A GOOD PRACTICE.
If You Want q Good Appetite
and Perfect Digestion.

After each meal dissolve one or two OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in the mouth
and, ningling with the food, they constitute
a perfect digestive, absolutely safe for the
most sensitive stomach.
They digest the food before it has time to
ferment, thus preventing the formation of
gas and keeping the blood pure and free
from the poisonous products of fermcntcd,
half-digested food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the com
pIexion clear by keeping the blood pure.
They increase flesh by digesting flesh
forming foods.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
remedy designed especially for the cure Of
stomach trouble and nothing else.
One disease, one remedy, the successful
physician OF today is the specialist, the sue
cessful medicine is the medicine prepared
especially for one disease.
A whole ackageta ken at one time would
not hurt you, but would simply be a waste
of good material.
Over six thousand men and women in the
State OF Michigan alone have been cured OF
Indigestion and dyspepsia by the use of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

fills on Inspector Huilinberger's staff is

the property when possible, AID bring the
thieves to justice. In addition to this he
sends cards and circulars, descriptive OF
stolen wheels to bicycle dealers and re-
pairers in this city and the surrounding
country.
A number of machines have been re-
covered recently through Mr.1Boardman's
efforts, and today the rear Of the detective
office resembled a second-ha nd bicycle shop.
One of the wheels which are at headquar-
ters awaiting owners is .pu4Zler. II has
been so transformed by, the thief that it is
doubtful whether the owner coald recognize
it. This bicycle is now nontlescript, made
up of the parts of two other wheels OF diff
ferent manufacture, all three, no doubt,
being stoleu property. Although an expert
i'll cycling matters, Detective Boardman
confesses he cannot tell the name or make

Another bicycle discovered yesterday is
daubed all over even to the tires, with thick

1t is believed that the.e is an organized

They arc saying a lot of mean things
About their champions i'll Baltimore these

ORIOLES are To blame for the way they have
been frosted by the fans.
said he: Don't blame the Baltimore
public. The players have a great deal to
do with the latent interest in baseball. They
were treated too well the first year. and
now they expect too much. You know
there is such a thing as looking gift horse
IN the mouth. and that is what the Baltimore
players have been doing. They have lis
gustcda great many of their friends by heir
acliUus.'
