Acid stomachs are dangerous be- cause too much acid irritates the deli- cate lining of the stomach, often leading to gastritis accompanied by serious stomach ulcers. Food fer- ments and sours, creating the dis- tressing gas which distends the stom- ach and hampers the normal func- tions of the vital internal organs, of- ten affecting the heart. It is the worst of folly to neglect such a serious condition or to treat with ordinary digestive aids, which have no neutralizing effect on the stomach acids. Instead get from any druggist a few ounces of Bisurat- ed Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water right af- ter eating. This will drive the gas, wind and bloat right out of the body, sweeten the stomach, neutral- ize the excess acid and prevent its formation and there is no sourness or pain. Bisurated Magnesia (in pow- der or tablet form---never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach, in- expensive to take and the best form of magnesia for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indigestion. 7Z7BURNS FOR SCALDS. CUTS AND esia by D® THOMAS® * ECLECTRIC Sabbath Question Untangled Kingston, March 19.--(To Editor): With your permission will reply to Mr. Wehman, He says we are both right and both wrong, then adds: "Lindsay says the Sabbath is the seyenth day, he is right. Dr. Lake says as to any day, in that he is wrong." Now what does he mean? Lindsay Is right. Dr. Lake is wrong. They are both right and both wrong, and then ' quotes from Proverbs: "A fool is known by many words." I read another scripture which says: "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he." (not the other fellows). Prov. 23:7. Mr. Editor, of all the letters that have been written on this subject, Mr. Wehman's is the most nonsensi- cal of them all. , When God made the world He knew it was round; see Isa. 40:22, which says "he sit- the | teth upon the circle of the earth." The Lord gave the Sabbath to man when He finished his work of crea- tion and told man to be fruitful and replenish (or fill) the earth. Gen. 1:28. And to say that God blessed and sanctified a Sabbath and com- manded man to keep it when He had made it impossible, is to charge God with foolishness. The confusion he makes in regard to the day line and the Sabbath re- minds me of that statement that language is sometimes used to com- ceal thought rather than fo convey it. For the benefit of Mr. Wehman 1 will give a brief explanation of the day line which is the 180th meri- dian of longtitude from Greenwich The day line is one of the very simple problems of life, so simple in fact, that I have often explained it without difficulty to children. In- stéad of it being a matter for comn- fusing minds, and causing a loss in the count of the days of the week, it is the one thing that prevents any and all disturbances in our reckon- ing. It is a great regulator, preserv- ing to all the nations of the earth the identity of our days. The revolutions of the earth it- self, as measured at fixed localities, are what measure and number the days, not the revolutions that may be indicated in tHe diary of a travel- ler. A person travelling east or west around the world puts himself at variance with the numerical order of its revolutions as computed at any fixed point; and that variation must be corrected when he reaches his destination and that is all the question there is involved in keep- ing a definite and identical day on a round earth. Attending to this one point, a person need never lose the definite day. To illustrate: Let us suppose =a man to start from some point which we call A, and travel eastward. Sup- pose he is able to make the circuit of the earth, and come back to his starting point, in just tem days. Every day, of course, he is carried around by the revolution of the earth. But travelling, as he 1s, with the earth, from west to east, he each day gains upon it one tenth of its circumference; and in ten days he would gain tem tenths, or a whole circumference. Thus when he ar- tives at A, he finde that those who have remained there, have marked ten revolutions of the earth, and have had ten days of time. But the earth has taken him around as many times as it has them, and in ad- dition to that, he has passed around once himself, which is the same as another revolution for him, making eleven, and giving him, according to his calendar, as he has kept it from day to day, eleven days imstead of ten. What shall he do with that ex. tra day? Drop it out of the count. Why? Because he knows that the earth itself has made but ten revo- lutions, as marked at A; and the revolutions of the earth abstractly considered, not the times he may go round it, mark the days and he must make his count correspend to that of the earth wherever he is. And going west vice versa. Bat let me say there is no such thing as gain- ing or losing time, The expression is unscientific, and indicates some- thing that is only apparent, not real. Now Mr. Wehman would have us believe that we actually gala or lose time travelling around the world; but lpt me add according to his the- ory, suppose: Two men--twing -- start from New York to make the journey around the world, One goes eastward, the other westward, They finally come together again in New York, after a lapse of several nionths; but he who went eastward father; and if he travelled in the opposite direction oftem enough, he would trave] himself clear out of not possible to have a de- That Sabbath day may be In every land, At least those parts where mortal men reside (And no where else can precepts be applied), There was a place Where first orb of light Appeared to rise, and westward took its fight; That moment, in that place the day the began, And as he in his circuit westward ran, Or rather as the earth did eastward spin, To parts more Westward daylight did begin. And thus at different times, from place to place, The day began--this clearly was the case. And I should think a man must be a dunce To think that day began all round at once, : So that in foreign lands it doth ap- | | pear, There was a first day there as well as here, And if there was a first, the earth around, found. And thus you see it matters not a whit, On which meridian of earth we get, Since each distinctly had its dawn of light. And ever since, successive day and wight; Thus while our antipodes in dark- ness sleep, We here the true, primeval Sab- bath keep. A Sabbath day's journey is just | an old Jewish tradition. Jesus said | it is lawful (or according to law) to do well on the Sabbath day. Dis- tance doesn't count when it is to do good. - Any Christian can keep the Sabbath on a ship, in a tent or b | As sure as fate the seventh cal be | | greal convention meets to nominate a candidate for the presidency, there will be two or three men of out standing ability and reputation of- fering themselves for the suffrages of the delegates. These conventions in both parties number something over a thousand delegates. After the preliminary organization the conven- tion gets down to business, and the roll of states is called by the sec- retary in alphabetical order begin- ning, say with Alabama. As each state is called the chairman of that state delegation arises and an- nounces whether or not that state has a name to offer to the conven- tion. If it has no name, that state is passed and If it has a name some spell-finder takes the plat. form and presents the merits of his man. After the roll call is finished the balloting begins. Again the roll of states is called in the same order as before, and as each state is call- ed the chairman of that state dele- gation announces how the vote in his delegation stands. In the Re- publican party a majority vote of the convention names the presidential 'candidate, but in the democratic party a two-thirds vote of the con- vention is required to name a can- didate for the presidency. These 'conventions, as every one knows, are very great affairs, and the num- ber of outsiders who throng theretc from every whither will number, it may be, a hundred thousand and more. I have been privileged to attend several of these gatherings, and so am acquainted with the modus op- erandi. The vice-president is named in the same manner as the head of the ticket, but not until the contest for first place is ended. It might be sald in passing what very few people even in Yankee- land seem to know that such a the riverside, as Paul and Luke did. Acts 16:13. The council at Jeru-| salem was not dealing with the ten | commandments. Acts 15:20, 21. If Mr. Wehman thinks as he says he! has the Bible and the apostles for authority, why doesn't he give some scriptural reference on the subject? He talks about stoning a man for breaking the Sabbath, that was un- der the theocracy when God spoke directly to his people; but under the civil government, men are re- served till the day of judgment, then God will deal with transgres- sors of His law. II Peter 2:9; Jude 6. Mr. Wehman calls the law of God a low, degraded standard. Paul calls it holy, just, and good and spiritual. Rom. 7:12, 14. James calls it the royal law. James 2:8 and I believe Paul 'and James. And how can he have the fruits of the spirit with- out keeping the law? Gal. 5: 22, 23, for the love is the fulfilling of the law. Rom. 13:10. Let me ask who is under the law? He who broke the law, of course. At Portsmouth there is a place well filled with peo- ple who are under the law. Paul says: "Some are Ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. II Tim 3:7. Peter says in Paul's writings... .are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other seriptures, unto their own de- struction." Yours respectfully, --W. B. LINDSAY. M. S.BURNETTE WRITES He Tells How Woodrow Wil- son Reached the United States Presidency. Consul, Sask., March 19.--(To the Editor): The Latins have a phrase running like this: '""de mor- tius nil nigl bonum"--"unless good say nothing, of the dead. It is well, perhaps, that we keep this phrase in mind when we write of Woodrow Wilson. As a native of the state of New York, and a resident there until forty years of age, it Is only naturel that I should have same knowledge of the early .poli- tical history of Mr. Wilson, and of the successive stages which landed him in thse presidential chair. I might premise by. saying that Mr. Wilson, like more than half of the presidents, was a _political accident, pure and simple. There was a phrase about a hun- dred years since In the States which said: "Too smart a mean to be president." This saying originat- ed very likely about the time that the great Hemry Clay of Kentucky ran three times on the Whig ticket for president and was defeated each time. Any one familiar with Ameri- can knows that when the ------------ SN =~ At 80 Years of Age 'Was Troubled With 'thing as a presidential convention to flominate a candidate for the presi- | dency is something entirely outside of the American constitution, and there is no provision any where iu that great instrument for any such procedure. Our constitution makers never dreamed of any such thing. They made the most careful pro- vision for the election of president and vice-president from the electoral college and from nowhere else. This perhaps, is the most striking tact in American history. It/shows how Ilit- tle even these great men knew of some traits of human nature. The country had not been going a score of years before the party system was inaugurated in full flash, with the presidential nominating convention as its principal feature. But I have digressed. back, how did Woodrow come to occupy the chair at the White House? This is not a short story, and cannot be covered in a single article. William Jennings Bryan made Woodrow Wilson presi. dent out of whole cloth at Kansas city convention (I think that's the place) in 1912. And who To come Wilson name a man for the opposed to the so called ration of sixteen ounces of silver to one of gold. About the years, say from 1875 to 1880 thers appear. ed a new star on the political hori- zon of the state of Illinols, in the person of one W. J. Bryan, alias "Billy Bryan." He was elected to Congress from that state and at once became a noted fig- asive style of oratory, and for somewhat violent attack that on this or any other continent. such a man, the spokesman of Tam- many Hall, naturally brought Bryan into much prominence. tice was followed throughout country. great laboring masses, while the Republican party is largely made up of the more wealthy classes of soci- ety. What more natural then, than to suppose that the rank and file of the democracy would rally about the stafidard of Bryan as the new Moses who would lead them out of the wil- derness of plutocracy. I think that Mr. Bryan only served ong term in congress and them remoVed to Lincoln, Nebraska, which is still his home.
