II feet below the level of the surface
of the ground and six feet below the
sea level a four-inch stratum of mold
composed Of decayed leaves, fibrous
matter, and fragments of tree trunks
and branches. This would seem to
indicate the land has sunk, for fresh
water is found on the cape at leve
about equal to the sea level at mean

pounds to San Francisco. They get
20 cents pound for prime nuts, and
as the expense of gathering them,

over $25, they will make clear s175

THE OLD WAY
OF treating DyspepSia and IndiEes-
ton by Dieting, . BArbarous
and Useless One.


p; tiOn by Dieting, . BarbarOus
and Useless One.
We say the old way, but really it is
very common one at present time
and many dyspeptics and physicians
as well consider the first step to take
in attempting to cure indigestion is
to diet, either by selecting certain
foods and rejecting others or togreat-
ly diminish the quantity usually TAX
en-, in other words the starvation
plan Is by many supposed to be the
first essential.
The almost certain failure of the
starvation cure for dyspepsia has
been proven time and again. but still
the moment Dyspepsia makes it's APP
pearance course of dieting is an
at once advised.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is
foolish and unscientific to recommend
dieting or starvation to man suffer-
ing from Dyspepsia, because Indi-
gestion itself starves every organ and
every fibre in the bouy..
What the Dyspeptic wants is
abundant nutrition, which means
plenty of good, wholesome, wen-cook-
ed food and something to assist the
weak stomach to digest it. This is
exactly the purpose for which Stu
| arts Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted
and this is the method by which they
cure the worst cases of Dyspepsia, in
other words the patient eats plenty
of wholesome food and Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets digest it for him. In
this way the system is nourished and
the overworked stomach rested, be-
cause the tablets will digest the food
whether the stomach works or not.
One of these tablets will digest 5000
grains of meat or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
purest and safest remedy sold for
stomach troubles and every trial

MUSCULAR MONARCHS.
Rulers who Have Been Famous for
Their Physical Strength.

1t is astonishing what large num-
Der of kings and other rulers have been
famous for their physical strength. The
Late car of Russia and the late German
emperor were both remarkable for their
strength of body. The latter, in fact,
thought sufficiently well of his powers
to oppose himself to a professional
strong man, who wrestled with and de-
feated the monarch with difficulty.
Augustus H., elector of Saxony. was a
man of immense strength. He once
seized a monk who had concealed him
self in the royal sleeping apartment by
the waist and flung him out of the win
dow into the courtyard beneath.
Maurice, count Of SaXony, natural
son of the above elector. was as noted
as his father for his feats of strength.
l. needs no small amount of strength
in the fingers to enable one to twist a
long. thick nail into a spiral. This
Maurice did and afterward used it as a
corkscrew to open bottles of wine at a
luncheon. At another time, while stop
ping at n farrier's to have his horses at
tended to, he broke half dozen of the
mans horseshoes by the strength of his
hands like so many biscuits. That
Maurice was equally strong in other
parts of his body is shown by the fol-
lowing:
While travelling on foot in London he
had an alteration with Il dustman.
The dispute developed into n quarrel,
which the count terminated by Selling
his adversary by the head and throwing
him over his shoulder into the mud
cart. which was standing near.
1t is related of Dom Pedro T., emperor
of Brazil, that while out sailing in a
small boat he suddenly seized hold Of
the two magnificently dressed chamber
lains who accompanied him, lifted them
out of the boat. one on each side, and
ducked them in the sea. This was not
done out of malice. but because it was
carnival time and practical joking was
the, order of the day.
Scanderberg, king of Albania, was a
giant in strength. From an early age
he was in the habit of competing in
feats of strength and skill with the
Turkish mobiles and was almost always
victorious. He once in fit of rage cut
in two with one stroke of his sword two
enemies who were brought to him
bound together. The same powerful
sword arm could cut in twain a man in
complete armor.-London Tit-Bits.

Dangers of the Diet Fad.

There is not much danger, ordinar-
lily, of our children being starved. But
an idea has lately been borrowed from
England which we should be sorry to

Of keeping children on a spare diet to
prevent their becoming plump. 1t is
natural and right that young creatures
should be plump, and the best medical
authorities agree that just before the
great change from childhood to youth
begins, at the age of ~, a store of fat
ought to be laid up as a safeguard
against the unusual demands about to
be made upon their strength. 1t is
certainly mistake to deprive young
children of wholesome, nutritious food
to prevent the accumulation of flesh
