TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
TO Gain Flesh, to Sleep Wei, to Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Mean, MAKE a Test of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indianapolis
Gentleman

Interesting Experience of an Indianapolis
Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that
they are not cured by nerve medicine
and spring remedies; the real seat of
the mischief is lost sight of; the stom-
sch is the organic be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not
have any pain whatever in the stom-
ach, nor perhaps any of the usual
symptoms of stomach weakness. Ner-
yous dyspepsia shows itself not In the
stomach so much as in nearly every
other organ; In some cases the heart
palritates and is irregular; in others
the kidneys are affected; in others the
bowels are constlpated, with head
aches; still others are troubled with
loss of flesh and appetite, with accum-
ulation of gas, sour risIngs and heart
burn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper, of No. 81 Pros
| pect St., Indianapolis, Ind. writes as
follows: ga motive of pure gratitude
prompts me to write these few lines
regarding the new and valuable medi-
cine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
have been a sufferer from nervous
dyspepsia for the last four years; have
used various patent medicines and
other remedies without any favorable
result, They sometimes gave tempo

my sedentary habits, being book
keeper with little physical exercise,
but am glad to state that the tablets
have overcome all these obstacles, for

CROWDS THRONG
JEKYL'S GROUNDS.
The Largest Number of Guests
Ever Entertained On
the Island.
FINE CHURCH IS TO Be BUILT.
r. Hopkinson Smith, the Creator of "CoI-
onel Carter" Now Sojourning.
Notes Ct Interest.

The clubhouse at Jekyl is crowded
from roof to basement. The scene
about the place on Sunday was one of
marked animation and gayety.
There are, at present, more guests
on the island than at any time in the
history of the resort. Manager Grob
and Captain Clark are hard-pressed to
attend to the wants of the many visi-
tors.
Col. F. Hopkinson Smith, the famous
author and man of many talents, we'll
equipped in literature, art and engi-
neering, is now sojourning at Jekyl.
Colonel Smith is the author of "Col-
onel Carter of Gainesville. and other
popular stories. He is one of the most
notable guests of the club.
Joseph Pulitzer is still at Jekyl.
His chief amusement consists in
drives about the island with his ply
stefan, his only companion.
Rev. j. j. p. Perry held services at
Jekyl Sunday for the club guests. A
handsome church is one of the i'm
prove ments to be made before the
next season begins.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. r. Bishop and Miss
Bishop, of New York, accompanied by
two servants, are the latest arrivals at
the clubhouse. They passed through
the city yesterday.
The new apartment-house Is fully
occupied, and the new casino is an ap-
preciated improvement.
Ensign Archibald I'll. Davis, of the
United States Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey steamer Bache, entertained party
of friends on Sunday with a trip to
Jekyl on the launch Titania. The ex-
cursion was complimentary to Mr..

who is on tour of the
south. Those in the party were
Ensign Davis, Mr.. Palmer, Mr.. T. B.

A Suggestion About Cleanliness.

In spite of all we read about cleanli-
ness and the necessity of frequent
bathing, il is astonishing, says an ex-
change, how many mothers, careful,
perhaps, in all other particulars, allow
their children to be absolutely unclean.
The baby is bathed most ~religiously
every day, as it should be; but why
should a child in the same family. old
enough to be playing all day long and
in all kinds of places. be given a bath
but once a week, winter and summer?
There are unfortunately some moth
ers who tumble their little folks into
bed with black feet. brown necks,
dirty hands. and uncleaned finger nails.
In the care of children, as in every
thing else, there should be system.
When children are in school. their
playtime is limited, and they should
be allowed to take advantage of every
minute of it, out OF doors, if possible,
until supper time.
After their supper. which should be
light, let them have a little music or
reading, or a quiet indoor game. Then
have them prepare for bed. Necks,
ears, faces, hands and feet, should
be given a good soap and water bath
every night before going to bed; and
if possible, give a full bath Wednesday
as well at Saturday.

the right of sovereignty and the con-
ditions necessary to the maintenance
of that right, as was stated in the
words her majesty deigned to ad-
dress to the cortes by h advice of
her responsible government upon the
opening of parliament.
These amplified reforms can be
partly put into practice by means of
the path pursued by the executive
government, and partly will require the
sanction of parliament. The govern
ment is confident that it will not en-
counter insuperable obstacles to its
rapid action in his sense, looking TO
the patriotic uniformity of open re-
spect of the fundamental ideas which
underlie the application of the re-
forms.
Briefly, the law of reforms voted
by the cortes and sanctioned by the
CROWN, which is today to be applied
to Porto Rico. will form the foundation
stone of the new regime, but an ad-
ditional decree, account of which will
be given to the cortes, will amplify to
such extent these reforms that a gen
