COOKING.

1t Is an old adage. That the
shortest way 10 a mans heart IS
through his stomach,
1t is useless TO find this road,
however, If the stomach is not in
good working order.
If there be irritation. liz it re-
fuses to act.
If you are tormented by dys-
pepsia, that avenue to your heart
is closed.
The result is, that you will be
impatient, fretful. irritable, wasp
ish, disagreeable.
The world is out of joint and
with all your effort, you cannot
set it right
No man carries such a burden as
the dyspeptic.
He can, however, be cured.
Let him take the Laxative Gum
Drops freely for day or two snd
he will find the most gratifying
results.
There is nothing in the world
so good for the digestion, as these
gum drops.
They regulate, they do not tear
in pieces.
Get them of any dealer.

PL LEASIIRE AND PROFIT

The desire for residing in climate
possessing qualities alike adapted to the
benefits of people of weak lungs, catarrh,
delicate thrOats, ETC., is growing stronger
from year to year. The mere accumuIa-
tion of money at the expense of health is
not regarded in the same favor as form
erly. The combination of pleasure and
profit is now regarded as most desirable
In no place in America is there point
where this combination exists to a greater
degree than Galveston county, Texas The
wonderful growth of North Galveston and
the handsome profits that are being stead
lily made there, both by capitalists and
men of small means, has been attracting
