A gang of Traction company men
were employed yesterday in doing
some repair work along South Main
avenue, between Jackson and Wash
burn streets.
Alterations and repairs We're made
upon the large pipe organ at st. Da-
vid's Episcopal church Monday. Great
credit is due the enterprise and in
dustry of the committee, comprising
Daniel Elsinger David Holmes, T..
owen Charles, Thomas Jones and
Lewis Watkins, who undertook and
carried to a successful completion this
delicate task. 1t was decidedly ven
turesOme on their part, owing to the
difficulties and dangers OF making mis-
takes in replacing the many small
parts. The committee saved $50, which
it would have cost to have had an ex-
perts assistance.
At the regular session Monday even
ing of the Simpson Social circle in the
lecture room of the Simpson Methodist
church, officers for the ensuing term
were elected. Miss Margaret Lever
presided. The following are the Off

CALL A SPADE A SPADE"
Some People too Modest to Confde in their Physcan-A Womsn
cd ,ss:ss Serious ss Disease BY Csa us, Mss ana tn: Only
From the Evening Ne,rs, Detroit, Mich.

The doctor came in haste and found his
patient again in great agony from a splitting
headache. II was his fifth call on the same
patient, and each time to treat the same
trouble. With suspicion that his diagno.
sis was incorrect and that he was treating a
symptom and not the disease, he said to her
MADAM, IL is useless for me to visit you
again. You are keeping from me facts and
symptoms which II Is necessary | should
know. The patient finally acknowledged
that, through false modesty, she had not
told him afi. Then she told how she had
suffered from female weakness but had kept
it from hm-too modest 10 speak. The old
doctor was disgusted at such prudishness,
but when he knew the facts, cured her easily
and quickly.
The following case differs from the above,
only in the fact that the patient is not afraid
to speak, and to "call a spade aspade."
"Words fail to describe the suffering
endured before | used DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People" said Mrs. Alexander
b. Clark, of All Michigan Avenue, Detroit

week for nearly six years, had to stay il

every week regularly. First / would motto,

VALUABLE DOG SHOT.

"Rover" the large Newfoundland
dog, owned by Merchant d. ID. Evans,
OF South Main avenue, is no more.
Patiol Thomas Evans gave him
his quietus yesterday by shooting him.
Mr.. Evans, though loathe to part with
the animal, which was a fine one, gave
his consent. The dog has always been
favorite with the children residing
in the vicinity, and was valued watch
dog. Lately. however. he seems to have
developed a tendency to resent the lib

cATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant Simple, but Effectuai Cure
for II.


Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or
bloating sensation after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or watery-
risings, a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and
difficult breathing; headache, fickle
appetite, nervousness and a general
played out, languid feeling.
There Is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and If the inter-
ior of the stomach could be seen 1t
would show a Shiny, inhamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily.
thoroughly digested before it has
time to ferment and irritate the deli
cate mucous surfaces of the stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy di-
gestion Is the one necessary thing to DO
and when normal digestion is secured
the catarrhal condition will have dis
appeared.
According to DR. Harlanson the SAT-
est and best treatment Is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed of Dias-
| tase, Aseptic Pepsin. n little Nux, Gold
en- Seal and fruit acids.
| These tablets can now be found at
| all drug stores under the name of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being
| a patent medicine, can be used with
| perfect safety and assurance that
| healthy appetite and thorough diges-
| tion will follow their regular use at
| ter meals.
| Mr.. n. j. Booher, of 21l0 Dearborn
| St, Chicago. ILL.,, writes "Catarrh is
a local condition resulting from a ne
| elected cold in the head, whereby the
| lining membrane of the nose becomes
| intlame1 and the poisonous discharge
| therefrom, passing backward into the
throat, reaches the stomach, thus pro-
| iucing catarrh of the stomach. Medi-
