from many personal testimonials that
the vast majority of ministers of all
protestant denominations have pri-
vately repudiated the "hell-fire" the
DRY, but have for supposedly good rea-
sons hesitated to fully inform their
congregations; and, further, we be-
lieve, on this account thousands and
perhaps tens of thousands are being
driven into skepticism or infidelity;
therefore, ii is further
Resolved: That we appeal to every
minister in the United States, to pub
lish in his local newspaper, over his
own signature. a statement declaring
whether or not he believes the Bible
tc teach the doctrine of a literal lake
of fire and birthstone as a place,
state or condition for the eternal pun
ishment of the wicked, and that every
editor Of a newspaper in the United
States be requested to invite the min
listers of his constituency to avail
themselves of his columns for their
statements. We believe that in this
one act. they can just now serve their
readers better than in any other way;
and be it further
Resolved That the secretary of this
convention be instructed and author
ized to mail a printed copy of this
resolution to every minister and edi-
tor in the United States.
After a general and full discussion,
the matter was put to a vote, and un-
animously adopted by the association.

) SUMMER FOODS OFTEN
CAUSE DYSPEPSIA.
Their Effect on the Digestive
Organs Responsible for Many
of the Seasons Ills.

Summer should be the period of
perfect health. but impure water and
milk, unripe fruit, and the tendency
to indulge in acid foods and iced
drinks, produces a contrary condition
in many people.
The effect of the average summer
diet is to constipate even normally
regular bowels, and this results in
disarranging the entire digestive sys-
tenn. When the bowels are choked
with the stomach's refuse. indiges-
ton is almost sure to follow. and the
waste matter that should pass out
through the bowels, not finding pas
sage, ferments in the stomach and the
poisons are forced into the blood
causing much distress and often Sc
rious illness.
To keep the bowels free, there is
no more effective remedy than DR..
Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin. This is
pleasant-tasting bowel stimulant and
laxative tonic that is very gentle in
its action, bringing relief in an easy.
natural manner, and without discom.
fort. a spoonful of Syrup Pepsin
will quickly check summer diarrhoea
by cleansing the bowels and remov-
ing the foreign matter that irritates
and inflames the tissue. 1t is sold in
drug stores for fifty cents a bottle: a
large family size. considerable more
than twice the quantity, costs a dol
lar. If YOU have never used Syrup
Pepsin and would like a free trial bot

Bull Moose Definitions.

The Rev. William J. Long, the Con-
necticut minister, who was thrust into
the nature fakirs' class by Theodore
Roosevelt some few years ago has
been digging in some of Author
Roosevelt's hooks to discover Row
Hunter Roosevelt was impressed by
the Bull Moose when he made that
animals habitat his own.
In view of the fact that Candidate
Roosevelt has taken the name Bull
Moose as the label of his new party,
Just what Mr.. Roosevelt thinks of the
bull moose is interesting. Even if the
comparison is painful-and MI.
Roosevelt will undoubtedly declare it
"odious"-it must stand, for the col
onels own remarks should certainly
be the final word.
In THE Wilderness Hunter" Mr..
Roosevelt writes:
THE bull moose lives on the public
domain and is a very wasteful feeder
He is of a wandering and fiighty
disposition. His flesh, moreover, is
coarse and stringy; his hide is thick
He frequently shows a clumsy
slowness of apprehension which
amounts to downright stupidity.
Another noticeable characteristic
of the bull moose is his inOrdinate and
Interchangeable selfshness. Whether
roaming the woods in solitude or tear
ing up the earth, or coming headlong
to the call, he is thinking first, last
and all the time of the safety of his
own skin and fullness of his own
stomach.
Further indications of the bulls
essential selfshness are found in lis
frequent abuse and brOwbeating OF all
other moose that are smaller than
himself He cannot tolerate a rival,
but flies into a Jealous rage at the mst
suggestion that there is any other
bull moose in the universe"

tions Of the chief of the herd after
all. are they?-Ithica CN. " Weekly

YELLOW JACKETS RESPONSIBLE
FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON
BLAZE IN HILLS WEST
OF DALLAS.
GUN SHOT STARTS HOT BLAZE
Walter l.. ToOze Is Loser When 49,
Year Old Boy Fires Shot Into Nest
of yellow Jackets; Volunteer Fight
ers From Dallas and Falls City
Help NeighbOrs.

Oak Dale, Aug. 15.-(Regular Cor
respondence) e)-Firing a charge of shot
into a yellow jackets nest on the
ranch of Walter l.. Tooze, of Salem
Tuesday afternoon, Vernon Murphy
the thirteen-year old son of Joe Muir
ply started a fire in the dry timber
which destroyed about IT'S cords of
wood belonging to Mr.. Tooze and
brought to the scene a large fire
fighting force from Dallas and Falls
City.
OF course the starting of the fire
was entirely unintentional on the part
of the boy who had been hunting
and stopped where several men were
loading wood. For the sport of the
thing young Murphy fired into a big
nest of yellow jackets near by. The
discharge set the nest on fire but was
soon etXinguished, or such was the
belief But smouldering sparks were
overlooked, and suddenly the dry
brush blazed up again and before
anything could be done was beyond
control, famed by a strong north
wind.
Telephone Brings Help.
Telephone alarms sent to Dallas
and Falls City brought autos loaded
with volunteer fire fighters who, as
sisted by the neighbors, worked un-
til seven o'clock when the fire was
found to be under control not, how
ever, until a large section of the cord
wood had been reduced to ashes.
Among the men from Falls City was
Will Ellis who made the trip in rapid
time bringing with him load of will
ing fire fighters, Floyd Ellis and
Arian Myers being among the party
who came with him. Walter L.
Tooze, Jr., of Dallas, also brought
an auto load and some of his party
remained all night keeping close
watch of the smouldering sparks to
prevent the further spread of the
fire.
The Tooze ranch is better known
as the "Yoakum place" and was orig
inally owned by Uncle" Morris Jones,
a well-known pioneer who died sew
eral years ago at Dallas.
He "GOt De Jackets"
This particular ranch appears to
be a haunt for yellow jackets and
many years ago, Uncle Morris" had
an experience with them according
to a story which he often related.
One summer he noticed that a fam
lily of the yellow pests had built their
nest under the caves of his cabin.
Their close proximity to his abode
didn't suit Uncle Morris" a little bit
so one day he thought he would get
rid of them. He conceived the idea
of tOucbino q match to the nest and
burning it, so he did so. The nest
burned all right, but so did the cabin
and it's contents He always ended
the story by the declaration but
got de jackets just de same"
John Robinson lost more than 800
cords of wood on his place here five
years ago by fire that caught from
some burning brush heaps.
