Serious Results Sometimes Follow
Its Excessive Use.
Common soda is all right in it's place
and Indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes but it was
never intended for a medicine, and peo-
pie who use 1t as such will some day
regret it,
We refer to the common use Of soda to
relieve heartburn or sour stomach, habit
which thousands of people practice almost
daily, and one which is fraught with dam
ger; moreover the soda only gives tempo
rary relief and in the end the stomach
trouble gets worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical lrritant
to the walls OF the stomach and bowels
and cases are on record where it accumu-
lated in the intesunes, causing death by
Inflammation or peritonits.
DIR. Harlandson recommends as the SAT-
est and surest cure for sour stomach (acid
dyspepsia an excellent preparation sold
by druggists under the name of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets are
large D-grain lozenges. very pleasant TO
taste and contain the natural acids, pep
tones and digestive elements essential to
good digestion, and when taken after
meals they digest the food perfectly ana
promptly before 1t has time to ferment,
sour and poison the blood and nervous
system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach arrangements and finds
them a certain cure not only for sour
stomach, but by promptly dgesting the
food they create a healthy appetite, in

ACTOR HANLEY's GUARDIAN ANGEL
He Has Fists Instead of Wings, ana
Is a Champion Besides.
From the New York Journal

From the New York Journal
ST. Louis, Oct AIN order to keep from
being too good fellow, Lawrence Han
ley, the Imperial Stock Companys lead
ing man, has hit upon preventive as eff
fective as it is unique. The name of the
preventive is A. Tozer, and he is the ann
ateur middle weight boxer Of Missouri.
The preventive is worked in this way.
If. after an evenings performance Mr..
Hanley happens to meet a few friends, of
course they sit down, chat awhile and
drinks are ordered. Here Tozer is in
troduced all around and when Hanley Is
asked what he will have, he looks at Toz-
er and says soda.
If. after five or six rounds Haney is
stin sticking to soda, Tozer will say: Lar
~, it's midnight. We are going to bed
now" Larry" says good night to the
crowd around the bar and strikes them
dumb by walking meekly away to the
elevator.
If Hanley does not say good night and
walk off meekly, or If his will power
should slip a cog and he becomes hyp-
Noticed by his friends to the extent of haV-
ing "a small glass and a decanter of whis-
ky placed before him, the preventive, in
the person Of Tozer, has instructions to
step forward, jolt Hanley with one of his
championship fists, grab him by the neck,
say, Come on" and slam him into the
elevator, which will bear him TO his room.
Tozer never let's Haniey get out of his
sight. To the theater for rehearsals, for
the performance, for walks and drives TO
the dining room, the preventing Tozer is
sure TO CO. too. Besides watching out for
his ward and defending him from temp
tation, Tozer is putting the actor through
a thorough course of physical training.
They have a routine of bag punching,
sparring and wrestling, with a rundown
every morning
'Hanley has lost fifteen pounds in ten
days" says Tozer proudly, land he's fit
to fight Fitzsimmons to-day"

the prejudice that exists against him,
and not a penny in his pocket to buy
meal or shelter for the night. Without
requiring overtime service from pris-
oner, he should be given few dollars
when discharged as an act of justice to
him and a protection to society. A little
reform by the legislatures of several
southern states, along this line. would
materially reduce the number of second
and third term convicts. The convict who
is turned, almost literally naked, from
prison door, after working for the state
for years, under a task master, not only
must in many cases steal to live, but
he is put in the very frame of mind for
resumng his criminal career, by such an
act of brutality on the part of the state;
and he inevitably revenges a wrong
done him by the state, on its citizens.

HIS WIFE WAS DYING.

While the audience laughed and applaud

of Bob Graham's company was conceal
ing his grief from the people who had

depended upon him. Just before the cur
tain was rung up on the first act last
night a telegram came for Joe Holland
1t was from his home in Buffalo, N. y,
and told him that his wife was ILL., 1t was
too late 20 put another man on in his
part, for no one else knew II. The cur
tain went up, and when il came his time
to go on Holland was there.
The audience could not see the tears
that ran down the makeup on his face
II saw that Holland was funny and
laughed a his comic work. That was
what the audience was there for.
Just as he left the stage after his first
scene second telegram came. 1t said:
She Is dying Come at once"
Holland stood and read this message of
death and while ne held 1t in his trem-
bling hand the stage manager called to
him to "go on"
The telegram was handed to a stage
hand. Hold that" said Holland. and
then he rushed on the stage Two min
utes later the audience was laughing at
the funny man. Ten feet from him, stand
ing behind the scenes, Holland could see
the stage hand holding the little yellow
slip that had brought him the news that
his wife was dying.
Holland is one Of the most popular men,

a gloom over his associates but the audi

From the Chattanooga Times.
The Savannah Morning News urges
that convicts who have served out their
time should not be turned adrift, without
a penny. 'In New York state" says the
News, when a convict is discharged from
states prison, he is given a small sum
&c. or about that amount-as a starter.
Thus he is able to begin life over again
as an honest man, and is not forced to
depend upon charity or his wits for even
his first meal out of prison. 1t might be
well to arrange matters SO that the con-
Victs would work a little over time, and
thus earn something TO be given to them
upon their discharge" In several Of the
states Of whose regulations in the matter
we have some knowledge, the laws pro-
vide that a discharged convict shall be
given neat suit of clothing with a change
of underwear, and from so TO $40 in money
enough to decently maintain him for a
few weeks, in which time he may secure
employment. 1t is unjust, not to say
barbarous, to turn a fellow being loose

WHEEIMEN RACE HORSES.
\ Quad Team Finishes Five Yards
Behind the Runners.

Behind the Runners.
Philadelphia, Oct. IA relay of six
thoroughbred horses from the stables of
Thomas W. South raced five miles to-day
on the Togo bicycle track against four
crack bicyclists, and the horses won in
minutes and 50 seconds, with the wheel
men only five yards behind. The race was
the feature event of an aft
ernoon's programme of amateur
bicycle races. The quad team
was Frank Starbuck, Robert McCurdy,
Charley Church and B. B. Stevens, while
the horses were the well-known Romeo,
Aida Kirk, Tamaqua, Effie s., Helen T.
and Statesman.
In order to facilitate matters, the jock
eys were to pick up each relay on the
straightaway. Romeo made the race for
the first mile with Jockey Merrick as his
mount. In the stretch the quad team was
right behind, but Campbell's bad pickup
of Romeo on Aida Kirk forced the quad
away to the outside of the track, and
ten yards were lost. This was added to
by Aida Kinks fast running
for her distance of two
thirds of a mile, which brought the next
relay, Tamaqua, with Heinrichs in the
saddle, in the lead about fifty yards. Ia
maqua kept the pace for the next mile,
when Effie S., with Chick Neel riding,
ran for the next two-thirds of a mile The
quad made no material gain until in the
stretch. Coudrier was slow in bringing in
the other relay. Helen T., and the quad
made gain of thirty-five yards in that
mile. Statesman was the last relay and
Ashburn rode the two-thirds at rapid
gait. The quad had begun to increase it's
pace, and was drawing closer to States
man, but the horse crossed the tape first
by five yards
