Styles For The Winter.

The easiest and simplest way we
can suggest for our readers to get a
good idea of the styles that will be
popular this winter is to buy a copy
of The October Delineator, just on
sale at every news stand. The De-
lineator for October foreshadows, by
means of it's New York, Paris and
London connections those tendencies
of fashion that will certainly prevail.
In addition to the fashion features
and practical dressmaking advice that
has made The Delineator famous, the
October number is full of good gen
eral reading, most tastefuHy illus

Little is thought and less is known
by the average man concerning
the lives and aims Of the 400, 900
men and boys who deive under the
surface Of the earth in places of
darkness and danger, where hardly a
day goes by without recording the
death by falls Of rock, coal or slate
of more than one unfortunate miner.
An article on this subject at once
impartial and vitality interesting is
contributed to The Cosmopolitan for
October by John Mitchell, President
of the United Nine Workers OF
America, whom every one recalls as
the man who organized the miners
and carried through to a successful
termination the great anthracite strike
of 1900.

Brain-foOd Nonsense.

Another ridiculousfood fad has boon
branded by the most competent au-
1thorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind Of food is
needed for brain, another for muscles,
and still another for bones. A correct
diet will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but it will sustain
every other part. Yet, however good
your food may be, its,nutriment is des-
'troyed by indigestion or dyspepsia.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

Our good deeds slip away easily;
our sins ride US with whip and spur.
From youth we learn nothing about
age, buttfrom age we learn all we
know about youth.
A bachelor is one because he
could, but wouldn't: a maid because
she would but couldn't.
1t isn't any worse, but somehow it
always seems worse, to be half a liar
than half truthful.
Love that has to be carried in the
door with supporting arms can fit
out the window with its own wings.

AN EASY WAY
To Keep Wen

1t is easy TO keep we'll il we would only
observe each day few simple rules Of
health.
The all important thing is to keep the
stomach right and to do this IL is not
necessary to diet or follow set rule or
bill Of fare. Such pampering simply
makes capricious appetite and feeling
that certain articles Of food must be
avoided.
Prof, Wiechold gives pretty good
advice on this subject; he says: "I am
So years old and have never bad SER
ious illness, and at the same time my life
has been an indoor one, but 1 early dis.
covered that the way to keep healthy
was to keep healthy stomach, not by
eating bran crackers or dieting oil any
sort; on the contrary always eat what
my appetite Graves, but for the past
eight years have made it daily prac.
tice to take one or two Of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets after each meal and |
attribute my robust health for man Of
my age TO the regular daily use OF Stu
arts Tablets.
My physician fret advised me 10 use
them because he said they were perfect
ly harmless and were not secret patent
medicine, but contained only the natural
digestives, peptones and diastase, and
after using them a few weeks 1 have
never ceased to thank him for his ad
vice. NIT|
honestly believe the habit OF taking
stusrts Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is
the real health habit, because their use
brings health TO the sick and ailing and
preserves health TO the we'll and strong"
Men and women past fifty years OF age
need cafe digestive after meals TO in
sure perfect digestion aud to ward off
disease, and the safest, best known and
most widely used is Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. ,g
They are found in every wellregulated
household from Maine 20 California and
in Great Britain and Australia are rap
idly pushing their way into popular
favor.
All druggists cell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, full sized packages 80 cents and
for weak stomach a fifty cent package
will often do fifty dollars worth Of
good. 41.35.
