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 habits but
they are unconsciously acquired and grow as 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 questionable habit of being always
well.
The best health habit to get into is to have and
keep vigorous stomach; If you have a healthy
digestion you can drink your beloved coffee smoke
your favorite brand Of tobacco, with little or no
harm; the mischief begins when these things are
forced upon the faithful stomach, without any as
sistance.
Form the habit of taking after meals some
harmless but efficient digestive which will relieve
the stomach of much extra work.
Nature furnishes with such digestives and
when they are combined in such a pleasant prepa-
ration Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets they give the
overworked stomach just the necessary assistance
to secure perfect digestion without any Of the
harmful effects of cathartics and similar drugs
The habit of taking Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
after meals is necessary to the weak stomach
food ITSELF and indeed to get the benefit from
food eaten, nothing better and certainly nothing
safer be used.
Many families consider Stuert's Tablets as es-
sential In the house as knives and forks.
They consist entirely of natural digestive prin-
ciples without the effect or characteristics Of
drugs; they have csthaItic action, but simply
go to work the food eaten and digest II.
Take into account your bad habits and the ex-
pense they entail and then invest fifty cents in a
box Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and see IL your
digestion for the next month is not vastly I'm
proved
Ask the clerk in any drug store the name Of the
most successful and popular stomach remedy and
he will say "stuarts." ds1l&l4

BIG BLAZE AT AUGUSTA, GA.
.oss Estimated at $1,000. .oOO-startei d
Ernu, an Electric Wire.

From an EIeCtFlc wire.
The most disastrous fire Augusta has ex-
perienced in years broke out yesterday
morning The damage will approximate
a million dollars.
The fire started in the heart of ]. B.
Whites big dry goods house.
Its origin is unknown, but it is surmised
that an imperfect,y insulated electric wire
may have come In contact with the wood
work, or that possibly spark from a sput-
tering arc light may have fallen into the
dry goods.
The Arlington Annex and the stores be-
meath it, all a part of the old Central Hotel
property, abutted upon the store Of ]. B.
White on the uptown side, and all were
involved in the first onslaught of the flames
after the blaze had broken through the
White store.
/. Next came the handsome Masonic build
ing. Into this the flames ate their way
from the rear. When this became thor
oughly ablaze there was no longer any
possibility that the Arlington Hotel could
escape. The hotel has always had the repu-
fire, but when the flames reached it from
the rear of the Masonic building 1t was
soon ablaze. The tremendous bonfire was
visible for many miles in all directions.
The fire ignited the roof and windows
of the Schneider building, across Sth street.
on the next block, but it was arrested here,
and, barring a few thousand dollars dam
age to stock, the main loss was confined
to the original block, bounded by Broad
and Ellis streets north and south, and 7th
and Sth streets east and west.

1RRIGATING ARID LANDS,
Data to Be Gathered by the Census
Bureau.

A special effort will be made by the d.
vision of agriculture of the twelfth census
OF the United States to collect and tabulate
important data relating to irrigation in the
arid and semi-humid regions of the United
States. A preliminary schedule has been
prepared and will soon be sent out to OBJ
tain the names of corporations and indi-
Viduals owning canals or bitches. A re-
quest Is made also for the names of the
principal canals or bitches in their order
down stream.
These various inquiries of the census Of
flee in no way conflict with or duplicate
the work with reference to irrigation which
Is being conducted by any other department
OF state. The most nearly related in
quiry is that of the geological survey
which, like that of the census, is under the
more immediate direction Of Mr.. F. H.
Newell, the special agent for irrigation in
the eleventh census and photographer Of
the geological survey.

movement of cotton from the plantation to
points of shipment or consumption, on re-
turns made by officials of cotton mills and
on reports of special agents. The total
value of the crop, estimated on the basis
of the average prices during the first six

DEATH OF GREGORY ENNIS
A HasEe-Born Washipgtonian Who Was
Highly Esteemed.
Possessed of a Disposition Which En-
deared Him to n Large Circle
Funeral Wednesday.

Gregory Ennis, one of the oldest and
most highly esteemed citizens of the Dis
trict, died yesterday at his residence, No.
1136 Sth street northwest, after a brief
illness. Mr. Ennis, who was nearly seven
ty years old, but remarkably well pre-
served and active for one of his age, was
seized with a chill last Monday morning
while at the breakfast table, and went TO
bed, from which he never arose.
He was born in Washington and was
prominent in its business affairs until he
retired something thirty years ago.
His last active participation in business
was as a member of the grocery firm of
Sioussa & Ennis, which fiourished for quite
a period on the south side of Pennsylvania
avenue between 9Th and 7th streets. He
was a man of most lovable disposition and
his amiable qualities endeared him to a
large number. He was retiring in his na-
ture, but In his immediate circle he was
extremely popular, and his charity was
unbounded. His brother, the late John f.
Ennis, who occupied leading place in the
ranks of lawyers for many years, was
more active in local affairs than himself,
but he kept very warm interest in every
thing that promised to be of advantage to
the progress and welfare of his native city
and helped it both by influence and sub
stance.
For over forty years Mr.. Ennis occupied
large brick residence on the north side
of F street between 18th and 13th streets,
and was the last of the residents on that
portion of the now busy thoroughfare to
give up home there on account of the
increasing hustle of the passing life. Mr..
Ennis was one -of the most Jealous promo
ters of the Carroll Institute and from its
foundation was ever earnest in behalf OF
its advancement.
Funeral Wednesday Morning.
The funeral will take place Wednesday
morning and solemn requiem mass will be
celebrated at St. Patrcks Church at 10
o'clock.
The pallbearers will be Messrs. Frank D.
Orme, Dominick l. Murphy, Edward j.
Hannah, Stephen B. Ellery, Charles Wer-
ner and Charles B. Bayly.
Mr.. Ennis is survived by a widow. a
daughter, formerly Miss Susie Ennis, who
is now the wife of Mr.. William NJ. Hedian
of Baltimore, and a sister. Mrs. John F. Ell
lis. The Ellis music store will remain
closed until after the funeral.
In speaking of Mr.. Ennis today, an old
friend, who had known him Intimately for
over a third OF a century, gave a striking
Illustration of his character.
He was the only man I ever knew he
remarked, who seemed to regard every one
of his fe.low-men as being incapable of
wrong. When he would hear that some one
he knew or knew of had lapsed from the
proper path he would remark, Well | de-
clare, as if it was the most rema rka BILE
thing he had ever heard of. He was a
good man, good citizen, splendid gen.
tleman, and the poor will miss him might
