a SOUR STOMACH
l. Often the Real Cause of a Sour
Temper.

That the condition of the digestive or
gans has a marked effect upon the char
acter or disposition is q truism as old as
| the hills. Old Ben Johnson wisely said
s.tIe pleasure of living depends upon the
liver and it IS a fact which none may
dispute that a sunny disposition more
often results from healthy digestion
than from any other cause.
Acid dyspepsia, commonly called sour
stomach or heartburn, IS caused by slow
| digestion of food; instead of being
promptly digested and converted into
blood. bone and muscle, it lies in the
stomach for hours, fermenting and de-
caying. creating gases which cause pres
sure on the lungs and heart. short
breath and general discomfort and irrl-
tatiOn.
Such half digested food is indeed poor
nourishment for the body. brain and
nerves and the result is shown in irrita-
BILE tempers, unaccountable headaches
and that depressing condition usually
called the blues but how quickly al
these disappear when appetite and di
gestion are restored.
Laxative medicines only irritate the
already irritated stomach and bowels
and have no effect upon actual digestion
Of food
The sensible course to follow is to
make use of simple natural digestive
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
meals until the stomach has a chance to
recuperate-
The natural digestives which every
dastaste and Hydrochloric and Tactic ac-
ids and when any of them are lackirg
the trouble begins; the reason Stuart's
dyspepsia Tablets are 50 valuable ant
successful in curing stomach troubles is
because they contain, in q pleasant co..
contrated tablet form all these absolute
" necessary essentials for perfect diges-
tian and assimilation of food
Henry kirkpatrick of Lawrence, Mass
says. Men and women whose occupa-
tion precludes an active out door life
should make it a daily practice to use
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals

from stomach weakness. I had no appa-
tite whatever for breakfast and very
little for any other meal.
II had acidity and heartburn nearly
every day and sometimes was alarmed
by irregularity and palpitation Of the
heart, but all this gradually disappeared
after I began using Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and can eat my meals with

known since was growing boy.
The success and popularity Of Stuartfs
Dyspepsia Tablets is enormous. but it
deserved, and every druggist in the Uni
ted States Canada and Great Britain
has a good word for this meritorous pre-
paration.

DOG HUNTED FOR BRICKS.

TF'rom the New York Times
Pete, otherwise know as the brick
dog. Is dead He was owned BY Henry
g. Hermann, OF so Greenville avenue,
Jersey City Pete was as familiar a
figure throughout the GFeenyiIle dis
trict as was his master He was a little
dog and his pedigree was haxy, but he
was great favorite. especially with
children, who were content TO take
Pete" as they found him. without re-
gard to his ancestry. They generally
found him affable and glad to Wag his
tail in response to the boyish greetings
that met him at every turn.
Pete got his second title, the brick
dog" from his fondness for bricks.
What the attraction about baked clay
may be no one could tell, but whenever
Pete found a brick anywhere he
picked it up and carried it home, care
fully depositing it in the yard at the
which the brick was found made no dif-
ference to Pete A city block or a.
mile was all one to him. Tt was only
when the boys tried to take a brick from
Pete that he ever showed his teeth.
When he first tried to carry brick it
was hard work, but in course Of time his
mouth developed to suit the cIrcum-
stances and of late years it IS said that
Pete could have swallowed a. brick
had he been SO disposed
Mr.. Hermann first discovered "Pete's''
love for bricks about ten years ago. He
found several bricks in the yard and

The next morning they were back in
the yard again. He threw them out
again and then watched until he saw
Pete lug one of the bricks into the
yard He hunted for bricks as other
dogs might for game, and on one occa-

from Bayonne to his home, a distance
of three miles When the bricks be
came sufficiently numerous Mr.. Hermann
utilized them in constructing q brick
walk through his yard. He also sup
piled bricks to his neighbors for the
same purpose.
tsPete's'' queer taste had nothing to do
with his demise. He died from general
debility. incident to old age, having
rounded out his twentieth year, which,
experts of Greenville say, is about five
years beyond a dogs allotted age Mr..
Hermann gave Pete what one of his
boy neighbors called q Christian burial,
at the rear of his home, and tsPetefs"

lately made by western railroad officials
that business would continue as heavy

earnings, as compared with November.

were curtailed and every effort made to
close the year with as good a showing as
possible, the decrease is taken as an indi-
