COLLEGE SPORTS.
President Eliot Commends Nature
Of Athletic Work at Harvard

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 30--The APP
pearance OF the annual report of Presi-
dent Eliot Of Harvard university last
night at once awakened interest in
what comment he would make on col
legiate athletics. in view of pleas for
an Improvement in sport, IN previous
reports Less space than usual IS de-
voted to athletics and the general tone
is commendat tory.
President Eliot said IN part.
The American colleges seem to be
gradually learning how to conduct am
atAur sports in a reputable manner
Harvard university has had its full
share OF the difficulties during the past
thirty years; but it has at last found
a way to satisfactory conclusion for a.
committee to regulate athletic sports.
This committee has been initiated in
other institutions and its work had
gradually found acceptance both among
the under graduates ana the graduates
OF Harvard university. Thus the rules
governing eligibility which were work ed
out by the Harvard committee have
proved acceptable IN other fustitu-

THE ROOT OF THE MATTER.
He Cured Himself of Serious Stomach
Trouble Down to First Principles.

A man OF large affairs in one OF our
prominent eastern cities by too close
attention to business. too little exercise
and too many club dinners. finally be
gan TO pay natures tax, levied in the
form of chronic stomach trouble. the
failure Of his digestion brought about a
nervous irritability making it impossible
to apply himself to his daily business
and finally deranging the kidneys and
heart
In his own words he says: II con-
suited one physician after another and
each one seemed to understand my
case, but ali the same they each failed
to bring about the return Of my former
digestion, appetite and vigcF- For two
years 7 went from pillar to post, from

but without any marked iuprOye ment-
Friends had often advised me to try
a well known proprietary medicine.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and I had
often perused the newspaper advertise
ments Of the remedy but never took any
stock in advertised medicines nor could
believe a fifty-cent patent medicine
would touch nay case
ITO make a long story short I finally
bought a couple Of packages at the
nearest drug store and took two or
three tablets after each meal and occa-
sfonaly a tablet between meals. when
T felt any feeling of nausea or discom-
fort

ment in my appetite and general health
and before the two packages were gone
I was certain that Stuartts Dyspepsia
Tablets was going TO cure completely
and they did not disappoint me can
eat and sleep and enjoy my coffee and
cigar and no one would suppose had
ever known the horrors or dyspepsia.
s.Cut Of friendly curiosity I wrote TO
the proprietors Of the remedy asking
for information as to what the tablets
contained and they replied that the
principal ingredients were aseptic pep
sin government test@. malt diastase and
other natural dIgestives which digest
food regardless Of the condition Of the
stomach
The root Of the matter is this. the d.
gestive elements contained in Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food
to recuperate and the nerves and whole
system receive the nOurishnent which
can only come from food. stimulants
and nerve tonfcz never give real
strength. they give a fictitious strength
invariably followed by reaction. Every
drop Of blood every nerve and tissue
IS manufactured from our daily food
and if you can insure its prompt action
and complete digestion by the regular
as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. you win
have no need Of nerve tonfcs and sanf-
tariuus
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have been in the market only a few
years yet probably every druggist IN
the United States, Canada and Great
Britain now sells them and consider
them the most popular and successful
Of any preparation for stomach troubles.
