AT MCCABE'S.'

About fifteen years ago. English
potters discovered that women who
like plants and flowers. wanted some
thing more ornamental than an old
earth-stained flower pot, perhaps COW
cred with tissue paper in which to
house their foliage and flower plants.
Then came the jardinier-very plain
at first, simply glazed holder for the
flower pot.
OF course ornamenting the jardin-
iers came next, until today there is
probably nc one thing that helps more
in home decoration than jardiniers.
Forester & Sons have always led
the English potteries in shapes and
decorations, making a speciality of
jardiniers. They have succeeded in
producing a greater variety of shapes.

The Trading Rat.

OF all curious animals which man
has come across and studied probably
none can compare with a kind of rat
found in the Rocky mountains Though
for long time well known to trappers
and lumbermen, it is only lately that
any naturalist has studied these peculiar
little beasts.
Although called rat this little ami
NAL is larger than an ordinary rat, with
body eight inches long. 1t is very
pretty creature, with soft gruy fur and
squirrellike tail, easily tanned and a
delightful pet. The trappers long ago
gave it the name of the Grading rat, "
from its curious habit of never stealing
anything without putting something in
its place.
Two young women camping in the
highlands of Wyoming left the lid of
their cracker box off one night. In the
morning all the biscuits were gone and
the box was filled with an Undesirable
mixture of chips, scraps of leather,
sticks, bones, dried beans-in fact, ev-
erything movable near at hand.
The trading rat builds a very beauti-
full nest, sometimes two feet in height,
and is very clever at storing food. 1t
has a violent fancy fer anything of a
bright red ue.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

1T CAN'T BE DONE.
No One Can Remain Well, No Chronic Dis
ease Can be Cured Unless the Stom-
ach is First Made Strong and
Vigorous.

This is plain because every organ in
the body depends on the stomach for
its nourishment. Nerve, bone, sinew,
blood are made from the food which
the stomach converts to our use.
How useless to treat disease with
this. that and the other remedy and
neglect the most important of all, the
stomach.
The earliest symptoms of lndigeS-
ton are sour risings, bad taste in the
mouth, gas in stomach and bowels,
palpitation, all-gone feeling, faintness,
headaches, constipation; later comes
loss of flesh, consumption, liver and
heart troubles, kidney diseases, ner-
vous prostration. all of which are the
indirect result of poor nutrition.
Any person suffering from indiges-
ton should make it a practice TO take
after each meal one of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, allowing it to dissolve
in the mouth and thus mingle with
the saliva and enter the stomach in
the most natural way. These tablets
are highly recommended by DR.. Jen-
nison because they are composed of
the natural digestive acids and fruit
essences which assist the stomach in
digesting all wholesome food before it
has time to ferment and sour.
Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by druggists, full sized packages at
30 cents. They are also excellent for
invalids and children. A book on

FEEDING BABIES
Always a Source OF Some Anxiety.

When an infant is deprived of the
mothers milk great care and intelli-
gence is required to select the proper
food to fit the case. No one food will
agree with all babies. There are a
number of good foods on the market.
One of the latest and best is known as
"MarJorie's Baby Food, made by the
Postum Cereal company ut Battle
Greek, Mich
1t was originated by food expert
and is the result of experience and
knowledge of how food acts upon the
human system.
BY using 'Marjorie's Baby Food, -
use can also he made of cows milk in
cases where heretofore cows milk did
not agree. The new Baby Food is
ready cooked and can be served in
stantly.
1t is sold at 10 and 80 cents per
package at druggists and grocers.

By winning the second game in the
Cedar Rapids series Saturday Rock
Island moved to the head of the per-
centage column in the race for the
Western association pcnnant. The
rabbits were pounded all over the
diamond, receiving probably the most
overwhelming defeat that has been
their lot since pulling away from their
home out on the green fields of
Hawkeyedom.
The Rock Island team played mag
niiicently, the individual work being
as clever and noteworthy as the team
work. Itwas not due to any lack of eff
fort or because of going to pieces that
Belden Hills men lost SO heavily.
They put up nice, clean, snappy arti-
Gle, but no matter how often or hard
they slammed the sphere, it was invar-
iably scooped in, for the fielding of
the home aggregation was perfection
itself.
Two of the visiting pitchers, Ma
haffy and Donnelly, faced the foe.
The former lasted two rounds. after
which he was invited to exchange
places with Donnelly in the right
garden.
Callahan twirled prettily for the
locals, holding Hills hard batters
down to nine hits. Features of the
game were the terrific hitting of Bo-
tenus, Rothermel, Bay and Doom, and
the five beautiful double plays in
which Ball, Rothermel, O'Rourke and
Botenus participated. The score:

Quincy will be here tomorrow,
Wednesday and Thursday. Then we
are to have n visit from Bloomington.
1t was planned, in case the weather
permitted, to play the Cedar Rapids
Rock Island game prevented by rain
Sunday today.
Billy Baker, who has been here for
a visit, has returned to Springfield,
where he will see what he can do to-
ward working up enthusiasm and
money enough to bid for the franchise
held by Quincy, who has begun to
show her customary signs of disinte-
grafton.
As usual, the weather was unkind
again yesterday to baseball and the
lovers of the sport. 1t seems to be
the fate of the local management TO
contend with another rainy season
such as we had year ago, and which
had the effect of almost draining the
treasury. If the week dav attendance
continues to increase, however, the
association mas no fears of running
shy.
a meeting of the association direc-
tors, called by President Browne. is in
progress today at Dubuque to deter
mine as to the future of the franchise
now held by Quincy. The Gem City
has been weak financially from the
beginning of the season. President
Browne visited the town and endeav-
ored to enlist the cooperation of the
business people that the club might
be kept on its feet to the end of the
baseball wear, and while they agreed
to lend their good will and assistance,
there has not been sufficient evidence
of support to satisfy Mr. Browne that
the team will last beyond Decoration
day. So he has notified the Quincy
management that a definite answer
must be forthcoming today as to
whether it proposes to retain the
franchise and play the season through.
If satisfactory reply is not received
the franchise will be placed elsewhere,
possibly in Dubuque.

Hotel Topsy Turvy.

Great New York successes, minus
great New York casts, are not soul
stirring successes in Scranton. This
truism had added dignity lent to 1t by
the reception accorded Hotel Topsy
Turvy" at the Lyceum last night. It
may be that Scranton is too provincial
to enjoy the humor hurled at you in
Hotel Topsy Turvy," but whatever the
reason, the audience didn't enjoy it,.
To their credit let this be said.
If one could get fair idea Of what
all the action and action on top of
action was about it wouldn't be so bad.
but without a diagram or a sign board
of any kind to guide you Hotel Topsy
Turvy" was not exactly 10y forever.
And then the company! 1t must have
been the weather At any rate let's
be as charitable as we can, and ear
nestly hope they will not lose Eddie
Foy.
There is some pretty music which
was acceptably rendered last night and
the farce was staged admirably.
