AN OBJECT LESSON

A physician puts the query:
Have you never noticed IN any
large restaurant at lunch or din
ner time the large number 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 COM
mon as to have escaped your OBJ
seryation or comment, but never
theless 1t is an object lesson which
means something.
II you will notice what these
hearty old fellows are eating you
will observe that they are not
munching bran crackers nor gin
gerly picking their way through a
menu card OF new tangled health
foods: on the contrary they seem
TO prefer a juicy roast of beef,
properly turned loin of mutton,
and even the deadly broiled lob
ster is not altogether ignored.
The point of all this is that a
vigorous old age depends upon
good digestion 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 poison. but these
cadaverous sickly looking individ-
uals are a walking condemnation
of theid own theories.
The matter in a nutshell is that
If the stomach seeretes the natural
digestive juices in sufficient quaint
ity any wholesome food will be
promptly digested, If the stomach
does not do so, and certain foods
cause distress one or two of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal will remove all difficulty be-
cause they supply Just what every
weak stomach lacks, pepsin, hy-
dro-chloric acid. distastes and
nux.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do
not act upon the bowels and in
ldCl dtS ilOl StiiNtly u HlSQiNAnS, DIS
they act almost entirely upon the
food eaten. digesting 1t 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 Tab
lets, knowing them to be perfect
ly safe to use at any time and also
having found out by experience
that they are a safeguard against
Indigestion in any form, and eat
ing as they have to, at all hours
and all kinds OF food, the travel
ing public for years have pinned
their faith to Stuart's Tablets.
All druggists sell them at so
cents for full sized packages and
any druggist from Maine to Cali
fornia, If his opinion were asked,
will say that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets is the most popular and
successful remedy for any stomach
trouble.

o a maiden fair

o maiden fair
Was lettering where
A glad brook purled along,
And from her throat
Came the s.lvery note
OF lifting little Song:
The sky Is blue
Ard my love is true
And trouble is far away.
And out on the mead
The lambkns feed
And butt each other in play"
But the maid so fair
Who was lettering there
On the plank that spanned the brook
1t seemed had forgotten
The thing was rotten,
And when she sang she shook.
That the sky was blue
And her love was true
There's no good reason to doubt.
Yet her song was Stilied
And her heart was chilled
When she finally waded out.
The winter season is rapidly drawing
to close, but there are surprisingly
large number Of social entertainments,
considering the warm weather. The
temperature is suggestive of outings
and outdoor sports, rather than balls
and parties To-day the parks are
opened for the first time, with brass
band concerts at each. During the
next few weeks there will be a number
of social affairs at these resorts, in adj
dition to the dramatic and musical en-
tertainments which are now being ar
ranged Cards already issued and in
the hands of the printers are sufficient
in number to indicate that May will
be notable month for weddings The
next fortnight will see several pleasing
assemblages, none of them of an elab-
crate nature, however.
