"Our friend, Samuel H.

In view of the fact that he is above 40 years 1of age his application was rejected. This came to him as gr<at disappoint- nient. His heart was H1 the matter and we feel, with many others. that Brother Davis possesses qualities that peculiarly fit him for the service he desires to enter. s
 Why should an active, robust min4 ister, only ,athttles above 40, be consid- cred as ctoo old to minister as army cna plain? Many will, ask. this ques- ton. Ct is the laW.9 Yet, after all is it not in keeping. with the spirit Of tlsese. times as manifested in the churches that reject candidates for pastoral service as. soon as their hairs begin to be sprinkled with gray?

In an effort to stamp out tuberculosis
 among cattle in Rhode Island. Dr. Fred

P In an effort to stamp out tuberculosis among cattle in Rhode Island, Dr. Fred W. Roland of the federal bureau of animal industry will administer tuber- Culin tests for the herds in the state. Dr. Roland will cover Connecticut as well as Rhode Island and the tests will hegin at once. Dr. Roland has obtain. ed the consent of owners of several large herds of fine. bred cattle for this expense The bureau announces that Rhode Island is very much afflicted with this disease among the cattle. which is a constant source of danger to babies and adults. The federal v6 terinarian test requires 30 hours for completure after the inoculation of the animal instead of the old 24 hour test, which is considered very unsatisfac- tory as to efficient and accurate re- suits. The government Vetenarian makes the test himself and issues certificate to the farmer whose herd has passed examination.
 If COW is found to be infected It must be separated from the herd, al though if it is a highly valuable ami nal it may be used for breeding pur- rcsess until the farmer can afford to Kill it, but the animal must be sep arated from ffle rest and the calf taken from its mother right after birth. This on the theory that government tests slow that the disease is not heredi- tary but transrnittable- after birth. The government will undertake to inspect ard test all future purchases of ami pa ssed examination thus insuring p1 actical immunity for the nerd from later infection by the addition of other cattle

acid STOMACHS
ARE Dangerous
NrEE-THNTHs OF ALL STOMACH
TROUBLE DUE TO AoIDITy.
Says New York Physician

A New York Physician who hss made
special study Of stomach and intestinal
diseases, ssys that nearly al Intestinal
troubles, as we'll Is many diseases OF the
vital organs, are directly trHceable TO
deranEed condition Of the stomach. This
in turn Is due about nine times out %
ten 20 excessive acidity, commonly termed
sour stomach or heartburn, which not only
irritates and indames the delicate lining q
the stomach but may cause gastrtis and
dangerous stomach ulcers, Il Is interesting
to note that he condemns the use OF patent
medicines, and practically all medical treat
ment that is designed TO act upon the stom-
aeh lining, stating that the best results are
which acts upon the contents Of the stomach
and neutraliEes the acidity OF the food, thus
removing tho source Of the trouble. As an
antacid he prescribes primary bisurated
magnesia. He contends that IL Is as foolish
to treat the stomsch itself as u would Be
for a man who stepped on a tack TO rub
liniment on the foot without first removing
the tack. Remove the tack and the foot
will heal iself-neutralize the acid and the
stomsch troubles will disappear. Irritating
medicines and medical treatments are useless
so long as the contents OF the stomach re-
mains acid; remove the acidty and there
will DO no need for medicine-the inhamed
lining OF the stomach viii then heal itself.
/ Sufferers from noidity, sour stomach and
heartburn should get a small bottle Of bi.
surated maRnesia from their druggist and
/ take teaspoonful in a quarter o. glass
/ OF hot or cold water after each meal, repeat
ing in fifteen minutes, II necessary, this be-
/ ing the dose which the doctor has found
most effcaeious in all cases.
