FOR WELL PEOPLE.
An Easy Wayta Keep Well.

1t is easy to keep well if we would only
observe each day few simple rules Of
health.
The aIl-important thing Is to keep the
stomach right. and TO do this it is not ne
cessary TO diet or TO follow a set rule or
bill of fare. Such pampering simply
makes capricious appetite and feel
ing that certain favorite articles of food
must be avoided.
prof Wiechold gives pretty good advice
on this subject. He says: II am sixty
eight years old, and have never had a
serious Illness, and at the same time my
life has been largely an indoor one, but /
early discovered that the way to keep
healthy was TO keep a healthy stomach,
not by eating bran crackers orzdiettng OF
any Sort on the contrary, Il always eat
what my appetite Graves. but for the
past eight years I have made 1t a daily
practice to take one or two of Stuart's
dyspepsia Tablets after each meal, and
1 attribute my robust health for a man
of my age TO the regular daily use OF
Stuart's Tablets.
..My physician first advised me to use
them, because he said they We're per
fectly, harmless and were not a secret
,Titent medicine, but contained only the
natural dIgestives, peptones and diastase,
and after using them a few weeks / have
never ceased 10 thank him for his advice.
81 honestly believe the habit of taking
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is
the real health habit, because their use
brings health to the sick and aiiing ara
preserves health to the well and strong
Men and women past fifty years of age
need q safe digestive after meals to in
sure a perfect digestion and to ward off
disease, and the safest, best known and
most widely used is Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets.
They are found IN every well regulated
household from Maine to California, anS
in Great Britain and Australia are rapidly
pushing their way into popular favor
All druggists sell STARTS Dyspepsia
Tablets. full sized packages. At 90 cents
and for weak stomach a ffty-cent

If the complete obscuration is short the lower parts of the "corona" and 'chromosphere" give out a light at least three or four times as bright as that of the full moon. A great amount of light also is sent in from the surrounding air thirty or forty miles away where the brightly shining.

 What is most curious at the moment Of total eclipse of the sun the globular shape of the moon becomes vididly apparent. De- scribing his first impression of this, at the time of the great eclipse of 1869, Professor Langley says: We all know well enough that the, moon is solid sphere, but it only looks like a bright, flat circle fastened to the concave of the starry vault; and now, owing to it's unwonted illumination, the actual rotundity was seen for the first time, and the result was to it as it really is-a monstrous, solid globe, sus- pended by some invisible support above the earth, with nothing apparent to keep it from tumbling us, looking at the mo- ment near, and more than anything else like a gigantic black cannon ball, hung by

 The "chromosphere," or color-sphere, is so called because it is brilliantly scarlet. It resembles a sheet of flame issuing from the surface of the "photosphere" to an al- titude of from 1000 to 10000 miles, and as
