Look it your tongue. Is it costed ?

Then you have a bad taste in your mouth every morning. Your appetite is poor, and food distresses you. You have frequent hesdsches and are often dizzy. Your stomach is weak and your bowels are always constipated.

There's an old and reliable cure:

Doa'f cake a cathartic done and then stop. Better take a laxathre dose each night, fust enough to cause onegood freemove- ment the day following.

You foal better the very next dey. Tour epptetlte returns, your dyspepsia la cured, your headaches pass away, your tongue clears up, your liver acts wall, and your bowels no longer ihre you trouble.

i which his subjects were to la* gov- i erni-ii. nn«i just ns often iind he s|Miki*n i in distinct and iineriiiiviiratiiig terms I I'onivrning tin*!*** miaii inten-stlng i i|u«-stii>ns. Mini hy iinrnhlennd luiracl**.I in which were cpitomixeil tin* great truths of his newly i*onstrnct«Nl cm-

I pin*. iiupn*ss(*ii u|Mm all who assein*' i»l**d to listen to him. not only thela-auty ami il**sirahility of this king-

II loin, hilt what man must do to las'iim** a snhjrct of it and the laws hy which he must In* governed.

Christ came into the world to estub- Hsh a kingilom. or to set into o|N-ration a iiioveiiieiit wiiich in time would aetiialiM* th** Kingtiom of ImmI ii|Min earth. This kingdom is |M-«*uHar to itself. |>artakitig as it dta*s of tli|* nature of tile King, and tin* laws laid down iiy tilt* Killer of this spiritual einpin* an* not siibje*‘t to change, hut expn*ssiiig as they do th** mind of the King must l■omnlaml th** res{N*et and olN‘iiit*ne** of all who lN-«*ome the suh- i*ets of it. Heiiee Christ said. “Ye an- iny frieiiils if y«* do whalsiN*ver I i**uii* maud yon." and .lohii says in tin* Kevelatioii. “If any man shall take ;iway fnuii the w-onis of tin* IsNtk of this pntph(*ey.

Hismissing fnun pn*si*in isuisidera- tion till* isiiiiii and to pnuniilgnte the gos|N*l 1 desin* to e*mHm* my attention to tilt* oniinHn*'i* of liaptism.

.My first pni(Ntsition is this; That Christ institnt**«l for his dis**ipl***. an «*xternal rit** eaH**il l>aptisiii. Tin* first meaning of the wonl “institiit**" JO- gi%'«*n hy \\ «*hst**ris “to**stnhlish," “to appoint," “to i*na**t." to form and pn*scrilN* 'as to institute laws t** institute rules and n^gnlatlons. “ Th** id**a is two-fold. It is tliat of Isith apiNiintmeiil ami n*«|uirement. it is to designat** s*init- act and isumnand its |N*rformnnee as in legislation. .\n

. enaetiiieiit of isingress is not simuly : description, but also law. In this I SCUM* Christ in-stitut***! for his diiwi- ples an ontwani rite which was eallc*!

One day I was ridtnp out ou a donkey, and the ynutijc prince was walklnp. wiien we ehancetl to meet, ami trouble followeil. The priuce approached me and. oalrhlui; me by tbe lee. pulled me from the aaddie.

I'atiie to bis rescue. 1 cannot deny tiuit tbe prince got the tlrat fall when he pnlleil me from tbs donkey, but all the rest of tbe honora were eaally mine. It Is not of record Just wliat happened to me after It was all over, hut I liave just a haay recol- lactioii of a meeting with my aged uncle that cnde«l in disaster for me.

‘'That tight mn«le the Prince of Wales my friend for life. Ijong after that meeting in IiotIummI be happened to learti tliat I wn* in need of tluaudal aid. and lie lost no time in sendiug mo a cheek for n prtne«*|y sum.”

Two days after tba appearanc** of tba box of all «lay suckers Maggie llellly came into tbe posaeastonof two iiennia*. It was liellevad by some tbat such wealth was not come by hooestiy. but this statement was frowned down, not for aoy faith In Maggie Reilly's honesty. but simply tiacauaa curiosity cou- quare«i all other feeliogs.

With these two penules she invaded | the sacred realms of Tommie Doyle’s | randy shop. After much «lehate It liad i been deride*! that she should l*e accom- j panied by Iaiu Rlrkius. her tiosom | friend. Tbe little liell rang with an awe Inapirtag clatter as tbe two foriti- Date ones entered tbe sacred iMirtal. Once inside, they gased with wide eysa and o|ieii mouth on the slrangt* treasures that lay before tbetn.

In a way tbe sight was dlBap|M>lDthig. Mrs. Doyle was acnihhlng tbe lloor when they atnuiblad ami sbuin**d In, but sbe wiped her hands and arms ou | ber mat apron aud got up fruui tier | knees when sbe saw they were cum 1 tomers.

The’Puritan is the liest and most economical stove to lie had for summer cooking. It is absolutely safe and odorless.

An im]iortant feature over other stoves is, that the valves are at the side, which avoids the discomfort and danger of reaching over the luit flame to operate it. These stoves have four-inch burners where others have smaller ones, which giv<^ the Puritan great advantage in (|uick cooking. The large shelf on the stoves will lie found convenient. Every stove is guaranteed to give satisfaction.
