APPLYING SEPARATION LAW French Minister Tells How Churches Will Be Regulated. ' PARIS, Dec. 1. M. Bryand, Minister of Public Instruction, has addressed a circular to the Prefects instructing them as to the conditions under which public worship may be carried on after December 11, when the law of associa tions goes into effect. He explains that, if congregations default In the formation of associations, religious services will come under the law of 1881 as public meetings, but that, as such differ in many points from meet ings, it is the duty of the authorities to adopt 'the law in order to facill- Stomach Sufferers Squander Millions In Search of Relief. The world Is full of disordered stomachs and 90 per cent of the money spent upon phs-sicians and drugs' goes in an attempt to cure the stomach. People are made to believe' that in order to gain health they must doctor their stomachs and use cathartics. So the doctor gets his fee for the stomach treatment and the druggist for the physic, until the savings of a life time are exhausted and yet no cure. Let's be reasonable. The sick stomach is in every case the result of over-eating, hurried mas tication and improper choice of foods. The mucous lining all the way down the food tract loses its sensitiveness, and when food is forced down the muscles fail to respond. They do not churn the food as they should. The glands no longer give out gastric juice to dissolve the food and render it capable of assimilation. The man has become a dyspeptic. There is one sure way and only one to bring positive relief. Put Into that stomach, of yours the very elements that it lacks to get that food into liquid form. It takes pepsin, diastase, golden seal and other ferments to ac complish this. The healthy stomach contains these elements. The dyspep tic stomach lacks part or all of them Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet is made up of just what the' dyspeptic stomach lacks nature's digestives. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a medicine, not a drug, not a cathartic. They do not cure anybody of anything but Dyspepsia and Indigestion and such ailments as arise from poorly digested food. While they digest the food the stom ach recuperates. The mucous mem brane is coming out of its stupor, the gastric juice is coming to the surface, the muscles are regaining their power. Every organ of the body takes on new life, the skin gains color, and the eyes are no longer tinged with yellow. You! live. Why doctor and why drug yourself?
