Editor the Gazette: Every Will
mington merchant is indebted to Mrs.
\. ID. Warner and the other ladies for
the kind and strong words which they
uttered in defence Of our local mer-
chants at the discussion of 1.-THE
Christmas Shopping Question: at the
NewCentury Club on Tuesday last.
l understand that Mrs. Warner
'eloquently and strongly recommended
the ladies of tho club to patronizo the
home market, as Wilmington merchants
were worthy of their patronage and the
clerks were as petite and courteous as
she knew OF anywhere.
L trust these words will be needed
by the ladies of this city. Few people
here realize how much Wilmington is
being impoverished commercially and
is being injured all round by so many
people persisting in taking their money
to Philadelphia and elsewhere. to the
extent of from one to two millions of
dollars u year, when in most cases they
could do Just as well at home. II this
large sum Of money, or even one hall
OF 1T, was spent in our city, Whining
ton would be much brighter, buster
and more wideawake city; our large
stores would bo larger, more clerks
would be employed, new buildings
would, be erected, and the city i'm
proved generally.
Our local merchants are very heavily
taxed to support our city government
and carry on our schools. Does not
loyalty to the best interests of the city,
not to speak of the Golden Rule, ii
suggest that the people of Wilmington,
TO much larger extent than is now
done, patronize and encourage the local
stores, which are now so well stocked
with seasonable goods and holiday sup,
plies, at prices as low as in any city il
| the country? A Local Merchant.

French Blue Cloth Gown, from fiarper,s Bazaar.
!, 1888. by Harper y BROTHERS,

A French blue cloth gown, with a
trimming of rolled velvet bands in a
rich dark shade, has the latest varia-
tion of the seamless skirt, which
reaches only 10 the knees, while the
rest is a graceful shaped founce, ex-
tending up the front of the skirt in the
form of an apron panel. The looped
bands of velvet decorate the apron in
popular redingote effect, and the con-
tinuation of the fold indicates the out
line of the flounce, whose width at the
hem is four and quarter yards. The
pattern furnished by Harper's Bazaar,
where the gown appears, gives directions
for making with a bias seam in the
back and with fulness at the waist if
preferred. ~

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its
Excessive Use.

Common soda ls all right in its
place and indispensable in the kit
chen and for cooking and washing
purposes. but 1t was never intended
for medicine, aud people who use it
as such will some day regret it.
We refer to the common use of
soda to relieve heartburn or Self
stomach, habit which thousands of
people practice almost daily, and one
which is fraught with danger; more
over the soda only gives temporary
relief and III the end the stomach
trouble gets worse and worse.
The Soda acts as a mechanical irri-
tant to the walls of the stomach and
bowels and cases are on record where
it accumulated i'll the iutestines, caus-
ing death by lnflamation or portion
tits.
DR.. Landeon recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stom-
ach (acid dyspepsia) an excellent
preparation sold by druggists under
the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets. These tablets are large 90 grain
lozcDge very pleasant to Taste and
and contain the natural acids, pep
tones and digestive elements essen
tial to good digestion, and when taken
after meals they digest the food per.
fectly and promptly before it has
time to ferment, sour and poison the
blood ard nervous system.
DIR. Wuerth states that he invari-
ably uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
in all cases of Stomach arrangements
and finds them u certain cure not on
ly FOR sour stomach. but by promptly
dgesting the food they create heal
thy appetite, increase flesh and
strengthen the action Of the heart
aud liver. They are not a cathartic
but intended only for stomach dis
eases and weakness and will be found
reliable in any stomach trouble ex.
