To Keep Their Digestion Perfect
Nothing is SO Safe and Pleasant
as Stuari's Dyspepsia Tablets

Thousands OF men and women have
found Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets the
safest and most reliable preparation for
any form Of indigestion or stomach trou-
BILE.
Thousands of people who are not sick,
but are well and wish to keep we'll take
Stuart's Tablets after every meal to in
sure perfect digestion and avoid trouble.
But it is not generally known that the
Tablets are Just as good and wholesome
for little folks as for their elders.
Little children who are pale, thin and
have no appetite, or do not grow or
thrive should use the tablets after eating
and will derive great benefit from them.
Mrs. G. H. Crostley. ;3S Washington
Street, Hoboken n. j., writes: "Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets just fill the bill for
children as we'll as for older folks. I've
had the best of luck with them. My
three-year-old girl takes them as readily
as candy. I have only to say tablets
and she drops everything else and runs
for them"
A Buffalo mother, a short time ago, who
despaired of the life of her babe, was so
delighted with the results from giving the
child these tablets that she went before
the notary public Of Erie county. n. Y.
and made the following affidavit:
Gentlemen: Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets We're recommended to me for my two
months-old baby. which was sick and

hospital, but there found 20 relief. A
friend mentioned the Stuart Tablets and

used only the large sweet lozenges in
the box and was delighted to find they
were just the thing for my baby. I feel
justified in saying that Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets saved my child's life.

Sectarian Authorizations

Editor OF The Times:
sir,-The discussion of the measure pro
hibitins this use of public money for sec
retarian institutions is now proceeding
in the Constitutional Convention. 1t may
be we'll TO say once more and quite plainly
that the question is not one OF eN-
pediency, but OF immutaEle principle. TO
take money from the private citizen s
pocked for the support of an institution
under the control of q religious sect IS
tyranny pure and simple. It is just as
much tyranny when it is taken out OF Il
municipal treasury as when it is taken
out OF the States Treasury. To leave
such a prohibition out Of the Constitu-
ton is to put the various communities
of the State at the mercy of the denomi-
nation which is dominant in that COM
r.unity Constitutions are intended to
safeguard the rights OF minorites. 1t is
hoped that this convention will settle
this matter once and for all. Petitions
for such an enactment have come up
from all parts of the State, and nearly
all religious denominations in the State
are represented in. these petitions. The
sentiment of the State is against such use
of public money.
