SHOP TALK GIVEN
 AT THAMEsvILLE FACTORY.
Rev. Gl H. Strouse Spoke-Topie,
 What's the Matter With Jesus?

Rev. George H. Strouse addressed the shop meeting held at the Cutlery, at Thamesville, Tuesday noon, under the auspices of the Y. M. c. A. The Victrola furnished the music. The speaker chose for his topic, What's s the Matter With Jesus? Among some of the things he said were:
 Men, I think this a pertinent ques- ton. Because CD there is no life apart from Jesus, CD a universal de- sire for life and (3) all may have it. But in view of all this the sad fact re- mains that many are going through life and stepping out into anotFer world without having ever come to Christ for the life which He alone can impar to us. A man who has money need not go begging for an opportn- nity to give it away. Christ has gift for us which far surpasses money, yet we make no rush for it.
 The question naturally comes up, Whats the matter with Jesus?
 Is it His life Examine that life in the light of these centuries. If you find a flaw you hace made a great dis covery. Give it to some agnostic or infidel, have it published in some mag azine and a good sized check will come your way. Men have spen- far more time and with more disastrous results g, hunting for flaws in the life of Jesus, than has been spent seeking the north or south poles. Men. you can't find ? flaw in His life. Take your telescope or your microscope of your X-ray, ii you please, and fix it on the very cen ter of Christie being. Analyze lis thoughts, motives, desires and ideals and everywhere and all the time the b-.< I cart of Jesus is beating with love and pity for the downtrodden and tbe lest.
 Is it the influence of Jesus? A true noble life must wield an intiu- ence for good. And the influence of Jesus lifts man on a higher plane Ma man need fear the influence of Jesus. The worlds marvellous trans formation is due to the life and in- f7uence of Jesus Christ founded a new social order. In Christ's day on the eatrh Rome was mistress of the world. Purity was not regarded 8 virtue. Woman was a slave. Chil- dren could be murdered without 8 word of protest. A despot's will was law Man lived simply for the state
 Christ has penetrated the darkness of heathenism, broken the shackles oi the captives, redeemed woman from slavery and made the home the ideal of society.
 Men, get up close to this Almighty Christ. Take the gift He wants tc give pou. This Is the gift of His ow1 language: T am come that ye might have life and have it more abundant lv"

HOW TO PREVENT
 ACID STOMACHS AND
 FOOD FERMENTATION
By a Stomach Specialist.

Az a specialist who has spent many years in ne study and treatment Of stomach troubles, I have been forced to the conclusion that most people who complain Of stomach trouble possess stomachs that are absolutely healthy and normal. The real trouble, that which causes a. the pain and dIfic1l- ty is acid in the stomach, usually due to, or aggravated by, food fern enta- tion Acid irritates the delicate lining of the stomach and food fermentation causes wlnd wAich distends the stom- ach abnormaliy, causing that full bioated feeling. Thus both acid and Fermentation interfere with and retard the process Of digestion The stomach is usually healthy and normal, but irrt- tated almost past endurance by these foreign elementS-acid and wind. In ali such cases-and they comprise over 90 per cent. of all stomach difficulties -the first and only step necessary Is to neutralize the acid and stop the fer mentation by taking in A little warm or cold water imm ediately after eating
 from one to two teaSpoonfuls of bisur- ated InagneSia, which is doubtless the best and only really effective antacid and food corrective known, The acid will be neutTaliZed and the fermehta- ton stopped almost instantly, and your stomach will at once proceed to digest the food in a healthy, normal manner
 Be sure to ask your chemist for the u4sura.ed magneSia, as 1 have found other forms utterly lacking in its pe- culiarly valuable properties.-F- J. G.

The prompt and effective work of the flremen kept the blaze from spreading beyond the hallway.
 Chef Stanton found that the fire apparently had started in much the same location as one of year ago in January in the same building, except that 1t was on the other side of the hall A number of empty packing cases are kept here and it seemed like ly that it had started among these The damage to the building will be less than that of the fire a year ago, when the amount was something near 2000
 The stores on the main floor suffered the most from water in the rear, the the front of the stores. The rooms of the Holiness Mission, which were bad ly burned out in the previous fire, were damaged only by water this time. An iron door that had been put in kept the blaze from spreading on the second floor of the building as it did in the fire of Jan. 24, 1913.
 Policemen Morgan, Perry, Cowles, Tom Murphy, Ebberts and Fenton as- sisted in keeping the crowd back be- hind the fire lines that were estab- lished.
 Two Chimney Fires.
 Just after the recall had been rung word was received that there was a chimney fire at the home of Ephraim M. W liliamSs NO. 124 Maple street, and the autochemical was sent there. Part of the way the auto had to blow out it's own path through the snow, but it got there and used one of the big 40 gallon tanks in the chimney, where there was bad fire going. The house is owned by A. L. Potter.
 Soon after the autochemical had left for the West Side word was telephoned to headquarters by Manager Al Craig at the Davis theatre that they needed the firemen over there to look at a chimney fire that was sending sparks out of the chimney on the south side of the building. Chemical company No. 1 left the Main street fire and took care of that in the theatre chimney. The few sparks that came out occa- stoned no alarm to the patrons of the house and the crowd showed their con- ddence in the precautions that are taken for their safety by continuing to file into the theatre while the fire ap- paratus stood outside. Those already inside knew nothing about the fire.
 These made the alarms for the month of February this year reach a total of 20 in 1T days and the total number since July 1st of 146.
