The Famous Fruit Medicine
De Nova, Colorado.

De Nova, Colorado. I have just come here from Van couver, B. C.. and have been taking your wonderful fruit medicine, Fruit atives" for two years. No other medi- cine answered my requirements like yours.
 Nine years ago, was in an accident and the lower portion of my bowels are paralyzed; therefore. I need a medicine that does not lose it's effect, and I have been absolutely satisfied with "Fruit-a-tives" since I began taking them"
 MRS. c. c. REMINGTON.
 Now, you might think that any medicine which is strong enough to move the bowels when they are para lyzed, would be too powerful to be used by a person suffering with ordinary Constipation. Yet Fruit a. tives" is regularly taken by children young boys and girls, men and women of all ages, without pain, griping or other ill-effects. Because 'Fruit-a- tives" is a genuine fruit medicine made from the juices of fruit, and gains it's peculiar power to cure Con- stipation because of this fact.

The man of life upright.
 Whose guiltless heart is free From all dishonest deeds.
 Or thought of vanity; The man whose silent days
 In harmless joys are spent. Whom hope can not delude,
 Nor sorrow discontent; That man needs neither towers Nor armor for defense. Nor secret vaults to fly
 FCom thunder's violence: He only can behold
 With unaffrighted eyeH The horrors of the deep
 And terrors of the skies. Thus, scorning all the cares
 That fate or fortune brings He makes the heaven his book
 His wisdom heavenly things Good thoughts his only friends. His wealth a well-spent age- The earth his sober inn

Presbyterian Pastors

Several hundred Presbyterian minis.
ters and elders and their wives heard
the Rev. DR.. Francis L. Patton, ex.
president Of Princeton University and
Princeton Theological Seminary, give
the first of series of Ave lectures last
evening in Calvary Presby byterian Church.
Locust above Fifteenth street. DR..
Patton spoke on The Fact Of Moral
Oblisatioiy-Do We Have It?"
Speaking Of the Darwinian doctrine,
DR.. Patton declared It "was never
meant by its discoverer to cover the
genesis Of moral ideas" being intended
to apply to the physical structure OF
animals. DR.. Patton added that men
are not as satisfied as they used to be
"that the Darwinian theory of the
origin Of species is the true theory" "
Scientific opinion, he said, 10 divided
between three theories, and since there
ID no universal acceptance Of Darwin q
theory It is not unfair to call It ian
untrue hypothesis."
Dr.. Patton win speak In Calvary
Church every evening this week except
Saturday.
