Dewey's Washington Tailof
From N. Y. World.

From N. Y. World.
Many absurd stories about Dewey's extravaganza
in dress have been published 1t has been said he
had fifty suits of clothes on the Olympia when he
bombarded and destroyed the Spanish feet at Ma
Mia.
This is an absurd story. The only tailor he ever
had in Washington was Ghiselli No. 1875 Penn
sylvania avenue.
Dewey" said Ghiselli, never had more than
four five six suits of clothes made for him in
a year. Usually 1 made him only four suits year.
He was extremely particular about his fit, but he
was not tnicky, and never had much trouble with
him. He was simply well-dressed gentleman,
that is all. He preferred plain cloths Of the best
quality. He did not like fancy goods"
For the benefit of hero worshipers it may here
be said that Dewey's chest measure at Ghiselis
was 3s%.
He wore No. 6A boots. It,

The 2o% discount on the
dollar which we're allowing
on all our summer footgear
and the other lines of shoes
which we shall not handle
when we get in our new
home has had the effect-as
we fully expected-of dwin-
ding our stock considerably.
There are enough left, how
ever, of all sizes, but they're
going rapidly and will not last
long. If you desire to take
advantage of this remarkable
reduction come at once.
Words of praise are still
being showered upon rs for
the admirable showing we're
making of new fall footwear.
Our assortment-we know
cannot be equaled by any
house in town. You will find
here the new college shoes
the new school shoes for chill
dren-the neatest thing in
street shoes for ladies and
men-and the latest STYLES of
golfing, riding, evening and
wedding footgear.
We've just received a COM
plete line of new military
boots and riding leggins for
army officers and others who
will participate in the Dewey
celebrations. They're neat,
trim and nobby, and OF the
latest patterns.

Another great discovery has been

country. Disease fastened its clutch
es upon her, and for seven years she
withstood its severest tests, but her
vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For
three months she coughed inces-
sanity, and could not sleep. She
finally discovered way to recovery,

Kings New Discovery for consump-

taking first dose, that she slept all
night; and with two bottles, has been
absolutely cured. Her name

THEY RIDIcULE 1T.
Many People Ridicule the Idea of
an Absolute Cure for Dyspep-
STA and Stomach Troubles.
Ridicule, However. is Not Argument, and
Facts Are Stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common,
and in most cases so obstinate OF
cure that people are apt to look with
suspicion on any remedy claiming to
be radical, permanent cure for dys-
pepsia and indigestion. Many such
pride themselves on their acuteness in
never being humbugged, especially in
medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can
be carried too far, so far, in fact, that
many people suffer for years with
weak digestion rather than risk little
time and money in faithfully testing
the claims made of n preparation so
reliable and universally used as Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
sPect from ordinary proprietary medi-
cines for the reason that they are not
n secret patent medicine, no secret is
made of their ingredients. but analy-
sis shows them to contain the natural
digestive ferments, pure aseptic pep
sin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal,
bismuth, hydrastis and nux. They
are not cathartic. neither do they act
powerfully on any organ, but they
cure indigestion on the common sense
plan of digesting the food eaten
thoroughly before it has time to fer
ment, sour and cause the mischief.
This is the only secret of their sue
cess.
Cathartic pills never have and never
| can cure indigestion and stomach
| troubles because they act entirely on
| the bows Is, whereas the whole trouble
is really in the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken
after meals digest the food. That is
all there is to it. Food not digested
or half digested is poison, as it creates
gas, acidity, headaches, palpitation of
the heart, loss of flesh and appetite
and many other troubles which are
often called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists every
where at 80 cents per package. Adj
