Female Wage Farmers.

A recent bulletin of the United
States department of labor contains
some interesting information as to
the ways in which American women
earn money.
1t is stated that in 1870, 9.63 per
cent. of all the women of the country
were employed in remunerative EN-
ployments, but twenty years later, as
exhibited by the census returns of
1890, the proportion Of women thus
employed had reached 1881 per cent.
of all the population of that sex.
1t is apparent to the most casual
and cursory observer that the mum
ber of women in the various fields of
industry will be in 1899 very much
greater relatively to the whole mum
ber of women than at the close of
any previous decade. This increase
in the number of women entering
new industries has been accompanied
by a decided decrease in the number
of women engaged in domestic and
personal service.
The figures for New Jersey and
Pennsylvania are of especial inter
est here. In 1870, in Pennsylvania,
1916 per cent. of all persons over ten
years of age in gainful occupations
were women; in 1880, the percent
age was 14.90 in 1890, 1884.
In New Jersey the percentages are;
1870, IS per cent 1880, 1858; 1890
1880 Thus, in 1890, in New Jersey,
nearly one-fifth OF all the persons in
gainful pursuits were women.
In some of the New England states
and in certain Southern states the
percentage was much higher at the
last census. The employment OF
colored women in field labor in the
South and the large number OF
women engaged in the Eastern
factories explain the high percentage
in those communities.
The bulletin announces that the

not hysterical people. We can

The Florida Limited VIII Again Run on

The Florida Limited, which is the syn

way trains, and which during its former
service has been a prime favorite for tourists
from the North seeking the mild climate of
Florida, will be placed in service by the
Southern Railway about the first week in

Stomach troubles are so common and in
many cases so obstinate to cure that people

claiming to be radical, permanent cure for
dyspepsia and indigestion. Many such

Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly
different in one important respect from ordi-
nary proprietary medicines for the reason
that they are not secret patent medciue,
no secret is made Of their ingredients, but
analysis shows them to contain the natural
digestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin, the
digestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hy-
drastis and nux. They are not cathartic,
neither do they act powerfully on any organ,
but they cure indigestion on the common
sense plan Of digesting the food eaten
promptly, thoroughly before it has time to
ferment. sour and cause the mischief This is
the only secret Of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles because
they act entirely upon the bowels, whereas
the whole trouble is really in the stomach,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after
meals, digest the food. That is all there is
to it. Food not digested or half digested is
poison, as it creates gas, acidity, headaches,
palpitation Of the heart, loss of flesh and APP
petite, and many other troubles which are
often called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere at
so cents per package. Address Stuart Co.,
