IT IS TIE WAY YOU USE 1T.

It's the Method Employed Which Makes
Success or Failure
One man with ZEN, ink and paper can
produce landscape another man with
same pen and ink may not be able to
write his own name legibly 1t is all in
knowing how.
1t is equally true in the use of modi-
cnes. The same remedies we have to-
day have existed for thousands of years,
but if their existence was known the
knowledge CT how to use them was lack
ing.
They became valuable to the human
race only when experiment and science
showed the way to use them TO get re-
suits.
The grip is an old disease with a new
name; it is really catarrhal in character
and the usual symptoms are those CT
acute catarrh. but the old time catarrh
powders, salves and sprays dc not cure
it, neither does the application of an
tiseptics through an inhaler give any
thing more than relief for a short time.
The antiseptics are all right; they will
kill the germs of catarrh and grip if they
are applied rightly but their local ap-
plicaticn to the nose and throat avail lit
tie because the germs are in the blood
and through the whole system.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain many
CT these same Gntiseptics, that are used
in sprays and inhalers, but instead of ap-
plying them to the inflamed membranes
o fthe nose and throat, they are taken
into the stomach and thus reach the blood
the real seat of the disease and drive out
the infectious germs through he natural
channels of the bowels and kidneys
In other words Stuarts Catarrh Tablets
reach the cause of the mischief instead OF
merely LEGAL symptoms.
The remarkable success of these tablets
IN curing grip catarrh and throat and
lung troubles is because they drive the
catarrhal poison from the system and
tn enose and throat become clear of the
excessive secretion of mucus, which
causes thehawking splitting and gagging
because the secretion is net supplied from
healthy blood.
Two years ago. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
were unknown but today have become SC
popular through positive merit that drug
gists everywhere in the Unlted States

passed the Moscow gate this morning on
the way to Tsarskoe- Selo, seventeen miles
south of st. Petersburg, to which the
Gar has just removed. The police said
they would escort the Car back to the
Winter Palace and that he would return
by carriage instead of by rail- 1t appears
more probable, however, that the Cos
sacks were merely sent to Tsarskoe-
Selo as precaution, since Mis- Majesty
is more easily protected there than here.
1t is apparently confirmed that three
students were killed yesterday. The
Cossaeks rode into the crowds on the
sidewalk, and many face were cut open
by their knotted whips. Students and
working men threw rubber shoes, canes,
and snow balls at the Cossacks. 1t is re-
ported that one Cossacl1 was killed.
An official of the political police said
a thousand prisoners were taken, among
them being three hundred and fifty wo-
men students. The presence of working
men among the rioters rendered this
demonstration more dangerous than any
known in a generation.
After reading the manifesto the stu
dents threw their crumpled copies into
the crowd and raised a flag inscribed
For Liberty" The students also shout
ed Help Us get our rights" and the mob
responded with cheers.

THE HEALTH HABIT.
Just as Easy to Fo,m as Any other.

We do not deliberately form our pet
habits but they are Unconsciously ac-
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.
Tnen why not form a good habit, a
habit which will conteract the many
bad ones, in other words contract the
unfashionable habit Of being always
well.
The best health halit to get into is
to have and keep a Vigorous stomach;
if you have healthy digestion you can
drink your beloved coffee, smoke your
favorite brand of tobacco, with little or
no harm; the miscf.ef begins when
these things are forced upon the faith
ful stomach, without any assistance.
Form the habit of taking after heals
some harmless but efficient digestive
which will relieve the stomach of so
much extra work.
Nature furnishes US with such digest
ives and when they are combined in
such a pleasant prepal alton as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, they give the over
worked stomach just the necessary as
sistance to secure perfect digestion
without any of the harmful effects of
cathartics and similar drugs
The habit of taking Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets after meals is as necessary
to the weak stomach as food itself, and
indeed to get the benefit from food
eaten, nothing better and certainly
nothing safer can be used.
Many families consider Stuart's Tab
let's as essential in thu house as knives
| and forks.
They consist entirely of natural di-
gestive principles without the effect
or characteristics of drugs; they have
no cathartic action, but simply go to
work on the food eaton and digest it.
Take into account had habits and the
expense they entail end then invest
fifty cents in box Of Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets and see lf your digestion for
the next month is not vastly improved.
As the clerk in any drug store the
| name of the most successful and popu-
lar stomach remedy and he will say

STRIKE OF cLoAKMAXsRs.
Threatened in the Event That the Cutting of
Prices Continues.
(By the Associated Press.) }

(By the Associated Press.)
New York, March 19.-The Times will
say tomorrow:
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Brotherhood of Cloakmakers passed a res
olution last spring TO the effect that
there would be no strikes for q year
it was said yesterday that a general
strike involving from 10000 to $4,000
clcakmakers is pending.
'tThe executive committee of the union
stated yesterday that the manufacturers
took advantage of the anti-strike resolu-
tion and believing the cloakmakers would
not strike have been cutting down prices.
Several small strikers took place without
the authority of the union and more cut
ting of prices followed. Finally the exec
utive committee decided to ignore the
anti-strike resolution if the schedule Of
wages which is now being prepared for
the late spring and summer trade is re-
fused by the employees and the scale will
be enforced by the first general strike
OF cloalsmakers in case, as is expected,
it is refused. .

The renort that a heavy draft OF the

TIE ELECTION BILL D2AGs.

Annapolis, Md. March 19.-Very lit
tie progress was made with the election
bill in either branch Of the General
Assembly today, although both had it
under consideration. IN the House the
bill originally introduced in the Senate
was discussed, the Republicans filibus-
tering to prevent its passage and the
Democrats showing 40 inclination ID
force matters. The word has evidently
been passed along that the House is to
wait until the Senate gives the mat
ter further consideration. 1t is now
said to be the program of the Demo-
cratic leaders to have the Senate pass
the bill originally adopted by the
House together With all the amend
ments thus far made IN either branch,
and send it to the Governor for his sig
nature letting the original Senate bill
die on the files. This will necessitate
another consideration OF the bill in the
