GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY The Result of Imperfect Digestion of Food. Every living thing, plant or animal, contains within itself the germs of cer tain decay and death. In the human body these germs of dis ease and death (called by scientists Ptomaines), are usually the result of imperfect digestion of food ; the result of indigestion or dyspepsia. The stomach, from abuse, weakness, does not promptly and thoroughly di gest the food. The result is a heavy, Bodden mass which ferments (the firet process of decay), poisoning the blood, making it thin, weak, and lacking in red corpuscles ; poisoning the brain and causing headaches and pain in the eyes. Bad digestjon irritates the heart, cans ing palpitation and nnaliy bringing on disease of this very important organ. Poor digestion poisons the kidneys, causing Bright's disease and diabetis. And this is so becauee every organ, every nerve depends upon the stomach alone for nourishment and renewal, and weak digestion shows itself not only in loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak nerves and muddy complexion. The great Englieh scientist, Huxley, said the best start in life is a Bound stomach. Weak storr.achs fail to digest food properly, because they lack the proper quantity of digestive acids (lactic and hydrocloric) and peptogenic pro dncts; the most sensible remedy in all cases of indigestion, is to ta' e after each meal one or two of Stuart' Dyspep 'sia Tablets, because they supply in i pleasant, harmless form all the elements that weak BtomachB lack. The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure every form of stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach. They increase flesh, insure pure blood strong nerves, a - bright eye and a clear complexion, because all these result only from wholesome food well digested. Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets at 50 cents a full sized package or by mail by enclosing price to Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich., but ask your druggist first.

Our weekly wool report shows the mark a waiting one; merchants in general who have good lines of wool to offer are making no coneeesions for the purpose of disposing of the same. Sev eral offers have been refused during the week upon large lines of stock, as prices at which manufacturers wanted to pur chase were warranted on account of the strong undertone permeating the leading markets. Then again it would not be in con formity with the European strength in dicated at the present time at the Lon don auction sales, which have advanced the price of Merino wools, our previous sales from 1 to 10 cents per pound. Even this factor of strength asserting itself abroad, Aiiiirican values remain unchanged, although it has a tendency to stimulate coufiilence among holders of wool. Many bc-lieve we are nearing the end of the lng depression through which tho wool trade has passed during the last several months and that better timee will soon come to stay. All who are interested in wool must bear in mind that we are fast consuming the old stocks ot woolen goods and wool. and when these are absorbed, the new clip will be in demand. It is reported that another line of 200,000 pounds of Australian wool has been re-'shipped, and other lots will eoon follow. We have no reason to change our opinion therefore in regard to the future of the 6taple; everything looks favorable for improvement in wool soon, however this will depend greatly upon the unknown quantities of old stock that were carried over from last season, and which has been unquestionably the real cause of the long inactivity among wool circles in the leading markets. Air. Poling's First Sermon Here. Mr. Puling, in beginning bis work as newly-elected pastor of the Congrega tional church of this city, did not make anything like an introductory sermon ; but as one standing as an ambassador, charged with a message from his Master, began his pulpit service with the words of Jesus recorded in Matthew 26:45 46, "Sleep on now, and take your rest" and "Arise, let us be going." He ex plained the apparent contradictory na ture of the two mandates by Baying the first had reference to the work and duties of the past the irrevocable past and belongs to the order given before to "Watch therefore"; now the hour of arrest had come, nothing could change it ; watching waa of no avail ; those who wanted might take their fill of Bleep. Hut to others there were still duties and privileges the accompanying with sad sympathy to the judgment hall ; watch ing for the laet words of counsel that should come from the divine lips. To those the command to ''Rise, let us be going", was the next duty. Mr. Poling gave the application to those of us who had failed in "Watching" to let the dead past of sleep be enough, and to rise and do what work remained for us to do. lie held his large audience with great power, and it is believed that the new pastoral optns under most hopeful auspices.
