will be taken later. The many extra calk of the Coron­

PAINS AFTER EATING- HEADACHES


When yonr he*d k doll nod henry, yoer tooKae furred, your bowels costire, and you


rise in the morning tired, with no rdish for breakfast and dreading your work; when yon are racked with pains-in the head, cheat, back, stomach—all orer; when you are bilious and unable to look at food; when you feel “ done up,” hare no appetite, no energy, no interest or ambition—year st$maek » n i l i t t r an n t $f »rd*r. As a result, the decayed products of undigested food art poisoning ytur Mood and sapping your vitality. It may be the weather, or ortrwork, errors in diet, or constitutional weakness ; but,


whatever the cause, your stoniadi and liver need help, and need it sorely. Mother Seigel’s Syrup, made from roots, barks and leaves, provides all the help they need. I t will tone up your stomach, renew your appetite, make food nourish you, purify your blood, stimulate your liver to healthy activity, regulate your bowals, and give you new strength, new energy, new life.


CAN ALWAYS BE CURED BY Mr . Lbowaxd OrBSN, The Polygon Cigar Stores, of 3*, Stockport Road, Ardwick,


Manchester, say s : “ In December, 1908, I began to suffer from indigestion. Food caused me fearful pain in my stomach, where it used to remain, a hard immovable mass. There was also a constant feeling of stuffiness, a difficulty in breathing, very uncomf.>rtable to endure. I t occurred to me that it would be batter for me if I ate as little as possible, so I restricted my diet to such a degree that, for lack of food, I became quite weak ; and that, too, without my power of digestion being much improved. Such was my state of health when I bought my first bottle of Mother Seigel’s Syrup. I t did me good, almost from the finst dose. Three or four bottles of the Syrup proved sufficient for my lasting cu re .” April iS, 1910.


MOTHER ■' I' I ( iW. I l P . S .A . Mr. R. D. Clegg presided over our


meeting last Sunday. The Downham Ex­ celsior Male Voice Choir furnislied the music, which was of a high order.


I'he


Choir was led by Mr. J . A. Conyers, and Mr. H. Bums was the accompanist. Two pieces, “The Beleagured,” and “The Chapel," were given by the choir; a solp, “When lire ebb tide lloVs,” by Mr. Wig- n..ll, and another, “Ye iieople rend your hearts,'' by Mr. C. Smith. Our speaker was Mr. T. J'letchcr, of Burnley, who gave a beautiful and striking .address on the lo.s- .son.s to be derived fron; the fiowers. His remarks were huer.sper.sed with apt quoia- tatioias from the poets.


.-Vmongst other


things he .said: “.Flowers are among.st the most beautiful things wo have in the world. They have many tilings to teach u.s if only wc have e;ir.s to he.ar. Wh.at do the flowers teach us ? What do they -teach us in regard to Cod? Everyth'mg we see in the VTOrld h:is a purpose of .some kind or other. Many are not good for foo<J or use as herbs. Cotl has .sent them to comfort man in his joiir- ney through the world. I.ook how womicr- ful is rhe common dandelion when .seen through the microscope. 1’lower.s leach us of the power of Ckid. Put your artificial flowers under the microscope, and you will see how different they are to natural Ikiw- er.s. To anyone who understands, the fiowers spell, “God ’ love.” What have the flowers to teach us about life? We admire the beauty of the flowers, and we ought to strive to mate our lives beautiful. Vice is always ugly; irirtue is always beau­ tiful. The character of Jesus is full of beauty. Let us pray the prayer of Moses: “Let the beauty of our God be upon us. Flowers teach us a lesson of iiurity, “ to keep our lives unspotted from the world. We meet with all kinds of men and have all kinds of inflneiices. The religion of Jesus will keep us unspotted. Flowers, though not all, teach us by their fragrance. Out of every life there ’ a force, like the fragrance of flowers, w call influence. You can extract the fragrance of fiowers and use it when they are gone. So the fragrance of a good life goes on after we leave tfie world. Flowers teach u that if there is to be any fragrance our religion must not be artificial. Flowers 'each us of immortality. 'I'hey perish, but the blossom is the promise of the fruit. So our body is like the faded petals of the flower, but afterwards there comes the immortal life.—^Con.)

CorresponCience. TH E DRINK BILL.


To iIk* .liuilor of tiie Clithuroe Advertiser. your istiue of the llith insi.,


appear some notes of an article by Sir -1. 1*. Whiiwker in ■•Ciissell's .M;ig.azine.'' 'I'lie article In question is so misleading that 1 rni.st )'uii will allow me to make a few coi- reclions. In the first place, it may he pointed out


tl):u a sum as great as that spent on alcoholic drink is spent each year on mineral waters, tea, coffee, soda water, etc. Tins is ex­ penditure for which there, is ah.solnicly no reiiirn, anil before .Sir T. 1’ . Whittaker labels tile money spent by the moderate drinker as waste, he ni ght usefully spend .some of his lime in restricting the inordin.ate ex|ienditiire of his teetotal frietids oti ginger beer, lemonade, attd tea—^artieles, none of whieh have any food value. It is. more­ over, absurd to .select one item of expetidi- utre titid l.-ihel it as waste. Wh.al alxmt the motley annually sjieiil on entertainments, or football, or illustrated papers? Why nor suggest that if wc .all gave up going to theatres, the money thus saved might be spent in equipping all the cripples in the United Kingdom with wooden legs? The whole idea is an absiirdify, and could not oeeiir to anyone whose mind was not oh.se.ssed by one tlieory to ilie exclusion of anythitig else. A great part of the motley spent on aleoliol is tisefully spent.


.As Ramsay


.Maedonalcl says; “.A very large proportion of the eonsiiinptioii of alcoholic liquor is made in the form of lood, and if it were stojiperi uanild result in a corresponding increase in the use of other miscelUuieous form.s of food anil liriiik.” “Tlie Hospital, ' our leading medical paper, says that a meal of bread and cheese and beer is much preferable, and far more nourishing than one_ of hreatl. and tea, and jam; a fact of considcralile inii>ortancc to the working man, wiiose dioice of foods is limited. There is no foundation for the statement


that any considerable portion of our pov- erp-, crime, or insanity can be traced to drink. We have it on the authority of the Right Hon. John Burns that not more than a very small percentage of the total poverty of the country, if any, is connected witli intemperance. The criminal statistics clearly negative the like assumption with regard to crime; whilst as' to insanity, the statement could in any case apply to none but alcoholic subjects, who form a very small portion of the population.

■To the Editor of the Clitheroe Advertiser. Dear Mr. Editor,—If you had happened


to be a Clitheroe Graimnar School boy in the days when their brainpans were adorned with mortar .boards, doubtless you would have been conduct^, with a l l , the,:pomp that could berinspired by th e Macebearer, two Halberdiers''and the Town Crier, 'to the Various' stones which then mark^' the' confines of the “Antient Boro’ of Qyder-, owe.” ,Iri -those! days a boys’ local- geo­ graphy was .impressed'.'on his memory by repeated pressings on the Borough stones—i


a process then blown a-s ''bumping.' Ibis practice has evidently been abandoned, atid X hear there has been a difficulty in estab lishuig the boundaries of some of the bor­ ough lands. There once stood such stone Upbrooks, whicli 1 have every reason to remember, as, after being formally in­ troduced to tills stone, with due ceremony 1 was noticed “to st.aiul or sit imeasily neif day'.' This' stone lias, unfortunately, like most of my compeers, gone as Hans Breit mami would say, “Alay hi ze Efigkeit. 'I'here is a passage, ■ a much repected old book, which reads, “Cursed be he who I'emoveth liis iieighboui’s landmark.' wonder if this .applies to borough boundat' ies? If so, 1 am afraid some people are either very ignorant or else they hold their land in fear and trembling. It is true that the borough (Parliament­


ary) has been extended beyond Pendle, but that makes no difference to the borough hands and their boundary marks. The cart road Upbrooks formerly entered


the brook at Duck street, but since weirs have been constructed for manufacturing purposes, the road now turns in at Waterloo and then over tlie spot where the well remembered stone stood—but there is no reason for leaving he spot unmarked, at least have not forgotten it. The Clitheroe ratepayers have now the right to bathe, and if furnished with proper


credentials, to fish o; the banks of the river below Pig Hill; and I note that at times they have barely elbow' room on this length, and their comfort and pleasure is not enhanced by louts who are better fed than taught, throwing stones hito the river from the park walks. Oh, shade of Dr. Powell! Would they not have been horsed oil the following Saturday morning, when all accounts were wiped off for a clear slate and quiet conscience at the commence­ ment of a new' week? 'That the local anglers appreciate the prii'ilege, is amply proved by their num-


jiers; hut why do not the Corporation e.xtend the fishing length and include the length on the sewage farm, and the banks of the Corporation land below Edisford Bridge? This last piece seems to be in the hands of the Blackburn Anglers’ Assoc­ iation. Vice for Clitheroiiians, when the herbage alone is worth all that the Coipor ation get for the hind and fishing right! From enquiries, it would seem that other


Corporation rents are equally absurdly low. With advancing rates every year, it piuVa, ono think that Gur “Patres conscripti” have and do still continue to conduct the towrfs affairs on anything but a business basts,


and that they "take . . . thought for the mor­ row ’ in a too literal sense. If the borough lands and belongings had


l i f ? administered, I venture to assert that Clitheroe rates should have been at least two to three shillings in the pound lower than at present.


Yours, very respectfully, t r u u .c H ill-by-the-W ir/6 /1 1 . aters, FLY.

WOMEN’S ADULT SCHOOL. We had an interesting time last Sunday


afternoon when Mr. Geo. Hargreaves gave us some impressions of his visit to Yorlc Adult School Settlement. The Bible lesson on “The babe in the


manger,” and introduced by Mrs. Smitfi, showed us the manner of child Jesus was, and the importance of child life—wfiich is now occupying such universal attention. On Wednesday evening we had a con-


t'muation of Mrs. Sagar’s lecture on “Nurs­ ing in the home,” and also demonstrations .showing many of the practical points which are .so important. The lecture was much appreciated. Ne.xt Sunday we are looking forward to


the report.s of our two delegates who aftend- cd tlie quarterly conference and lecture school at Blackburn.— (Con).

IF "YOU DO, the following may be of ]>o>sible interest to you.


It is ralher an overdone Ftatcment to f-ay “ one

comparing the ” article ” and the “ price.” What we do say is this------You cannot possibly


obtain goods at a less price than we are offering them for, “ unless they are sold at a lose.” In


Sideboards, Overmantels, Hall Stands,


we particularly invite your inquiries. We have a large number,
