A PECULIAR FACT.
Thousands of People Have Dyspepsia Tn
 Its Worst Form and Do Not Know 1t.

A weak stomach is the cause of about nine tenths of all disease, yet in most cases the wrong thing Is treated and the true cause overlook ed.
 This is because a weak digestion produces sy mptoms resembling near ly every disease because 1t weakens and disturbs the action of every nerve and organ in the body; poor digestion causes heart trouble, kid ney troubles, lung weakness and es- peeially nerve us break down or ner- 2, <.ss srostration, the nerves cannot VOussT,<ep~.. md tear unless gen stand the weof--S .ec' u,hole. erously fed by well dlgeSrerss- some food.
 Keep the digestion good and no one need fear the approach of dis ease.
 Mrs. H. M. Lee, of Rochester, N. .Y., writes: For the sake of suffering hu- manity l want to say that from child 1 had very weak stomach, threw up my food very often after eating and after few years nervous dyspepsia resulted and for more than twenty years 1 have suffered mex pressibly.

 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is not a patent medicine, but they contain only the fruit salts, digestive acids and peptones necessary to help the weak stomach to promptly and thoroughly digest food.
 All druggists sell Stuart's DysDep- sia Tablets at 50 cents for full sized package and anyone suffering from nervous dyspepsia, sour stomach, headache. acidity, gases, belching, etc, will find them not only q quick relief but a radical cure,

to find out the truth. and they discussed 1t all

ton when Mr. Dunno consented to have the
papers put in permanent form, and the re-
suit is volume bound in Mr.. Dooley's ma
tional colors and decorated with his ma
tional embem--the spirit-moving shamrock
published by Small. Maynard & Co. of
Boston.
A. readers will appreciate the keen wit
and delightful humor of Mr.. Dooley, and
the more o5servant will be impressed with
the sound philosophy that underlies the
sayings OF the genial but skeptical and
ever cautious autocrat of the Archey road.
That the reader may see Mr.. Dooley as
the author sees him, we reproduce the fol-
lowing pen portrait from the preface:
Among them lives and prospers the trav-
eler anarcheologist, historian, social OBJ
server, saloon keeper. economist and phil
osopher, who has not been out of the ward
for twenty-five years but twict." He
reads the newspapers with solemn care,
heartily hates them, and accepts all they
print for the sake of drowning Hennes-
sy's rising protest against his logic. From
the cool heights of life in the Archey road,
uninterrupted by the Earring noises of
crckets and cows, he observes the passing
show and meditates thereon. He is
opulent in good advice, as becomes a man
of his station; for he has mastered most of
the obstacles in business career, and by
leading prudent and temperate life has
established himself so well that he owns
his own house and furniture and Is only
slightly behind on his license. 1t would be
indicate to give statistics as to his age.
Mr.. Hennessy says he was a grown man
whin tn pixies was out in forty-elght, an
1 was hedge-high, an I'm near ffty-five."
Mr.. Dooley says Mr.. Hennessy is eighty
He closes discussion on his own age with a
remark, I'm old enough to know BETTER
He has served his country with distinction.
His conduct of the important office of cap
tain of his precinct QS73-75) was highly
commended, and there was some talk of
nominating him for alderman. AT the ex-
piration of his term he was personally

Shrinkage In Marriages

from The Philadelphia Press.
Mar ages have fallen off 1883 In New
Jersey in the la s. year, according to ad-
vance sheets of the annual report of the
state board of health. The total number Of
rlarr. ges in he state durinB the last
twe-ve months is i9 213, as against 1911 IN
1897 This shrinl,5 re is due % the assnge
last winter of a law which provldes that
nor. residents Of the state who go there 10
te married must take with them affidavi.s
from the parents of the woman In the case,
showing that ,hsy are not opposed to the
alliance. Last year 1000 couples crossed
the state line to wed. This year there were
only 262 couples. The law enacted last WIN
ter was due more to the abuse of their
privileges by preachers and justices of the
peace at Camden than to any other cause.
Cabmen stationed themselves at the ferries
in that city and as soon as couple ap-
peared drove them to the proper parson.
The minister then shared his fee with the

MR.. DOOLEY:
A MODERN CLASSIC

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
One cannot tell Chicago readers much
about Philosopher Dooley. Discriminating
people in this city have read his sayings
for several years They have laughed over
Hennessy's discontinue when he has been
overwhelmed by the flood of Mr.. Dooley's
logic or crushed beneath the weight OF the
philosophers erudition. and they have put
aside the paper with moist eyes and lump
in their throat when Mr.. Dooley told the
simple incident of the arrest of Mrs. Scan
lan's boy.
Modern classics received genuine addi-

as the founder of it's race, weighed four
and one-half tons.
There has just been delivered to the I'm
ion Railroad company of Pittsburg the
largest engine in the world. weighing $4,000
pounds, or 331a times much as the ia
nous Rocket. The line will have several
of these giant locomotives, which are de-
signed to run over a road twelve miles
long, connecting several furnaces and steel
works in the neighborhood of Pittsburg.
They will have TO drag heavy loads over
steep grades, and therefore they are built
so heavy and powerful. Bor four miles of
the road the grade is seventy feet to the
mile, and two thousand yards of it has
grade of nearly 127 feet to the mile.
THE GROWTH.
These engines are a striking example of
the growth of the steam locomotive in re-
cent years. In the cyclopedia of the edi-
ton of 1888 it is stated that 1.-THE largest
engine yet constructed in the United States
is said to be in use on the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad, having a weight of about
100 900 pounds"
It is not SO many years since 1888, and
here we have engines weighing over three
times what the largest engine in the United
states W6lSHeQ lHeH. Lie ichS III oNSA GA
of this monster engine and tender is more
than Go feet, and the driving wheels are
"a inches in diameter In its tank 1t car
ries 5000 gallons of water and ten tons of
coal.
The American Manufacturer says of this
engine: 1.-The enormous business which this
locomotive is designed to handle can be
appreciated to the best advantage only by
one who is familiar with the conditions at
Pittsburg. The railway traffic last year
was 36,679,415 tons, exclusive of freight in
transit, and of this amount 2.5i3340 tons
were of iron. ore and merchandise, 10, 800 900
tons were of coal, and 1885, O75 tons were of
coke"
The total number of cars engaged in this
business was 1,547.167, the largest cars up to
1898 holding twenty-five TONS Now that the
5O-ton steel cars are to be used, 1t became
a necessity to have very heavy and pow
erful locomotive, and the one illustrated is
the largest, heaviest and most powerful ev-
er constructed.
This incidentally gives one a startling
