Proper Food for Weak Stomachs.
The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Everyone
should adopt a diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. 1t
is also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel dull
and stupid after eating, they should
take Chamberlain's Tablets to
the stomach and move

The DeRue Minstrel.

The tDeRue Bros. Ideal Minstrels
presented very pleasing perform
ance at the Opera House last night
This was the first visit to Laurens of
the DeRue organization. Being more
or less an unknown quantity only a
medium sized audience was present
to witness the performance. Those
that were fortunate enough to be pres
ent indicated their hearty approval
OF the program by repeated applause.
The performance was we'll balanced
with music, dialogue and an afterDart
OF speciality acts. The music, both
vocal and instrumental, was particu-
larly we'll rendered and the specially
acts in the second part kept the au-
dience constantly in good humor. The
dialect was the only weak feature OF
the performance, which came to a
rather abrupt end after very effec
tive gymnastic act. In the absence OF
programs, special mention cannot be
made of individual acts. Should the
DeRue Minstrels return, they would
doubtless receive a cordial welcome.

TURN FROM SAVAGE TO SAINT
Wonderful Transformation Of FIJI
Islanders, Which Are Soon to Be
Visited by Roosevelt.

When Colonel Roosevelt pays his an
nounccd visit to the Fiji islands in
February he will find the natives much
different from what they were only q
comparatively short time ago. Today
the FIJI Islanders are model citizens
once they were the most abhorrent
creatures known to civilization.
In his work, "How Christ Conquered
Fiji,' Rev. ID. l.. Leonard tells us
something of the FIjians of Il genera
tton or two ago. He says:
physically and intellectually they
rank among the foremost in the South
seas, but before Christianity wrought
Its astounding miracles of transforma-
ton they had no equals for brutality,
RIGHTEOUSNESS and utter disregard for
human life. The world over their name
was synonym for all that Is afro
cious, inhuman and demonlacal It
was part of their religion to be as
cruel as possible toward their enemies
and to slay them with nameless and
horrible torture was positive de-
light.
Ihey had habit of massacrIng
oil shlpwreckcd sailors or other
strange visitors to their shores. Few
Fl1ians died natural death or lived
to old age, for the feeble and the aged
we're esteemed worse than useless men,
bers Of society and by artificial means
were haStened to their graves. In
fanticide was so common that two
thirds Of the children perlshed at the
hands of their parents.
when a chief built house and
holes were dug for the posts man
was flung into each one to be buried
alive. When war canoe was launched
living men were used for human roll
ers, and their bruised and torn bodies
were nfterward roasted and eaten. HUI
man flesh was eaten by preference, as
well MS from hatred of their enemies
slain in battle. In one district the en-
tire population was kept to be de-
Voured by their more powerful neigh
bors. chief would send to a neigh
Dor or ally roasted victim carefully
wrapped and escorted by procession.
After one war the victory was cele-
brated by cooking 100 human bodies
for feast. One chief set up q stone
to commemorate each time he had
played the cnnnibnl. and S72 Of these
tokens were counted by missionary.
But the Fiiians have since passed
under the mild yoke Of Christianity
ana the savage in them has yielded to
the subduing influences Of the GOSPEL
Of mercy and peace.

Hard Water Good for Rheumatica.

Hard Water Good for Rheumatics,
That hard water-meantng a water
that contains two hundred parts in the
million or more OF limc--iS better than
soft or distilled water for drinking
purposes Is asserted in the New York
Medical Journal by DR.. Frank Leslie
Rector Of New York. It never con-
tn!nS enough lime to do harm. but the
little 1t does contain is highly bcne-
ftciaI to persons with tendency to
rheumatism, gout or hardening of the
arteries.
TO gel such dose Of lime ns q doc
tor would prescribe ono would have to
drink six gallons OF hard water in "a
hours. A common glnSSeul of such
water contains about three fourths Of
q grain Of lime.
1t is an error TO suppose, as many
do. that hard water causes rheumn-
tism. gout. kidney diseases and
artcriOsclcroSls, for these are the very
troubles that are cured by the waters
Of such places as Kissingcn, Nauheim

hence the need of a movement to in

2. That the greater per cent Of
families are farmers-hence the trend
toward agriculture, manual training,

8. That only a fcw-about 10 per
