet and make it faithfully rep resent all
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not alone intended for the sick, but well 1 folks as well: for the person who craves hearty foods and wants to eat heartily and run no risk of bad effects they act like a charm and make eating and digestion a delight and pleasure They keep the stomach active and en- ergetic and able and willing to do ex tra work without special labor or ef- 1 fort. Don't forget this. Well neopIe are often neglected, but the Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets have them in rnind A free trial package will be sent any one who wants to know just what they are. how they look and taste. be- fore beginning treatment with them After this go to the drug store fo1 them; everywhere, here or at home they are 50 cents a box and by getting them at home you will save time ano postage. Your docter will prescribe them; they say there are 10000 doc tors using them, but when you know what is the matter with yourself why go to the expense of a prescription Stuart Co. 15o Stuart Building, Mar

Cosgrove of Millington gave selections of his ex- periences when a young man in the west, after which he delivered an in structive address on Poultry Raising as Business for a Livelihood. MT.
