CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, Safe but En-
fectual Cure for It.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing TO incurable
The usual symptoms are a full or bloated
sensation after eating, accompanied some
times with sour or watery risings, a for
nation Of gases, causing pressure on the
lungs and heart and difficult breathing,
headache tickle appetite, nervousness and
a general piayed-out and Ianguid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the mouth
coated tongue. and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show
shiny, nfiamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
disease is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily and thor
oushly digested before 1t has time to fer
ment and irritate the delicate mucous sur
faces Of the stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy diges-
ton 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 Diastrse,
Assptic Pepsin. little Nux, Golden Sea,
and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at all

Sunnress AIumned Food

The doctors inform US that alum is a
poison, and that alum baking powders
should be avoided because they make the
food unwholesome. Prominent hygienists,
who have given the matter most study,
regard these powders as an evil that
should be suppressed by state action. In
Minnesota and Wisconsin alum powders
are not permitted to be sold unless they
are branded to warn consumers of their
true character, while in the District Of
Columbia the authorities have under the
direction Of congress adopted regulations
to prohibit the use of alum in bread alto
gether.
Are not the people of other states, as
well as those of Minnesota and Wisconsin,
entitled to warning of a danger which is
apparently menacing them at close hand,
and is not the whole country entitled to
absolute protection, as the people of the
District of Columbia are protected, by
legislation which is entirely prohibitive?
Until we can have protection in the form
of a statute, how can our state boards

A chaplain in the navy is detailed regu-
larly for duty among the boys, and to look
after them in any way he may think most
conducive to their highest moral improve
ment. Every Sunday the boys are assem-
bled on deck TO join in a regular church
worship, presided oEer by the chaplain, and
it is a most interesting sight to see several
hundred boys of tender age, all in the same
lblue uniform, joining heartily in the serv-
ice. Those with voices worthy of any cult
walton are assigned to the choir, and they
enjoy this honor quite as much as any of
the several privileges that fall TO their lot.
At certain other times, in the evening, dur

assemble for any kind Of innocent amuse-
ment, and one of the most popular pastimes
among them seems to be dancing.

The scholar is first taught the name and

tiers, arranged in proper order as to mean

The books are generally furnished by the

the pupils.

as each one goes on repeating his portion
OF the tasks aloud regardless of what Is 60

The use of the rod Is somewhat different
In Korea from this part of the world. The

The time when umbrellas could only be

lates how pride once went before bewilder-
ment to one OF them.
When umbrellas first came into Blair
gorie, it says, they were sported only by
the minister and the laird, and were looked
upon by the common class of people as per-
feet phenomena. One day Daniel Nh
went to Colonel Mcpherson at Blairgorie
house; when about to return there came on a
shower, and the colonel politely offered him
the loan of an umbrella, which was politely
and proudly accepted; and Daniel, with his

AN INNOCENT REsCUER.
How the New Yorker Saved II Small
Boy from "a Whipping.

Southern hospitality Is famous, and when
a New Yorker went to pay a visit at a Nir-
ginia country house this fall his host met
him in Richmond and duly escorted him
upon the local suburban train. On the way
out the host remarked that he had the day
before placed his 14-year-old son at a board
ing school thirty-hye miles from home.
However" added the host, "you'll find the
other eight at home all right enough; or all
wrong enough, it depnds upon how they
happen to behave" Arrived at the country
house, the entire family turned out to greet
the guest. Among them the guest noticed a
boy who appeared TO be about II years OF
age, but in so large a family the children
were apt to look all the same age, more or
less, and il might be a case of twins. There
was, however, a certain establishment tenn
pered with no uncertain reserve in the
fathers greeting of this boy, while the rest
Of the family undoubtedly had the air of
standing round to see what would happen
when the two met. So perfect is southern
hospitality, however, that nothing occurred
to justify these passing first reflections and
never a suspicion had the guest that the
household was not in complete accord. The
14-year-old seemed to be in particularly
good spirits, and he seemed TO regard the
New Yorker with especial favor, After din

the guest and said: you've done me an

BOYS IN HI NAVY.
Naval Apprentices and Their Life ut
u Training station.

Apprentices of the United States Navy
Is the title of an article in the March st.
Nicholas that is sure to be read with at
tention by every boy who thinks of a life
at sea as an attractive alternative to a ca
reer on land.
Almost every boy by this time knows of
battleships and cruisers, of torpedoes and
topedo boats and Of the gallant officers and
jolly Jack Tars who man the ships; but it
is safe TO say that there are few indeed who
have ever heard of the young naval appren-
tice, the work which he has to do and what
his chances are for the future, 1t is enough
at present to say that he is an enlisted boy,
who by means of a great deal OF drill and
training develops gradually into a most
ethcieat and useful man on board of our
modern ships.
Although, as already stated, the apprentice
can never hope 10 become a commissioned
officer, there are many positions of trust
and honor in the service that are open to
him, II he but applies himself to the tasks
assigned to him day by day and is awake
to the opportunities that are sure TO turn up
for him.
The boys at the training station truly may
be said to live in a little world OF their own
! for they do not need to go outside of their
own circle to find any of the needs OF life.
At certain hours of the day they form a we'll
regulated school in which they are taught
all the elements of science, English and
mathematics-enough to enable them to
understand thoroughly and to handle intel.

of a modern man-of-war.
