There's te Dinner Bell!
What a clattering and a chatter
ing as the children answer the din
ner bell and rush into the dining
room. Oh! the gratification a good
appetite affords as our noon day's
meal is set before us. But this va

that is Uncle Charley's seat. Guess
he don't feel like eating, he's got
dyspepsia, you know." Dyspepsia !
horrors! Deliver us from dyspepsia.
What's the use of being plagued
with such an ailment anyway?
What's the use having a stomach so
irritated and sore that even one bite
of food gives it. distress? Why not

tation and strengthen its luustular
processes, by using Botanic Blood
Balm. Will "it cure? It certainly
will. Many, many a former dyspep

Children's Day.
Yesterday being "Children's Day,"
the services at Grace M. E. Church
were devoted to the young folk.
Appropriate and extensive 'prepara
tions had been made for the occa
sion, and as a result the exercises
were interesting and were listened
to by a large and delighted congre

was very fine and would have re
flected credit upon much older and
more experienced singers.
ATnought.
The young man who persists in
entering church after the sermon
