There is no other way and the idea th;lt

the fol-de-rol that dyspepsia or indl-

fallacy, that weak stomach which re-

so by irritating and inflaming the bow

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure indl-

digestive principles which weak stom-
achs lack, and unless the deficiency OF
pepsin and diastase is supplied 1t Is
useless to attempt to cure stomach
trouble by the use of "tonics, pills
and "cathartics," which have absolute
ly no digestive power, and their only
effect is to give a temporary stimula-
ton.
One grain of the active principle in
Etuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
5000 grains of meat. eggs and similar
foods, and experiments have shown
that they will do this in a glass bottle

People who enjoy fair health take
Stuart's Tablets as regularly as they

cure, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do
both; they prevent indigestion and they
remove it where it exists. The regular
use of one or two of them after meals
will demonstrate their merit and eff

THE GIRLS OF KAsHMIR.
why They Are Not as Beautiful as
They Once Were

The girls of kashmir in former times
were sold and carried away to the
Punjab, in India. They commanded
large price, and parents In moderate
circumstances for centuries past have
been in the habit of parting with their
daughters to place themselves In easier
circumstances, and the daughters have
generally been quite willing to escape
from life of penury and labor to one
Of opulence and ease.
A laboring man in this part of India
cannot earn over 50 or So a month,
while many receive for their daughters
as high as $1,000. There are some cases
where $1,000 was paid, but the usual
price has been from 500 to $500.
The practice became so common as
well as so damaging that severe law
was enacted prohibiting any one from
removing any woman from the coun-
try, but 1t is said that the business
goes on now as it has done for hun
dreds of years. and to that practice
may be charged the fact that the wo-
men of Kashmir are not as beautiful
as they once were.
The process of taking all the beauti-
full girls away, leaving only the ordi-
nary and ugly ones to continue the
race. has lowered the standard of beau
ty. Most of the women and girls per-
form field labor as much as the men,
and their dress is of the coarsest and
plainest materials. consisting of a gar
ment like nightgown made of white
cotton. There is no effort to have it fit.
The condition of women in Kashmir
is very sad one, but one from which
there does not seem to be any present
escape. 1t is a constant struggle to
live, without the least hope of any ac-
emulation or of ever seeing better
days.
The men only receive about cents a
day and the women generally about
cents, and that will provide only the
coarsest od.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

emphasizes some feature that marks
your store alone, you can make good
use of it. 1t puts into condensed form
an idea that will get hold of people
and influence them If persistently pre-
scented to them. One fact about your
business well lodged in the heads of
people is as good as score that do not
penetrate
You can make people believe about
what you like if you go about it prop
erly. If man comes to you today and
tells you there will be a panic inside
of six months, you will pay no atten-
ton to him. If another comes tomor-
row with the same story, he will get
no attention, but you will idly wonder
what is getting into folks. The third
man you will argue the matter with.
The fourth will get more of hearing.
and you will begin to see signs of dis.
aster yourself. BY the time the tenth
man has made the statement you will
be ready to tell folks the same story
yourself.
Probably you yourself could not be
influenced in such a manner, but the
common run of people are built that
way and will believe what they are
told often enough. That is why an
expressive catch phrase does good. 1t
comes to stand for you and your meth
DDS and of necessity is remembered
when goods in your line are wanted.
AS ordinarily used such a phrase is
of little value, because it is not proper
ly hammered into people. Such line
should go on letter heads, billheads,
stationery, envelopes, should go into
every ad. or circular, should be seen
about the store and should appear on
labels. Put it on a sticker to attach to
goods and packages. Let people see
it everywhere. If it means what it
says, people are going to respond to it.

Useful Purposes of Rosin.

There are many useful purposes to
which rosin can be applied outside of
those of general practice. As non
conductor of heat it is used in the pro-
lection of water pipes, particularly in
crossing bridges. where the pipe is laid
in the middle of long box and the
whole filled with melted rosin. Resin
is also used in supporting basement
floors in machine shops. which may be
laid over some dry material, as spent
molding sand, which is carefully lev
eled off, and the planking laid upon
temporary supports separating it about
two inches above the sand.
Numerous holes about two inches in
diameter being bored through these
planks melted rosin is forced through
them by means of tunnels until the
whole space is solidly filled, and then
the upper flooring is laid upon these
planks. In c;sse the floor is subjected
to shocks sufficient to break the rosin
1t rapidly joins together again in much
the same manner as the regulation of
ice.

Her One Success,

In the civil war time a western wo-
man who had lost her husband in the
field and who hoped to win livelihood
for herself and her little ones by writ
ing sent to Harpers Magazine a story
which had no special distinction and
was returned. In the desperate mood
that followed this rejection she sat
down with pen afiame and told ''why
wrote it," and her story under that IL
tie was accepted and published, win
ming a sympathetic response from all
its readers. But this production, the
echo of a vital moment was her one
story in the magazine. Oliver Wendell

1t takes almost a lifetime to thor
oughly master the intricacies of do
nestle economy without being mean
and stingy. 1t is easy enough to do
without things and teach others to do
without them and to cut it so fine that
you must go without But to have ev-
erything you need, to buy it in the best
market at the lowest rate and use it to
the best advantage, and use it all, is a
triumph of management continually
yearned after, but seldom attained.

himself landed in bunker, and it Is
only his experience which enables him

converts to political movement in ia

the politicians began to give considera-

The Flat Footed Girl.

For the fiat footed girl there is little
hope. Very old persons whose muscles
are almost dormant and who have diff
ficulty in walking have the fiat footed
habit. They are usually heavy limbed
persons of full habit. For a girl to
walk fiat footed is almost sinful, as it
indicates phlegmatic, heavy, careless
disposition.
The girl who walks fiat footed rarely
wears good shoes and isn't likely to be
well dressed. The fiat footed girl is in
clined to drag her feet along as if they
were too heavy for her to lift. Gener-
ally the fiat footed girl develops into
fat woman. She is never graceful.
