The Royal Month and the Royal
Disease.

Sudden changes of weather are es-
pecially trying, and probably to none
more so than to the scrofulous and con
sumptive. The progress of scrofula dur
ing anOrmal October is commonly great.
We never think of scrofula-its punches,
cutaneous eruptions, and wasting of the
bodily Instrumentation thinking of
the great good many sufferers from it
have derived from Hoods Sarsaparilla,
whose radical and permanent cures of
this one disease are enough to make it
the most famous medicine in the world.
There is probable not a city or town
where Hood S Sarsaparilla has not prov
ed its merit IN more homes than one, in
arresting and completely graduating
scrofula, which is almost u serious and
as much to be feared as its near relative,
consumption.

Indian School Boys

The work of educating young In
dians in the west is at times diff
ficult, but it is seldom dull. If
the teachers must confess to feel
ing of doubt as 70 their success,
with boys beariug such names as
Daniel Red Eyes and Andrew
Yellow Thunder, they can at least
console themselves with the fact
that the correction of compost
ton" is more dive,ting than in
some eastern schools. The superin-
tendent of the Lemhi reservation
in Idaho is Mr. Markey. He has
preserved proofs of his pupils
work in English. in the furm Of
various essays written by the In
dian boys, and III several notes Of
excuse. Here is Daniel Red Eyes
idea of the school IN which he is a
pupil:
ave learn how work in garden,
aud cut wood, make fence, and
many hard work. The girls in
honse sew aud wash dress and cook
ing dinuer, don't like go TO
school because my father he tell
me | don't want to go to school.
Tha. all l have to say or want to
say about chcol."
Daniel had a reasonably good
opinion of himself, as this excuse,
sent TO his teacher, indicates:
81 wish you excuse me this after
noon. My horse all ,un away yes
terday evening and l didn't find.
| hunting my horse this afternoon.
Well, | guess that all l toll you
about. Your good boy, Daniel
Red Eyes.
Rather more promising is the
attitude of young Mr.. Yellow
Thunder, VINO expresses contritlon
for Il fault:
Dear Teacher: am sorry that
l ran away from school yesterday,
but l was crazy boy l will come
to school Monday and not run
away any more. Andrew Yellow

reward is happily not confined to a

HOW TO DRINK MILK.
whyaIt oisagrees with Some Peep


when one needs a reviving stimnlant
aftea exhaustion nothing can rival the
effeers Of hot milk slipped slowly.
SDnle people say they cannot i:gest milk
AMI these are the people who drink 1t
down quickly so that the dig 7stive acids,
in playing around 1t, form large curds
which give trouble before they can be
absorbed.
The right way Is to sip the milk in small
AMOUNTS. so that each mouthful, as it de-
scends into the stomach, is surrounded
by the gastric fuid, and when the whore
glassful Is down the effect is Lha- Of q
spongy mass Of curds, in and out - which
the keen gastric Juices course speedily
doing their work Of turning the cilrd IN
to peptones that the tissues can take up.
To make sure Of complete digestion take
one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
afterwards, sis the pepsin ami diastase
they contain increase the quantity and ef-
ficiency of the gastric juices and supply
the natural digestive fermen.s which all
weak stomachs lack.
Miss Anna Fplger, a professional nurse.
speaking Of the value of Stusrts Tablets
in convaiescerce, Says: In adult pa
tients recovering from severe illress, and
especially in children, where milk dis
agrees, one DIR two tablets overcome any
stomach in IA remarkable short time.
myself have used them daily for years,
when my own digestion has suffered from
the irreguih rities and loss of sleep con-
sequent upbn my occupation.
Not only children and invnlids but
professional people and others whose
meals are necessarily hurried or irregular
will find 'Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets of the
greatest value in keeping up the tone aud
digestive vigor of the stomach"
They contain the active digestive Ter
ments the lack of which is really the
only cause of indigestion and stomach
troubles, and the regular daily use of
them latter meals will probably cure any
case of stomach trouble EXCEPT such as
arises from cancer or liberation.
MAny druggists have said that they sell
more Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets than all
other stomach remedies combined.

ALABAMA GOLD sTIRs MARKET.
FURRY Caused BY Announcement That
We Can Produce the Metal.

New York, December 3O-Something Of
a furry has been caused in Wall street,
says the World, by the formal announce

Alabama in sufficient quantities to make
the mining of it profitable
There was more of a furry when it
was announced that none of the stock
was on sale For more than two years
the land has been worked secretly. A
20-stamp mill was erected even without
the knowledge of the natives Chance led
to the discovery of the vein of ore. A
company was formed and the stock was
bought up by New York, Philadelphia and
Washington capitalists before the news
became public.
The value of the ore has been averaging
$36 ton for the past sixty days and an
other 20-stamp mill is going up.
The mine Is twenty miles from Annis-
