Compulsory Chapel.
MUSCATINE. Ia., Feb. 11. (Special Tel
egram. )The third day's session of the
biennial state ceuivention of the Young
Men's .'hrlstlan association was held here
today.
Tho place of meeting two years from
now is still In the hands of the state ex
ecutive committee, but In all probability
Sioux City will be the next placj of meet
ing. "
The conference of college delegates was
held this afternoon, led by J. R. Board
man of New Y'ork, secretary of Interstate
work. The compulsory college chapel was
condemned in nearly every case. "You
can't make a man worship his Creator.
He cannot be driven to chapel and com
pelled to sit there for fear of losing
a credit and obtain good from the meet
ing. In nearly every case it Is harmful,
but in others It does Immeasurable guud.
A college man should go to chapel the
same as If he were attending an ath
letic event and as willingly."
At a meeting this morning led by C. C.
Mlchner of New York it was decided to
raise $7,000 for the state work during
the coming year. Of ' this amount $4,000
was raised during the morning session.
President A. B. Storms of State college
was appointed to fill vacancy on the state
committee today. The session will close
tomorow evening when D. Gordon of

Is great enthusiasm amongst the delegates
from the different colleges of the state.

Also a Few Facts on tho Same Subject.
We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hyglenlo living, about vegetarian
ism and many other fads along the same
line.
Restaurants may be found in the large
cities where no meat, pastry or coffee Is
served and the food crank is In his glory,
and arguments and theories galore ad
vanced to prove that meat was never In
tended for human stomachs, and almost
make us believe that our sturdy ancestors
who lived four score years in robust health
on roast beef, pork and mutton must have
been grossly Ignorant of the laws of health.
Our forefathers had other things to do
than formulate theories about the food they
ate. A warm welcome was extended to any
kind, from bacon to acorns.
A healthy appetite and common senso are
excellent guides to follow In matters of diet,
and a mixed diet of grains, fruits and
meats Is undoubtedly the best.
As compared with grains and vegetables,
meat furnishes the most nutriment in a
highly concentrated form and is digested
and assimilated more quickly than vege
tables and grains.
Dr. Julius Remmson on this subject says:
Nervous persons, people run down in health
and of low vitality, should eat meat and
plenty of It. If the digestion Is too feeble at
first It may be easily corrected by the regu
lar use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
each meal. Two of these excellent tablets
taken after dinner will digest several thou
sand grains of meat, eggs or other animal
food In three hours, and no matter how
weak the stomach may be, no trouble will be
experienced if a regular practice Is made of
using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because
they supply the pepsin and dlastaae neces
sary to perfect digestion, and every form
Of indigestion will be overcome by their use.
That largs Vlass of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and Insure Its
proper digestion, by the dally use of a safe,
harmless digestive medicine like Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, composed of the natu
ral digestive principles, pepsin, diastase,
fruit acids and salts, which actually per
form the work of digestion. Cheap cath
artic medicines, masquerading under the
name of dyspepsia cures are useless for In
digestion as they have absolutely no effect
upon the actual digestion of food.
Dyspepsia in its many forms Is simply a
failure of the stomach to digest food, and
the sensible way to solve the riddle and
cure the dyspepsia Is to make dally use at
meal time of a preparation like Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, which is endorsed by
the medical profession and known to con
tain active digestive principles.
Al) druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets at 60 cents for full treatment,
