AN OBJECT LESSON
In a Restaurant.

A physician puts the query: Haye you
never noticed in any large restaurant
at lunch or dinner time the large num-
Der of hearty, vigorous old men at the
tables; men whose ages run from so to
so years; many Of them bald and all
perhaps gray, but none of them feeble
or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so common
as to have escaped your observation or
comment but nevertheless it 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 a juicy roast of
beef, a properly turned loin of mutton,
and even the deadly broiled lobster is
not altogether ignored.
The point of all this is that a vigor-
Gus old age depends upon good diges-
ton and plenty of wholesome food and
not upon dieting and an endeavor to
live upon bran crackers.
There is a 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 walking con-
The matter in a. nutshell is that If
the stomach secretes the natural diges-
tive juices in sufficient quantity any
wholesome food will be promptly d.
gested if the stomach does not do so,
and certain foods cause distress one or
two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
each meal will remove all difficulty be-
cause they supply just what every
weak stomach lacks, pepsin, hydro
chloric acid. diastase and nux.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not act
upon the bowels and in fact are not
strictly a medicine, as they act almost
entirely upon the food eaten, digesting
it thoroughly and thus gives a 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
against indigestion in any form, and
all kinds of food, the travelling public
for years have pinned their faith to
Stuart's Tablets.
All druggists sell them at 80 cents for
full sized packages and any druggist
from Maine to California, if his opin-
ion were asked, will say that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets is the most popular
! and successful remedy for any stomach

BARKLEY,
BEFOREA BATTLE.
TFrom the London NALL


The names of the British killed and
wounded after a battle are ascertained
by meaas of the Identification cards
which all our soldiers carry sewn in the
left-hand corner of their khaki tunics.
On the card are written the soldier
name, rank, regimental number, togeth-
er with the name and address of his
next of kin. The latter is added so
that the authorities may know where
to forward the effects of any soldier
who gets killed.
After an engagement the roll is called
as soon as the regiments get back to
their camp. Every man who does not
search is made for him on the field. As
the search parties come across the dead
and wounded men they rip open the
tunic at the left-hand corner and take
out the Identification card. The cards
thus collected are carried back to camp
and handed over to the clerks of the
general in command, who therefrOm
compile the casualty lists.
After all the cards have been COL
lected the roll is checked again and a
note made of those men of whom no
trace has been discovered. These are
usually presumed to have been taken
prisoners, but it does not always follow
that the assumption is correct.
In the corner of his tunic opposite the
identification card every soldier carries
a small pad of bandages, ETC., fro dress
ing a wound. This field dressing" as
it is called, is added to 'Tommy's"
equipment in order that he may be his
own surgeon until medical assistance
arrives, or may have the wherewithal
on him to bind up the wounds of a
chum.
You will probably be surprised to
learn that one of the first things Tom
N.Y. does when ordered to the front is

ment contains a percentage of happy
go-lucky fellows who do not worry

their property when they no longer re-

JAPAN'S NEW GOLDFIELDS.
TFrom the London Standard


The newly discovered gold fields in
Hokkaido cover, as far as is known at
present, an area of about six hundred
and fifty square miles. They extend over
the whole northwestern corner of the
island. They are situated in the pro-
vince of Kitami. The center of the
goldfelds is Mount Horo Noboru, nat
ural boundaries being formed by the
rivers Horobetsu and Tombetsu, in the
southeast and west. The gold is almost
exclusively found in small streams and
rivers rising in the Horo Noboru hills.
Esashi, a place often mentioned now,
was, until a short time ago, a wretched
fishing village, with hardly four hun
dred inhabitants. Today it is a rapidly
growing town, containing already more
than eight thousand people.
The reports as to the output of gold
are greatly at variance, and those in
terested endeavor to keep it as secret as
possible, to protect themselves from
competition. Meanwhile, it is certain
that a company which is buying up the
gold from the diggers on the spot, has
exported in the last nine months pure
gold to the value of 31,670. The gold
is obtained in the most primitive man
ner by simply washing out the river
sand. The climate is favorable.
Licenses are comparatively inexpensive,
and are frequently evaded, as the ten
policemen, who usually succeed in main
tanning order, can not compel the dig
gers to comply with the regulations and
pay the customary concession tax. The

MCCOY TO FIGHT oHoYNsKL
Battle of Twenty-Five Rounds Finally
Scheduled For FRIDAY.

New York Jan. 1.-"Kid',- Mccoy will
fight again Friday night He will meet
Joe Choynski at the Broadway club for
twenty-five rounds. 1t is scarcely nee
essary to say this will be a catch weight
affair. The men are not in any particular
class, both being q trifle above the mid
die weight limit at this time and yet too
light for the upper heavies, as far as the
technical division goes.
This match has been hanging fire for
long time. For three years it has been
talked of, without it being made. All
this time the friends of the Californian
have been urging. him to go. ahead and
sign articles which might include almost
any concessions. In this place, that and
the other articles have been drawn up
and signatures have been affixed but in
each case the negotiations have fallen
through for one reason or another. For
Friday night everything is in readiness.
The chickering's between Choynski and
Mccoy have engendered a good deal of
disagreeable personal feeling. As mat
ter of fact, Choynski formally retired
from the ring a few months ago. He felt
he was in a position which would permit
him to get along without continuing bus
mess at the ring. But when Mccoy
threw out a definite def to the man with
whom he had been in a lengthy wrangle
Choynski took it up instantly and the
battle is due.

RYAN RoAsrs ANsoN.
Blond Fielder Declares the "Old Man.
Gould Not Manage q Club.

Chicago, Jan. 11.-Jimmy Ryan is the
heavy villain in A. c. Ansons biography
of himself, which will be issued as
history of baseball very shortly. Arson
accuses Ryan of running all his hopes,
plans and ambitions by his levity, dis
respect, INSTRUMENTATION and insobriety.
The fact that all of Ansons late woes
center about the blonde sun fielder
seemed to rest lightly upon the Shout
ders of the villain in "A Baseball Play
er's Career" Jimmy bore his honors
lightly, but incidentally gave Arson an
advance notice" on his literary efforts
yesterday.
"It was 1, was it, who spoiled Anson's
chances through my INSTRUMENTATION and
inebriety. The fact of the case is that
he was more to blame for the bad show
ing of the team than anybody else. His
ridiculous moves that year, his arbi-
trary ways at times and his lax dis
cipline at others made it impossible for
the team to make a decent showing at
any stage of the game.
Now Will tell you my connection
with the team that last year. I was
completely discouraged with the way
things were going, and I am free to
this and so did President Hart.
I told both that I wanted to
be traded, and Arson made
haste to comply, but slipped up in the
negotiations. Arson wanted to trade me
for McAleer of Cleveland, even up, but
when it came to a show down, President
Hart Cancelled the deal, and 1 think he
had the fans on his side, and I Was
compelled to stay with Arson.
THE discipline, as I said, was gone
early in the season. Arson, for some
fancied breach of discipline, put Tim
DOnahue on the bench and went behind
the bat himself, and all Chicago laugh
ed at him. Malachi Kittridge had gone
before Tim. When the boys got ready
to go on the trips out of town it was a
signal for a good time. I remember one
game in particular in Brooklyn, 1 think
it was decoration day, and we were sup
posed to play at 1890 in the forenoon.
There were about six of the boys out
at the game at the appointed time. We
lost, of course, and when noon came
we went to a brewery or some such
place as that for dinner. We came out
in the afternoon and shut out the bride
grooms. Arson took the cue, and said
that thereafter he would have a key
on tap.
THE trouble with Arson is that he
failed to realize his ambition and he
has soured on the world. He wanted
to be president of the Chicago Baseball
club, and when he failed in this every
body was trying to throw him down,
in his own opinion. I care nothing for
what Arson has to say about me. am
playing baseball for the money that
there is in it, and l am not in the game
for the glory. When I can't play the
game any longer then I will drop out
and leave the game to jog along with
out me, and shall let bygones be by
cones"
