urday night. AS is well known.
there is similar club on this side. the

The origin of the "Fifteen's" comes
from the fact that the limit of MEM
bership In the Fourteen has from the
beginning been limited to thirty-five,
and awaiting an opportunity to Join
are many representative men of the
city and this side. The only vacancies
occur when a member dies, as none
resign. consequently it was decided to
organize another club to he conducted
on equal and, if possible. a more elab-
crate scale than the Fourteen Friends
At Saturday nights meeting of the
Fifteen the following officers were
elected: Matthias Schneider. president
John J. Gordon. vice. president: Max

treasurer. The next meeting will he
held Saturday night. The first public

PECULIAR P0IS0NS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of Imperfect Digestion
of Food.

Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs of GER
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of
disease and death called by scientists
PtOmaines) are usually the result of
imperfect digestion of food; the result
of indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly di-
gest the food. The result is a heavy,
sodden mass which ferments dhe first
process of decay, poisoning the blood,
making it thin, weak and lacking in red
corpuscles; poisoning the brain, Caus-
ing headaches and pain in the eyes
Bad digestion irritates the heart,
causing palpitation and finally bring
ing on disease of this very important
organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal, and
weak digestion shows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but i'm weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist. Huxley.
said the best start in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest
food properly, because they lack the
proper quantity of digestive acids Oac-
tic and hydrochloric) and peptogenic
products; the most sensible remedy in
all cases OF indigestion is to take after
each meal one or two of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, because they supply in
a pleasant, harmless form all the ele-
ments that weak stomachs lack
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets will cure every form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, a bright eye and clear
complexion, because all these result
only from wholesome food well di-
gested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets at so cents for full
sized packages or by mail by enclosing
price to Stuart Co., Marshall Mich,
but ask your druggist first.

Services yesterday morning at the
Hickory Street Presbyterian church
were unusually interesting and impress
sive from the fact that they were held
as memorial to the memory of the
deceased members who have passed
away during the past year. The sub
ject or Rev. Mr.. Nordt was taken from
the gospel of st. John, ii-2: "Lazar-
Gus, our friend sleepeth."
The discourse of Mr.. Nordt was beau
tiful and edifying. To the memories of
the deceased members he paid glowing
tributes, and asked an earnest prayer
for the eternal happiness of their souls
A programme of special music was
given by the church choir under the
direction of Chorister Schmidt.
During the past year forty-two of
this congregation have passed away.
The oldest as a member and in age was
Jacob Pontius, who died a few months
ago.

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. W. 4. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth Of
her little girl:
"DEAR Mrs. PISKHAM:--It is with
pleasure that add my testimony to
your list, hoping that IL may induce
others to avail themselves Of your val
liable medicine.
after the birth of my kttle girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. had leucorrhna badly, and q
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
"Itook medicine from good doctor,
but IL seemed to do no good. / was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when i read your advertisement in a
paper. / sent at once for bottle Of
Lydia T.. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle felt SO much better that 1
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.
~ think IL is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is n wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice Of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. II Mrs. Pax
ton had written TO Mrs. Pinhham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn, Mass.
