Just Rs Easy to Form as Any Other.
We do not deliberately form our pet
habits, but they are unconsciously acquired
and grow as we grow. and by the time We
learn they are hurting US. we IND them 100
strong to be easily broken.
Then, why not form a good habit, habit
which will cOunteract the many bad ones
in other words contract the questionable
habit of being always well
The best health habit TO get into is 10
have and keep a vigorous stomach; il YOU
have a 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, with
out any assistance.
Form the habit Of taking after meals
some harmless but efficient digestive which
will relieve the stomach of so much extra
work
Nature furnishes MS with such dgestives
and when they are combined in such a
pleasant preparation as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. they give the Oyerw0Tked stomach
Just the necessary assistance to secure
perfect digestion without any OF the harm
ful effects OF cathartics and similar drugs
The habit OF taking Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after meals is as necessary 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 Tablets
| as essential in the house as knives and
/ forks
They consist entirely OF natural digestive
! principles without the effect or character
istics of drugs. they have no eathartic
action, but simply 20 to work on the food
eaten and digest &C.
Take into account your bad habits ard
the expense they entail and then invest
! fifty cents in box Of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets and see il your digestion for the
next month is not vastly improved.
Ask the clerk in any drug store the name
of the most successful and popular stomach
remedy and he viii say "Stuart's."

Republicans and Democrats Consider the
Question of Bills.
Washington, Dec 4.-The Republic
an senatorial committee on order Of
business yesterday afternoon decided
that the ship subsidy bill should dis
place the SpOoner Philippine bill as
the unfinished business. 1t also con
sidered at the same time the DISPOSE
ton Of the Hay -Pauncefote treaty, and
decided that it should receive alternate
attention with the shipping b H. The
arrangement provides that the ship
ping bill shall have preference. but
that when no one is prepared to make
a speech on it the senate shall 20 into
executive session for the consideration
of the treaty.
The arrangement further provides
that if the army bill reaches the sen
ate prior TO the disposal of the ship
ping bill or the treaty, either or both
Of these may be displaced temporarily
in order to permit the prompt consid-
