VIEWPOINT

For the first time in unknown ages the correspondent mailed yesterdays news without attaching a stamp in the hurry of the last few moments, consequently an apology is due for the late notice of the different churches, etc, as promised earlier. The effort was made however and. we
 shall try again to keep our thinking cap on in the face, of numerous un- expected interferences in the last
 hour. The letter was mailed at least 5 minutes before the closing time but
 in the absence of the postmaster the
 clerk did not dare risk 2 cents or
 otherwise. Hence the delay which did
 not by accident come to notice until
 however is the demonstration of strict adherence to postal rules. If, all are treated the same we cannot complain
 but one wish we certainly do earnest
 lyl wish along with great majority that an early morning mail could be
 sent south.
 Robert Palmer of Boston who has
 been the guest of Dr. and Mrs. F.
 J. Gale has returned home.
 At the Methodist church, Sandy Hook, Mid-week services will be held
 Thursday evening at 7:16.
 Arthur J. Smith showed his public
 spirit Monday morning by sending
 
 street with a snow blow. The kind ness was very much appreciated and commended by all.
 MT. and Mrs I. B. Goodsell have en- tertained Mir. and Mrs. Fred B. Hub
 bell and three children also Mrs. John Stevens.
 The many friends of Michael Dona- hue whose eye was injured last Fri day by the snapping of a twig while
 working in the woods and who is in
 Bridgeport under treatment by pr.
 Miles, will be pleased to learn that
 the patient is comfortably and has a
 fighting chance of the badly injured
 member being saved.

The stomach Welcomes Quick Relief

The Stomach Welcomes Quick Relief A Stuarf's Tablet not only aids di- gestion but it actually does the digest ing itself In other words it furnishes exactly the same elements for the d. gestion of. food as the natural juices of the stomach. The stomach, there fore, is not called upon to do any of the work except to churn the juices furnished by the tablet and then push the digested food along into the intes- tines where 1t will be still further di- gested and the strength taken up by the >blood to be carried to the mus cles and nerves of the body.
 So by taking a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet after meal you give the stomach the rest it needs ins which to mend itself and grow we'll again. And you absolutely prevent the souring of any food, the formation of any poison ous gases, belching, foul breath or constipation.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have done more for humanity and have caused more rejoicing than any other one agency that can be named
 Every druggist everywhere sells and personally recommends Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets. The price is 50 cents per box. If you first wish to try them a sample package will be sent you free if you write to F. A. Stuart Go, 150 Stuart Bldg, Marshall, Mich.
