HOW SHE Celebrated CHRIST
MAS

Mary joyce lives at 4 Dumphy's block.
She celebrated Christmas with her spouse
by getting some OF the split which is
now sold to satisfy thoss whoee thirst
Is over-powering. In the course OF the
morning she and her husband, Edward,
became involved in an argument which
speedily developed Into q test OF strength
and agility. Edward used a piece OF iron
taken from stove in such a manner as
to leave two long gashes on Mary's head
as souvenirs of a prohibition Christmas,
These were sewed up at the poli.e sta

FIFTY TONS OF CANDY

Fifty tens Of candy have been sent 70
the soldiers In the Philippine Islands by
the commissary department Of the army
during the last three months and large
amounts TO the soldiers In Cuba and
Puerto Rico.
This Il done upon advice of the medical
officers OF the army, because Il Is a physi-
illogical fact that a moderate consump-
ton of confectionery promotes health
and satisfies a natural craving of the
stomach.
Candy was never furnished to the
United States army before although IL
has been commonly used as a ration by the
French and British troops In the tropics.
This explodes another old fashioned
theory that sweets were Injurious to the
digestive organs, while a moderate use
of sweets Is actually beneficial.
Very few things are injurious ana the
food cranks who advocate the use of q
few grams and vegetables and decry the
use Of sweets and meats are In error, as q
wholesome variety OF meat and vegetable
food is absolutely necessary for the main
tenance of the highest condition of health.
The best rule TO follow Is to eat what
the appetite Graves, and II there is any
discomfort or trouble in digesting meat
and sweets, the difficulty can DO readily
overcome by the regular use sitter meals
of some safe digestive composed OF pep
sin and diastass which Will assist the
stomach by increasing the flow Of gastric
Juice and furnish the natural peptone
lacking in week stomachs.
The best preparation OF this kind Is
probably Stuart's Dyspepsia Tsblets
which may be found at all drug stores.
Years of use have demonstrated the
value and effectiveness of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets in all cases of impaired
digestion.

torfiy the sections governing the per

for an expediture of $4,000 under it this
year and 500 600 during 1901 and 1902, and
other companies may use its poles, wires

grant of the ordinance to twenty years
instead of thirty years, and providing for

vided such charges shall be reasonable.

A person who has chronic catarrhal
difficulties and has not given Peruna a
fair trial, is unfortunate, indeed To be
aff1lcted with chronic catarrh and not try
Peruna, is as foolish as to have the Old
fashioned chills and fever and refuse to
try quinine, or to have a broken bone and
not allow the doctor to set it.
Peruna has come to be so universally
recognized as a specific cure for catarrhal
directions. acute or chronic, that 1t is
amazing that any one should continue to

negiectlng to take remedy that is sure.
