Philadelphia, Pa. Victims of eye strain
and other eye weaknesses. and those who
wear glasses. will be glad to know that
according to DR.. Lewis there is real hope
and help for them. Many whose eyes
were failing say they have had their eyes
restored by this remarkable prescription
and many who once Wore glasses say
they have thrown them away. One man
says, after using it: II was almost blind.
Could not see to read ut all. Now l can
read everything without my glasses and
they would pain dreadfully. Now they
feel fine all the time. 1t was like Il
miracle to me- A lady who used it says:

scription for 10 days everything seems
clear. ! can read even fine print with

BY overworked. tired eyes which induced
fierce headaches. have worn glasses for
several years both for distance and work,
and without them I could not read my

"Pape's Diapepsin" settles sour,

You don't want slow remedy when
your stomach is bad-or an uncertain
one--or a harmful one-your stomach
is too valuable; you mustn't injure 1t.
Pape's Diapepsin is noted for its
speed in giving relief; its harmless
ness; its certain unfailing action in
regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs.
Its millions Of cures in indigestion,
dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach
trouble has made it famous the world
over.
Keep this perfect stomach doctor in
your home-keep it handy-get large
fifty-eent case from any dealer and
then if anyone should eat something
which doesn't agree with them; II
what they eat lays like lead, ferments
and sours and forms gas; causes head
ache, dizziness and nausea; eructa-
tions of acid and undigested food
remember as sen as Pape's Diapepsin
comes in contact with the stomach all
such distress yanishes. Its prompt
ness. certainty and ease in overcoming
the worst stomach disorders is reve-
lation to those who try it.--Adv.

Unique Gift
for Easter

A T EASTER time the people of
~ Patrick county, Virginia, fire.
: quently send to their friends
unique gifts. In this county, about GER
tain beautiful springs and the clear
streams flowing from them, are found
quantities of small stone crystals in
the form of perfect crosses. They are
mixed with the gravel and pebbles Of
this limestone country.
More remarkable still, the crosses are
found in various shapes-the plain Ro-
man cross, the square maltese cross,
and the Greek cross where the crystals
interpenetrate each other at an angle
Of 60 degrees. This last is the most
common form, but it is not so pleasing
when the stone is used as an ornament
because of the twisted appearance 1t
gives, although the structure itself is
very interesting, resembling double
cross. Sometimes three or even four
crystals are grouped together.
The crystals are six-sided prisms,
and in a simple form appear in an en-
velope shape complete as to the point
ed flaps even. The scientific name Of
the material is "staurolite," or "cross-
stone" the name staurolite coming
from the Greek words meaning "crOss"
and "stone."
The girls of Patrick county wear the
cross in place of lOcket or pendant
on gold or silver chains. The stone is
comparatively soft and small gold
screw is inserted in the cross and the
chain passed through projecting ring.
Sometimes those who live in this val
ley search for crosses that match in
size and make long necklace of the
stones themselves. The crosses vary
in size from an inch to two inches in
length.
The writer has a fairy stone Of the
popular Roman style, presented by the
finder, who picked 1t up on q Patrick
county farm. 1t has a dull brown color
and looks as If it might be bit Of rich,
dark wood from, the altar Of church.
The color varies from reddish or vel
lowish brown to black or gray, but is
uniform In each individual stone.
The inhabitants Of Patrick county be-
lieve that the stone is found nowhere
else In the world outside Of their par
ticular county, a picturesque mountain
section Of Virginia.

TIME FOR RESOLUTIONS
Easter ls the Season to Start Anew
and Stop Worrying over Little
Things That Can't Be
Helped.

THERE'S just one thing for reso-
lutions to thrive, and that is at
the Easter season, when every
thing is starting anew. There's some
thing in the very atmosphere that
strengthens puny, timid resolutions.
For instance, suppose that you re-
solve to stop worrying over little things
that can't be helped, and then wake up
on the morning of the day you had
planned to make a lettuce bed and
put out your spring flowers, to find a
vigorous snowstorm in full session. Be
still for a minute and listen to that
redbird in your neighbours cherry trees,
piping shrilly: "Here! here With you
with you-with you!"
To be sure he is with us, the blessed
dash of crimson JOY, and he will save
the day for that resolution. Suppose
you've resolved to stop grouching, and
then the brick masons and the carpen-
tiers next door throw things on your
tiny rose garden, and trample your
grass into the mud. That resolution
would snap like glass in January, but
just as it is being strained to the limit
now, robin calls to you from the tele-
graph wire overhead: "Cheer up
cheer up-cheer up!" And you just
can't help cheering up.
Oh, you get all sorts Of encourage
ment in the resolution business at this
seasonl If you resolve to grow in
mind and heart and soul, there's the ex-
ample Of the green grass that rises in
spite of rude, trampling feet, and the
birds that sing in spite Of the beating
spring rains, and the flowers that
bloom because of rains and buheting
winds. And think of the help you
will get from the Easter music! 1t is
SO sweet and tender and glad and
triumphant! How could you help be-
ing better and stronger and truer after
hearing it2 It's the sweetest, finest sea-
son of the whole year-the Easter sea-
son, with its message Of rising and
growing and doing and being. New
Years resolutions are broken, or
even nicked here and there, why not
get fresh set when you get your new
Easter clothes, and when you ar
ray your body, put some Of the new
ness Of life into your mind and heart
and soul? And, even If we haven't new
Easter clothes and a precious lot Of
us won't have-why can't we deck our
minds and hearts and souls bit more
lavishly, SO that the steady, happy light
shining through our eyes from within
will prove to the world that Easter
is not entirely a time for outward
adornment. Why not try making just
a few new resolutions at the blessed
Easter time?

You're bilious! Your liver is slug

What the Season Means to Us.

The real lesson that we ought to
get out of this Easter season Is not
simply the fact of life beyond death,
but rather the possibility and the
beauty of living the risen life while
we are yet in the body. If, after the
strains Of Easter music have died
away, and the fragrance of the lilies
has gone from the church, we pass
on to live the same old lives, seeking
the things that are below more zeal
ously than the things that are above,
what has Easter profted us? In what
way does the fact Of Christ's resurrec-
ton make its power felt in the mold
ing of our character and the forming
Of our life plans? If, having passed
through the events Of the Passion
week, and experiencing in thought the
glory of the resurrection morning, we
do not attune our lives to diviner
key, and bring more of heaven into
our everyday pursuits. are we not
worse rather than better for these
experiences2
