In other words, during the prevalence of LaGrlppc persons who suffer from Indigestion or stomach troubles are al mott invariably victims of the epi demic. This can be readily understood when you remember that the germs of any disease cannot gain a foothold In the system of a man or woman who la blessed with perfect digestion because perfect digestion means perfect health, and such persons can bid defiance to La Grippe, or to any other prevailing epidemic. For this reason physicians have re cently introduced Into their practices the new preparation known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tub let i as an almost o-itulii preventive of La Grippe, us this remedy by giving perfect digestion and ussim llatiou of the food so furtlrles t tie sys tem against disease tliut all danger from this epidemic Is reduced to a mini mum.

Meaning of tho Word of Bishop and Divine Institution of the tiff Ice. The word bishop Is derived from the Greek cplscopos, which was used by writers of the earliest age In the gen era! sense of "overseer," and was spe cially applied In later Greek to the of He-era whom the Athenians sent to sub Ject states. In the LXX (E. g. Num. xxxl, 14; 2 Par. xxx, 12) episcopos Is used for an oincer or prefect of any kind. Christians adopted the word as the title of an ecclesiastical dignitary, with authority to rule a diocese as Its chief pastor. It Is therefore evident that a bishop Is superior to ordinary priests and as denned by the council of Trent, his superiority Is of divine instl t n t Ion. The divine Institution of the episco pacy was the belief of the Anglican church, as well as the Catholic, for a long period of time, and never has the former formally cast off this belief. Protestants, generally, do not pretend to nave otsnnps, or, ir they hove clergy men officiating In similar capacity, they do not attribute to them any authority further than that bestowed by the cnurcn. The word eplskopos is first used In the Acts of the Apostles, xx, 28. where St. faui says to the clergy of Kuhesus "Take heed to yourselves and to the wnnie llock. In which the Holy Ghost made you bishops." The contention of Protestant writers Is that the Greek eplskopos, or hislyvp and presbyter.were In the days of thesipostles synonymous terms, and that they corresponded In gtade of eclesiastlcal dignity to the ministers or clergymen of the present, ami inererore conclude that there wer no bishops in the modern sense of the term, BISHOP Or JERUSALEM. The following argument Is advanced by catholic writers to show that Ht lames the Less was bishop of Jerusa lem: In the year 44, when St. Peter was released from prison, he desired information to be given to James and the brethren. At the apostollo council James delivers Judgment ("wherefore I Judge.") St. Paul. In his epistle to the Galattans, describes Judaizera from Jerusalem as "certain who came from James," thus naming the church by Its Dii-nop; in Acts xxi, is. -St. Paul Is said to have made a formal visit to St. James and to his presbyters. Speaking on me question whether or not St. Jumes was bishop of Jerusalem, Dr. Light foot, bishop" of Durham, probably the ablest writer who ever attacked the apostolic origin of the episcopacy, says that St. James was "the precedent and pattern of the latter episcopate." The council of Trent says that a bishop Is the successor, of the apostles. Having received the sacrament of or der In all Its fullness, he can, like the apostles, confirm, ordain priests and consecrate other bishops. With refer ence to order, a bishop Is us high as the pope himself. It Is Incumbent upon a bishop to bear witness to the faith and tradition of his predecessor and of his flock, together with many other duties, all of which rights he exercises In union with and submission to the See of Peter. F.very priest throughout the diocese, when saying mass, prays for the bishop by name iu the Canon. In early times he was addressed as Most Holy, Most Ulessed, Lord (domlnus), Your Holi ness (sanclitas tua). These titles are now reserved to the pope. A bishop Is addressed by the pope as "venerable brother." The ornaments and Insignia of tho ofllec of a bishop are the pectoral cross. small tunic, dalmatic, ring, mitre, cro- iiler, premlal. gloves, stockings, slip pers, episcopal throne and poutllical vestments. The pectoral cross Is worn by the bishop on tile breast and recalls lo mind the custom of the first Chris tians, wlio ulways wore u cross sus pended from the neck. The small tunic! und (lalmutic are the two ornaments peculiar to the sub-deacou and 'dcucon and lire worn by the bishop to show thut ho Is clothed with the plenltudo of the priesthood. The ring signifies the alliance which the bishop contracts with his church In his eonHecvatloh, and the mitre Is an. ornament the ori gin of which dates back to the ancient law und slgnilies the- royalty of the priesthood: the two pieces' whirl) hang down on the shoulders signify the old nnd new testaments, with both of which the bishop mutt be perfectly conversant.

They signify that the bishops are successors of the apostles, those great missionaries who traversed the world to preach the gos pel. The episcopal throne stands In the sanctuary of the bishop's cathedral and Is occupied by him during the more solemn ceremonies of the church. Originally bishops were chosen bv the apostles. In the third century "by the vote of all the faithful and by the judgment of the bishops," says Cy prian. Popular election continued In the Latin church until the eleventh century. Later on the right of ap pointment was reserved to the popes in certain cases and still later entirely to them.

Mantle; vrho Is a teletrrapti operator,' had a station out on the divide. This was many year , ajro. Patsey Clark and a number o fellows with hlmi were polngr on farther west. They reached Mantle's place. and after some preliminary talk, they lVmalned with him for the night. They did not exactly promise, to cut up a lot , of wood that Mantle had stacked up ' for winter, but It was Mantle's under standing; that they - would do so. In the morning; they slipped away, leav ing Mantle out their board and night lodging. Blnce then both Mantle and Clark have prospered. Mantle Is Unit ed States senator and Patsey haa a hoi In the ground In Idaho which pays, him $76,000 a year. ,
