Berlin. December THE desirability of the
United States having suitable permanent en-
basses abroad is again unpleasantly Illus
trated by the humiliatng experience OF Am
bassador White. as cabled to the Associated
Press Wednesday, and by the fact. just re-
vealed. that Minister Harris at Vienna lis
undergoing worse experience. Mr.. Whites
trouble Is likely to be t.ded over as it is un-
derstood that the little government OF Baden
has offered TO allow the American ambassa-
dor TO continue to occupy the top Nat of the
building just purchased until the end of
President McKinley's term.
Since Mr.. Harris arrived in Vienna he has
been vainly searching for a suitable house.
The difficulty is the unwilingness OF Aus
trian landlords TO rent to Americans. MIR.
Harris predecessor. Bartlett Trip, had a
dispute with his landlord and the latter sued
Mr.. Trip successfully. He pleaded extra
terriorlality but without effect. Evon the
Vienna tradesmen are disinclned TO supply
any one connected with tho legation unless
pad in advance. Both these incidents arc
causing much establishment in diplomatic
circles at Vienna and Berlin, and many dis
paraging remarks have been made against
the United States policy in this respect

TWO FINE SPECIMENS
OF Physical Manhood.

No form OF athletic exercise demands
such perfect physical condition as prize
lighting. Every muscle in the body must
be fully developed and supple, and the
heart, lungs and stomach must act to
perfection.
Whether we indorse prize fighting or not
1t is nevertheless interesting 10 know the
manner by which men arrive at sucn ply
steal perfection.
James Jeffries, the present champion
heavyweight OF the world, and his gal
liant opponent. Tom Sharkey, in the great
est pugilistic encounter that has ever
taken place. both pursued much the same
course OF training and the fIst and most
important part OF this training was to get
the stomach in condition, and TO keep the
digestion absolutely perfect. SO that every
muscle and nerve would be at it's highest
capabilities.
This wss not done by a secret patent
medicine. but both OF these great pugi-
lists used we'll known natural digestive

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and composed
of the digestive fernents which every
stomach reqlres for healthy digestion.

"Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets remove all
discomfort after eating They rest the
stomach and restore II to healthful con-
dition. ] heartily recommend them"
Signed. Thos. J. Sharkey.
The advantage OF the daily use of
Stuari's Dyspepsia Tablets Is that they
keep people we'll and ward off sickness
and are equally valuable to we'll persons
as to the dyspeptics. Another advantage Is
that these tablets contain no cathartIcs or
poisons OF amy character. but simply d.
gestive ferlnents which are found in every
healthy stomach, and when digestion Is
imperfect II Is because the stomach lacks
some Of these elements and Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets supply It.
They are no cheap cathartic. but per-
fectly safe and efficient digestive and the
demand for them Is greater than the sale
OF all other so-calied dyspepsia cures COM

such place In public esteem except as the
result OF positive merit.
