Women Who Order Dinners

There is one occupation in which women are engaged that probably the men will not crticise as being unwomanly, since 1t Is a new sub-industry in the ordering of dim ners-a subject that interests all men, and which they think should interest all wo- men, As long as women occupy themselves with ordering good dinners, the men will cease criticisng them as being out of wo- mans sphere. It is such a practical way for a woman to earn her own livelihood that the following interview with a New York woman, in which she tells the story of her success. will be suggestive to the woman who has the qualities required in the shopping agent:
 said. Tn fact, if I accepted a new client, I would be compelled to give up an old one on account of my time. It is good trade, but it Is not as simple as 1t seems. l col lect the excellent little receipt books which are distributed by food manufacturers, and also the price lists of the leading depart ment store markets and groceries. The price lists I leave with my clients and I keep a copy myself, but I generally can quote every item from memory. In the morning I rise early and read bargain-sale notices in the papers, and then start off to call upon my customers. Each gives me a lot of orders. Occasionally she has a din- ner party, reception, or doeS preserving or piclsling-then the order is much larger. talk fast and travel fast, so as to reach the stores in time for their first or second delivery by the store wagons. For my work receive commission of per cent upon my purchases. My customers find they say, that the commission Is much less than the difference between what I secure their goods for and what they would pay themselves at the smaller stores. Occa- r then I make an additional profit for myself I once attended an auction and bought sev- eral hundred cans of vegetables and meats at about 20 cents on the dollar, which I sold to my customers at 80 cents on the dollar. Another time I secured a lot of first-class homemade preserves in glass jars. My business is strictly cash, as I could not afford to take the risk of carry ing large accounts for all my consumers. It is an education to me, as nearly every one of my patrons now and then hears of some odd dish which she wishes to try.

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
A Remedy Which Has RevoIutionized the Treatment of Stomach Troubles.

The remedy is not heralded as a wonder full discovery nor yet a secret patent medi- cine, neither 1t is claimed to cure anything except dyspepsia, indigestion and stomach troubles, with which nine out of ten suffer
 The remedy Is in the form of pleasant tasting tablets or lozenges, containing ves- etable and fruit essences, pure aseptic pep sin Government test, golden seal and di- astase. The tablets are sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets. Many interesting experiments to test the digestive power of Stuart's Tablets show that grain of the active principle contained in them is sufficient to thor oughly digest 5000 grains of raw meat, eggs and other wholesome food.
 Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the bowels like after-dinner pills and cheap ca thartics, which simply irritate and inf1ame the intestines without having any effect whatever in digesting food curing indi- gestion.
 If the stomach can be rested and assisted in the work of digestion it will very soon recover it's normal vigor, as no organ is so much abused and overworked as the stomach.
 This is the secret, if there is any secret, of the remarkable success of Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets, a remedy practically un- known few years ago and now the most widely known of any treatment for stomach weakness.
 This success has been secured entirely upon it's merits as a digestive pure and simple, because there can be no stomach trouble if the food is properly digested.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act entirely on the food eaten, digesting it completely, so that 1t can be assimilated into blood, nerve and tissue. They cure dyspepsia, water brash, sour stomach, gas and bloat- ing after meals, because they furnish the digestive power which weak stomaohs lack. and unless that lack is supplied it is use- less to attempt to cure by the of "tonics" ''pills'' and cathartics which have absolutely no digestive power. Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets can be found at all drug stores, and the regular use of one or two of them after meals will demon strate their merit better than any other argument
