THE OLD WAY
OF Treating Dyspepsia and Indigestion by
Dieting a Barbarous and Useless One.

We say the old way, but really it is a
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 to greatly di-
minish the quantity usually taken, 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 its appear
ance a course of dieting is at once ad-
vised.
All this Is radically wrong. 1t is
foolish and unscientific to recommend
dieting or starvation to man suffer-
ing from Dyspepsia, because indigestion
itself starves every organ and every
nerve and every fibre in the body.
What the Dyspeptic wants is abund-
ant nutrition. which means plenty of
good, wholesome. well-cooked food and
something to assist the weak stomach
to digest 1t. This is exactly the pur-
pose for which Stuart's 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 Dyspepsia Tablets digest
it for him. In this way the system is
nourished and the overworked stomach
rested, because the tablets will digest
the food whether the stomach works
or not. One of these tablets will di-
gest 5000 grains Of meat or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets is the purest
and safest remedy sold for stomach
troubles and every trial makes one
more friend for this excellent prepara-
tion. Sold at scots. for full sized pack
age at all drug stores.

ORGANIZER SPOKE,

making a tour of the eastern states.
His talk was very interesting and
among other things which only per-

toned the fact that he had been resi-

and had been deeply impressed by the
growth of and the busy spirit which
pervaded this city. The order, he said,

tectural drawing for the other. The
course In mining is a special feature.
1t is taught by an expert mining en-
ginAr, who is also a skillful instructor
The course this year will deal par
ticularly with the subject of mine ven-
tilaton.
In addition to the six regular courses
mentioned above, there are special
classes in plumbing, woodworking,
German, Latin and vocal music, all of
which are popular and important sub
jects. The plumbing shop has a splen-
did equipment of benches, gas fire pots,
tools, etc, while the carpenter shop Is
equipped with twenty benches, each
equipped with a complete set of wood
working tools. That such an institu-
tion Is open for the leisure hours of
young men and boys in Scranton is a
matter for congratulaton on their
part.
There are also classes conducted for
young ladies in connection with the
Young Womans Christian association.
Last year a goodly number of young
ladies took courses in freehand draw
ing. stenography, typewriting, book
keeping and commercial law. The
cost for these studies seem very low
