Trapping the English.

In all British campaigns the capacity
of the officers to get their men into
traps, has been no less marked than
the valor of the soldiers when thus en-
trapped. The story of the present
BOer campaign is full Of instances
proving this, and the same thing has
been noted for centuries. The history >
of England's conquest of America lS
redcoats fell into Indian ambuscades.
out of which they sometimes fought
their way and often failed to do so.
Every Indian tribe had its song of how
it trapped the English pale face. Then
when the colonies arose and struck for
independence, the English Went from
one trap into another until Saratoga
and Yorktown proved their ruin. In
India the brave English soldiers were
always fighting their way out Of
desperate positions into which thei;
officers led them. If British command
ers and officials had not had their eyes
shut the Indian mutiny might have
been avoided.
And it is the same story over and
over in the present South African
struggle. Several serious blunders
have been made for which the troops
have paid dearly. The affair at
,l,D1
the wreck Of the armored train the
latest. Both We're serious disasters
but the end is not yet. The English
man is a tireless fighter, full of pluck
| and persistence. but it does seem as
though he took pride in walking de-
liberately into traps set by the enemy

Advice to Dyspeptics
How to Cure Themselves.
RELIEF COMES THE FIRST HOUR

It may seem strange for you to find
after years of doctoring that Dyspepsia in
all its forms is one of the easiest diseases
to cure, yet such is q fact. 1t was only
necessary to find the cause and science
soon furnished the cure. For years the
medical profession thought that food was
digested in the stomach and that the lack
of digestive fluids caused indigestion,
nervous dyspepsia, fatulency, and in
truth all the supposed various forms of
dyspepsia known. Believing this, they,
with the manufacturers, have always
worked on these lines, and all dyspepsia
cures made were composed of digestive
ferments combined with some cathartic.
The fact that temporary relief followed
the use of these remedies was sufficient
reason for their continuance, although to
the surprise of the doctors permanent
cures were seldom made. This was easily
explained, however, when science proved
that food was not digested in the
stomach at all, only prepared by this
organ for digestion by the intestines; !;
that dyspepsia was caused by q disease
germ and that they had been doctoring
the symptoms instead Of the disease it
self. 1t was found that these germs in
the stomach caused indigestion, flatul-
cncy, catarrh of the stomach, gastritis,
nervous and acid dyspepsia, and, when
located in the bowels caused intestinal
Indigestion, biliousness, diarrhoea, con
stipation, catarrh Of the bowels and
appendicitis. s-S- 14

to build here a library by licensed
gambling: it would not be right to
erect on these gambling foundations a
structure that would be a monument to

to establish and maintain library,

from the food taken into the stomach.
