proposed doing so until receipt of your

Washington, December 16-The house today passed the bill transferring from the treasury department to the depart ment of agriculture the power to estab- fish regula tions for the suppression of contagious diseases among live stock, and devoted the remainder of the day to the legislative appropriation bill on which rapid progress is made.

 After completing 122 pages of the bill, the committee rose.
 A resolution was adopted calling upon the attorney general for information as to whether in the case of the Eastern Cherokee's ys. the United States the award of December 19, 1901, is readjudi- cated and to advise the house whether the reasons set forth in the opinion of the department of Justice.

speed of 600 public school children in 15 cities who have studied the vertical style for from two to five years is 13O letters per minute, whereas the average of nearly 200 slant writers, all adults, Is only 1Os letters per minute.
 Vertical handwriting Is commonly spoken of as a fad which has sprung up within the last ten or twelve years. In reality, however, this style of writing is shown to antedate by more than a cen- tury the slopng method. Dr. Edward Brooks of Philadelphia who has written a history of the two systems or penman- ship in question, says that the slant sys- tenn was unknown in any language until the sixteenth century. Prior to that time all chirography was vertical. It was, practically, the only hand written by the ancient Romans. When, during the mid dle ages, the cultivation of a fine style of penmanship was at it's height in Italy, slant writing was never practiced. That style seems first to have been popularizee by Queen Elizabeth, who fell in love with the new type of a Venetian printer, af- terward known as italic, and fashioned her handwriting after it.

WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU.
Few People Realize the Importance of
 Good Digestion Until 1t Is Lost.

Many people suffer from dyspepsia and do not know 1t. They feel mean, out of sorts, Peevish, do not sleep well, do not have good, keen appetite, do not have the inclination and energy for physical or mental work they once had, but at the same time do not feel any particular pain or distress In the stomach. Yet all this is the result of poor digestion, an insidious form of Dyspepsia which can only be cured by a remedy specially intended to cure it and make the digestive organs act naturally and properly digest the food eaten. Bitters, after dinner pills and nerve tonics will never help the trouble; they don't reach it. The new medical dis covery does. Ii is called Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets and Is a specific for dys- pepsia and indigestion. It cures because 1t thoroughly digests all wholesome food taken into the stomach, whether the stomach is in good working order or not.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets by digest ing the food, instead of making the worn out stomach do all the work, gives it much needed rest and a cure of dyspepsia is the natural result
 When you are nervous, run down and sleepless, don't make the common mis- take of supposing your nervous system needs treatment and fill your stomach with powerful nerve tonlcs which make you feel good for little while, only to fall back further than ever.
 Your nerves are all right but they are starved. they want food.
 Nourish them with wholesome eyerv- day food and plenty of it, well digested and you can laugh at nerve tonics and medicine
 But the nerves will not be nourished rom a weak, abused stomach, but when the digestion has been made perfect by the use of this remedy all nervous svmp- toms disappear.
 Who ever heard of a man or woman blessed with a vigorous digestion and good appetite being troubled with their nerves?
 Good digestion means a strong nervous system abundance of energy and capacity to enjoy the good things of lire.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will cer tainly set your stomach and digestive or- gans right; they can't help but do 1t be- cause they nourish the body by digestins the food eaten, and rest the stomach
 You get nourishment and rest at one and the same time, and that is all tha worn-out dyspeptic needs to build him m and give new life to every organ and an added zest to every pleasure.
 stuart Dyspepsia Tablets are a pod send to the army of men and women with weak stomachs, weak nerves and fustIv merits the claim of being one of the most worthy medical discoveries of the time

The Annual Gridiron Battle Occurs
at Philadelphia This
Afternoon.

Philadelphia, Nov. 27.-The University
of Pennsylvania and Cornell football
elevens met to-day on Franklin Field in
the annual gridiron battle. Since 1893
Pennsylvania and Cornell have met an
nually in football and during that period
the Ithican boys have won only one game,
that Of last year, But Captain Warner
was sanguine OF victory when his team
trotted ont the field to-day. He said his
players were not so badly injured as the
reports indicated and the way, the New
York state lads went through signals
seemed to bear cut his statement. The
Pennsylvania eleven was in the best ply
steal condition. The members Of the team
who have been spending the last week at
Mount Pocono reached this city last night.
Coach Williams said all the players were
in fine condition and capable of putting
up the game Of their lives
The rain of the last two days had COM
pletely soaked the big gridironN and the
footing was muddy and treacherous,
while the ball was slippery and hard to
handle.
For the first time in two days the sun
shone brightly and it was an ideal day
for the favorite college game.
There was an immense crowd present
when the two teams appeared on the field
at 2. p. m. Edward n. Wrightington OF
Harvard acted as referee and Paul J.
