A POPULAR MISTAKE

The national disease OF Americans Is in
digestion or In its chronic form, dyspep-
STA. and fer the very reason that IL Is so
common many people neglect taking
proper treatment for what they consider
trifilng stomach trouble. when. as mat

tion for many incurable diseases. NO

kidney diseases and heart troubles date
their beginning from poor digestion: thin,
nervous people are really so because their
stomachs are out Of gear; weary. languid.
faded out women owe their condition 10
imperfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet Is
afflicted with weak digestion II is not sur
prising that nearly every secret patent

NO SALUTES.
1t was noticeable that neither vessel

which were in the harbor. Among these
were the cruiser Brooklyn monitor Puri-

On the Puritan the tampions which were
IN the guns were plainly seen from the
deck Of the Kentucky.
Both the Kearsarge and Kentucky were
launched with their military masts in po-
sition just as they will be when the ships
are turned over TO the government and
placed in commission. This is the first
time on record where battleshlps have
been launched with military masts on
board. Usually battleships and cruisers

point where the vessels are ready TO re-
