A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia
and Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans is in
digestion OF in its chronic form, dyspep-
sia, and for the very reason that it is so
common many people neglect taking
proper treatment for what they consider
trifing stomach trouble, when as mat
ter of fact, indigestion lays the foundation
for many incurable diseases No person
with vigorous, healthy stomach will fall
a victim TO consumption. Many kidney
diseases and heart troubles date their be-
ginning from poor digestion; thin nervous
people are really so because their stom-
achs are out of gear: weary languid
faded out women owe their condition TO
imperfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet is
afflicted with weak digestion it is not sur
prising that nearly every secret patent
medicine on the market claims to be a
cure for dyspepsia, as well as a score of
other troubles. when in fact. as Dr. Wer-
thier says, there is but one genuine dys-
pepsia cure which is perfectly safe and
reliable. and moreover, this remedy is not
a patent medicine, but ii is a scientific
combination of pure pepsin free from ami
NAL matter, vegetable essences, fruit
salts and bismuth. 1t is sold by druggists
under name of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
let's. No extravagant claims are made for
them. but for indigestion or any stssach
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 results, because all the stomach
needs is a rest, which Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets give by doing the work of di-
gestion.
Druggists sell these tablets at 50 cts. per
package. Circulars and testimonials sent

COMBINE TO FORCE UP
THE PRICE OF COAL
"eadihE Company TO Lead by Mink
ing an Advance of Twenty
five Cents

Ne" York. Dec 1i-As predicted a f w
days ago would happen the expected ad
vance of TWENTY-FIVE cents a ton in an
thracite coal will be made today by the
Reading Company in Philadelphia ard
all of the other companies are expecte d
to follow within Il day or two. This wi
bring the price of stove ccal up to 81 a
ton and other grades will be correspond
insly higher
The president Of one of the anthracite
companies said yesterday that. while
there was a thorough unde standing
among the companies in regard To the
merits of the situation. there was no
agreement about the advance in prices
The weather is the controlling factor
ana all of the companies are satisfied
that the demands of the trade Justify
higher prices AT this time
four-dollar rate for stove coal is
cheap compared with the price to which
MI Mcleod advanced anthracite in Is ,
Tor he named Il price of $50 and might
have gone still higher if legislation had
not interviewed. But the situation he $
radically changed, anu according to coal
men it would be impossible to- market
the article If the price were put up much
higher. Bituminous coal is on q much
cheaper basis. and it would take away
the market for hard coal If a prob. .bitiye
figure were named
OF more moment in the anth-ac' t.
trade at the present time is the ross.-
bility of retrenching expenses and de Wis
ing way of getting more revenue out CT
existing prices. There is a grave doubs
in the minds of many persons as to
whether this is possible. in view of the
fact that any efforts in this line are
likely to be interpreted as a scheme to
form a trust.
1t is calculated. however. that the in
creaslng tendency To Capitalization of
stock ownership in the various anthra-
cite railroads will tend to produce g.eat-
er harmony of management and there Is
less likelihood of cutting prices in the fu-
ture.

spoutine Blue Clay.

A strange account is given of the per-
formances of government artesian
well at Lower Brule agency, in South
Dakota. When first driven, the well
threw up column of water six inches
in diameter. After awhile it began to
spout, alternately, sand and water.
Recently blue clay has taken the place
of both sand and water. There seems
to be an endless supply of the clay,
and the pressure upon it in the bowels
of the earth must be tremendous. 1t

A. WOMAN FOR SPY.
How Spania rds Tried to Induce Miss
Chamberlain to Go to
Washington.

A woman in Montreal who was ap-
preached by the Spaniards to do work
for them has been found. Her name il
Miss Chamberlain, and her case. was
reported to the consul-general about
month ago, but the latter and his as
sistant refused to make known her
identity. This is the story she tells:
"About five weeks ago l was intro
duced to Spanish gentleman. He was
big and dark. His real name l never
knew, for l am certain that the name
he gave me was not his real one, but
[ know he was Spanish. He professed
to take great liking to me. and found
excuses to see me often. He was very
nice, and l must confess liked him q
little. We often talked of the war, but
it never struck me at that time that he
was in any way personally connected
with it. This came later. One day he
spoke to me about a certain business of
Importance he had in the United States.
and very much regretted the fact that
the war prevented him from attend
ing to it personally. After beating
about the bush he finally came to the
point that he would like me to go there
and look after the matter for him, as
he would trust me with his life.
AS he had given me some very
beautiful presents, and as rather liked
him, l told him that would be delight
ed to assist him if l could, and if he
trusted me enough, and besides the idea
OF the trip rather appealed to me. He
was profuse in his thanks at my will
ingness, and asked me to give him q
decided promise then and there. I
asked him what sort of work it was
and where he wanted me to go. He said
that he wanted me to go to Washing
ton and that it would be necessary to
get in the good graces of some very
high officials. Further than that he
would not tell. l asked him for few
days to consider the matter, ana he
allowed me this.
Before he went away he asked me
for my measurement, and the next day
l received dream of u travelling dress.
began to like the idea more and more,
but when he came the day upon which
received the dress and pressed me to
go, and when he came for my answer,
l told him that / was cfraid the trip
was too risky. 1 did not see so much
of him after that, and understood that
he sailed for Europe shortly after.

then l might perhaps be in prison

You held me on your knees: 10
