THE OLD WAY
Of Treating Dyspepsia and Indigestion by Dieting a Dangerous and Useless One

We say the old way, but really 1t Is a very common one at the present time, and many dyspeptics, and physicians as well, consider the first step to take in attempt ing to cure indigestion is to diet, either by selecting certain foods and rejecting oth- CTS, or to greatly diminish the quantity usually taken-in other words, the starva- ton plan is by many supposed to be the first essential.
 The almost certain failure of the starva- tion cure for dyspepsia has been proven time and again, but still the moment dys- pepsia makes its appearance a course of dieting is at once advised.
 All this Is radically wrong. It Is foolish and unscientific to recommend dieting CT starvation to a man suffering from dyspep- sia because indigestion itself starves every organ and every nerve and every fibre in the body.
 What the dyspeptlc wants is abundant nutrition. which means plenty of good, wholesome, wel-cooked food, and some- thing, to assist the weak stomach to digest 1t. This is exactly the purpose for which Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted, and this is the method by which they cure the worst cases of dyspepsia; in other words, the patient eats plenty of whole some food, and Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets digest it for him. In this way the system is nourished and the overworked stomach rested, because the tablets will digest the food whether the stomach works or not One of these tablets will digest 5000 grains of meat or eggs.
 Your druggist will tell you that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the purest and safest remedy for stomach troubles, and every tri- al makes one more friend for this excel lent preparation. Sold at 50c. for full-sized package at all drug stores.

Philosophy
From Life.

From Life.
 A woman asks a woman questions to dis cover something. She asks a man questions to discover the man.
 True love makes all things lovable, ex- cept, perhaps, the chaperone.
 What second lover chiefly deplores is that it was not he who first taught his loved one to love.
 It is noble to go to the succor of the weak and the oppressed, to say nothing of the presidential patronage it sometimes cre- ateS.
 Man calls woman capricious simply be- cause he is too stupid to comprehend the laws by which she is swayed. Woman does not call man capricious. The inference is obvious.

Rome, March 16.-Professor Mazzoni and Dr. Lapponi, the popes physicians, deny all the alarming rumors that have been in cir culation regarding the condition of his holl- ness. They declare that the wound made by tho recent operation is about healed; that the popes lungs and heart are abso- lutely healthy and that his weakness is not moro than what is natural in a nona- genarian.
 On the other hand the newspapers print a variety of reports. While the Tribuna states that his holiness has resumed his usual avocations, giving audiences, etc., the Opinione declares that he had several fainting fits during the day, and the Fan fulla ayers that weakness and other signs of breaking up are increasing

The Lyceum course has had long skip recently, on account of two lecturers who were engaged failing to keep their appoint ments. These were Edwin L. Barker, mon ologue dramatist, and Prof. Louis Favaur, scientific lecturer with apparatus.
 H. K. White, secretary of the Lyceum, does not attribute any fault to these gen. tlemen, however, but to the bureau through which they were engaged, which attempted to furnish dates which were already taken.
 Through the influence of Post B, of the T. P. A, Mir. White has succeeded in get ting Rev. Homer T. Wilson for lecture Thursday, April 6. Rev. Wilson is the na- tional chaplain of the T. P. A, and is con- sidered by the drummers, who have heard nearly all the orators, as the greatest plat form orator in America
 Booker T. Washington te,ephoned from Tuskeegee to Mir. White few days since that he would deliver the address which the directors of the Lyceum invited him to make on Thursday night, March 30. The address is, of course, on the subject of in- dustrial education for the negros in the south as explained in the marveious school at Tuskeegee, to which Washington has de- voted his life.
