1t is usual with the women employed in
this work to keep pins in their mouths in
order that time may not be lost in reach

pins were kept in trays. Those engaged in
this work say that it is no uncommon
thing for them to swallow the smaller
pins Mrs. Smith was married ten months
ago Since then she has not worked in
the silk mill. Frequent pains in the chest
attracted her attention about two months
after her marriage. 1t alarmed her and she
consulted Dr. White. He believed that the
symptoms were those Of consumption. Act
ing upon that conviction he treated her for
that disease for several months.
No improvement in her condition became
apparent, and at times she showed symp
toms foreign to consumption. This puzzled
the physician, and he did not know how to
treat the case. Toward the end Of her ILL

and brought out by Mr.. Edwin W. Shriver,
of this city, who had the endorsement Of
A W. Machen, of Washington, D. c.. Su-
perintendent of the Free Postal Delivery
System. The plan at first was to begin
with one wagon, thoroughly equipped with

a certain portion of the county, with West

THE HEALTH HABIT.
Just as Easy to Form q. Any 9th.

just ~ Easy TO Form n Any other.
We do not deliberately form our pet
habits. but they are unconsciousiy ac-
Quired and grow as we grow, and by the
time we learn they are hurting us. We find
them too strong to be easily broken.
Then, why not form q good habit, q
habit which will counteract the many bad
ones. in other words contract the un-
fashionable habit of being always we'll.
The best health habit to get into is to
have and keep a vigorous stomach; II you
have a healthy digestion you can drink
your beloved coffee, smoke your favorite
brand Of tobacco. with little or no harm:
the mischief begins when these things are
forced upon the faithful stomach, without
any assistance.
Form the habit of taking after meals
some harmless but efficient digestive which
will relieve the stomach Of so much extra
work.
Nature furnishes us with such digestives
and when they are combined in such a
pleasant preparation as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, they give the overworked stomach
just the necessary assistance to secure per-
feet digestion without any Of the harmful
effects Of cathartics and similar drugs.
The habit of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after meals Is as necessary to the
weak stomach as foor itself, and indeed to
get tne Denent from 1000 eaten, nothihs
better and certainly nothing safer can be
used.
Many families consider Stuart's Tablets
as essential In the house as knives and
forks
They consist entirely Of natural digestive
principles without the effect or character
istics of drugs: they have no cathartic
action, but simply go to work on the food
eaten and digest it.
Take into account your bad habits and
the expense they entail and then invest
fifty cents in box of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and see II your digestion for the
next month is not vastly improved.
Ask the clerk in any drug store the
name of the most successful and popular
stomach remedy and he will say "Stuart's."
