OF Ewes maternity the record
gives no sign beyond the birth of
her three sons, and the indefinite
sssons and daughters" while 81,
shared the intolerable length of
Adams ife-93O years. The story
of Cain and Abel reflects the riv-
alries of early agricu ,tural ind no.
madic life. It has been left to mod
ern art to bring forth the mystery
of the first death shifting ON the
maternal heart. Eve, with the dead
Abel lying cold and still across her
knees, is one OF the most beautiful
pieces of sculpture in our Metropo-
Titan museum. 1t is not the less
beautiful because it represents a uni
versal mystery, involving the last
mother whose son is dead equally
with the first. For who is yet so
wise as to understand clearly and
fully what death means?
The heart of Ewes pathetic story,
for those endeavoring to make it
yield some mortal lesson, is the
power for bane or blessing which
the woman has over the mans life.
She falls and he with her. Eve has
many names in literature. Lady
Macbeth is one of them; Rosamond
Vincy is another. She has many
names in the workaday world, in
which the average man and woman
choose the worse or better part.

THE IDOL OF THE TURF.
The Most Popular Jockey in America
and England Recommends Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.

No jockey has ever appealed so strongly
TO public favor as Tod Sloan.
He has achieved more than his most
noted predecessors ever attempted and
stands in a class by himself.
Not satisfied with his success in his
native country, he went to England and
now his fame as a successful horseman
is on the tip Of every tongue not only in
this country and England, but in every
section of the globe where racing has
found favor
When Tod first went to England his re-
merity was openly laughted at. but the
little American played skittles with his
English rivals and his victories made all
England gasp.
Having the stamp of royal approval. So
ciety both at home and abroad 'lionize''
him and he is feted and petted to an ex-
tent that would turn an ordinary mortars
head.
The great jockey was in such demand
socially and dined and wined to such an
extent that it was feared his health would
give way. Too much society and the
nervous strain of racing told on him.
A two weeks trip to America made him
acquainted with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's and their remarkably restorative
effects on a depleted digestive apparatus
and he recommended them in unstinted
terms to a friend saying: ''Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are the best thing I know
of for keeping the stomach IN condition
and appetite in good repair
Thousands of former dysDsptics can
vouch for the truth of Tod Sloan's words,
as "Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have be-
come a household word in America, and
few families are without them. One or
two taken after meals keep the stomach
sweet by causing prompt and healthy di-
gestion of the food
Perfectly healthy people use them after
heavy dinners to keep their good health
and to make sure that no i'll effects will
follow an unusually hearty meal.
Your druggist will tell you or your doc
tor either that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets are composed only of digestive fer
ments, Asceptic Pepsin, Hydrastis. fruit
acids. etc, and for the strong stomach
as we'll as the most delicate, constitute
a safeguard against Indigestion and
stomach troubles
