Another red!~nlus food fad has

pelled the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain,
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones* A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, its nutri
ment is destroyed by indigestion or
dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their
comming by taking regular doses of
Green's August Flower, tne favor

A few doses aids digestion, stimu

of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. I con
cluded to try it and while I had no
faith in it I felt better after the

What this Gentleman Says Is a
Mere Statement of facts
No one can have any reason for
dissenting from the particulars and
and proofs which follow, for verifi -
cation of the same is within easy
reach of every resident of this vi
cinity. That Doan's Kidney Pills
promptly and effectually cure kid -
ney complaints is substantiated
not only in this particular case, but
by all who have given them a fair
trial. Testimony likewise shows
that you do not have to take them
indefinitely to be cured.
Walier McLachlin a machine
hand, employed at J. Holiday &
Sons planing mill, Wheeling, W
Va , address 3032 Jacob street, says
"Had I not used Doan's Kidney
Pills when I did I wonld not be
alive now. I was in a terrible con
dition, and although I took quarts
of medicine I got no better, but
worse. Friends spoke of my bad
appearance and thousands knew
about it. I could hardly get around
and felt and looked like a dead
man more than a living one. Doan's
Kidney Pills were a blessing to me,
half a box relieved me, three boxes
entirelv cured me and now I teel
as though my back was as strong
as that of any horse in Wheeling.

Cling to the Pillar#.
While the world is not so bright as
the words of Christ has promised it
should be, we should not desert the
teachings of Christ. The pillars of our
faith can l>e found in the answer made
bv Peter to Christ. Peter said that
there was no alternative. We must face
this question squarely, for by compro
mise we would take a long step toward
hypocrisy. There is, then, uo other
creed that promises so much or has
accomplished so much as Christianity.
?Rev. Dr. S. A. Martin, Presbyterian

Need of Self Examination.
Let us examine ourselves; let us be
honest as we examine into the evidence
of departed blessedness. A man is
really what lie is when he is alone with
God. There is no ear listening that
he wishes to captivate, no eye that he
seeks to favor, .lust as you are with
God. that you are really and will tiud
yourself to be <?u the last day. So join
drooping may be traced. A life with
out religion fades. What water is to
the plant, what winding is to the
watch, just that Is prayer to the Chris
tian. There may have been tinier

walk with Cod:" if this is your spirit
