Dr.. Kelley's Caustio RemarEs


DR.. D. C. Kelley, Presiding
Elder Of the Methodist Church,
and for years one Of the most
prominent ministers in this con-
ference, Sunday morning and even
ing at two Of the leading churches
in the city gave vent to caustic
criticism of the horse show recent
ly held in Nashville, and made
some rather sharp references to
the grand opera to be given this
week. He laid great stress on
what he considered the crying evil
of the times the thirst FOR en-
tertainment. He reviewed "Quo
Vadis'' at length and said this was
an example of what this consum-
ing thirst would finally lead to.
He thought horse shows, where
they are given as a means leading
to develop better animals, not so
bad, but severely criticised SO
called horse show, where the
horses are the smallest part of the
affair.

Among women friends:
writing an Al.

Did you ever stop TO think, you who
read the advertisement in the newspa-
pers, just what it means to get up the
lad" every day for big department
store? The man in charge usually has
a staff of assistants, who are assigned
to certain departments of the store
each day. They must familiarize them
selves with the stock of these depart
ments, while the manager of the adj
yertising department himself is sup
posed to keep thoroughly in touch
with the entire stock of the store. He
writes the general Introduction to the
advertisement each day and edits the
copy turned in to him by his assistants,
just as an editor handles the copy of
his reporters.
"Just as much care is taken with
this matter as though it were so much
imperishable literature" said the ad-
vertising manager of a big department
store "You sometimes hear of IA
nous author spending hours over one
paragraph, writing it and rewriting it
to get the best and strongest effect.
You wouldn't think that would be nee
essary in writing an advertisement,
but it is. My assistants sometimes
spend an hour over one sentence. There
is more science in writing an adver-
tisement that will bring results than
perhaps in any other form of compo-
on."-Philadelphia Record.

FATHER FINDS BOY
DEAD NEAR HIS HOME.

John Heath's body, frozen and
cramped, was found in the street in
front of the family residence in Anna
wan at 3 o'clock Saturday morning.
The discovery was made by his
father, Police Magistrate j. d Heath,
who had become worried over the
failure of his 14-year-old son to come
home, and started for town to make
inquiries.
A deep stab at the right side of the
neck passing through the juguIar
vein had caused death. That murder
had been done was the only conclu-
sion the people of Annawan would
draw during the greater part of the
day, but the reason for such crime
no one was able to give.
The discovery of a hayknife in
load of straw, which overturned in
the street Friday night. has given rise
to the theory that the boy accidentally
killed himself with it. This straw
pile was block away from the place
in which the body was found. The
boy is supposed to have jumped into
the straw, cut his throat on the half
concealed knife, and struggled on,
falling at the gate of his fathers
house. The coroner's jury adjourned
until Monday, being unable to secure
definite information of any kind.
Young Heath was of quiet. retir-
ing disposition. AS far as can be
learned he had no enemies. The lad
had gone out on the street after sup
per Friday, leaving no word as to
where he was going. For several
days he had been talking of going to
Kewanee to visit his married sister.
AS the hours went by the father be-
came worried, ard finally, with pre-
sentiment that something was wrong,
got up from bed, and decided to 60
out and look for the boy, and stum-
bled over his body.

Remedy Which Has RevoIutIonIzed the
Treatment of stomach Troubles.
The remedy is not heralded as
wonderful discovery nor yet secret
patent medicine. neither is it claimed
to cure anything except dyspepsia.
indigestion and stomach troubles
with which nine out of ten suffer.
The remedy is in the form of pleas
ant tasting tablets or lozenges. con-
tanning vegetable and fruit essences.
pure aseptic pepsin government
tesD, golden seal and diastase. The
tablets are sold by druggists under
the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's. Many interesting experiments
to test the digestive power of Stuart's
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
wholesome food.
Stuart's Tablets do not act upon
the bowels like after dinner pills and
cheap cathartics. which simply irri-
tate and intlame 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 it's 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 unknown 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 a digestive
pure and simple, because there can
be no stomach troubl if the food is
promptly digested.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act en-
tirely on the food eaten, digesting it
completely. so that it can be assim-
Hated into blood, nerve and tissue.
They cure dyspepsia. water brash.
sour stomach, gas and bloating after
meals, because they furnish the di-
gestive power which weak stomachs
lack, and unless that lack is supplied
it is useless to attempt to cure by the
use of ''tonics, pills. 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
better than all other argument.

said the best French farce that has
been produced in this country. 1t is
now in its third year in Paris and is
still playing to crowded houses. 1t
has been highly successful wherever
seen in this country, and has caused
no end of comment. The farce is
said to fairly bristle with all sorts OF
ludicrous matters and contains many
novel and ipgenius situations. The
story told is that of the unhappy adj
ventures of married man who,
going out on nightly ramble, makes
the acquaintance of a gay young
woman at Maxim's restaurant and
music hall. 1t is easy to imagine the
many complications and Imaginable
situations that would ensue. The big
