THE HEALTH HABIT.
lust as Easy TO Form as Any Other.

We do not deliberately form our pet
habits. but they are unconsciously ac-
quircd and grow as we grow. and by
the time we learn they are hurting us,
we find them too strong to be easily
broken.
Then, why not form a good habit. a
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
to have and keep Il vigorous stomach ::
if 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, without any assist
ance.
Form the habit of taking after meals
some harmless but efficient digestive
which will relieve the stomach of so
much extra work.
Nature furnishes us with such diges-
tves and when they are combined in
such a pleasant preparation as
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, they give
necessary assistance to secure perfect
digestion without any Of the harmful
effects of cathartics and similar drugs.
The habit of taking Stuart's DyS-
pepsia Tablets after meals is as neces-
sary to the weak stomach as food 1t
self. and indeed to get the benefit from
food eaten. nothing better and certain
~ nothing safer can be used.
Many families consider Stuart's Tab
lets as essential in the house as knives
and forks.
They consist entirely of natural di-
SeStive principles without the effect
or characteristics of drugs: they have
no cathartic action. but simply go tC
work on the food eaten and digest it
Take into account your bad habits
and the expense they entail and ther
invest fifty cents in box of Stuart's
| Dyspepsia Tablets ana see if youi
digestion for the next month is moi
vastly improved.
| Ask the clerk in any drug store tht
name Of the most successful and popu
! lar stomach remedy and he will say

A Democratic Friend Of the Frye Bill.

With the single exception of the gold
standard, which was 50 promptly
passed, no measure has come before
Congress at this session with such
widespread support among the bust
ness men of the country as the ship
ping bill introduced by Senator Frye
Of Maine, whose object is to bring
back our flag to its old-timc glory on
the seas. to build up our merchant
marine and to secure fair play and an
even chance for our ship
owners and merchants. The restO-
ration of our merchant marine Is
net party measure. The
Republican party is pledged to this
cause but it has its frien4s in the
Democracy. In the last issue Of
Harper's Weekly, the Frye bill is
strongly championed by Arthur
Sewall Of Bath, who four years ago
was the Democratic candidate for
President ana is one of the most
conspicuous Democrats Of New Eng
land. Mr.. Sewall-perhaps the great
est practical New England ship-owner
of the present day-declares that our
dependence upon foreign ships, which
now carry more than 80 per cent. of
our ocean commerce, costs US the
enormous sum of $500, 600 900 a year.
He points out the immense increase in
the productive energies of our nation
which would follow if this 5000. 900, 900
or the bulk Of it were earned by
American ships-the great shipyardS
that would be established, the impetus
that would be given to mining, rail
road traffic, steel manufacturing. the
new opportunities for investors, the
wider employment and higher wages
for skilled artisans. Mr.. Sewall con
tinues:
But chiefly the benefit derived will
patriotic heart. Why is England
mistress of the seas? Not alone be
cause of her mighty navy. but be
cause also of her vast maritime fleets.
Warships are out of date in ten years.
But the plant that makes it possible
to create a navy is always on hand.
The maritime nation has a huge
auxiliary navy ready for instant call
in time of national danger. The value
of these craft was amply proven in
our late war. With the establishment
of shipyards on our splendid seaboard
we should be prepared for any cmer-
gency. There would be dry docks and
coalng stations. repair shops and
places of rendezvous. arsenals and
depots of supplies. all at our command
in time Of peace or war.

Lord Roberts as a Critic.

General Roberts, in his recent sensa-
that England has had some very
stupid officers leading a very brave
army in South Africa. His indictment
of the officers who We're responsible
for the serious disaster at Spion kop,
is one of the severest in the annals Of
official military reports. He is most
liberal and impartial with his censurc
melting it out indiffercntly to Generals
Butler, Warren and Thornycroft.
Butler he distinctly charges with being
unequal to and unfit for his response
biitics. Warren made fatal errors of
Judgment ana showed want Of ad-
ministrativc capacity ThornyCroft
assumed altogether too much au-
thority. The criticism of all. espe-
cially Butler. is CALLING. 1t is even
stronger than that which has been
made Of thee generals by the press
and those critics outside Of army
circles.
The report goes far to explain why
the English army is not nearer Pre-
toria. It would seem i'll view Of Lord
Roberts action that a reorganization
If commands is Indispensable. for the
army must lose confidence in these
discredited leaders. The lack Of har-
mony among the English generals
would mean the destruction If the
army We're it facing equal numbers Of
another great power. OF the officers
who were conspicuous in the early
part Of the war French with his cav
airy, is the only one who remains
active and in high favor. White was
1T off on account of poor health,
Gatacre is discredited and bound for
home, and though Methucn is still in
the field his standing is dubious.
Roberts is organizing and reforming
the large army now at his disposal,
and once he begins his great forward
movement, the Boer cause is doomed.
The commander has and merits the
confidence of his countrymen as well
us of the army, and it is a pity he
could not have been in the field from
the first and planned the campaign.
1t would have merCifully shortened
the unnecessary struggle.

The Case Of Dr.. Cooke.

Just to encourage some and to
shame others, we wish to call atten-
ton to the remarkable career of Dr.
James r. Cooke, who died such
/ tragic death in Boston. few days
ago. Blind from birth. this man
achieved marvellous success in ms pro
| fession as d physician and surgeon.
| Think of q man. by the sense OF touch
alone. able to perform the most deli
cate and difficult Of modern surgical
onerations where the error of hairs
breadth is fatal. and to rise to the
head of his profession in the perform
ance. What infinite patience and per-
severance marked the years of his
study. How grandly he developed the
powers God had given him that he
might overcome the tremendous dis
advantage caused by his sightleSs
eyes. Himself blind, he became a
skilled oculist, ranking as one Of the
most successful in great city.
Dr. Cooke was a young man when
the end came, but the 81 years of his
life had been wonderfully busy ones.
There may have been other blind
physicians, but no other ever gained
graduate of the Harvard Medical
school and at once built up a great
notes had challenged the admiration
of scientific bodies, and his literary
work upon this subject made him a
recognized authority at home and
abroad. especially in the relation of
hypnotism to medical practice. AS
mentioned above, he was an eminent
specialist in surgery and a famous
oculist- Moreover. he was an accom-
plished musician and an able public
sp eaker And all this in a young man
totally blind from birth. not bereft of
sight after the eye had aided mental
and manual progress, but without
SIGHT from the beginning. 1t seems
like an example of the attainment of
the marvellous versatility of DIR.
impossible.
There have been in recent years,
numerous cases of remarkable de-
vclOpmcnt of persons who were blind.
and also of those lacking the other
s nses. as speech or hearing. or both,
but we feel that all are surpassed by
the marvellous versatility of DR..
Cooke and his supremacy in the prac-
teal world. Beside his achievements.
in spite of an obstacle commonly re-
garded as insurmOuntable, how small
seem the results accomplished by most
of US in whom the senses are perfect.
What an inspiration we should find in
the story of his great triumphs And
yet. after all. it may be we give him
too much praise. Perhaps in place of
the sight h. lacked. he was given
powers and possibilities denied to US
who are called more favored.
