EASY TO MARRY IN CHICAGO.
No Red Tape in the Way of Securing
Licenses.

From the Chicago Inter-ocean)
One of the easiest things in Chicago is
| the getting of a marriage license. All you
have to do is to 90 to Mr.. Salmonson in
the City Hail and ask for it. There are no
restrictions except to be Of age, and the
age is placed so young that that no one
could object No red tape, no explanation
of religion. race, or previous condition of
servitude. Simply state your age and that
of the woman, names and residences; take
off your hat and swear so help me God'
and so forth; get your license, pay LOT II
al the cashiers desk and go forth to be-
come a benedict. to lead your bride, blush
ing or otherwise, TO the altar; home again,
and then commences the matrimonial rou-
tine.
Mr.. Salmonson has issued marriage Ii
censes for eighteen years, and pleased-at
least temporarily-on an average OF l5,O00
couples a wear. There are more foreigners
than Americans married in Chicago. Mon
day is usually the biggest day and Friday
falls short of the others showing the su-
perstition regarding that day is not yet
dead.
In Chicago the average age at when
mon marry is twenty-five, while the Wom-
en- average twentyOne years. ltailans
and French-Canadians marry younger
than any other class of people. VI iate
Poles and Bohemians have been IN the

came a Pole, who brought an Interpreter

a very lucky girl. If he is as good as he is
handsome she will be very happy.
The next was another Pole, and his girl
was only sixteen. He was with difficulty
made to understand that the girl
was under age and that parents consent
was necessary before 'the twain could be
as one." A gentleman present said he
would probably return and claim that the
girl was eighteen and that he had previ-
ously made mistake.

RULERS OF The WORLD.
Meat Eating Nations Are the Leaders
i'm Every Branch of Human
Achievement.

The ruling nations of the world are meat
eaters and history records that they always
have been.
Eegetarians and food cranks may explain
this in any way they choose, but the facts
remain that the Americans, English
French Russians. and Germans are meat
eating nations and they are also the most
energetic and most progressive.
The principal food of the heroic Boer SOL
dier, known Biltong, is a sort of dried
beef. afiording a great deal of nourishment
in a highly concentrated form.
The weak races of people are the rice
eating Chinese. Hindoos. and Siamese, re-
garded since the dawn of history non
progressive, superstitious, and inferior
physically and mentally to the meat-eating
nations who dominate them.
The structure of the teeth plainly indi
Gates that human beings should subsist
upon a variety of food. meat, fruit, and
grains, and it is unhygienic TO conflne ones
diet TO any one OF those classes to- the ex
clusion of another.
Meat is the most concentrated and most
easily digested OF foods, but our manner OF
living is often so unnatural that the di-
gestive organs refuse to properly digest
meats, eggs and similar nutritious and
wholesome food but IL is not because such
food is unwholeSome. but the'real reason
is that the stomach lacks, from disease or
weakness, some necessary digestive ele-
ment; hence arising indigestion and later
on chronic dyspepsia.
Nervous people should eat plenty of meat,
convalescents should make meat the prin-
cipal food hard working people have to do
so. and brainworkers and Office men should
eat not so much meat, but at least once
day, and to ensure its perfect digestion
one of two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
should be taken after each meal, because
they supply the peptones, diastase, and
fruit acids lacking in every case of stom-
ach trouble.
Nervous dyspepsia, catarrh OF stomach,
gastritis, sour stomach. gas, and acidity are
only different names for indigestion, the
failure TO digest wholesome food. and the
use of Stuart's Tablets cures them all be-
cause. by affording perfect digestion, the
stomach has chance to rest and recover
its natural tone and vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the real
household medicine; il is as safe and pleas
ant for the stomachache of the baby as it
is for the imperfect digestion of its grand
sire
They are not a cathartic but a digestive
and no pill habit can ever follow their use;
the only habit Stuart's Tablets induce is
the habit of good digestion and conse-
quently good health.
