PREACHER FORCED OUT
Compelled to Resign Because He
Signed q Saloon Petition.

Siou City, IA. May 26.-Rev. Wallace
M. Short, pastor of the First Congrega-
tional church here. rendered his resig-
nation as pastor and it was accepted by
a vote OF 124 to 81. Many members Of
the congregation declined to vote.
Rev. Mr.. Shorts resignation was de-
manded because he signed a saloon con-
sent petition.
In defending his action in signing the
petition of consent the minister de-
clared he was actuated by a conviction
that the methods employed by the pro-
hibitionists. to secure temperance re-
form. were wrong and that under local
conditions he regarded a vote for a
legalized saloon to be the most tenn
porato measure. He denied emphat-
ically that he was opposed to the tenn
perance movement. Rev. Mr.. Short
was pastor of a Kansas City church,
before he came to Sioux City.

pronounced the worlds greatest au-
fhority on diseases Of the stomach,
makes the positive statement that pep
sin must not be used in treating acid
fty of the stomach. Millions Of people
are taking all sorts of dyspepsia tab
lets because they contain pepsin which
affords slight temporary relief. But
every dose contributes to serious harm
in time. What Is needed Is something
to neutralize the excess acid. The best
thing for that purpose Is ordinary
bisurated magnesia- You can get 1t
at any drug store for a few cents. Take
a teaspoonful in a quarter glass Of
water after each meal. You will get
immediate and complete relief with no
danger or bad after effects. Authorities
agree that acidity Is the cause of nearly
every form Of stomach disorder, and II

HERPICIDE
ALWAYS. CREATES ENTHUSIASM
Thousands Endorse Il

Thousands Of ladies throughout the
world are thankful for Newbro's Herpf-
eide, because it il to tina. wonderful
hair remedy and scalp prophylactic
they owe their soft. long, beautiful
hair.
Mary J. Terry. of Lovejoy, I'LL, writes:
MY hair came out until there was just
a scanty cover for the scalp, tried
everything ever heard Of or read about
until finally used Herpicide. There is
nothing like it. My head is now covered
with new hair. I shall forver praise
Herpicide.''
Most hair troubles come from dan
druff. Newbro's Herpicide removes this
dandruff and prevents further accumu-
lation. 1t also stimulates a flow of
blood which nourishes the follicles. The
scalp being healthy the hair does not
come out and the new hair is allowed
to grow.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1914-05-26

There are other preparations which
they say are 'just as good as Herpi-
eide. It is not advisable to try them.
Instead of doing any good they may do
positive harm.
No one is ever disappointed in New
bros Herpicide. The results are almost
always the same, highly satisfactory. as
is indicated by the fact that Herpicide
has been sold for years and has thous-
ands Of satisfied friends. 1t is the only
genuine, original dandruff germ de-
stroyer." There is nothing just as
good.'
Newbro's Herpicide in SOC and $1.O0
sizes is sold by all dealers who guar
antee it to do all that is claimed. II
you are not satisfied your money will
be refunded.
