MUCH INTEREST IN
BRIDCERS MEETING
Great Sermons and Fine Singing
Keeps Church Crowded-Pra-
Yer Meetings in Business
Houses Each Day.

The Bridgers revival continues with
unabated interest. Very large crowds
attend each night, and deep interest is
manifested. The preaching and sing
ing of Mr.. Bridgers holds the attention
of the large crowds from first to last.
On several occasions the church has
been packed to its utmost-chairs have
filled the aisles, and numbers have had
to stand. On Sunday night at least one
hundred and fifty people were unable
to get even standing room. One pleas
ing feature of the meetings is the
attendance each night of large num-
bers of people from the country. The
roads are fine, and the wagons, bug
gies and automobiles have lined the
highways. During all last week there
was bright moonlight, and travel was
easy and pleasant. On several even
ings there were parties from Blue
field-special friends and admirers of
the Evangelist, who enjoyed his meet
ings held there early In the year.
PRAYER MEETINGS.
On each day this week, by special
request, the business houses of the
town were closed from 10 to II o.
clock, to allow attendance upon morn
ing service. Also, on several after
moons prayer services were held in
private homes in different sections of
the town, by the ladies of the church
and congregation, and also in several
of the business houses. All the SER
vices were said to have been of un-
usual interest, and productive of good.

Stomach If you'll take "Pape's
Oiapepsin'-Try This!

DO some foods you eat hit back

into stubborn Jumps and cause a sick,
sour gassy stomach? Now, Mr.. or
Mrs. Dyspeptic, jot this down: Pape's
Diapepsin digests everything, leaving
nothing to sour and upset you. There
never was anything so safely quick, so
certainly effective. No difference how
badly your stomach is disordered you
will get happy relief in five minutes,

ach so you can eat your favorite foods
without fear.
Most remedies give you relief some
times-they are slow, but not sure.
"Pape's Diapepsin" is quick, positive
and puts your stomach in a healthy
condition so the misery won't come
back.
You feel different as soon as "Pape's
Diapepsin" comes in contact with the
tomach-distress just vanishes-your
stomach gets sweet, no gases, no belch-
ing, no eructations of undigested food
your head clears and you feel fine.
Go now, make the best investment
you ever made, by getting a large fifty
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin from any
drug store. You realize in five minutes
how needless it is to suffer from indi-
gestion, dyspepsia or any stomach dis
order.

portation, while Maine, Vermont,
Minnesota, South Dakota, and Ore
gon permit payment for room and
hoard for pupils in homes convenient
TO the schools where the cost OF so
doing does not exceed the cost of
transportation.
AS to the means of transportation
the bulletin says: Sentiment seems
to favor the school wagon where
properly managed; yet while the
wagon is the usual form of convey
ance furnished many children are
transported by steam railroads, cleo
trio cars, automobiles, and even by
gasoline launches"
Competent drivers are essential in
any plan for transportation, accord
ing to the bulletin The character
Of the driver is so important that
state legislation in some instances,
for example Wisconsin, requires that
leach driver contracted must be of
excellent moral character, trustwor~
thy. and responsible, and must fur
nish a safe team with suitable con-
veyance.
The kind of the wagons used is
regarded as so important that many
states purchase their own wagons
and hire only drivers and teams
"The best wagons" declares the bull
letin, "are those where the driver
sits inside with the children, and
where there are glass sides instead
Of curtains" In cold weather rugs
and lap robes are used, and some
times the wagons are heated by
means of oil stoves.
The cost per pupil for transporta-
ton, as given by the bulletin, ranges
from 10 to IS cents per day. The
average expense for the school year
Is about s23 per pupil
