STRENGTH FROM FOOD
But the Food Must be Digeste.

There is no way TO get strong without
food. Food is the strength maker.
just enough food, properly digested,
makes the strong and healthy man or
woman. Too much. too little. or even
the right quantity, not digested, will
make anybody weak.
The beginning of all sickness is weak
ness. The beginning of all weakness is
indigestion. So to keep strong, look after
your digestion. That is the most i'm
portant point OF all.
When your food ferments in your stom-
ach and forms gas, causes dizziness, nau-
sea, bad taste, sick headache, full feeling.

NIT quietly to the hands of the doctor
and his assistant in being bathed,
brushed, or even operated upon.
Some interesting operations have
been performed in the hospital. Ex-
traction of teeth is common. One Skye
terrier which had lost an eye had a
glass one inserted. Cancerous growths
have been removed from dogs, though
this operation is rarely successful. In
several cases a leg has been amputated,
and in one case an artificial rubber leg
was fitted on. Artificial limbs can be
put on very quiet dogs only, however,
because they are nearly always torn
off by the animal. 4 big Newfoundland
puppy in the hospital is suffering from
a rather peculiar disease called rach-
tits, or softening of the bones, known
is "rackets" in human beings. The
legs of the dog will not bear the weight
of his body, and are curved in the form
of bow. This disease is caused, as
are most canine affections, from I'M
suitable food. He has been fed on
food deficient in lime salts, which are
needed to give strength and hard

as they become old.
The cases of the patients are dag

human practice, except that the sick
dog cannot answer any questions. The
doctor places his ear against the an

of bronchitis, wheeZiness or dropsy.

The most extraordinary devotion is

RED TABBY CATS IN LONDON,
Entertainingly Described by Milwaukee
Lady Who Saw Them.

EntertaIningIy Described by Milwaukee
Lady who Saw Them.
A Milwaukee lady who has recently
returned from abroad says that one OF
the most interesting exhibits which
she saw in Europe was the National Cat
show of England, which was held at
the Crystal palace, London, in which
about 700 cats were shown, says the
Milwaukee Sentinel. "The decided fea-
ture of the exhibition" she said, was
the number of superb red tabbies, to-
gether with fine assortment of pure
blacks, smoke-colored cats and cats
with that peculiar tone of glossy coat
known as cat blue. The efforts of the
English cat breeders this last year have
been blue and black cats. In the opin-
ion of many experts black cat without
any markings whatever of white is the
most perfect variety that is known,
and it is proof of the appreciation of
this that certain dishonest people pluck
the white hairs out of cat one by one.
1t has been noticed that the classes
that are open to workingmen in this
national exhibition are particularly
strong in fine black cats. Blue-eyed
white-coated cats are getting to be
highly valued in England now, and one

A HOSPITAL FOR DOGS.
Patients Are Ire ated with as Much
Dare as Human Beings.
How Diagnoses Are Made and Operations
Performed-The Devotion of Mistresses
to Their Pets-yiew of an In
yalid's Cage.

A pathetic and at the same time inter
esting sight may be seen any day in one
of the New York Veterinary hospitals.
In the room devoted to cats and dogs
are rows of cages containing suffering
pets which, sick though they may be,
all eagerly jump up upon the entrance
of stranger and anxiously strain their
eyes in the hope of seeing familiar
face. The hospital is patronized by the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, and is the one which enjoys
the distinction of receiving as patients
the sick pets of the rich people in the
city.
The cages, says the New York Trib-
une, are always full of animals suffer
ing from overlooking and unsuitable
diet, in which week or two of whole
some food works wonderful change.
Such delicacies as ice cream, weak tea
and pound cake are strictly tabooed, to
the disgust of many pampered pug,
which at first turns up its nose at dog
biscuit and other hard but wholesome
diet. A moderate sum per week is
charged for keeping and curing the sick
dogs and cats, varying according tot the
ailment and size of the animal. The
patients are allowed to receive visitors
and many owners come and sit for al
hour or more before their Gagged pets
They are not allowed to bring any foot
or dainties into the hospital unless &c
corded special permission by the hous'
surgeon. Though most of the patient
are of high pedigree and generally SUI
fering from excess of kindness and lux
uries, any poor boy may bring his mon
grel or girl her dilapidated kitten, wit
the certainty of its being treated free
with as much care as those which ar
being paid for. Thew cannot be ken

A Prevalent Disease

There is no disease so prevalent
in America as dyspepsia, and GER
tainly none which has so generally
baffled and defeated the skill of the
medical profession. The only rem
edy for this distressing complaint is
a pure medicated stimulant, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, whose es-
sential principle is pure spirits, is
admitted by medical practitioners
to be the only Alternative, corrective
and restorative on which they can
rely. The Bitters are the best pos
sible specific for hatulence, dizz. ness,
waterbrash, irregularity of the
bowels and all Indications of CON
hrmed dyspepsia. They do not ex-
cite, but soothe irritated stomach
and bowels, and may be taken by
persons of the most delicate and
sensitivy organization, who are un-
pleasantly affected by the use of
the ordinary stimulants of COM
merce. Though their effect is most
decisive, yet they are so mild and
benefcent in operation as to be
suitable TO children as well as to
adults.

Some Reading that Will Prove Inter

Guard Against the Disease.

E Group is terror to young moth
ers, and to post them concerning
the cause, first symptoms and
treatment IS the object of this
item. The origin of Group is a com
mon cold. Children who are sub
iect to it take cold very easily, and
Group is almost sure to follow. The
first symptom is hoarseness; this is
soon followed by a peculiar rough
cough, which is easily recognized
and will never be forgotten by one
who has heard it. The time to act
is when the chlld first becomes
hoarse. If Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is freely given all tendency
to Group will soon disappear Even
after the croupy cough has deyel'
oped it will prevent the attack

SThe Old Homestead" one of the best
of rural dramas, comes to the Metro
politan tonight for a weeks engage
ment. No play of New England life
has yet managed to capture the hearts
of city and country folks alike, so eff
fectually. Is THE Old Homestead will
always rank among the worthy plays
of the American stage, even after IL
has ceased to be presented, and fingers
only in memory. 1t has no plot, no
hight flown dialogue, no rolling periods;
these are. all lacking. What it success
fully purports to be, is a character
study, with plenty of light and shade;
intrigue is wanting. but in its place is
a representation of honest people and
honest motives. 8cs $
The Old Homestead is known to all
most every theater- goer as a simple
tale of honest people; their every day
life, is told in simple language. The
American public, quick to recognize
the better elements of nature, whether
Pm the. stage or in private life, take
ftndly to ''Uncle JOSH" even through
all his escapades. They recognize that
he is the embodiment of honest and
rural simplicity. They like the man,
: and don't care whether he is dressed in
broadcloth or homespun, so his nature
has something attractive and lovable.
An audience may laugh at the awk-
ward situations that Mr.. Thompson's
hero, encounters, but they never laugh
at the man; and there is something In

be called heart-interest, which always
