Acid Sfomschs
Are Dangerous

Acid" stomachs. are dangerous be-
cause acid irritates and infames the
delicate lining Of the stomach. thus
hindering and preventing the proper
action of the stomach. and leading to
probably nine-tenths of the cases of
stomach trouble from which people
suffer. Ordinary medicines and medic
inal treatments are useless in such
cases, Tor they leave the source of
the trouble, the acid in the stomach.
as dangerous as ever. The acid must
be neutralized, and its formation pre-
vented, and the best thing for this
purpose is a tessponful of bisurated
magnesia. a simple antacid. taken in
little warm or cold water after eat
ing, which not only neutralizes the
acid, but also prevents the fermenta-
ton from which acid Is developed.
Foods which ordinarily cause distress
may be eaten with impupity il the
meal is followed with a little hisurat-
ed magnesia, which can be obtained
from any druggist. and should always
be kept handy

The Ministry of Praise.-Psalm CIV.
'The Lord hath been mindful of us;
He will bless us" In that joyful assur-
ance there is both retrospect and pros
pect There is the trodden pathway Of
Providence. and there is the star of
hope! The eyes are steadied and re-
freshed in sacred memories and then
they gaze into the future with serene
and happy confidence. And so the Ebe-
nezer of the soul becomes both a thanks
giving and a reconsecration.
Now perhaps our hopes are thin be-
cause our praises are soanty. Perhaps
our expectations are couded because our
memories are dim. There is nothing so
quickens hope as a journey among the
mercies of our yesterdays. The heart
laws aside its fears amid the accumu.
lated blessings of our God. Worries pass
away like cloudlets in the warmth of a
summers morning. And the recollec-
tions of Gods goodness always make
summer even in the wntriest day.
Now / see why the New Testament is
so urgent in the matter of praise. With
out praise many other virtues and
araces cannot be born. Without praise
thew have no breath of life. Praise
quickens a radiant company of heavenly
presences and among them is the shining
spirit of hope.-trom Daily Medita-

New News Of Yesterday
Farragut's Opinion of the
Ironclad WarShip
BY Holland.

Soon after Farragut was made vice
admiral of the American navy, he Wis
ted New York and it was discovered
nv those whom he met that he was
most companionable man, gltted
with some capacity for wit and pos
sessing abundant humor. He de-
geloped into fairly good speech
maker. although he always spoke
briefly at the banquets which he at
ended as the principal guest.
Some years ago, ] listened to a
little group chatting in the reading
room of the Union League CLUB, OF
New York City, to an anecdote which
illustrates Farragut's sense of humor
and his capacity for a humorous mar
ration. The admiral was sailor OF
the old school. He delighted in the
shin of war which was driven by wind
or bv steam. but he had little patience
for or believed in the ironclads which
we're SO rapidly constructed after the
battle between the Monitor and Merri-
mac. in Hampton Roads, Va, as to
demonstrate that there was to be a
revolution in naval architecture.
Farragut made no secret of his dis
like for the ironclads and his prefer
ence for wooden ships. And to Illus
trate this disposition Of his he told
some OF his friends of an experience
he had shortly after he was promoted
% the rank of vice-admiral. He was
10 make a tour of the coast from
Washington to Portland. Me, and It
5 became his duty TO make 1t as vice
ADMIRAL upon an ironclad.
When his instructions came he was
gratified tina. he was to have the op-
4 portunity, so he said, to discover what
4 kind of things these ironclads were.
i Nevertheless, he would greatly have
/ preferred TO make this official trip
i Upon an old-fashioned man of war.
II seemed to him while in command
= of this ship that he was a mere ap-
prentice, and yet he learned in a very
short time everything that he wanted
/. to know about ironclads. 1t was a
q pleasant enough voyage to Portland,
FOR the sea was fairly calm and there
a was no bad weather He did not
q have opportunity. therefore. to learn
how an ironclad would behave in
Ease there we're heavy storms.
Portland harbor was made, and af-
& ter few days there the vice-admiral
brought his ironclad back as far rs
New York The following are sub
stantially the words which Farragut
used in describing his first experience
4 in an ironclad, as they were reported
by one who heard them in the little
I group at the Union League Club:
well. I found out what kind of
things these ironclads are. l took
one to Portland. as ! was instructed
but ! want to tell you that when
make another trip to Portland il will
be in a different kind of a boat. one
of the old-fashioned kind. | know
