Rev. D. P. Jones nt Uticn.
Concerning the visit of Hov. D. P.
Jones, of the Tabernacle Congregational
church, to Utlca, N. Y recently, the
tltlca Dally Press, of December 23, had
the following to say!
"Not In many years has the congre
gation of tlethesda church had tlm
pleasure of listening to belter or more
forceful sermons than they did on
the last two Sundays, when Hov. David
P. Jones, of Scranton, Pa., occupied the
pulpit. Mr. Jones' appeals are eloquent,
effective and Interesting and his ser
mons are full of Inducements to sin
ners to embrace religion. Ills subject
yostcrdny morning was Hebrews lv:l(5,
and In the evening ho took for his
theme Luke xlv:23: "And the Lord
said unto the servant, go out Into the
highways and the hedges, nnd con
strain them to come In, that my house
may bo tilled." Among other things ho
said: First, the aim of the parable
was to call all sinners, under all cir
cumstances of lire, unto Christ; second,
the mission of the church Is to teach
all nations the principle or the life of
Christ as the fundamental principle of
success In all respects; third, that the
church Is working slowly but surely,
but wo should thank the Lord for his
Gospel. It Is the best way to meet the
needs of men and women as shiners."
In his closing remnrks Mr. Jones made
a strong appeal to young men, nnd In
vited them to become members of the
church before they are lost forever."

Heart Qisas
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid Increase of Heart
Trouble.
Heart trouble, at least among the
Amei leans, Is certainly Increasing and
while tills may be largely due to tho
excitement nnd worry of American
business life. It Is more often the re
sult of weal; stomachs, of poor diges
tion. Real organic disease Is Incurable, but
not one case In a hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between he irt
trouble and poor digestion Is because
both organs aro controlled by the same
great nerves, the Sympathetic and
Pneumogastrlc. ,
In another way, also the heart Is af
fected by tho form of poor digestion '
which causes gas fermentation from i
half digested good. There is a feeling
of oppression and heaviness in the
chest caused by pressure of the dls-
tended stomach on tho heart and lung,
Interfering with their action; hence
arises palpatatlon and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making It thin aud watery, which Irri
tates and weakens tho heart.
The most sensible treatment for heait
trouble Is to Improve the digestion and
to insure promtp food assimilation.
This can be done by the regular uo
after meals of -otne safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation like Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be
found at most drug stores, and which
( ontains valuabl", harmless digestive
elements In a pletsant, convenient form.
It is safe to fix,' that the regular per
sistent use of SUiurt'H Dyspepsia Tub
lets at meal time will euro any form of
stomach trouble trccopt cancer of the
stomach.
