IT makes no difference what the
finding of the court of inquiry may
be, the people now know that Gen.
Miles has been vindicated. Butt how
about the commissary general, Charles
=. Eagan, the man who is response
BILE for the suffering of the soldiers?
He is still an officer of the army
enjoying a prolonged holiday at the
expense of the people-amenable to n
court martial for the ofrenses he has
committed against the public. His
guilt has been established by the very
committee that was appointed to hu-
initiate his accuser. Why the presi-
dent gave him a furlough of six years
at total salary of $3S, 900 the people
are at n loss to know. The fact is
the tone of the American sentiment is

ADVERTISING may properly he con-
sidered by the merchant as an invest
ment from which he has a right to
expect quick and large returns, but
in making this investment the mer-
chant must be as prudent in placing
his announcements as is the careful
investor of cash in selecting the bonds
or property from which his interest is
to be derived. The great difference.
however. is that while the latter may
expect only limited though regular
profit, the returns from the trades
mans expenditures for advertising. if
a iudicious selection of methods and
mediums be made, constantly in
crease. Another needful thing to
bring paying returns from the mer-
chants investment is the continuous
use of the advertising columns of a
daily newspaper.

VascIine Pancakes.

Caesars creek, on the Florida coast,
was named after famous old pirate
called Black Caesar, whose profession
added to the risks of marine insurance.
After the pirates the Florida wreckers
came, of whom II. A. Willoughby, in
his ACROSS the Everglades, tells this
story:
A large steamer was stranded on the
reef not far from Cape Florida. No soon
er had she struck than the news spread
rapidly along the shore. The people for
20 miles around gathered on the beach
opposite the stranded steamer. Among
them were a number of Indians from
the Everglades, who CHANGED to be down
there and knew what u wreck" meant
to the wreckers.
The steamer, loaded with an assorted
cargo, began TO break up. and barrels,
cases and boxes drifted gradually ashore.
There were casks of wine, boxes of soap,
cases of bottles of wine and iron and n
hundred other articles. The Indians
seized upon the wine and soon We're in
n condition that allowed the white men
to secure the more valuable prizes.
Tho squaws struck bonanza in a
case of vaseline. They thought it a new
variety of the white mans frying fat
and, starting fire, fried pancakes in it.

THEY RIDICULE 1T.
Many People RidicuIe 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 Eases so obstinate OF
cure that people are apt to look with
suspicion on am remedy claiming to
be radical, permanent cure for dys-
pepsia and Indigestion. Many such
pride themselves on their acuteness in
never being hunbugged, especially in
medicines.
This fear of lning humbugged can
be carried too far. so far, in fact, that
many people s1fTer for years with
weak digestion rather than risk little
time and moneyin faithfully testing
the claims made of 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
a 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 bowels, 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
tue 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
