Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets mix
with the food you eat. The stomach
by its peristaItic action churns and
moves the food around the stomach
walls, the powerful ingredients in
these tablets instantly begin digesting
the foods as they are forced through
it and around it.
These tablets regulate the strength
of gastric juices. If there is too much
acid or alkaI then Stuart's Dyspep-
Sia Tablets reduce or dilute these
evil conditions and prevent the irri-
tating and raw. stomachs which al
ways come with dyspepsia, indiges-

1t is the very essence of pleasure to
a stomach sufferer to know that he
can digest any meal if he will only
take a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet

The use of one of these tablets

restore your appetite to its normal

A sentence from DR.. Wise's article
In the Outlook on Jesus the Jew" de-
serves to be made a watchword OF
faith. The really significant and abid-
ing thing in the life of Jesus was not
the Sermon on the Mount which he
spoke. but the life upon the mount
which he lived" 1t is a familiar view
or the subject to u.s. We are accus-
toned to hear that Christianity Is not
a doctrine. but 4 life, and to believe
that reciting n apostles creed is no
such indication OF a Christian as living
In h apoStieS spirit. But this Ia
miliar statement itself easily becomes
a creed. Those who make a doctrine
OF he fact that Christianity was not
a doctrine are In no better case than
those who have made their doctrine
serve in place of Christianity. We
owe much to every statement which
puts the case up to our W under
standing and behavior.
The truth win never be safe from
respectful and reverent abandonment

great examples Of lofty living bring
us. It. indeed. Inevitably and almost

BOBBY AND THE CHAMPION.

In all his seven years Bobby had
never been 30 excited; but. then, what
little boy wouldn't be IL his own big
ousin was the champion football
player who vas coming with the great
college team TO play the next Satur-
day? The papers told about him
and printed his pictures, and every
body talked about him and felt sure
his team would win. To have the
his very own cousin made Bobby feel
about as important as a champion
himself. In fact, he acted a great
deal more important than did the
big, clear-eyed, good natured cousin
when he came. Bobby watched and
admired everything he did, from the
way he walked to tho way he tied
his necktie, and before the first day
was owe they were the very best OF
friends.
After breakfast Bobby and Cousin
Ned went down to The hotel where
the other boys Of the team were
staying, n together they went out
to the place where the great game
was TO be that afternoon. How
proud and happy Bobby was as he
walked down the street with the
crowd OF fine. strong young fellows!
How nice 1t would be. he thought, To
be grown up like them and to do
just as he pleased "Nobody'd tell
them how many waffles they could
eat" he said resentfully to himself.
There had been crisp brown waffles
for breakfast. and Bobby was still in
dignant because his mother had not
let him eat as many as he wished.
At Inner time, my! but they were
hungry. Bobby was too busy eating
to notice Cousin Ned for a while. But
presently he heard him say: mo
more. thank you. It's eve so good,
but we're under orders to eat just so
much and no more when we're In
training for anne like this after
noon"
Bobby was so surprised that ne for
got to eat. To think that. a great. big.
strong football champion had to be
careful about what ne ate!
"It was hard for all of us at first"
said Ned; but 1t has been good for
US. too"
at Ia fine temperance training" ad-
ded Bobby's father; for when a boy
can eat what is good for him and
give up the rest, i should imagine
that he could give up anything else
that was going to hurt him In any
way"
The game was a great and OF
course Ned's side won, as Bobby had
been sure 1t would. Bobby remem-
bered. It all his life. And ne remem-
bered something else. too. He re-
membered that to be strong and use
full and able to do great things OF
any kind a boy must have a strong
body and a clear mind, and that
meant doing without many things
that he liked. But what did they
matter when they made such 4 big
difference in the end?

LIFE UPON THE MOUNT

of those unknown good that rest in
Gods still memory folded deep" peo-
pie of the temper which John Dome
put into the lines:
IT have done one drawer thing
Than all the worthless did;
And vet a drawer thence doth spring,
Which Is to keep that hid"
At least that drawer thing is within
common reach, but it is far from be-
ing least on the mount. Indeed. many
placed there see that higher peak yet
unscaled.
The fact is that the analogy Of .

misled us into thinking Of the eleva-

fallacy of monasticism clings to many
other sorts Of exclusiveness. People
who hoped to get above the world by
getting away from II are not so very
different from people who think that,
If they could get wealth. and be re-
leased from sordid necessities, they
would live a higher life. or. If they had
learning. they would continually

high place show a lack OF some of
these elementary things. we cheer
their attainment not with the whole
heart. 1t is seldom safe to get ac-
quainted too closely with those who
