WHOLESOME ADVICE
For People Whose Stomachs are Weak
and Digestion Poor.

DIR. Harlandson, whose opinion IN dis
eases is worthy of attention, says when
man or woman comes to me complaint
ing of Indigestion, loss of appetite, ecur
stomach, belching, sour watery-risings,
headaches, sleeplessness, lack of ambi-
ton and a general run down nervous
condition 1 advise them to take after
each meal one or two of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, allowing the tablet to
dissolve in the mouth, and thus mingle
with the food eaten. The result is that
the food is speedily digested before it
has time to sour and ferment. These
tablets will digest food anyway whether
the stomach wants to or not, because they
contain harmless digestive princi pies,
vegetable essences, pepsin and Golden
Seal which supply just what the weak
stomach lacks.
have advised the tablets with great
success, both in curing indigestion and
to build up the tissues, increase flesh in
thin nervous patients, whose real trouble
was dyspepsia and as soon as the stomach
was put to rights they did not know
what sickness was.
A fifty cent package of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets can be bought at any
drug store, and as they are not a secret
patent medicine, they can be used as
often as desired with full assurance thai
they contain nothing harmful IN the
slightest degree; on the contrary, any
one whose stomach is at all deranged
will find great benefit from the use o
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. They will
cure any form of stomach weakness OF

PROF. LANDERs' TESTIMONY
The We1I-knOwn and Eminent Edu-
Gator Expresses his Opinion on
Bishop McCabe's Lecture ON Libby.

L have heard Chaplain McCabe's lect-
ure "The Bright Side of Life in Libby
Prison" Aside from his great popular
ity in the ministry this lecture alone
has given him a high reputation
Throughout the United States. He speaks
from the experience of an actual partici-
part in the scenes and incidents of
prison life. Besides picturing the con-
ditions of the inmates of Libby Prison
more vividly than any pen can portray,
he describes that side of prison life that
is so little know outside; how the
"boys" make the best of everything to
keep mp their spirit, beguile the weary
hours, AID make their life then endur-
able.
The lecture is replete with incidents
and description that give 1t intense in
terest. Chaplain McCabe's reputation
as singer is scarcely less than that of a
lecturer. There are few singers in this
country that possess more power of ex-
preston in song than he.
| l am glad to have the opportunity
of hearing him again. S. j. LANDERs.

can and does bear cheerful testimony.

II is the popular theory that woman
IS the deadly enemy of tobacco; that all

Uncertain, coy, and hard TO please,

There are shrewish wives who snlTr

fecto's delicious perfume. But they are
exceptions.
There are women who persistently
and mistakenly seek the rear seats of
open cars and look daggers at the man
who, unmindful OF their invasion or
the smokers reserve, puffs placidly at
a Wheeling or pulls lazily at a short
stemmed pipe. But these are not the
rule.
There are women who pirate OF the
sin of burning money when ii could b.

These wot not that this wasting fire is
indeed burning of incense upon the al
tar of contentment, votive to the Ian
guorous luxury of an enlightened soul
at perfect peace with all the world and
willing to leave the savage and the sim
ner alike to his " devices and his
f~oreordained fate. These women do
not count except as examples OF q type.
But there are other women, broad OF
mind and sweet OF soul, who are court
eu, admired, and loved. They enjoy the
liberties Of life, the privilege Of doing
as they please, and enjoying this
themselves. they accord it to all the
