The prompt, effective, and hone3t ! results that are alwavs obtained bv the users of Paine's Celery Com pound, call forth the grateful and unstinted praise of clergymen of all denominations. In every parish and district of our land, clergymen are quietly but surely spreading the joyful intelligence that Paine's Celery Compound banishes ill health and makes sick people well. Like men and women in other professions and in the ordinary callings of life, church ministers are victims of the same ailments and diseases. When oppressed by sufferings and agonies, it is cheer ing to note that our clergymen have implicit confidence and faith in Dr. Phelps' life-giving prescription, NEW SCANDAL SHAKES FRANCE Said That Carthusians Were Ex pelled Because They Refused To Pay. Paris, May 14. A widespread scandal is promised as a result of investigations into the charge of bribery in connection with the ex pulsion of French religious orders. The charge is brought against M. Edgar Combes, son of the president of the council. It is made in a letter published in The Pett Dauphinois, of Greno ble, and reproduced in The Figaro over the signature of M. Joseph Besson in much the same style as the lale M. Zola wrote his famous letter "J' Accuse." M. Besson affirms that the Car thusians were expelled from France because they would not pay a bribe of $200,000 with which the expul sion law introduced by the premier was to have been circumvented. M. Besson further declares that the proposals for the payment of this sum were made on behalf of M. Edgar Combes, who was promised a commission of $20,000 if he were successful in persuading the monks to pay the bribe. The offers were made by a M. Andre Verwoort.

Brantley, Summertown, Ga., telle how he was raised from a condition of suffering and great danger: "Before using Paine's Celery Compound I was continually suf fering with sick and nervous head ache, and it was a common occur rence for me to sleep little or none at night. Often have I arose in the morning with a severe headache and inactive mind, prostrated witU nervousness from the loss of sleep. Now I can sleep well at night, have an active mind, and can study tea hours a day, while before I could study but a short while at a time. I certainly feel grateful for such medicine as Paine's Celery Com pound." - CHINESE ASK PRESIDENT FOR SCHOOL PRIVILEGES They desire to Be Admitted ccl Equality With Other Nationalities.
