What To Do Fof's
 Nervous Indigestion

When nerves go wrong they always seem to strike at your weakest spot. When this spot happen to be the stomach, nervous dyspepsia results, appetite vanishes and gfees way to dull, dread, uneasiness and a hollow, gnawing feeling that keeps up until every nerve in your body seems on edge. The food you force down won't digest properly, and you're all in down and out for one day at least so far as being really useful to yourself or anyone else is concerned.
 It's the height of folly to force the digestion of food with some pepsin pill when the stomach nerves are in such shape. Nervous indigestion comes from the nerves alone. Get the nerves right and all distress will vanish.
 Thanks to remarkable chemical discovery. it is now possible to feed the nerve cells with the exact stimulus they require when overworked and upstrung and a preparation called Margo Nerve Tablets is pro- ducing remarkable results in the treatment of ; Nervous Dy- Spepsia ands other nerve disorders. They make a remarkable change in ten minutes by the watch in many instances strengthening the stomach and charging the. nerve cells with strength, boise, power, and tre- mendOus reserve energy and giving nerves of steel, clear head and brain, courage, power, quick wit, and real vital vim, fMaygo Nerve Tablets can not harm anyone. They contain no dope or dangerous habit forming drugs. Forty tablets come in a large sl2Hcl1age, and this is often enough to Five lasting relief . to even, the most Obstinate cases.

 Closer cooperation with nevspaper reporters as means to keep the work ot the charity organization societies before the public was recommended by Miss Charlotte Belle Mann of Balti- more, a former newspaper worler who spoke before the American Asso clatlon for Organizing Charities. one of the allied societies.

RQTIIn NeWS HIS FRIEND DID
 NOT COME BACK E ---- ---- ... .t So Michael Felix Looks for Him
 and Getsin Trouble '. FINED IN COURT TODAY
When Refused Liquor Man Smashcs Glass in DOor-SeIectmen to h.
 COX Gives Town Trees and Hedges.

Yesterday was a sorry day for Michael Felix, who is one of the many brickyard men out on strike. Weary of his weeks rest Felix in dulged freely in the morning. The effect of the intoxicants caused him , to sleep and he lay on the lap of Mother Nature near the depot After a, time he awoke and wended his way to the Globe Cafe, where the wine clerk noticing his condition, re- fused to serve him. Felix went out and met a friend, who agreed to get him a bottle. Felix waited and waited but the friend did not return. Finally he fell asleep again and when he awoke, vengeance filled his manly breast. He hied himself to the Globe and found his friend there and im- mediately proceeded to assault the latter. Joseph Schoolnick, the pro- prietor, elected him. Later Felix re- turned and crashed through the pane of glass in the door. He was then placed under arrest by Constable En- rico Polo. This morning Felix was before Judge George Griswold charg- ed with drunkenness and assault.
 John Russell, John Tonnini and Joseph Schoolnick appeared as wit nesses for the state. Their testimony was similar, being in effect, that Fe- lix came into the Globe Cafe yester- day afternoon at 3 o'clock and de- manded liquor. He was refused and turning around he saw man, name unknown, and struck the man on the jaw. He was put out of the place and returned shortly after and broke the glass in the entrance door.
 Tn his own behalf, Felix told the court that he is a brickmaker and is on strike. He imbibed freely yes- terday and fell asleep near the depot. When he awoke thirst still pursued him and he went to the Globe cafe where he was refused. He went out and met a friend of his. who agreed to get him some liquor. He gave the man fifty cents. and the latter failed to return. He retraced his steps to the cafe and saw the man and de- manded his money back. The friend smiled and Felix struck him.
 Prosecutor William H. Gibney said in ordinary times he would consider the case trivial, but he thought the display of pugilistic endeavors now might lead to a riot He said Felix was guilty and admitted it, and he recommended a nominal fine. Judge Griswo1d assessed a fine of s3 and costs on the charge of drunkenness charge Felix informed the judge he had but s2. but would pay the rent as soon as the strike was settled. He

IMPORTANT CHANGES IN THE M. E. RITUAL
Rev. Warren F. Cook Explains
 Them for Herald Readers
Especial to the Herald.)

(By Rev. warren F. COOk.)
 Saratoga, N. Y, May 11-By far
 the most important action taken by
 the present General Conference of
 the Methodist Episcopal church meet 1 ing here is the revision of the ritual of the church in the sections for
 church membership, baptism, burial
 and ordination of elders.
 This matter has come before two previous conferences,S four. and eight years ago but failed both times. At
 the last general conference four years ago at Minneapolis, however, gave the bishops power to appoint a new
 commission on revision which
 brought in it's report at this session.
 When the matter was presented the debate soon became warm and it was evident that if the entire report was to be considered by the whole body
 that it would take days of time. A very shrewd move by Prof. Rall of Chicago got whole matter referred to the board of bishops with power.
 Prof. Ral had a large influence IT,
 the revision and he knew that the
 majority of the bishops favored it.
 Among the most important changes made by the revision are, a substitu-
 ton of the American Revised Yer
 sion of the scriptures for the king
 James Verson'; the shortening of
 the baptismaI service for infants and the elimination of the words for as
 much as all men are conceived and born in sim changes in the adult
 baptismal service, and the service for admission into church member ship which eliminate the necessity of subscribing to belief il the Apostles Creed and the Articles of Religion of the Methodist Episcopal church, sub stituting the following :-"Dost thou receive and profess the Christian faith as contained in the New TeSta- ment of our Lord Jesus Christ "'' This makes church mbcrship and baptism depend, not upon belief in creed or dogma but upon the sincerity and purpose of conviction and life.
 Tn the marriage service tho re- sponscs of the bride and | groom are made exactly alike ! thus putting woman on the samo , basis as man; the prayer about Ahra- i ham and Rebecca living faithfully to- ! gether (which they did not do) is | omitted and the words with all my : worldly goods I thee endow," for merly repeated by the groom and by ! the bride in the double ring cere- mony, is stricken out.
 The service for the ordination of deacons and elders and deaCOnesses has been abbreviated and simplified and the wording made modern; the burial service has also been shorten ed but with the addition of optional l passages with the purpose of giving | fuller expression to the Christian ! hope and comfort as found in the New Testament" There is also added a form for the burial of in fants.
 These, changes and some others in the ritual for the sacrament have been worked for and urged for years by some of the leading men of the church. They believe that it was a mistake ever to have departed from he simpler forms which were used 1 before 1864 and welcome the return o these older and briefer statements. The change will be welcomed by min sters and many laymen all through he church.
