"The habit Of tramping is Increasing
in tbe United Statese. From 10000 ten
years ago there are now 100000. The
increase is alarming TO those who face
social problems, and the worst OF 1t IS
that there is no way to stop 1t. Any
man can be a tramp and no nan can
say him nay.
The habit Of tramping comes upon
a man unexpectedly. When II Is
known that Is per ceent Of all tramps
come from the professions or have
trade. some idea can be obtained OF the
unexpectedness of the tramps Ire.

DANGER IN SODA.

Excessive Use.

Excessive Use.
Common soda is all right in its place
and indispensable in the kitchen and
for cooking and washing purposes, but
il was never intended for a medicine,
and people who use it as such will some
day regret 1t.
We refer 10 the common use or SODA

a habit which thousands or people
practice almost daily, and one which
is fraught with danger; moreover. the
saua Uuly gives temporary RELIEF ana II

and worse.
he soda acts as a mechanical lrrl-
tant TO the wall of the stomach ana
bowels and cases are on record where II

death by inflammation or perltonitls.
DR.. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia) an excellent prepara-
ton sold by druggists under the name
of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. These
tablets are large 20 grain loZenges'
very pleasant to taste and contain the
natural acids, peptones, and digestive
elements essential TO good digestion,
and when taken after meals they digest
the food perfectly and promptly be-
fore it has time to ferment, sour and
poison the blood and nervous system.
Dr. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets IN all
cases OF stomach arrangements and
finds them a certain cure not only FOR
sour stomach, but by promptly digest
ing the food they create healthy ap-
petite, increase flesh and strengthen
the action Of the heart and liver. They
are not a cathartic, but intended only
for stomach diseases and weakness
and will be found reliat e in any stom-
ach trouble except cancer OF the
stomach.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at 30 cents per package.

1T comes upon a man by indulgence
in tramping. \ gentleman sends his
son to college. urges him to a profess
sion educates him to the required
notch, and then suggests that he go
away for a three months travelling
tour. He gives him about enough for
two months. This sum the young
sprig of medicine manages to spend in
a month. The remaining two months
he must tramp it, That is the way
the professional tramp gets into his
bad habit. Once formed, he cannot
break off.
"Tramping is not begun in boyhood.
Only one tramp in a hundred is under
twenty years old. Fifty out of hun
dred are over thirty-fve. and twenty
five ont of hundred are over forty.
There are no old tramps. They die or
become city Migrants al sixty.

He deserves his sovereignty. He is in

MONEY FOR TRAMPS.
"How tramps get their money during

the statistician busy for a long time.
II was finally answered by questioning
the tramps themselves as they were
taken to prisons and hospitals, espe-
cially the latter.

and valued at $40. This was printed in red

on tho City and Suburban road, except
that it was somewhat larger. The lawyer
slipped the coupon in his pocket and for
got all about it.
When the conductor called on the law
yer for fares, he took two tickets from his

reached tho corner where he was to leave
