evening. We had d merry time of it,
indeed, and when the two ladies saw US

they could have mistaken one for the

taller by a full inch than Carr and

IS IT A TRIFLE?
THAT COMMON TROUBLE, ACID
DYSPEPSIA OR SOUR
STOMACH.
Now Recognized as Cause of Seri-
Gus Disease.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach, is q form
Of indigestion resulting from fermenta-
ton of the food. The stomach being too
weak to promptly digest it, the food
remains until fermentation begins, fill
ing the stomach with gas and a bitter,
sour, burning taste in the mouth is
often present. This condition soon be-
comes chronic and being an everyday
occurrence is given but little attention.
Because dyspepsia is not Immediately
fatal. many people do nothing for the
trouble.
Within d recent period remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
and is now becoming rapidly used and
prescribed as a radical cure for every
form of dyspepsia.
Stuart's dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold
by druggists everywhere at so cents
per package. 1t is prepared by the
Stuart Chemical Co., Marshall, Mich,
and while it promptly and effectually
restores a vigorous digestion, at the
same time is perfectly harmless and
will not injure the most delicate ston-
ach, but on the contrary by giving per-
feet digestion strengthens the stomach,
improves the appetite and makes life
worth living.

a capital joke on my wife. I suppose
the joke did not seem quite as funny
to her as it did to me, for a suspicion
of pout appeared on her pretty lips,
and she said: I'm glad to be so anus
ing, Richard; but you don't look a bit
more like yourself than the man that l
saw yesterday who wasn't you; so how
could 1 know you were yourself?'
"Of course, you couldn't, my DEAR" 1
said. .'And now, Mary, it is IL o'clock,
and if you don't mind lunching with
husband in his Office coat, l want you
to come and lunch with me-"
The pouts disappeared from MaryS
lips, for she is foolishly fond of taking
luncheon with me down town. Lunch
con over, l walked with her to the cor
ner, where she was to take a car for
home. She had concluded that her one
brilliant success in finding the man
from Omaha was sufficient, and she
would not try again.

we stood on the corner talking. Mary
had been half-penitent and very affec-

and gave Mary two hearty kisses on

for she looked at me with some bewil-

wrath.

repeated. Richard Bruce, are you

"Mr. Bruce, 1 say 1 did see you with
