THE HEALTH HABIT
Just "A. Easy to Form as Any other.

We do not deliberately form our pet
| habits, but they are unconsciously &C
/ quired. and grow as we grow, and by the
time we learn they are hurting US, we
/ find them too strong TO be easily broken.
Then, why not form a good habit, a
habit which will counteract the many bad
| ones, in other words contract the Tn
fashionable habit of being always well.
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 stomach, with
out 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 digestives
and when they are combined in such a
pleasant preparation as Stuart's Dyspsp-
STA Tablets, they give the overworked
stomach just the necessary assistance to
secure perfect digestion without any of
the harmful effects of cathartics and sim
liar drugs.
The habit of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia
TOILETS 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 digestive
principles without the effect or character
istics of drugs they have no cathartic ac-
ton, but simply go to work on the food
eaten and digest 1t.
Take into account your bad habits and
the expense they entail. and then invest
fifty cents in box of Stuart's Dyspeo-
STA 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 Stuart's

ALBANY RESIDENCE BURNED.
MIR. ID. Neuman Suffers Heavy Loss,
Two Firemen Have Close Call
with Falling Tfmbers.

Albany. Ga, March 21.-The residence
of D. Neuman was destroyed by fire be-
tween and 4 o'clock this afternoon. The
building was one of largest dwellings in
the city. and high wind made it impos-
sible for the firemen to do effective work.
The loss is estimated by Mr.. Neuman
to be $500 on the dwelling and 5000 on
contents. The building was uninsured,
but the Greenwich had 5000 on furni-
ture.
Firemen Brosnan and Call nearly lost
their lives beneath failing timbers. They
were on a ladder with a nozzle, probably
twenty feet from the ground. Without
warning great mas sof burning timbers
fell upon them, breaking the ladder and
precipitating the iremen to the ground.
Through the prompt efforts of the by
ISLANDERS they were released before being
burned 10 death. Both were badly burned
about the face and hands. Their hips and
ankles were injured and their escape from
death was miraculous.
