Do YOU ENJOY EATHe
Or Does Everything You Eat
Distress You7

Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders are SO common in
this country is due to hasty and
careless habits Of eating. Stomach
troubles and rundown conditions also
usually go together.
John Lind, Of Oneonta, N. Y, says:
II have been troubled with a bad
stomach trouble for fifteen years, and
became so weak that could hardly
walk or do any work. My appetite
was very poor, and it seemed impos-
Bible to get any relief. Since taking
two bottles of Vinol I find that Il has
already made remarkable improve
ment In my health; my digestion is
much stronger, and l have gained In
weight"
Vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because II strengthens and tones up
the weakened, tired and overtaxed
nerves OF the digestive organs. vinol
Is easily assimilated by the weakest
stomachs, and is delicious to the taste.
Try bottle OF vinol with the
understanding that your money will
be returned II 1t does not help you.

the status quo; that she interferes
with discomfort and progress by
teaching patience and submission;
that she is otherwise worldly and
remote, aloof from modern affairs,
out of step with science and civili-
zation, and but lukewarmly con-
concerned with the betterment of
social and industrial conditions.
Laboring men do not hesitate to
declare that the church cares more
for one sheep safe in her fold than
for the ninety and nine in the
wilderness; that she emphasizes
individual salvation and the indi-
vidual conscience, and cares little
for social salvation and the social
conscience; that she lives only to
preserve herself; to narcotize her
members and to maintain her paid
ministers in positions of ease and
afhuence; that she stands not for
the golden rule, but for the rule
of gold; that though she calls her.
self the church of Christ, she has
lost the simplicity of Christ, the
Democracy of Christ, the loving
kindness of Christ, and, above all,
the justice and the righteous indig-
nation of Christ.
IF any of the counts in this
terrible indictment are true, and
just in so far as any one of them
is true, every Christian must bow
his head in shame. 1t is fright
full calamity, not only to labor,
but to the world, if the sad face
of the Savior of mankind upon
the cross sees only this after the
passion of two thousand years.
And, certainly, if these charges
are even partly true, self-respect-
ing labor may be pardoned if it
considers its interests to be dis
similar and divergent from those
of the church."

Why Buy Red Cross Seals?

Why you should buy Red Cross
Christmas Seals, may be answered
most effectively in the words of a
twelve-year-old boy in the Duluth
(Minn. schools, who gave the fol-
lowing as his reason in a compo.
sition on this subject:
THE reason l put Red Cross
Seals on my Christmas gifts is be-
cause every seal l use counts one
cent toward stamping out tuber-
culosis in the city and for the
maintenance of hospitals for that
purpose. The seals are also used
to raise funds to teach people the
value of fresh air. Another rea.
son / buy them is because my
father died of tuberculosis and l
buy them so other little boys and
girls won't lose their father as /
did. Another reason is that if |
am ever threated with tuberculosis
the doctors will have a fund to
try to prevent it,"

The Press and the Pulpit.
For sale by W. S. LLOYD


Petersburg, Va, an assault upon
modern journalism by DIR. Poteat,
in a sermon on Conflicts With
Christianity" marked the close
of the eighty-ninth annual conyen-
ton of the Virginia Baptist Gen
eral Association.
Playing up the names of crime
in type an inch high, giving vici-
Gus details of court proceedings
from which courts have excluded
boys, and carrying those details
into the home," DR.. Poteat de-
clafed, 1.-THE modern newspaper
drains the sewers of civilization
and poisons the fountains of NOR
atty; and you hold your nose but
make no protest."
DIR. Poteat should not have made
his denunciation of the press so
broad and sweeping. There is a
yellow press, just as there lisa vel
low pulpit. There are sensational
newspapers, just as there are SEN
sational preachers. But no minis
ter of the gospel is justified in ut
tering general condemnation of
the press because some newspapers
' are not what they should be, any
more than a newspaper would be
justified in uttering general con-
demnation of the pulpit because
some preachers are not worthy to
occupy it.
The newspaper-even the mod
ern newspapers not an evil. 1t
is great force in the moral and
material progress of every civilized
nation. The world would be quite
as much at sea without the news
paper as without the church. The
press and the pulpit work togeth-
err in way for the great common
good, and no man should be will
ing to rob either of its share of
the credit for what has been &C
complished. Should the pulpit
and the press array themselves
against each other, it is impossi-
BILE to say what the result might
be.
Because the newspapers do not
attack and denounce the church
for the shortcomings of some of
its ministers and leaders and mem
bers, the preachers here and there
who find pleasure in attacking and
denouncing the press because some
newspapers are sensational must
not imagine that the pulpit is
perfect or that they themselves
are above criticism. These pulpi-
teers who go out of their way to
find fault with men and things
can serve the church to better ad-
vantage by devoting their time
and talent and energies to making
it what it should be. Bishop Nc
Cornkck has an article in recent
issue of The Churchman in which
he discusses the views held by
some people, and especially labor
ing men, respecting the church.
We do not share these views at
all, hut we reproduce a part of
Bishop McCormick's article for
the benefit of such members of
the ministry as may have lulled
themselves into the belief that
satisfaction with the church and
with those who control its fortunes
and direct its activities is universal
and complete. The Bishop says;
1T is said that the church is al
ways on the side of capital; that
she is monarchical and aristocratic
in her organization; that she is
chiefly interested in maintaining

When an Engine PIoughs Into Rear
Coach of Passenger Train.
GAINESVILLE, Ohio.-Eight lives were
sacrificed and five persons are not ex'
pected to live as a result of a wreck
on the Pennsylvania railroad near
Dresden, Ohio. Four persons were

$4,000 PERSONS
HAVE PELLAGRA
SYMPTOMS OF THE DISEASE ARE
BECOMING MUCH LESS
SEVERE.
DISEASE NOT DECREASING
But the Commission Has Not Discov-
cred the Origin Of the
AiIment.

New York.-After four and a half
months studying pellagra in South
Carolina, the Thompson-MacFadden
pellagra commission reported that
while it's data on the epidemology OF
the disease was the most complete
ever obtained, the mystery enveloping
the origin of the ailment has not been
dispelled. 1t will take months to get
the details into such shape that any
thing like a logical conclusion may
be drawn and the probability is that
the cause cannot be positively deter,
mined without further exhaustive in
vestigation.
The commission has expended only
half of the fund of $4,000 donated
by Col. Robert M. Thompson and John
H. MacFadden of Philadelphia. For
this reason a second expedition will
be sent to the same locality next
spring. These general facts were OBJ,
tanned:
It is certain that exclusive Of the
cases that have proved fatal there are
at present $4,000 persons in the South
afflicted with pellagra. The symptoms
Of the disease are becoming less Sc
we're, but the number Of cases is not
decreasing. The ailment which for
merly was almost exclusively confined
to the poorer classese, probably on &C
count of their generally unfortunate
surroundings, is spreading more, and
more among those who are prosper
ous.
