WOMAN.

CWcman-"A rag and bone and a hank
of ha.r.'-Rudyard Kipling. Translated
from the,French of Victor Hugo by Har.e;
Loretta Knapp)
Woman was placed upon the earth
To iGealiZe the universe;
The znystcTy of life We feel
Only her Kisses can reveal.
Love fills all the spaces, low and high:
Its limitations sea and sky;
To its shrine the fairest gifts are sent:
All nature is loves ornament
Appealing 70 the soul, each bloom
Sleeps all our senses in perfume;
God did not let the flowers appear
TIL he had placed the woman here
Blue sapphires, useless in your gleam
TIL woman's soft eyes on you beam,
And diamonds glitter;ng there alone
Without her glance worthless stone
All things that fill our hearts with bliss
Spring forth from wonan's lovelness;
Without fair Eve, the snowy pearl
Without your your smile, my sweet, sweet
gil
The pearl would lose its beauty rare,
As love, despies will grow less fair.
And love from thee taking its fight
Is a wounded bird lost in the night

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its Ex
cessive Use.

/ Common soda is all right in its place
and indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes, but it
was never intended for medicine, and
people who use ii as such will some day
regret it.
We refer to the common use Of soda
to relief heartburn or sour stomach. a
habit which thousands Of people prac-
,ice almost daily, and one which is
fraught with danger; moreover the soda
only gives temporary relief and in the
end the stomach trouble gets worse and
worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irritan.
70 the walls of the stomach and bowels
and cases are on record where it accu-
mulated in the intestines, causing death
by inflammation or peritonitis.
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
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These tab
lets are large 20 grain loZenges. very
pleasant to taste and contain the natur-
al acids, peptones, and digestive ele-
ments essential TO good digestion and
when taken after meals they digest the
food perfectly and promptly before 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 derang ements and
finds them a certain cure not only for
stomach. but by promptly digesting the
food they create healthy appetite, in
crease flesh and strengthen the action of
the heart and liver. They are not ca
thartic, but intended only for stomach
diseases and weaknesses and will be
found reliable in any stomach trouble
except cancer of the stomach.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets al so cents per package.

stomach weakness and their cure mailed
