cratic state convention to be held in this
city on August 16 When the state central
committee of that party adjourned its last
meeting without setting a date for the con-
vention 1T was thought that the democrats
were preparing to fuse. In fact they were
preparing to fuse, but after hard fight
the committee has now issued a caH for
democrats and it is given out that straight
democratic ticket will be put in the field,
though it is likely that there will be a big
fight on the floor of the convention over the
matter.

Just as Easy to Form as ANY Other,
We Go not deliberately form our pct

we find them too strong TO be easily

Then, why not form a good habit, a

UNREASONABLE habit OF being always

The best health habit to get into is to
have and keep a vigorous stomach: if
you have 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 assistance.
Form the habit of taking after meals
some harmless but efficient digestive
which viii relieve the stomach of SO
much extra work.
Nature furnishes us with such diges-
tive and when they are combined in
such pleasant preparation as Staart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, they give the over
sistance to secure perfect digestion with
ont any of the harmful effects of
cathartics and similar drugs.
The habit of taking Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets after meals is as nee ssary
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 Tab

They consist entirely of natural diges-
tive principles without the effect or
characteristics of drugs: they have no
cathartic action. but simply go to work
on the food eaten and digest IT,
Take into account your bad habits and
