IT CAN'T BE DONE.
No one Can Remain Wen, No Chronic
Disease Can he cured Unless the
stomach Is First Made
strong aud Vigorous.

This is plain because every organ in the
body depends on the stomach for its
nourishment. Nerve, bone, sinew, blood
are made from the food which the stom-
ach converts to our use.
How useless to treat disease with this,
that and the other remedy and neglect the
most important of ALL the stomach.
The earliest symptoms of Indigestion
are sour risings, bad taste in the mouth,
gas in stomach and bowels, palpitation,
all-gone feeling, faintness, headache, con-
stipation; later comes loss of flesh, con-
sumption, liver and heart troubles, kid
ney diseases, nervous prostration, all of
which are the indirect result of poor
nutrition.
Any person suffering from indigestion
should make 1t practice to take after
each meal one of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, allowing 1t to dissolve in the
mouth and thus mngle with the saliva
and enter the stomach in the most nat
ural way. These Tablets are highly rec
ommended by DIR. Jennison because they
are composed of the natural digestive
acids and fruit essences which assist the
stomach I'm digesting all wholesome food
before IL has time TO ferment and sour.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists, full sized packages at 80 cents.
They are also excellent for invalids and
children. a book on stomach diseases
and thousands of testimonials of genuine
cures sent free by addressing stuart Co.,

leader has no strength in the suit and

should not be cOnfounded with the
short suit lead of a strengthening card,
and cannot he used by short suit lead
| ers. Properly understood it is a valu-
| able Information play.
| Nh Otis uses this lead but conveys
different information. 1t is unques-
tionably source of disappointment to

| cards endeaVoring to establish your
suit An established suit is worthless
without trump strength. Holding a

high. with good trump and other
strength. the lead of the fourth best is
unQuestionably the best lead. as the

| fishing and bringing in; while with
weak trumps the lead of the ten con-
veys all this information and he will
act accordingly. ], w. Dusenbury.

Six DAYS Wheel Race.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE great
six days bicycle race at Madison
Square Garden has narrowed itself
down TO fifteen riders. Miller still
retains lead of nearly one hundred
miles over Rice, the Wilkesbarre
miner. At midnight he was some
thing like 235 miles ahead Of the
worlds record and with twenty-four
hours to spare. He had covered the
distance up to within a few miles of
the great record which was made by
Hale last year, 1900 The great sur
prise of the night was the retire
ment of Riyierre, the Freuchman,
who, while not believed to be actually
out Of his mind, is in a pitiable ply
sical condition and is under the care
Of physicians.
Like most of the Others Rivieree
has given evidence during the contest
of partially losing his mind. The
awful strain from the first day Of
riding has, in a measure, mentally
unbalanced him and this afternoon
he leaped from his wheel land made
az assault on an imaginary foe in one
of the boxes swearing and jabbering
in his native tongue. His trainers
rushed to him and put him on his
wheel, but after making few more
laps he repeated the performance with
more insane rage than he had at first
demonstrated. The result was that
Riyieree had to be taken from the
track to return no more.
Another who has quit is Moore. He
had a bad fall during the afternoon.
While going at high rate of speed
he crashed into a rail and cut himself
badly, He was carried off the track
almost unconscious. The shock was
too great for his debilitated condition
and Moore will be seen no more in the
race. But Miller, the wonderful spec
linen Of physical strength, still plods
along. He has ground out more miles
in given time on wheel than any
man has ever before. He has sub
sisted under the most telling strain,
with less sleep than was thought pos
ssble by any man, and an examina-
tion of him by surgeons disclosed the
fact that his condition was normal
and with the exception of muscular
soreness and slight deadness of the
limbs he was in excellent condition
and will be able to continue to the end
without much danger of collapse.

contest, though nearly a hundred
