All European travellers will recall
with pleasure the charming effects OBJ
tanned at the mountain resorts in
Switzerland by turning flashlights of
colOred rays on nearby mountain cas-
CadeS. At the summit of Mount Lowe,
i'm California, this idea is applied on a
scale and under atmospheric cOndi-
tions never before available. The gi-
gantic scarohlight which was placed
on the top Of the Liberal Arts build
ing, was one of the we'll remembered
sights cf the Worlds fair As it's rays
were projected upward to the north
ward on the passing steamer or on the
merry CrOwus of the Midway" it con-
stituted an untailing source of COM
mcnt and awakened endless curiosity.

that appliance himself had any idea
OF the latest possibilities of his instru-

DIR. WURTH'S OPINION
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN
MEDICINE.
A Remarkably Successful Remedy
for Dyspepsia, Indigestion and
Stomach Troubles.

DIR. Wurth I'm commenting ON recent
discoveries in medicine, said: There IL
none which is certain TO be so valuable
and far-reaching I'm benefit as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets the new stomach
remedy; I say far reaching, because
people little realize how important a
sound stomach and vigorous digestion
is TO every man, woman and child.
Indigestion is the starting point of
consumption, heart disease. Bright's
disease. diabetes. nervous prostration,
liver troubles; why is this SO? Simply
because every nerve, muscle and tissue
in our bodies is created and nourished
from the food we eat. If that food is,
by reason of a weak stomach, COM
PEELED to lie for hours. a sour ferment-
ing mass of half digested food. it pols-
ons the blood and nervous system, cree
ates gas which distends the stomach
and bowels, causing pressure on the
heart, lungs and other organs, and seri-
| ously impeding their action.
He says further. the point to direct
attention is not the nerves. nor heart,
| nor lungs,nor kidneys, but the stomach,
| the first cause of all the mischief.
The remedy to use for indigestion and
weak stomachs is not some cathartic,
| but u remedy which will digest the
| food, increase the flow of gastric Juice,
| absorb the gases. and Stuarts Dyspep-
| sa Tablets will accomplish exactly this
| result in any case of stomach trouble.
| because these tablets are composed of
! the digestive acids aseptic pepsin.
| Golden Seal and bismuth. pleasant to
| taste, and not being patent medicine,
| can be used by anyone with perfect
| safety. | believe Stuarts Dyspepsia
| Tablets will cure any form of indiges-
| ton and stomach trouble except cancer
| of stomach.
Full size packages of Stuart's Dys-
| pepsia Tablets are sold by druggists at
| so cents or by mail from F. A. Stuart
| Co, Marshall, Mich. A book on stom-
| ach diseases, together with thousands
| of testimonials. will be sent by address,
| ing above or call on your druggist for
| them.

Miss De Guyster, who had borne with
resignation the mere inspection of her
clothes, lost patience when this unde-
sirable person had stared rudely into
her very eyes. The delicate pink of her
cheeks flushed momentarily to a crim-
son richness. She now despised her
nelghbor as keenly as her neighbor
detested her. So they rode on side by
side, each wishing the other u thous-
and miles away.
At the next corner two people got
out and the place in the seat opposite
was taken by a soldier, a private, in
uniform. His face was saffron from
tropical service and he looked deplor-
ably weak and i'll. In fact, he had
scarcely seated himself before his head
fell back and he collapsed, in a half

With the spring of Il panther, the
Tough Girl was at his side. She Coiled
a lean arm about his neck, pillowed
his head on the frayed gingham dress
and swiftly opened his blouse at the
throat. He was rough looking chap.
Perhaps that was why she now glared
with defiance and jealousy, at the Girl
"He belongs to my class. He is there
fore, mine. You shan't touch him."
The Girl from the Avenue looked
mystined. but at the same time very
concerned and sympathetic. After an
instants hesitation. she drew forth an
odd little silver filigrec- work, and hand
ed it to her enemy, saying softly, TRY
this, please; l am sure it will revive
him"
The Offering was accepted, albeit
with a bad grace. After two or three
| shifts, the soldier sat up, and the con-
ductOr came to inquire. in most solicit
Gus fashion, at what street he wished
| to stop. 1t appeared that he had al
| ready reached his destination, for with
out thanking either of his Samaritans
and with an oath that severely shocked
| at least one Of them, he signified in
| the same breath his contempt for his
weakness and his desire to alight. They
watched him walk painfully up the
steps of the hospital on the corner and
