WHAT GOES UP

Nctilin: Is more certain than that the
SO OF .o-cnlled tones, stimuiants and
medicines, rrlca depend upon alcohol
for their effect. is injurious to health in
ghe lens run.
What goes up D.ust come down and the
levstisn of spirits, the temporary ex-
hilar1tien resulting from dose OF med
cine con, aiming alcohol will certainly pc
followed in teT hours by G correspond
ing depression to relieve which another
dose must be taken.
In other words. many liquid patent med
ticines de-iys their effect entirely from the
alcohol they contain.
Alcohol ana medicines containing it,
are temporary stir1ulants and not in any
sense true tenie. In fact, it is doubt
ful il any medicine or drug is r real

4 true tonic is something which will
renew, replenish, build UP the exhausted
nervous system and wasted tissues Of
he body, something that will enrich the
blood and endow it with the proper pro-
portions Of rcd and white cerpuscles.
which prevent or destroy disease germs.
This is what reel tonic should do and
no drug or alcoholic stirnulnnt will do it.
The enly true tonic in nature is whole
some food. thoroughly diEest.s. Evety
particle Of nervous energy. every minute
muscle fibre and drop Of blood Is created
daily from the food We digest
The mere eating Of food has little to
10 with the repair of waste tissue. but
the perfect digestion. Of the foed eaten
has everything te 80 with it.
Tho reason 5. few people have perfect
digestion is because from wrong habits
" living the stomach has gro dunlly lost
the power to secrets the gastric juice,
peptones ana acids In sufficient quantity
TO cure indigestion and stomach treu-
bles it is necessary to take after meals
-ome harmless preparation which will
supply. the natural peptone and diastase
which every weak stomach lacks, and
nrot1 b1y the best preparation Of this
character Is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
which may BE found i. every drug store

one or two Of these excellent tablets

INDIANAPOLIS, July 18.-A
rainstOrm that amounted to al
most cloudburst, accompanied
by terrific lightning and thunder
and a strong west wind, occurred
near the Warren township school
house, on the Greenfield electric
line, about four o'clock yesterday
afternoon. At least eight inches
of water fell and hundreds of
acres of corn are flooded so bad
ly that the yield will be very
small. The corn stood over four
feet and now it lies fat on the
ground. Unusually heavy rain
fell from Irvington to the school
house and the district is badly
flooded In many fields the water
stands four inches deep.

PRONUNCIATION OF NEW
POSTAL REGULATIONS.

WASHINGTON. d. c., July 49,
Third Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Madden has issued a circu-
lar notice to all pOstmasters call
ing special attention to the or
der making radical changes IN
the kind of publications allowed
admission as second-class mail
matter. 1t says that postmast-
ers may be held on their official
bonds for revenue lost to the de-
partment through improper ap-
plication or faulty administra-
ton of these regulations. The
pound rate of postage, it says, is
a special privilege at the public
expense, and the department
will restrict the privilege to
those publications which are
fairly within the contemplation
of law and properly meet the re-
quirement.
Owing to the material changes
of practice which will be neces-
sary by some publishers and news
agents, the department, where
it is inequitable, will not enforce
the new regulations Immediately
but in no case will extension of
time be granted beyond Oct. L,
1901. The excess of copies
printed of any publication CSC
per cent of the issue), over the
number necessary to supply the

OUR NAVY DEPARTMENT
BUYS DRY DOCK OF SPAIN
(TO BE CONTINUED.y

WASHINGTON, d. c.. July 49,.
The navy department has pur-
chased the big floating steel dry
dock. which lies in Havana har-
Dor. from the government of
Spain for S185, 900. The negotia
tions for the purchase of the
dock were closed by Commander
Lucien Young, captain of the
port at Havana. The original
price at which the dock was
offered by the Spanish govern
ment was $3.50, 1t is stated
by the chief naval constructor
that the dock has been in con
stant use.
Whether the dock will be al
lowed to remain where it is or
will be taken elsewhere is a mat
ter that has not yet been deter
mined. The Lemly board orig
inally reported that something
over 5000, 900 would be required
to put it in perfect condition.

sponge will remove those yellow streaks
that are footprints of the stock. Elbow
sleeves will add to the comfort of the
midsummer waist too.
