GET FLESH.
Get Strength, yigOr, Clear COM

Get Strength, yigOr, Clear Com-
plexion and Good Digestion, Not
by Patent Medicine, But in Ma.
ture's Own Way.
Any honest physician will tell you that
there Is bat one way to get increased flesh;
all the Patent medicines and cod liver oils
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Nature has but one way to increas sc flesh,
strength and vigor of mind and body, and
that is through the stomach by wholesome
food well digested. There is no reason or
common sense in any other method what
ever.
People are thin, run down, nervous, pale
and shaky in their nerves, simply because
their stomachs are weak.
They may not think they have dyspepsia.
but the fact remains that they do not eat
enough food or what they eatis not quickly
and properly digested as it should be.
DR.. Harlandson says the reason Is be
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids and peptones, and deficient secretion
Of gastric Juice
Natures remedy in such cases is to supply
what the weak stomach lacks. There are
several good pI epa rations which will do this,
but none SO readily as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, which are designed especially for
all stomach troubles, and which cure all III
gestiva weakness on the common sense plan
OF furnishing the digestive principles which
the stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect
digestion. First effects toiIcrease the ap-
petite and increased vigor, added flesh, pure
blood, and strength of nerve and muscle Is
the perfectly natural result.
Stuat's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
tonic known and will cure any form of stom-
ach trouble except cancer OF the stomach

SWITCHING LOCOMOTIVES.
The Superiority of Electricity Over
Steam ns "A Motor.

The Superiority of Electricity over
Steam Motor.
The most striking thing about the
behavior of the electric locomotive is
the certainty with which it may be
moved over short distances, varying
from few inches to n few feet. The
obedience of the motors to the con-
troller is practically instantaneous,
thus doing away at one stroke with
one of the chief drawbacks to steam
switching engines, with which there
is noticeable delay between the time
when the throttle valve is opened and
the pistons begin to move. in this way
often causing the engineer. no matter
how careful he may be, to overshoot
his mark
This delay in action, wbile,generally
only a few seconds in each case,
amounts up seriously in the course of
whole Days work and is the chief
cause of the proverbial lateness of
freight trains which have much
switching to do at intermediate sta
tions. From the fact that the move
ment of the electric locomotive can be
graduated so nicely full third of the
time usually occupied by the steam To-
comotives can be saved. particularly
as single empty cars unprovided with
automatic couplers need never be bunt-
ed off by too rapid an approach of the
engine, as frequently happens under
switching conditions as they now are.
Again, the acceleration of the electric
locomotive is so even that the freight
cars of comparatively long train are
started, ,one after another, without
jerking ,and without apparent, strain.
A weak draw bar is thus protected
againstisudden fracture, and no leasing
off," with consequent reduction in
speed and delay in getting under way,
Unnecessary, is as in the case of the steam
| locomotive. The electric locomotive.
further, is fitted with n quick acting
air-brake, the pressure for which is
kept at It's maximum by an automatic
| electric air pump, instead of the COM
| parativelY slow-acting steam brake
which Isl usually attached to steam
switching engines. The highest rate Of
speed permissible in such cases may,
! therefore, be indulged in with the GER
tainty of quick stop, should occasion
require it.
The handles with which, an electric
locomotive may be operated is an
other point in its favor. There is
neither the internal pressure of the
steam against the throttle valve nor
the stiffness and weight of the link re-
versing gear to overcome. A dainty
controller handle, which could be moved
by a child, and a reversing handle al

TWO MEN WERE DROWNED.
RECOLLECTIoNS OF THE GREAT
BRANDYWINE FRESHET AND
THE OLD SNUFF MILL.

THE OLD SNUFF MILL.
There's one landmark of Whining
ton that has history" said one of the
pioneer railroad men to-day to an
Evening Journal man, "and that's the
old snuff mill, known of old as the Isaac
Jones property, now known as the
Augustine Mills.
MY first recollections of it couple
the quaint place with the greatest snow
storm we ever had in this neighbor-
hood, and to get to the old mill men
had to walk over the crusted snow
which was higher than the fourth rail
.of all the fences.
Prior to the year fS45, the farm of
j. Cloud Elliott was portion of the
old snuff mill property, it being divided
when A. E. Jessup bought the mill
property.
Then II became spoken Of as the old
snuff mill property.

sion How well | remember the re-
pairing forcel Nose Bullock, Sr, was
the stone mason, while Robert Kirk
and Washington Cause were two of the
millwrights or carpenters, as they are
now called They were engaged in
making alterations on the inside.
while these internal changes were
being made, a big freshet occurred in
the Brandywine. Two of the laborers
against the advices OF their older asso-
ciates engaged in the mill work, at.

Their bodies we're found in few days

THE ruins of the old paper mill OF
the opposite side, known as the Gilpir

much interest. Subsequently the Gilpir
mill ruins were destroyed by fire.

CHASED BY HUNGRY PoRPoIsEs.
Remarkable Experience of n Man I'm
SKIN with Fresh Meat.

Remarkable Experience of N Man I'm
"a SKIN with Fresh Meat.
Ollie Iverson, who owns a ranch Oh
McNeirs island, near the United States
penitentiary at Tacoma, Wash, had an
experience the other day he is not like
ly to forget for many long day, and,
while it was undoubtedly very serious
affair for Iyerson, it was an amusing
episode 10 an Olympia excursion party
that witnessed il.
The incident occurred to Iverson
while he was crossing from the main
land to his island home. When in Ia
coma the ranchman had purchased
quarter Of hog, intending to salt it
down for future use.
Shortly after he left Steilacoom in his
sliff he noticed large school of por-
poises following in his wake, but it
never occurred to him that the car
cass in the boat had any connection
with the school of sea pigs following his
boat.
When he was about in midchannel the
school, which numbered about $50, be-
gan to close in on him and two Of the
leaders began to work up alongside of
his skiif. BY this time the rancher was
scared and he bent all his energies to
reach the island shore, but his efforts
to pull away from his fishy pursuers
proved futile, for he might just as well
try to outrow a tornado as to attempt
TO escape from tleet-tailed sea hogs.
AS Iverson was nearing the shore and
when almost directly opposite the
United States penitentiary, the two
large porpoises that for about 90 min
utes had been swimming so close to the
boat that he had struck them several
times with his oars, suddenly shot ont
of the water into the boat, knocking the
rancher overheard With such force as
to break one of his ribs and upset the
skiff For a short time the water about
his boat had the appearance of minia-
ture maelstrom as the hungry sea hogs
fought and quarreled for the carcass of
the land pig.
1verson swan to his sldn and clung
to the gunwale. VIII Jenkins, who lives
near TIE Bosworth landing, hearing the
racket and seeing the latter part Of
The trouble, put off in his boat and res
cued him from his extremely perilous
position.
DR.. MaclSlinson, of Steilacoom, was
sent for and dressed the mans wounds
and prescribed for him. The doctor re-
ports that his patient will be all right
in few days, but his patient says that
he will sell his ranch cheap, for, he
says, although he has been a meat eater
all his life, yet so long as he has to live
on the island he will never attempt to
take meat over in n rowboat. Anyway
he says that he has to take too many
chances, or, as he expressed it: 81 don't
mind being held up on a street cur OF
highway, but 1 do draw the line at be
ing robbed in broad daylight of my ra
tion of bacon by n measly lot of wild
