AS HOSTS.
John Buford Post Gives Oyster
Supper to Women's Re-
lief Corps.
NUMBER OF ToAsrs RESPONDED TO
w. 3. Bruner Talks on Mexican
War; Mayor on Our
Country"

John Buford post No. 24S gave an
oyster supper at Memorial hall Sat-
urday evening in honor OF the
Women's Relief corps. Previous to
the spread a carefully prepared pro-
gram consisting of toasts inter-
spersed with music was carried out.
The first number was response to
the toast. Fraternity, by Mrs. F. c..
Hemenway, who handled her subject
in most creditable manner. On the
toast "The Mexican War" w. b.
Bruner gave a number of interesting
and amusing "reminiscences of the
stirring events of the days of As to
'4S. in which he was an actor. Mrs.
William Norris subject was "Char-
ity." and she dealt with the benevo-
lent undertakings of the w. r. G
After a vocal solo by Miss Carse and
"a piano solo by Miss Roberts. Mayor
William McConochie was called upon
to speak on the subject, Our Coun-
try"
The mayor apologized for having
failed to prepare himself. intimating
that he felt as though he had "been
run over with the band wagon" and
was therefore not in proper frame of
mind to handle so stupendous a sub
ject. Nevertheless he ventured few
extemporaneous remarks that served
as a very good substitute in the alb
sence of speech.
"The G. A. r." by Mrs OuayIe.
Two musical mum bers, piano duet
by Misses Mitchell and Buck and a
guitar solo by Russell Hampton, the
latter being enthusiastically encored,
followed the mayors speech, and then
Mrs. Kate Quayle responded to The
G. A. B." She dwelt upon the
trials and suffering out of which the
Grand Army of the Republic was
born and touched feelingly upon the
bond which binds its members to-
gether. 1.-The Cavalry" was the sub
ject assigned to Capt. A. M. Blakes-
ley. Having served in the infantry
himself, the captain was inclined 10
speak disparagingly of the branch of
the service he had been called upon
to treat, especially when he referred
to that most important duty of the
soldier, foraging. With Loyalty"
as her subject, Mrs. j. H. Cleland
gave short talk which went to the
hearts IF every one present. q. l..
Mitchell spoke on "Our New Posses
sions" and Capt. w. j. Ransom told
about "Foraging." A recitation,
"Our Country's Flag" by Master
Parks, closed the program, after
which Chairman F. M. Rogers an
nounced supper, and mess call was
given by Church's drum corps.
Old Soldiers Serve.
The repast, which was of surpass-
ing excellence, was served by mem
bers of the post attired as walters.
1t was necessary to call upon the
corporal of the guard several times to
restrain the mem bers of the w. r. c.,
who showed a disposition to assume
the duties that usually fall to the lot
of woman at meal time.

THE HEALTH HABIT.
just as Easy to Form q. Amy oshst

just as Easy to Form as ANY Other.
We do not deliberately form our
pet habits, but they are unconsciously
acquired and grow as we grow, and
by the time we learn they are hurting
us, we find them too strong to be
easily broken.
Then, why not form a good habit
habit which will counterfeit the
many bad ones, in other words con-
tract the questionable habit of being
always well.
The best health habit to get into is
to have and keep vigorous stomach;
if you have healthy digestion you
eau 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 stomachs without any assist
ance.
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 di-
gestives and when they are combined
in such a pleasant preparation as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. they give
the overworked stomach just the nee
essary assistance to secure perfect
digestion without any of the harmful
effects of cathartics and similar drugs.
The habit of taking Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets after meals is as neces-
sary to the weak stomach as food it
self, and indeed to get the benefit
from food eaten. nothing better and
certainly nothing safer can be used.
Many families consider Stuart's
Tablets as essential in the house as
knives and forks.
They consist entirely of natural
digestive principles without the effect
or characteristics of drugs; they have
no cathartic 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 so cents in box of
Stuart's Dyspepsia 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 popular
stomach remedy and he win say
Stuart's.
