THE HEALTH HABIT
just as Easy to Form as Any othc

just as Easy TO Form as Any Other
We do not deliberately form our pet
habits, but they are uuconsciously &C
Guired, and grow as we grow, ana by the
time we learn they are hurting us, We
find them too strong to DE easily broken
Then, why not form a good habit, a
habit which Will counterfeit the many bad
ones, In other words counteract the I'M
fashionable habit of being always WE'LL
The best health habit to get :nto is to
have and keep a vigorous stomach; if you
have a healthy digestion you can drink
your beloved coffee, smoke your favorite
brand of tobacco, with little or no harm;
the mischief begins when these things
are forced upon the faithful stoma ch
without any assistance.
Form the habit OF taking after meals
some harmless but efficient digestive
which will relieve the stomach of so much
extra work.
Nature furnishes us with such diges-
tives and when they are combined in such
a pleasant preparation as Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets, they give the overworked
stomach just the necessary assistance to
secure perfect digestion without any Of
the harmful effects of cathartics and
similar drugs.
The habit of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after meals is as necessary to
the weak stomach as food itself, and in
deed to set the benefit from food eaten
nothing better and certainly nothing safer
can be used.
Many families consider Stuart's Tab
lets as essential in the house as knives
and forks.
They consist entirely of natural diges-
tive principles without the effect or char
acteristics of drugs: they have no cathar-
tic action. but simply go to work on the
food eaten and digest it,
Take into account your bad habits and
the expense they entail and then invest
fifty cents in a box Of Stuarts Dyspep-
STA Tablets and see If your digestion for
the next month is not vastly improved
Ask the clerk in any drug store the
name of the most successful and popu-
lar stomach remedy and he will say

COM'DR. WAINWRIGHT TESTIFIES.
Utterly Disoredits The Work OF The Board
Of Navigators- Lieutenant M. L.
Bristol's Testimony.

AS briefly stated in yesterdays CAPI-
tai, Commander Wainwright was one OF
the two new witnesses yesterday before
the Schley Court of Inquiry in Washing
ton, the other was Lieut.. NJ. L. Bristol,
who, as an ensign, was watch and
division officer on the battleship Texas
during the battle OF Santiago.
Lieutenant Bristol had not concluded
his testimony when the court adjourned
tor the day. He did not see the loop
made by the Brooklyn, the greater part
of his testimony turning upon chart he
had made showing. largely according to
his memory, the positions OF the various
ships OF the American fleet at different
times during the engagement of July 3.
There were several spirited controversies
between counsel over questions asked the
witness by Mr.. Rayner concerning this
chart. Commander Wainwright S testi-
mony dealt largely with chartmaking.
Commander Richard Wainwright, now
superintendent of the Naval Academy,
who commanded the Gloucester during
the Santiago campaign, was put on the
stand to testify TO the accuracy OF the
chart Of the positions of the United States
vessels on July 3, 1898, as prepared by
Board of Navigators. Commander Vain
wright testified that none OF the navigator
members of the board believed the chart
was correct, yet they accepted it, as be-
ing the best chart they could produce
under the circumstances. The chart
shows that the Brooklyn did not come
within 2 400 feet of the Texas.
On that point Commander Wainwright
said he believed no member OF the board
was satisfied with the positions allotted
to the Brooklyn and the Texas except
the navigator OF the Brooklyn (Lieuten-
ante Commander Hodgson). and he did
not think that even he was entirely satis-
fed. He further stated that the navigator
of the Iowa was dissatisfied with the posi-.
tions allowed the Iowa. The effect OF
Commander Wainwright's testimony was
to utterly discredit the work of the Board
of Navigators, appointed by Admiral
Sampson and the chart prepared by it.
