CHOCOLATE FIENDs.

to This Nerve Soothing Food.
1.-The manufacture of chocolate" said
7. Il. Anso of Brazil, lis great indus
try. OF all the chocolate beams import
cd into the United States two-thirds go
to one firm in Boston. and the other
third is distributed among the other
manufacturers. The chocolates sold
are of various grades. The Caracas
chocolate is supposed to be the best.
IF you take the various grades, tech
nically known as the Caracas, the
French, the German and SO on, and
take piece of each and place them in
pan of water and allow them to dis
solve. any expert Will tell you which is
the best chocolate. The better grades
will leave no sediment. The others
will. This is explained by the fact
that in the cheaper grades the shell is
ground up and used as a filler The
lighter the chocolate the better the
grade. The cheaper grades are dark
owing to the ground up shell.
sit is a queer thing about chocolate
consumption. There are chocolate
fiends, just as there are opium fiends,
tobacco slaves and liquor slaves.
cannot tell you why it is, but if people
begin to eat chocolate the habit grows
upon them. | don't think any amount
! of chocolate hurts any person OF
course the cheaper grades of chocolate
have a large percentage of sugar in
them. and sugar is to Il certain cx-
tent injurious. but for the chocolate
itself 1 don't think any one cats
enough to hurt him materially. In
, contradistinction to the exhilaration of
alcoholic drinks chocolate seems to be
soother. Persons who are nervous
and irritable find it Il food that in a
way Gains and soothes and satisfies

creasing enormously in the United

STRANGER THAN FICTION
Remedy Which Has kevolutlonized the

Remedy which Has kevoIutIonized the

The remedy is not heralded as

indigestion and stomach troubles
with which nine out of ten suffer.
The remedy is in the form of pleas

tablets are sold by druggists under
the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab

to test the digestive power of Stuart 8
Tablets show that one grain of the
active principle contained in them is
sufficient to thoroughly digest 5000
grains of raw meat. eggs and other
" holesome food.
Stuart's Tablets do not act upon
the bowels like after dinner pills and
cheap cathartics, which simply irri-
| tate and infiame the intestines with
out having any effect whatever in
digesting food or curing indigestion.
If the stomach can be rested and
assisted in the work of digestion it
will very soon recover its 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 Dyspepsia Tablets, remedy
practically unkno wn a few years ago
and now the most widely known OF
any treatment for stomach weakness.
This success has been secured en-
tirely upon its merits as digestive
pure and simple. because there can
be no stomach trouble if the food is
promptly digested.
Stuartls Dyspepsia Tablets act en-
tirely on the food eaten, digesting it
com pletely. so that it can be assim-

They cure dyspepsia. water brash.

lack, and unless that lack is supplied
it is useless to attempt to cure by the
use of ''tonics." ''pils" and cathartics
which have absolutely no digestive
power.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
found at all drug stores and the regu.
lar use of one or two of them after
meals will demonstrate their merit

Senators are much amused at semi
official statement that has come from
the state department, denying that ne
gotiations had been opened with Eng
land for new Isthmian Canal treaty,
and purporting to tell why no negotia-
tions were under way. The reason
given in this statement is that Secre-
tary Hay has not yet ascertained what
sort Of q treaty two-thirds OF the senate
would be willing to vote for. 1t is
perfectly true that no negotiations have
been started with England for a new
treaty, but the reason given is only
half true. If Secretary Hay has not
been able to ascertain what sort Of o
treaty -thirdssof the senate will vote
for, he has been very plainly given to
understand what sort Of a treaty two
thirds Of the senate will vote against or
amend, and the information is strik.
ingly near to what Senator Morgan said
on the floor Of the senate, just before
congress adjourned, that Mr.. McKin-
ley would find ont that he could not
get two thirds Of the senate to agree to
any treaty less strongly pronounced in
favor Of American rights than the
amended Hay Pauncefote treaty, which
England would not have. That is the
real real reason why there have been
no negotiations.

Although the war department has
tried to pooh poop the reports Of extern
sive frauds in the commissary depart
ment at Manila, the official action of
Secretary Root in increasing the force
Of officers in the inspector generals de-
partment in the Philippines, is an ac-
acknowledgement of the truth Of the pub
listled stories. 1t is stated at the war
department that the system of inspec-
ton in the Philippines has been very
lax because sufficient number3of Off
GERS had not been detailed for that pur'
pose, and that in consequence there
has been o number of cases OF petty
frauds in both the commissary and
quarterm sster's departments. 1t is now
known that these frauds have been SO
numerous for some time that it has been
found necessary to establish a sort OF
secret service to watch for them. There
has been only one officer-Col. Jarling-
ton-on strictly inspection duty in the
Philippines, aud he has only recentl
