THEY RIDICULE TT.
Many People RidicuIe the Idea of an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia
and Stomach Troubles.

Ridicule. However, Is Not Argument,
and Facts Are stubborn Things.
Stomach troubles are so common and in
most cases so obstinate to cure that people
are apt to look with suspicion on any rem
edy claiming to be a radical, permanent
cure for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many
such pride themselves on their acuteness
in never being humbugged, especially in
medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
, carried too far, SO far in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak diges-
tion rather than risk a little time and
| money in faithfully testing the claims
made of a preparation so reliable and uni
versally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's
Now, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different In one important respect
| from ordinary proprietary medicines, for
| the reason that they are not secret pat
ent medicine, no secret is made of their
| ingredients. but analysis shows them to
contain the natural digestive ferments,
pure aseptic pepsin, 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 ferment sour, and cause the
mischief. This is the only secret of their
| success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles be-
cause 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 1t creates gas, acidity, head
aches, palpitation of the heart, loss of
| flesh and appetite and many other troubles
which are often called by some other
name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
at so cents per package. Address F. A.

CANNIBAL IN THE INK.
He Was from the South Sea Islands
and There Was Character

Rather an amusing incident was con.
nected with the return to San Francisco, en-
route to Washington, of Justice W. L.
Chambers. who has been for number of
years chief justice of Samoa. The judge is
,well-educated and highly cultivated Ala
baman,- with that polish of that rara avis,
the Southern gentleman of the best type.
In an interview, published at Honolulu on
his way up, the chief. justice was so serious
ly misrepresented in his alleged statements
regarding Samoan matters that he took the
wise precaution in San Francisco Of writ
ing out his views on the more ticklish mat
ters concerning which he was interviewed.
Like most gentlemen, Judge Chambers pen
manship would never be taken as model in
a district school. A printer on morning
paper to whom it was given to set up was in
despair;
"Look here" he said, "this is positively
the worst writing ever was up aganst!"
!, but that was written by the chief jus:
tice Of Samoa, man. Look how much char

compositor. "That accounts for it. There is

THE UNLUCKY TURTLE.
III 1t Succeeds in EvndinR Human
Hunters 1t Is Run Down by
Dogs or Tigers.

"While preparing our evening NEAL"
says Prince Maximilian, of Neuwied, in
his ''Tour in BRAZIL" 'and collecting
dry wood on the beach, we found CO.
lossal turtle on the point of laying it's
eggs. Nothing could have been more
grateful to the hungry company.
"Our presence did not disturb the
turtle. Four men lifted it up from the
ground, but it evinced no other sign of
restlessness than putting and blowing;
and the moment it was put down again
it began throwing up earth with its
Unlike hind feet. One of our soldiers
laid himself on the ground beside the
turtle, put his hand in theEhole which
1t had excavated, and threw out the
eggs as fast as the animal laid them.
About hundred were collected in this
way in ten minutes. This turtle usual
ly lays from ten to twelve dozen eggs.
"Turtles often crawl up from the sea
and travel a distance of from 500 to
1000 feet on the shore to deposit their
eggs. Junghuhu found hundreds of
turtle skeletons on the coast of Java,
many of them five feet long and three
feet broad. Some of them were
bleached, but others were still fresh
and bleeding. In the air multitudes of
birds of prey were circling.
'"This is the spot where the poor tur-
ties are attacked by the wild dogs.
These savage animals, in packs of 20
or more, attack every available spot of
their luckless victim; they bite it's head,
paws and tail, and manage to turn it
over. They then tear up the stomach
she'll and feast on the flesh and eggs.
"Sometimes the turtle escapes and
reaches the sea, dragging the tugging
dogs after it. Sometimes, too, the tiger
regales himself on the turtle. Jung
huhu's Javanese drove off tiger which
was worrying turtle, and seized the
still living prey, which six men could
scarcely carry"

Cleanliness goes hand in hand with
beauty, not mere cleanliness of face and
hands, but that which promotes the
health be- OF the whole body, keeping the
circulation active and the complexion
clear. The hot bath twice weekly, with
the use Of flesh brushes and such toilet
aids as tend ,jto improve and restore
the nervous system and give vigor to all
functions, will be found necessary
groundwork y for beauty building.
Cleanliness Of the skin has great ef-
feet on the proper assimilation of food
by the body, for the tonic of good
bath reaches much farther than the
skin. and the flesh is purified by the
process and becomes smooth and firm
as wax. Aromatic baths, which are
begun with hot water and graduated
to tepid and cold, are very invigorating.
Per1umed tablets are sold by the drug
gists, one of which dissolved in the
water of the bath gives it a delicious
and refreshing odor. Sometimes an
ounce of ammonia added to gallon of
water will be found helpful. When the
sponge bath or immersion does not
agree with the system the sponge bath,
with friction, is good substitute. The
hair mitten, loofah and flesh brush an
swer the purpose of the modern method
of massage, especially where there is
lack OF strength on the part of the
| subject or an objection to manipulation
of strange hands. The sponge bath
should never be hot, but should be be-
gun with tepid water, ending with a
cool tone, not cold. If there is danger
of taking cold the brisk rub with di-
luted alcohol will prevent it. The dry
bath, where there are serious objections
to water, consists of dry rubbing, after
which the flesh is rubbed with flannel
dipped in toilet water, after which it
is dried with Turkish toweling. Then
there are the professional baths, the
Russian bath, Turkish bath, vapor
bath, mineral water or sulphur bath,
all good in their way and of value as
health reviewers. Any or all might
be classed under the head of the beauty
