A MERITED SUCCESS.
Entcrtn inment for the Benefit of
Needy District Volunteers.

The entertainment given last night at
the Columbia Theatre under the auspices
of the National Guard of the District, for
the benefit OF needy members of the First
Regiment, District of Columbia Volun-
teers, and their families, was a decided
success. The boxes were occupied by Off
GERS of the National Guard in full dress
uniform, female members of their families,
and other lady friends.
On the left of the stage were the fol-
lowing members Of the honorary reception
committee of the Legion of Loyal Women:

Mische, Miss Lillian Calver. Miss Jennie
Thom,.so Miss Efie Bundick, Miss Caro-
line Osborn. and Miss Florence Zepp. On
the right was Commandant Haines of the
Washington Naval Reserves and the mem
bers of his staff.
The feature OF the entertainment was
the competitive drill by a squad composed
of two members from each of the compa-
ntcs of the First Regiment of the National
Guard. The drill was under the dir seton
of Lieut.. Sheridan Ferree, and the judges
were Major Jesse b. X. Lee, Capt. E. C.
Edwards, Ensign l.. c. Covell.
BY one, two, and three the competitors
were relocated to the rear for some slight
mistake until only three were left, two
white members and one colored. The next
command, however. sent the colored mil
itiaman to the rear, but he had hardly dis

AN OBJECT LESSON.
In n Resturant.

physician put the query: Have you
never noticed in any large restaurant at
lunch or dinner time the large number of
hearty, vigorous old men at the tables;
men whose ages run from 60 to so years;
many of them bald and all perhaps grey,
but none of them feeble or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is SO common as
to have escaped your observation or com
ment, but nevertheless it is an object
lesson which means something.
If you will notice what these hearty cid
fellows are eating you will observe that
they are not munching bran crackers nor
gingerly picking their way through menu
card of new tangled health foods; on the
contrary they seem to prefer a juicy roast
of beef, a properly turned loin of mutton,
and even the deadly broiled lobster 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 poIsOns
but these cadaverous sickly looking indl-
viduals are a walking condemnation of
their own theories.
The matter in nutshell is that if the
stomach secretos the natural digestive
juices in sufficient quantity any whole
some food will be promptly digested; If
the stomach does not do so, and certain
foods cause distress one or two of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal will
remove all difficulty because they supply
just what every weak stomach lacks, pep
sin, hydro chloric acid, distastes and nux.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not act
upon the bowels and in fact are not
strictly medicine. as they act almost en-
tirely upon the food eaten, digesting it
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 Tablets, knowing
them to be perfectly safe to use at any
time and also having found out by expe-
rience that they are a safeguard against
indigestion in any form, and eating as
they have to, at all hours and all kinds OF
food, the travelling public for years have
pinned their faith to Stuart's Tablets.
All druggists sell them at 80 cents for
full sized packages and any druggist from
Maine to California If his opinion were
asked, will say that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets is the most popular and success
ful remedy for any stomach trouble.

tric Car.
John Brooks, colored, thirty years of age,
died at the Emergency Hospital last night
as the result of injuries received by being
struck and run over by an electric car near
Hyattsville. Md, late Saturday night.
Brooks sustained fractures of both legs and
was otherwise mangled. He was brought
TO the city early yesterday morning, placed
at the hospital, and died from his injuries
The dead man was a laborer and resided
in Northeast Washington. He was near
Hyattsville, where he had been visiting
friends, and is believed TO have walked
along the track in the direction of the city
when he was struck. II was the last car
which left Washington Saturday night, on
the Hyattsyille branch Of the City and
Suburban Railway which struck Brooks, and
he was mt picked up until early yesterday
