AMUSEMENT

When such cities as Boston. Baltimore and Cincinnati join New York city in unqualified approval of things musical, the conclusion drawn is that there must be merit behind such uniform opinion
 Boston rose to its feet and cheered for five minutes, and Baltimore regrets that she cannot have a return date And now comes news that Cincinnati gave Winder- stein an ovation at the end of the Beeth- oven c minor symphony, and wishes an- other engagement. Birmingham there- fore is on the qui vive, in expectation of the pleasure that the two performances on tomorrow will bring our public. The orchestra will arrive in the city from At

AN EASY WAY
To Keep We'll.

It Is easy to keep well If we would only observe each day a few simple rules of health.
 The all important thing is to keep the stomach right, and to do this 1t is not necessary to diet or to follow set rule on bill of fare. Such pampering simply makes a capricious appetite and feel ing that certain favorite articles of food must be avoided.
 Prof Wiechold gives pretty good advice on this subject: he says: ''I am 6S years old and have never had serious illness, and at the same time my life has been largely an indoor one, but I early dis covered that the way to keep healthy was to keep a healthy stomach, not by eating bran crackers or dieting of any sort; on the contrary, ! always eat what my appetite craves, but for the past eight years I have made 1t a daily prae- tice to take one or two of Stuarts Dys- pepsla Tablets after each meal and at tribute my robust health for man or my age to the regular daily use of Stu arts Tablets.
 My physician first advised me to use them because he said they were perfect ly harmless and were not a secret patent medicine, but contained only the natural digestive peptones and diastase, and af ter using them a few weeks l have never ceased to thank him for his advice.
 I honestly believe the habit of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is the real health habit because their use brings health to the sick and ailing and preserves health to the well and strong"
 Men and women past fifty years of age need a safe digestive after meals to in- sure a perfect digestion and to ward off disease, and the safest, best known and most widely used Is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
 They are found in every well regulated household from Maine to California and in Great Britain and Australia are rap idly pushing their way into popular favor.
 All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. full sized packages, at 50 cents and for weak stomach tifty-cent pack good.

DEAD WOMAN INDICTED.
Charged With Conspiring to Defraud
 Life Insurance Companies.

Chicago, March 26.-The grand jury to- day returned an indictment charging con- spiracy against Miss Marie Defenbach. a young woman who has been dead for months. Miss Defenbach came to her death mysteriously in connection with an alleged scheme to swindle life insurance companies in which Wailand Brown, for merrly superintendent of a well-known detective agency, is charged with being implicated.
 The unusual procedure of indicting q dead person was to have her mentioned as a eonspirator in order that certain ev- idence concerning the conspiracy may be introduced at the trial. Miss Defenbach the evidence shows. was interested in the conspiracy. Now the indictments were against F. Wailand Brown, Dr, A. M Unger and Frank H. Smiley, the old mem bers of the alleged conspiracy.

 The Great Educator.
 Books are of course. Indispensable; but much of the time they are upon the shelf It is not the book on the shelf, but the newspaper in his hand, that in- fluences a man. There Is no branch of art, science. religion, philosophy or his tory that is not compassed in the daily newspaper. One must be genius of stu pidity if he does not become informed and educated with such advantages. It is a mistake to think that newspaper knowledge is ephemeral; rather is 1t a perennial fountain of Information upon the current events and mighty thoughts of the time.
 Some great moral catastrophe, a good man gone wrong. a man supposed to be pure and unstained, suddenly develops into a scoundrel, all this recorded in the daily press but goes to argue that in iquity doesn't pay; that virtue Is not only right but profitable; that sooner or later tho scoundrel comes to shipwreck.
 "The newspapers a man reads are an index to his character. No man ever continuously read a good newspaper without becoming a better man, and the reverse is true. Of the many indices of character that are providentially given, such as countenance, associates, phre- nology, gesture, gait, none gives a truer estimate of the real man than his book shelf or his newspaper stand"

REBUILD The KIDNEYS.

Any kidney or bladder trouble is a
serious one and should have early and
right attention. The kidneys are slow
toyield to disease and when they do,
oyerwork is the usual cause. An ar
fected kidney is an exhausted one,
impure blood has weakened it; the
reD .edy needed is one that viii restore
strength and rebuild the Kidney itself,
This DR.. Hartr's Iron Tonic will do. It
has been doing 1t for forty-fve years
and no other remedy has ever been
held in such universal favor
The kidneys filter impurities out Of
the blood When the blood is bad the
kidneys get clogged with these pois-
ons. Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic cures by
these organs more strength ana ac-
neutrahzing the impurities, by hascen-
ing their expulsion, by building up the
tissues of the kidneys, and by giving
tivity. While it Is curing kidney and
urinary troubles II is also repairing all
the delicate machinery of the body.
This is the best OF all tonicS. II
does everything that any ordinary ton
ic can do and very many important
things that other remedies cannot do.
Nor can it do anything but good; It is
absolutely harmless, and can be given
to support the strength and to hasten
the cure OF any invalid, young or old.
Ordinary iron sometimes harms, but
the iron in Harter's Tonic is in such
form that it does no harm. 1t enriches
the blood, strengthens the stomach,
and aids digestion. Made by DR.. Hart
er Medicine Co., Dayton Ohio. Sold
