Cuba's Bright Future.

The proposition of Chicago meat
packing houses to erect storage ware
rooms in Cuba for the distribution of
American meats is but a suggestion
Of what Cuba may become in the
future as a market for the products
the West Indies have bought what
they must from this country, but that
was not what they might have used
"ere the possibilities Of the island
coaXed or the trade turned this way.
Cuba is fertile section, and if the
advantages are carried to n good ac-
count nature has so endowed the
rich territory that every acre is a
fortune. Since the American troops
landed in Santiago new experience
has commenced. The Cuban now is
being taught the lesson of industry.
If he will work he will have money.
Under a new dispensation the ma
tural resources of Cuba will be devel
oped and there is no doubt that the
wants Of he islanders will expand
rapid.---. the contact ofthe people
with energetic Americans The
Cuban will find when he works that
he can procure many things that in
the past he has lived without, and, as
it is human nature to want all we eau
get if we know il is to be had, the
growing demands Of an industrial
Cuba are not TO be considered lightly,
As the island is PERMITTED to use it,
energies in reaping the bounties OF
agriculture and industry, Cuba should
become one of the best customers OF
the American producer and manufac
turer; and the movement of the big
Chicago meat packers toward Cuba
emphasizes the conjecture that in the
near future the United States should
find there one of the best markets
within reach.
Commerce with the West Indie
should increase decidedly from thi
time on.

Maroon might have as many wives as he
pleased, but few had more than two on
account of the expense, for on making a
present to one wife tho husband was
obliged to bestow a gift of equal value on
each of the others. When a girl was old
enough to be married, 1t was usual for the
parents to kill pig to make feast for
their neighbors, rum flowed plentifully
and the people amused themselves dancing
and singing, Each guest was expected to
place small piece of money in the girl g
mouth. This entertainment was the in
timation on the part of the family that the
eligible young men might come forward
with their suits, The girls debut in Ma

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and
Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans is in
digestion or in its chronic form, dyspepsia,
aud for the very reason that it is so common
many people neglect taking proper treatment
for what they consider trihing stomach
trouble, when as a matter of fact. indigestion
lays the foundation for many incurable dis
eases No person with vigorous, healthy
stomach will fall victim to consumption
Many 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 condi-
tion to imperfect indigestion.
When nearly every person you meet is
afflicted with weak digestion it is not sur.
prisng that nearly every secret patent
medicine on the market claims to be cure
for dyspepsia, as well as score of other
troubles, when in fact, as DR.. Werthier says,
there is but one genuine dyspepsia cure which
is perfectly safe and reliable, and moreover,
this remedy is not patent medicine, but it is
a scientific combination of pure pepsin (free
from animal matter), vegetable essences,
fiuit salts and bismuth. 1t is sold by drug
gists under name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets No extravagant claims are made fol
Them but for indigestion or any stomach
trouble, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are far
ahead of any remedy yet discovered. They
act on the food eaten, no dieting is necessary,
simply eat all the wholesome food you want
and these tablets will digest it. A cure re-
suits, because all the stomach needs is a rest,
which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give by
doing the work of digestion.
Druggists sell these tablets at so cents per
package. Circulars and testimonials sent free
