Asbury M. Il. Church, presided. Aboj

IA MEMBERS FOR
West At ONE Service
AccesSionS the Greatest in
the History OF the
Church
CHRIST THE ONLY
TRUE MODEL

Yesterday will be long remembered
by the members and friends of West
Presbyterian church as one of the
most notable days in the history Of
that institution. The service in the
morning, at which the Holy Sacra-
ment was administered. was attended
by a congregation which crowded the
auditorium. Just before the com
munion, Dr. Smiley. in behalf of the
members of the church, welcomed one
hundred and fourteen new members
into fellowship. Most of these were
adults and almost half the number
were men.
For the second time in the present
pastorate, the records of admission
into the church membership have been
surpassed, yesterdays number being
by far the greatest ever received at
any one time into the fellowship Of
West Church. I'm view of the fact that,
aside from the Sunday night meetings,
no special services have been held by
the church, the exceptional number of
people received into membership yes
terday was remarkable, and gave cause
for great rejoicing among West Church
adherents.
notwithstanding the bad weather,
all the other meetings of the church
were well attended In the Bible
school. S71 persons were present, 40
being present in the mems class and
101 in the women's class.
Another large audience greeted the
pastor at the evening service, when
DR.. Smiley preached the only sermon
OF the day. His theme was "The
Price of Pre- -Eminence.p in which
he laid emphasis upon the thought
that It cost something in sacrifice and
service TO be a Christian. He pointed
out that there is much selfshness in
the world which is paraded as sacri-
fee, and urged his hearers not tc
take any man. in the church or out
as a model. but to look to Christ, and
to strive each day TO do those things
which please Him.

ACID IN STOMACH
SOURS THE FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid Is
Cause Of Indigestion

A well.known authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion is near
ly always due to acidity-acid stomach
and not, as most Sslks believe, from
a lack of digestive juices. He states
that an excess of hydroehloric acid in
the stomach retards digestion and starts
food fermentation, then our meals sour
like garbage in can, forming acrid
fluids and gases which initiate the
stomach like a toy balloon. We then
get that heavy, lumpy feeling in the
chest, we eructate sour food, belch gas,
or have heartburn, fatulenee, water
brash, or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast while it is effervescing,
and furthermore, to continue this for
one week. While relief follows the
first dose, 1T is important to neutralize
the acidity, remove the gas-making
mass, start the liver, stimulate the kid
neys and thus promote free flow of
pure digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia and sodium
phosphate. This harmless salts is used
by thousands of people for stomach
trouble with excellent results.-Adv.

MRS. ANGLE NOT GUILTY
Woman Charged With Killing Waldo
R. Ballou Freed by jury

Bridgeport, Conn, March 90" Not
guilty" was the verdict yesterday of
the jury in the trial for manslaughter
of Mrs. Helen NJ. Angle.
A scene of disorder strange to Con-
necticut court followed the announce
ment of the jury. A cheer broke out in
the rear ofsthe room, in which the
voices of many women were heard.
Judge William H. Williams looked up
in surprise to give reprimand when
there arose a shrek that drowned out
all other sounds and the reprimand
was interrupted. Mrs. Angle, who was
standing before her chair, threw up
her hands at the Shrek and sank to
the floor i'll utter collapse.
The hysterical sobbing of the woman
who had now been cleared of blame for
the death of Waldo r. Ballou was
heard out in the corridors of the build
ing. Her father and her lawyers gath
cred about her and vainly tried to.
soothe her.
Later Mrs. Angle was taken out of
the court building and escorted to the
| railroad station. She was very weak
and had to be supported. The street
was black with humanity when she left
the court house, and crowd followed
her and her father to the railroad sta
| tion.
"Thank heaven it is over with! >
exclaimed her father when asked if he
had anything to say. "Nine months of
this agony is surely enough.
