PECULIAR P0ISONS.
GENERATION THE HUMAN BODY

The Result of Imperfect Indigestion. of
 Food.
 Every living thing plant or animal. con- tains within itself the germs of certain de- cay and death.
 In the human body these germs of disease and death (called by scientists Ptomaines). are usually the result of imperfect diges- tion of food; the result of indigestion or dyspepsia.
 The stomach, from abuse, weakness, does not promptly and thoroughly digest the food. The result is heavy, sodden mass which ferments (the first process of decay) poisoning the blood, making it thin, weak and lacking in red corpuscles; poisoning the brain causing headaches and pain in the eyes,
 Bad digestion irritates the heart, causing palpitation and finally bringing on disease of this very important organ.
 Poor digestion poisons the kidneys, caus- ing Brights disease and diabetes.
 And this is so because every organ, every nerve depends upon the stomach alone for nourishment and renewal, and weak digestion shows itself not only in loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak nerves and muddy complexion.
 The great English scientist, Huxley, said
  Weak stomachs fail to digest food properly. because they lack the proper quantity of digestive acids Qactic and hydrochloric) and peptogenic products; the most sensible remedy in all cases of indigestion, is to take after each meal, one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because, they supply in a pleasant, harmless form all the elements that weak stomachs lack.
 The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure every form of stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach.
 They increase flesh, insure pure blood, strong nerves, a bright eye and clear com plexion, because all these result only from wholesome food well digested Nearly all druggists sell yStuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets at 5O' cents a full sized package or by mail by enclosing price to Stuart Co.,.

 Death in the Family.
SOME RELATIVES DIE OFTEN
Men Send Postal Cards to Themselves Bearing News sofBereavements, But the Officers Are "On"-Naughty
 Tricks of Good Sailors.

Like the relation of boardlng-school teacher to her scholars is that of naval officer to his ships crew. Not unnaturally the navy resents this view, but the fact remains. These stories go to demonstrate the point
 A sailor cannot go off on leave of several days without first getting permission from the executive officer of the ship, and as It would be utterly demoralzing to the dis cipline to have the men going off for no ostensible reason than a spree, which Is what they do as rule, a legitimate excuse is demanded, which casts over 1t certain dignity that would otherwise be lacking.
 EXCUSE NEVER VARIES.
 So. the men rack their brains for a good excuse, just as children do when they want to go home early from school and their parents have sent no note to the teacher to that effect, and instead of saying, like the children, that they are sick, the sailors vary it by their people want them because of the serious illness of some member of the family. It's no use for the sailor to play 'possum, because he would promptly be sent to the hospital for examination and would be quickly returned to duty Wherein tn navy has a distinct advantage over the school teachers. It is curious thing that with the originality and in- genuity sailor invariably possesses he never gets a new reason for wanting to leave. Perhaps mothers ill'' may have become a tradition from which they dare not vary. Or perhaps, they consider the heart of the sternest executive would be melted by such a doleful tale certain it is that if a common seaman were to ask for 1nox fn.a fba fla,a tInf h ato officer would regard him as wonder.
 A CASE IN POINT.
 The other day one of the men was some- what in disgrace through negligence in per forming his duties and brought down upon himself a severe reprimand The officer knew quite well that the man was sulking because leave had been refused him in spite of the urgent plea that sister was ill., a tale that the officer knew to be untrue and originated in the fact that the men had just been paid off and the money was burning in their pockets. Illness in the mems families never fails to break out just after the paymaster has been around. When a sailor has money he is never con- tent until it has been spent. There are men in the navy who send home tidy sums, but they are regarded as phenomenal. The man who couldn't get leave braced up after he had been reprimanded, realizing the error of his way, and just at that time he was appointed orderly to one of ftfe heutenants and performed his duties so well that at their conclusion the lieutenant told him that he would be glad to do any thing for him at any time. At which the man beamed, saluted and retired. Now, the lieutenant knew of the previous com

 ONCE TOO OFTEN.
 It was another man who met with a re- tort from his officer, which he never for got and showed him the futility of at- tempting to deceive the powers that be. This mans mother had died such number of times as to have cast a doubt as to whether he even had had mother at all, and to the certain knowledge of the officer to whom he again applied for leave he had gone off for three days at time on three different occasions to be present at her death and funeral. It began to grow mo- notonous, but the man had worked it so successfully thus far that 1t never seemed to occur to him that it might eventually fail, and with the faith of little child he went to the officer, and, saluting, said;

FIGHTING TRADING STAMPS.
Protective ats Favor Passage
of { P~rohibItOry Bill.

The meeting of the Merchants Protec-
tive Association, last night, was fairly
well attended The trading stamps mat
ter was again discussed and a communi-
cation from the Newark Retail GrocerS'
Association, requesting the Hudson coun-
ty merchants to use their influence with
their State Senator in favor of the bill
abolishing trading stamps and other gift
enterprises, was read.
Secretary James Newton was instruct
ed to write to Senator DAILY, in the name
of the association, and request him to do
all in his power to put the bill through.
A copy of the letter was also ordered to
be forwarded to the Retail Grocers' As
ISOLATION of Newark.
An invitation from the Hudson City
Business Mems Association, to visit the
exhibition at Pohlmann's Hall, was re-
ceived and accepted, with thanks
Mr.. S-chellenberger called attention to
the fact that several names sent in by
him for the delinquent list had been
omitted therefrom, and Secretary Newton
said he would find out who was respon-
sible for the omission and see to 1t
that a similar error does not occur again.
Mr.. Newton suggested that it might be
well for a committee to visit the newly
organized Hoboken Merchants Protec-
tive Association and induce it to am
m~algamate with the county organization.

Smashee Up by chin Chin Tlust.

There is a cut rate war in rogress be-
tween two Cinnamon on West Newark
avenue, near Summit avenue. Charles
Lee, an alleged tool of a great Chinese
corporation. is located at No. S19 Newark
avenue for the express purpose, it is said,
of doing out of business Sing Lee. who
has a store at No. S14 and who will not
have anything to do with the union.
Both Cinnamon ave cut their prices
until their customers are looking forward
to the time when they will be able to
have their laundry work done for nothing.
AT present Sing Lee is charging ~ cents
for laundrying collars, while Charles Lee,
in pursuance of his policy of underbid-
ding his rival, is charging but one cent.
The prices for other articles are pro-
portionately low. 1t is said that the cor
poration or trust which employs Charles
Lee is reimbursing him for what he lrses
on the reduction in prices and that as
soon as it has driven Sing Lee out of the
business and has a monopoly of the bust
ness in that section it will raise the prices
again. The fight is being watched with
interest by the customers of the two

JACKSON AVENUE OPENING.


The committee appointed by the proper-
ty owners interested in the proposed
opening of Jackson avenue to see what
the Consolidated Traction Company would
do to assist In securing the straight
route to Avenue E. Bayonne, met yester-
day in Surveyor W~ortendyke's Office. in
the City Hall. Manager Young was
present and told the committee that tho
company was willing TO do anything that
was right and fair. He asked the con
mittae to secure him an estimate of the
cost of the proposed straight route and
promised that he would lay it before the
directors Of the company, and promised
that the company would make known its
intentions a few days later.
J.. j. Detwiller. Andrew Miller and
Messrs. Mulcahy and Woeckner were
also present at the meeting. The prop
erty owners are almost unanimously In
favor of the straight route, claiming that
despite the amount of property to be
condemned for a right of way 1t will be
cheaper when it comes to paving and
sewering.
The committee, which is composed of
Louis H~ennemeier, ex-Alderman Gott-
hardt, William A~rmbruster, Edward Ho-
man and Joseph Abel, are very much en-
couraged by the attitude of Manager
David Young and entertain hopes that
the ompany will aid the city in purchas-
ing the condemned property.

Among the passengers who arrived at
noon today on the Kaiser Will

Maria Mainrad, nephew of the King Of
Belgium and heir to his throne. The
Prince is the son of the Count of Elan

and great-grandson of Louis PHILIPPE of
France.
He was met by the Belgian Minister,
Count de Lichternelde and several of the
Legation attaches, and taken off on the
revenue cutter, Wesley Merritt.
The Prince seemed to be an unassum-

On Friday he will be presented to the
President and on Saturday will dine with
Vice President Hebart. He will then re-
turn to New York and after a brief stay
there will tour the country.
A detail of eight policemen, under the
immediate command of Captain Hayes,
kept the curious throng in check on the
dock. AS the Prince walked down the
gang plank every one pushed forward to
catch a glimpse of the royal gentleman,
who quickly jumped into a coach and
was WhiSked away.
