wonder that the digestion Of both gets out
of order.
Nature works as hard as she can, but
there are some things she cannot stand. If
a man gets some foreign substance into the
works of his watch, he doesn't expect the
watch to run until the impeachment is re-
moved. His own digestive system is
much more wonderful and delicate mechan-
ism, than that of his watch, and yet he neg
lects it and abuses it. He lets it get out of
order, and refuses to help it. In the end
his neglect reacts with terrible force upon
himself The reaction comes on gradually,
however, so that sometimes he scarcely sus-
poets the cause.
The cause of nine-tenths of the sickness
of the world is constipation "a condition
so common that four people out of hve take
II as matter of course. From this one
cause come Indigestion; disorders of the
stomach, liver and kidneys; biliousness,
headaches, flatuleDce, heartburn, lmpur1ty
of the blood and the serious complications
that follow. To begin with, constipation IS
a little thing, and little thing VIII cure It.
Or Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are tiny, sugar
coated granules. They give to nature just
the little help she needs. They are as
gentle as they are efficient, and will per-
fectly cure the worst cases of constipation.
There is nothing in the world like them, SO
there can be nothing Just as good" The
drugpi5t who tries to sell you something
else has his own interest in view and not
yours.

GOING 70 BED HUNGRY.
1t is All Wrong and Man is the
Only Creature That Does it.

The complete emptiness Of the stom-
ach during sleep adds greatly to the
amount OF emaciation, sleeplessness and
general weakness so often met with.
There is perpetual change of tissues in
the body, sleeping or waking. and the
supply OF nOurishment ought to be
somewhat continuous and food taken
just before retiring, adds more tissue
than is destroyed and increased weight
and vigor is the result. DR.. w. T..
Cathell says: "All animals except man
eat before sleep and there is no reason
In nature why man should form the
exception to the rule"
If people who are thin, nervous and
sleepless would take light lunch of
bread and milk or oatmeal and cream,
and at the same time take safe. harm
less stomach remedy like Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets in order TO help the
stomach in digesting it, the result will
be a surprising increase in weight,
strength and general vigor. The only
drawback has been that thin, nervous,
dyspsptic people cannot digest and as
simulate wholesome food at night or
any other time. For such it is abso-
lutely necessary to use Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, because they will digest
the food, no matter how weak the
stomach may be, nourishing the body
and resting the stomach at the same
time
DR.. Stevenson says: Il depend almost
entirely upon Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
lets in treating Indigestion. because it
Is not quack nostrum, and know Just
what they contain, a combination Of
vegetable essences, pure pepsin and
fruit salts, and they cure Dyspepsia and
stomach troubles, because they can't
help but cure" Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are sold by druggists every
where at 80 cents per package They
are in lozenge form, pleasant to take,
and contain nothing but pure pepsin,
vegetable essences, fruit salts and bis
muth, scientifically compounded. They
are made by the Stuart Co., of Mar
shall, Mich, and your druggist will tell
you they give universal satisfaction.

The fifth recital of the Philharmonic

for regret that the recitals are so exClu-

permitted to hear the music is nee essa rily
limited. Last nights programme follows:

Central American Forest
Philip Salais lived ina n little cabin
on the banks of the San Juan river IN
PARKWAY Central America IL was =
dozen or more years ago. before the
dark-slinned rubber cutters had
pierced the jungles, and the river bot
toms and tangled hillsides teemed with
savage animals.
One morning Philip, who was pow
erful young hunter. left his home with
his revolver. intending to bag wild
turkey or two for dinner. He took
only 20 cartridges, because he did not
expect to stay long.
AS he pushed his way down brushy
hillside not a mile from his cabin he
heard the ugh. ugh" OF q wild animal.
STOPPING quickly he looked through
the trees and saw a huge herd of wild
hogs, or peccaries, ugly. hump-baclked
creatures, known for their boldness and
ferocity.
Philip thought he'd like biz. Of hog
for dinner. and 90 he crept up within
