AN EASY WAY
To keen Well.

1t is easy to keep well if we would only
observe each day a few simple rules OF
health
The aIl-important thing is to keep the
stomach right. and to do this il is not
necessary to diet or 10 follow a set rule
or bill of fare. Such pampering simply
makes a capriciOuS appetite and "a feeling
that certain fayorite articles of food must
be avoided
Prof. Wicchold gives pretty good advice
on this subject. He says: Il am sixty
eight years old and have never had a Sc
rious Illness, and at the same time my
life has been largely an indoor one, but
early discovered that the way to keep
healthy was to keep Il healthy stomach,
not by eating bran crackers or dieting of
any sort on the contrary, ! always eat
what my appetite Graves, but for the past
eight years have made il a daily prac-
tice TO take one or two Of Suuarts DyS-
pepSia Tablets after each meal. and at
tribute my robust health for "A mau of
my age to the regular daily use Of Stu
arts Tablets.
MY physician first advised me to use
them because he said they were perfectly
harmless and were not Il secret patent
medicine, but contained only the natural
digestives, peptones ana dfastase, and
after using them a few weeks ! have
never ceased TO thank him for his advice.
u honestly believe the habit of taking
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is
the real health habit, because their use
brings health To the sick and aiiing and
preserves health to the well and strong

SMALLPOX TRACED TO RAwLs.
Another Victim oF Exposure at
Frce;Imcn's Hospital.

Another case Of smallpox has been
traced to the presence of the colored man
Rawis, who was confined for two or
three days in one of the big wards of
Freedmens Hospital. Walter Jones was
confined there at the time, but was dis
charged before Rawls was removed. He
was found yesterday suffering with the
disease at lUl X Street southwest and was
removed to the smallpox hospital The
house was placed under quarantine.
one OF the precautions taken by the
Health Department when il was learned
that Rawls had been in the ward at the
hospital with other persons was TO take
the names of all who had been in the hos
pital at the time and to keep watch over
them. This was tho manner in which
Jones was kept track of and removed to
the hospital as soon as lie showed signs
of the attack.

different quality and manufacture
from that Of the ordinary foil The
sheets for this work are spun on a
lathe from a mixture Of lead and
tin. There Is more lead in this foil
than in the finer quality for general
use. The foil is thicker and coarssr,
and as 1t never comes in contact with
the contents of the bottle the amount
of lead in it is immaterial from this
consumers point of view. The thick
ness of the tinfoil in common use runs
from one-half of one-thousandth Of
an inch up to almost any thickness
required by special trades. The thin
ner the foil is rolled or spun the more
expensive it is. The foil is rolled
usually in sheets so feet in length
and in varying widths. Some ma
chimes are made to roll it 12 inches
wide. but most of them have only
half this width, as trade demands
favor he narrower widths. After the
sheets are rolled they are stamped,
printed, and embossed in suitable
sizes and patterns, and then cut up
in lengths desired. Millions Of
pounds are required for the trade in
this country, and the market price
runs from rs cents per pound for the
handsome embossed and laequered
foil down to few cents pound for
the cheaper grades.-G. E. w., in the
Scientific American.
