THE HEALTH HABIT.
Just as Easy to Form as Any Other.

Just as Easy to Form as Any Other.
We do not deliberately form our pet
RABBITS, but they are unconsciously ac-
qudred and grow We grow, and by the
time we learn they are hurting us, We find
them too strong to be easily broken.
Then, why not form a good habit,
habit which will counteract the many bad
ones; In other words, contract the unfash-
io-nabe habit of always being we'll?
The best health habit to get into is to
have and keep vigorous stomach; II you
have healthy digestion you can drink your
beloved coffee, smoke your favorite brand
of tobacco, with little or no harm; the mis-
chief begins when these things are forced
upon the faithful stomach, without any
assistance.
Form the habit of taking after meals
some harmless but efficient digestive which
will relieve the stomach of SO much extra
work.
Nature furnishes us with such digestives
and when they are combined in such "a
pleasant preparation as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, they give the overworked stom-
ach just the necessary assistance to Sc
cure perfect digestion without amy of the
harmful effects of cathartics and similar
drugs.
The habit of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after meals is as necessary to the
weak stomach as food itself, and indeed to
get the benefit from food eaten, nothing
better and certainly nothing safer can be
used.
Many families consider Stuart's Tablets
as essential in the house as knives and
forks.
They consist entirely of natural digestive
principles without the effect or Characters
tics of drugs; they have no cathartic ac-
ton, but simply go to work on the food
eaten and digest it.
Take into account your bad habits and
the expense they entail and then invest
fifty cents in box of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and see if your digestion for the
next month is not vastly improved
Ask the clerk in any drug store the name
OF the most successful and popular stom-
ach remedy and he will say "Stuart's."

WHEEL ROUTES TO WOODMONT
George c. AIlis Gives Seven and the
 DjctapnaS

George c. Allie Gives Seven and the Distances. 1 Since George c. Allis has been riding
 back and forth between Woodmont and Derby he has been carefully meas uring the distance by the different routes, and the results are of consid- erable interest to wheelmen. Six diff ferent routes have been measured and none of them has been found to be less than ten miles long, the shortest being 10 3-10 miles.
 The longest is through Milford and is il 7-10 miles, but the riding is the best and, notwithstanding the differ ence in length, the ground can be cov- cred in about as quick time as the other routes The hills all come to- gether as this end of the route, so that less time is lost in walking up them. A comfortable ride from Woodmont to Derby by way of Milford can be made in an hour and twenty minutes, all though much better time is frequently made.
 Tn taking the distances MT. Allis has measured from his store in this city to his place, Star cottage, in Woodmont. IIIS llIG always ItS DCtH WCll llllldtcA so that the error on account of soft tires has been removed and the records are all by cyclometer, carefully read. The routes measured and the distances are as follows:
 Via New Haven road and Tyler City, 10 5-10 miles.
 Via Milford and Derby road, Turkey and Bradley hill, turning in Milford at the Catholic church, il 6-10 miles
 Via New Haven road, turning at AL ling's Mills, through Orange to Mill ford turnpike, thence road through the woods 10 S-10 miles.
 Via New Haven road, turning at AL lings Mills, through Orange, thence by Rag Picker's hill, 10 9-10 miles.
 Via New Haven road, Turkey hill and Milford road, turning up hill at Clark's bridge right and left turns via the saw mill and through the woods, 10 3-10 nies.-Ansonia Sentinel

E1.FRTDA BACK. AGAIN.

An addition to the fleet of boats in The Cove last evening was the steam yacht of the Naval Reserves, the Elfri- da which arrived in the harbor about o'clock in charge of the Hartford sail ors-Lieutenant Cuntz commanding all ablaze with red fire and decorated with Chinese lanterns. To say that the Hartford battalion has enjoyed itself since the boat has been in it's possess sion would be putting it mildly, The days have been spent in training and sailing and the evenings in receiving their guests and celebrating.
 All regretted having to give up the little yacht. as they will not have an- other opportunity for deep-water cruls- ing until they go off on the United States steamship Prairie August 17. They will return to Hartford by train this afternoon.

WILL START THIS MORNING
ANNUAL CRUISE TO EASTWARD OF
 NEW HAVEN YACHT CLUE.
Yachts Anchored in Morris Coye- Day Spent tn Pleasant Manner by Those on Board-AbOut Twenty to Start This Morning-GeneraI Orders of the Commodore.

The annual cruise of the New Haven Yacht club starts this morning at o'clock from the rendezvous of the fleet at Morris Cove. The course will, as has been stated, be to the eastward possibly as far as Martha's Vineyard, stops be- ing made at New London, Greenport, Stonington, Newport, New Bedford and other places on the way down. It is thought that at least twenty of the large boats will make the run.
 Most of these were assembled at Mor- ris Cove yesterday afternoon with their owners and parties of invited guests on board. The day was unfortunately a poor one for sailing, the heavy rain- storm of the morning being succeeded by flat calm, but the afternoon was passed by the paying of calls between shpboard and club house. Quite number went in bathing, too, and these, the gigs passing to and fro and the groups upon the lawn made the scene an animated one.
 The main topic of conversation among the yachtsmen was, of course, the cruise. This will, in many respects, be more of a series of races than anything else, as prizes will be awarded in each class for the largest number ot best runs. The general orders of the cruise are as follows;
 For the purpose of adding to the pleasure of each days runs of the fleet suitable prizes will be awarded to yachts making the largest number or best runs during the cruise. The fleet will be divided into four classes: First, schooners; second, sloops of a racing length thirty feet and upwards; third, sloops and knockabouts of a racing length less than thirty feet; fourth, cat beats.
 Two prizes will be awarded in each class comprising four or more yachts, and one prize in any class having less than four yatchts.
 The starting time of each yacht will be taken by the flagship, and the time of finish will be taken by the yatcht first to arrive in port Before coming to anchor each succeeding yacht will sail in front of and past the yacht to arrive.
 Prizes Will De dWdIucu III eieeOA eNNS with the rules and time allowance or +he yacht racing union of Long Island sound.
 No restrictions will be placed on the course that each yacht shall take Tn US run from port to port in the absence or n special order and notice to the con- trary.
