Truth inadvertently Told.

Senator Wolcott incidentally aimed
a pretty severe thrust at Senator Bev-
eridge's Grafton on the Philippines in
his reply to Senator Pettigrew: Sen
ator Beveridge." he said, had told
of a mountain of gold. of coffee, of
hemp. of corn, of the rich and tempt
ing valley of Luzon, and he had said
our commerce bv the retention of the
islands would be richly rewarded The
argument of the senator from Indi-
ana declared Senator Wolcott, is
base and sordid." The warfare
now being waged in the Phil
ippines was to he justified on
island. Senator Wolcott thought, but
he declared that if we were 10 retain
the islands because they were rich.
the war will 90 down as miserable and
degraded a one as ever disgraced the
history of the middle ages" The
whole truth of the matter i that while
Senator Beveridge j. brilliant orator,
he is radically wrong in the theory as
to the disposition of the Philippines,
and is so because of republican char
ity which recognizes duties to party
as loftier than the impulses of patri-
otism. and in the innocence of his
youth he has given away the true Sc
cret of why the administration has
been forced to adopt the imperialistic
policy with reference to the Philip
pines. That Senator Beveridge should
attribute to the Almighty the prompt
ness of the covetous and un-Ameri-
can spirit that is back of this whole
proceeding is the most amazing part

THE HEALTH HABIT

Just as Easy to Form as Any other.
We do not deliberately form our pet
habits bat they are unconsciously ac-
qured and grow as we grow, and by the
time we learn they are hurting us we
find them too strong to be easily bro
ken.
Then. why not form a good habit
habit which will counteract the many bad
ones. in other words contract the unfash
ionable habit Of being always we'll
The best health habit to get into is
to have and keep a 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 stom-
ach, without any assistance
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-
tives and when they are combined IN
such a pleasant preparation as Stuart S
Dyspepsia Tablets, they give the over
worked stomach just the necessary assls-
taNce to secure perfect digestion with
out any Of the harmful effects OF ca
thartics and similar drugs.
The habit of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after meals is as necessary to the
weak stomach as food itself and indeed
to get the benefit from food eaten, moth
ing better and certainly nothing safer can
be used.
Many families consider Stuart's Tablets
as essential in the house as knives and
forks.
They consist entirely of natural diges-
tive principles without the effect or char.
actefistics of drugs; they have no ca
thartic action, but simply go to work on
the food eaten and digest it.
Take into account your bad habits and
the expense they entail and then invest
fifty cents in box of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and see il your digestion for the
next month is not vastly improved.
Ask the clerk in any drug store the
name Of the most successful and popular
stomach remedy and he will say Stu
