FOUNTAIN LAKE PARK

The Methodist Episcopal church
was again opened on Easter day, the
interior, since its close some weeks
ago, has been beautifully decorated
by Hipsley Brothers. The neat ap-
pearance of the church added very
much to the enjoyment of the serv-
ices, especially when it is taken into
consideration that at the morning
service thrty-two new members were
received into the church, several COM
ing by letter from other points, and
still others to come in later who have
not yet received their letters of trans
fer. Then at night Rev. Parrish gave
splendidly illustrated lecture on the
Man of Galilee.
Mrs. Chance is adding quite an ad-
dition to one of her cottages.
Mrs. Rachel Laughlin has returned
to her cottage here after having spent
the winter in Keyser, West Va.
The Park is taking on its robe of
green after the long dark wintry sea-
son that has passed.
1t is quite gratifying to know that
the community has a home laundry
at which we can get all our work done
without having to send it away.
Quite a number of our people are
reroofng their homes and otherwise
improving them.

THE TORTURE Of
INDIGESTION
Thousands Relieved by Taking
Fruit lives" Y
The Famous Fruit Medicine

What is Indigestion and what
causes it2 As you know, solid food
must be changed into liquid by the
stomach before it can be taken up as
nourishment by the blood.
The stomach acts as chuTn. 1t is
covered by a strong, muscular coat
and lined with a soft, delicate
membrane which secrctes the Gastric
Juice which digests or dissolves solid
food.
When food enters the stomach, the
muscular coat squeezes and presses
the food from end to end, or churns
it, with the gastric juice to dissolve
or digest it.
Buff the stomach muscles are
weak-or if the dissolving fluid is
poororinsuficient- then food cannot
be digested properly and you have
Indigestion.
"Fruit-a-tiues'' or '.Fruit Laxo Tablets
are made from concentrated and intenSi-
fed fruit juices and tones. They will
positively cure Indigestion and Dys-
pepsia because they tone up the
stomach, bowels, kidneys and skin,
and thus insure pure gastric juice
and improved digestion.
"Fruit-a-tiUes the only medicine made
from fruit juices, will correct your Indiges-
ton and enable you to enjoy eUery meal
Try this wonderful fruit medicine.

one of a little boy who saves his money
to buy license for his dog.
There are several books for children
that have lasting quality and that ought
to be in the hands of every imaginative
child One of these is the new one by
Hugh Lofting, "The Voyages of Doctor
Dol:ttle" (Stokes). This writer's first
book which appeared a couple of seasons
ago, met with acclaim. Here was some
thing fresh, full of play, written with a
joy in the work that told in the reading.
This is bigger and just as good, with pic
lures by the author that incite to loud
and spontaneous laughter, and a great.
quantity of the most astonishing adven-
lures. 1t is really funny, and it has the
kind of fun that admits of being read over
and over. Lofting has had the genius
needed to write real classic, and these
books of his will endure like the green
bay tree.
Another outstanding book is by an
Engishman, H. H. Blashford, and is called
Half Past Bedtime" (Houghton Mifflin).
To me it is one of the golden finds of the
season. 1t reveals an imagination of the
most enchanting kind, true knowledge
of boys and girls, and it is written in a
mastery manner. AS for the actual story,
1t is a series of astonishing adventures
told in a matter of fact way that is ir-
resistible. The children all live in London
Square, but nothing prevents their en-

all a mingling of the utmost magic with

When our good friend, Dr. John- son, said: "Sir, woman's preaching is like a dogs walking on his hind legs: it is not done well. But you are surprised to find it done at all," he did not say anything about a woman being a lawyer and arguing her case in court.
 Indeed, had he lived in these par lous times, he would not only have been silent on this subject, as he'was then, but l dare say he would have even taken back" as the kiddies say, every single blessed word he said about woman's preaching.
 Because
 Both women preachers and women lawyers now invade successfully the fields 80 long appropriated to mere man, and not only invade them, but invade them successfully.
 Somebody even went so far once as to call Becky Sharp a "petticoatcd but briefless barrister," thus "throw- ing off" on the delectable Becky, yet at the same time according her Honorable mention" in the barrister class.
 Blackstone and Femininity
 The great Blackstone declared that the indispensable condition of becom- ing a lawyer requires one ITO scorn delights and live laborious days" which would seem to qualify against any female following the law as a profession.
 And yet. today. women lawyers ap- pear as counsel for the defense,"
 
 logical reasoning, never indulging in tergiversa ton. but always straight. direct, concrete.
 Which implications cannot always be laid at the feet of mere man.
 Who of us that has read with de- light Joseph c. Baldwin's Flush Times in Alabama and Mississippi" does not recall with genuine pleas ure the amusing recital of Ovid Bolus, past grand master in tho art of tergiversation. In the chapter de- voted to My First Appearance at the Bar"
 The case. if you recall. was 'HiS- ginbotham vs. Swink." and poor Ovid asks with trembling depression of the heart:
 Did you ever. gentle reader, get Q merciless barrister of the old school after you when you were on your first legs, in the cal1ow tender ness of your virgin epidermis?"
 The defendant was represented by old Caesar Kasm. if you remember, a famous character in those days, Mir. Baldwin tells us, and "vener- able limb of the law, a terror to his generations; sired high up on his paternal side by some prince or duke and damned on his mothers side by one or two Pocahontases."
 Nothing in all literature is more delightful than Baldwin's description of how old Caesar Kasm, nicknamed ''Sar- -Kasm," grilled and broiled and roasted and baked the poor young barrister, Ovid Bolus, and "eured him Of poetry forever and a day.
 All of which comes to mind as I wonder whether any mere woman, young, ambitious, absolutely fem
