AN OBJECT LESSON
In a Restaurant.

\ physician puts the query: Have
you never noticed IN any large restau.
rant at lunch or dinner time the large
number Of hearty, vigorous old men at
the tables; men whose ages run from
GO TO so years; many of them bald and
all perhaps gray, but none Of them fee
bic or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle Is SO common
as to have escaped your observation or
comment, but nevertheless 1t Is an OBJ
ject lesson which means something.
If you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating you will observe
that they are not munching bran crack
ers nor gingerly picking their way
through a menu card of new tangled
health foods; on the contrary they seem
to prefer juicy roast OF beef, a prop.
erly turned loin of mutton, and even
the deadly broiled lobster Is not alto
gether ignored.
The point of all this Is that vlgor.
Gus old age depends upon good diges-
tion and plenty of wholesome food and
not upon dieting and an ondeaVor to
live upon bran crackers.
There is certain class Of food
cranks who seem to believe that meat,
coffee, and many other good things are
rank poisons, but these cadaverous,
sickly looking individuals are a walk
Ing condemnation Of their own theor-
| les.
The matter in nutshell is that If the
stomach secretes the natural digestive
juices In sufficient quantity any whole.
some food will be promptly digested;
II the stomach does not do so, and cer-
tain foods cause distress one or two
of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after
each meal will remove all difficulty be-
cause they supply just what every
weak stomach lacks, pepsin, hydro.
chloric acid, distastes and nux.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not
act upon the bowels and In fact are not
strictly medicine, as they act almost
entirely upon the food eaten, dlgesting
1t thoroughly and thus gives much
needed rest and giving an appetite for
the next meal.
OF people who travel, nine out of ten
use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets know
ing them to be perfectly safe to use at
any time and also having found out
by experience that they are q safe
guard against indigestion In any form,
and eating as they have to, at all hours
and all kinds of food, the travelling
public for years have pinned their
faith to Stuart's Tablets.
All druggists sell them at so cents
Tor fuil sized packages and any drug
glst from Maine to California, If his
opinion were asked, will say that stu.
arts Dyspepsia Tablets is the most
popular and successful remedy for any
stomach trouble.

DICK
Gets a Nice Jolly
From the Enquirer's S Cor
respondent.
He's Called the "Napo-
leon" Of Politics Now.
Was the Whole Thing Until
Hanna Came.
Some Praise For the Akron Mans
Modesty.

There are o round million of voters
IN Ohio, says Columbus dispatch TO
the Enquirer. A few more than half
of these, probably, are Republicans
under normal conditions-say 100000,
Just to avoid complications in figures.
On Monday last the half million peo>
pie were represented by a sllm.walsted
fellow who was speeding westward
on q Baltimore and Ohio train. He
left Washington Sunday night, ac-
eompanied by small bodyguard or
Congressman and smaller lights in pol
flies. He wore brand new sack suit
OF grayish spring goods, which would
cost about $50 at a respectable tailor
shop on "the avenue" On his head
was q soft black hat OF fine quality
Win q mlltafy crease iii the
crown and cord where men of less
military taste and renown have a
band. His hair dark, getting to be
somewhat grizzled now, was rather
long and brushed back. His face was
shaven smooth. 1t was one of those
faces which are the most striking ana
picturesque without a curled mustachc
or Napoleonic imperial. The whole
get-up of the man was a study in Of
feet, though 1t was not radical enough
TO lay him liable TO the open charge
of posing. Had his abundant locks
been "soapy'' and his shirt dirty he
would have been crank. AS 1t was,
he was person TO be noted among
his fellows, with degree OF self.con-
sciousness that never quito stopped
over.

like an army, and the private soldiers
have only TO obey and the subordinate
officers merely carry out orders from

too fine. 1t leaves no play for enthus-

altogether on their food, clothing and

various kinds was where the money
went. The total expenditures for 1899
we're $6O5,O72,l79, against $345 1923 $3.50 in
1892. What went with the money can
be seen in the fact that 1929, BAL 1854 was
spent on the army and 1858 ,942, ,1O4 on the
navy in 1899. against SAC, 1896, ,456 spent on

ELECTlN6 SENATORS.

Again has the house passed bill
amending the constitution to make the
election of senators by the people legal
and obligatory and again has the senate
pssumed hostile attitude,
What are the senators afraid of? Are
they aware of the fact that most of them
would be retired to private life if the peo-
pie had the right to decide the matter?
Or are they anxious to retain position
in which they can serve combines and
trusts without losing their official heads.
Discussing this matter, the Pittsbure
Post well says: mo proposition to
change the fundamental law has been SO
generally approved as the ons to elect
senators by popular vote. The dangers
Of the existing system are notorious.

they may introduce constitu-

Will they repeal or suspend during the

DEADLY TEXAS cLOUDBURST.
AZ Least Fifteen Lives Lost, Inclua.
ing Two Heroes.


Coleman, Tex, July l7.-Fifteen
lives are known to have been lost in
cloudburst here yesterday. Ten
bodies have been recovered, but only
two we're identified. They are: Joseph
Spath, leading merchant OF the village;
John Fuleisstine.
II Is feared that many more lives
were lost In the valley below Cole
man. The cloudburst, which followed
three days unprecedented rainfall.
caused Ford's creek to burst its banks
and run through Coleman, a village
of less than 1000 inhabitants.
Bewildered citizens, reused from
their slumbers. rushed into the streets
and were swept away. Many were
saved by catching hold Of pieces of
timber and navigating them into ed
dies formed by the swift current.
where they were drawn ashore.
Spath and Fuleisstine managed to
mount their horses. They dashed into
the water and swan their horses to a
house where four little girls were
screaming for help. Each rescued two
of the children, whom they took upon
their horses The animals were swept
away, however, in noble effort to
stem the swift current, and all were
drowned.
