cArARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple But Safe and EffectuaI
Cure for It,

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
with sour or watery risings, formation
of gases causing a pressure on the heart
and lungs, and difficult breathing; head
aches, tickle appetite, nervousness and a
general played-out languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the interior
of the stomach could be seen it would
show a Shiny, inhamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before it has time to ferment
and irritate the delicate mucous surface
of the stomach. TO secure prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do, and when normal digestion
is secured the catarrhal condition will
have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson, the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet, composed of diastase,
aseptic, pepsn, a little nuX, golden seal
and fruit acids. These tablets can now
be found at all drug stores under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and
not being patent medicine, can be used
with. perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite will follow their regular
use after meals.
Mr.. n. j. Booher, of 271O Dearborn
street, Chicago, ILL.,. says; "Catarrh Is
local condition resulting from a ne
elected cold in the head, whereby the
lining membrane of the nose becomes in
famed and the poisonous discharge there
from passing backward into the throat
reaches the stomach, thus producing
caarrh of the stomach Medical authori-
ties prescribed for me for three years for
catarrh of the stomach without cure, but
today l am the happiest of men after
using only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. | cannot find appropriate words
to express my good feeling. | have flesh,
appetite and sound rest from their use
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
as well as the simplest and most con-
venient remedy for any form of indiges-
ton, catarrh of the stomach, biliousness,
sour stomach heartburn and boating
after meals.

COMBINATION LICENSES.
Commissioners Allowed 10 Grant Them If
They So Desire.

A fact not generally known by citi-
zens of Worcester is that it is within
the province of the license commission
ers to issue more than 9S liquor Ii
censes; that is, the commissioners may
if they deem expedient, grant a dealer
two licenses, a common victualer's and
grocer's license or other combination,
as the case may be.
The law states that one place may
be licensed for each thousand inhabit-
ants. but whether more than one IL
cense may be granted in a place or not,
is left to the discretion of the commits
sioners. For instance, in many cities
a dealer is granted a common victual-
ers license, permitting liquors to be
drunk on the premises, and a retailer
license as well. which allows him to
sell alcoholic liquors not to be drunk
on the premises.
In years gone by, certain dealers have
applied for such a combination, but the
commissioners have considered such a
course ineXpedient. People of Worces-
ter are none too well satisfied with the
present system of bar rooms without
having a pail business connected with
each saloon in the city.

Arthur w. Shattuck of Gardner died
this afternoon at 100, in a private hos
pital in Boston. He went to Boston
about week ago to have an liberated
tooth removed The doctors were unable
to stop the bleeding, and Sunday it was
thought that he could not live, but he
rallied during the evening and there was
thought to be some chance for his re-
cOvery The young man was born in
Gardner and after his school life he
entered the grocery store of his father
F. A. Shattuck. He was married about
four months ago, to Miss Edna Holman,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George F.
Holman of Gardner.

THE WOOL LIMA "SOUP."
It Involves klssihE Bee and a Spread. and Originated Dur
 Ing the War.

A novel custom, started in the days of the civil war, prevails in the eastern West Virginia. At Shepher,stawn they haVHa picnic called "soup:.' Each person invited brings dressed thicEen, the hest providing the vegetables. Poultry and vegetables are placed in large kettles holding from ten 10 i've ty gallons, and the combination l. cooked over open fires for several hours, or until it is reduced almost to a jelly. Pepper and other seasonngs are introduced.
 The girls and young fellows stir the soup with lcng-handled srooEs, keep ing up q naarch or walk around tie ket- 1Its as they do so. When d girl'a roc T clicks against the spoon cf c yeurr man he is at liberty to catch and l'.., her. Of course, there are manN liN. ' sl.irtaishrs, and a great deal of fun in iho zane.

nothing IS gwen. But tnlS last provl- sion is limited by the law, which gives discretion to the treasury department to give full value for q note if the own CT can prove to the satisfaction of the authorities that the note, or the miss ing part of it was destroyed. This last provision opens the door to possible fraud, and many are the efforts made by dishonest persons to take advantage of it.
 The fragments of money which come to the treasury are turned over to one of the experts and sorted out under the microscope for identification They are picked apart and each tiny piece is assigned to it's place like part of puzzle. This is usually done on glass, and the fragments are eventual ly put between pieces of glass to hold them together while they are measured to see whether there are two-fifthS or three fifths of the note identifabe. or whether it is so little that the owner can recover nothing. Sometimes it is a the poor are not the only applicants for assistance to recover damaged ploney. At the time W. K. Nanderbilt's beauti. full home at Newport was burned Mrs. Nanderblt--nowM Mrs. Belmont-sent in about $1 ,oOO in mutilated currency. out of which it was able to identify for redemption all but fraction of the sum.
 Some of the experiences of the re-  demption division with would-be thieves are interesting. One man in Kansas sent to the treasury the halves of some small bills with the edges nice ly charred. accompanied by an affidavit from the sender that he had put the money in his pocket, hung his coat on q fence and that the coat had been burned to the destruction of part of the notes. H. happened that the treas ury had redeemed the other halves of these notes just 2Hs years before for d money broker in New York. and. think ing the case suspicious. had kept an eye out for the possibility of attempted fraud.
