they tackled the strong Normal team.
The weather was almost perfect, and
the teams drew about 500 enthusiastic

spectators point of view the game was
a good one.
At 245 to the music of brass band,
Gibbs, of the Normal, kicked off. Cum
mings receiving the ball and making a
gain of fifteen yards before being
downed. The Business College team
carried the ball to the Normars 30-yard
line and lost it on a tumble After a
few hard scrimmages the Normal used
their famous double pass, which re-
suited in a touchdown, from which an
easy goal was kicked. After twelve
minutes more play the Normal scored
another touchdown, but failed on kick
ing goal Score, 10 to 0. This ended

THEY RIDICULE 1T.
Many People Ridicule the Idea Of an
Abs0late Cure for Dyspepsia and
stomach Troubles.
Ridicule, However, Is Not Argument,
aud Facts Arc stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and
In many cases SO obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion
on any remedy claiming to be a radical
permanent cure for dyspepsia and indi-
gestion. Many such pride themselves
on their acuteness in never being hum
bugged, especially on medicines.
This fear of being humbugged may
be carried too far: so far, in fact, tnat
many persons suffer for years with
weak digestion rather than risk a little
time and money in faithfully testing the
claims Of q preparation so reliable and
universally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different In one important re-
spect from ordinary proprietary medi-
cines for the reason that they are not a
secret patent medicine, no secret Is
made Of their ingredients. but analysis
shows them to contain the natural di-
, gestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin,
the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bis
muth, hydrastis and nux. They are
not cathartic, neither do they act pow
erfully on any organ, but they cure in
digestion on the common sense plan OF
digesting the food eaten thoroughly be-
fore it has time to ferment, sour and
cause the mischief. This is the only
secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach trou-
bles because they act entirely upon the
| bowels, whereas the whole trouble is
really In the stomach.
| Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken af-
| ter meals, digest the food. That is all
| there Is to it. Food not digested OF
half digested is poison as it creates
gas, acidity. headaches, palpitation of
| the heart. loss of flesh and appetite and
many other troubles which are often
| called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists every
where at so cents per package. Ad-
