PUTTING IT STRONG
But Doesn't It Look Reasonablep

| This may sread as though we were
putting 1t little strong, because 1t lie
generally thought by the majority OF
people that Dyspepsia in It's chronic
form is incurable or practically so. But
we have long since shown that Dys-
pepsia is durable, nor is 1t such diff
ficult matter as at first appears.
The trouble with Dyspeptics is that
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves, or going to opposite ex-
treme or else deluging the already over
burdened stomach with "bitters" "af-
ter dinner pills" ETC., which invariably
| Increase the difficulty even If in some
cases they do give slight temporary
relief. Such treatment of the stomach
simply makes matters worse. What
the stomach wants is q rest. Now how
| can the stomach become rested. recup-
Grated and at the same time the body
| nourished and sustained.
This Is a great secret and this lis also
the secret of the uniform success OF
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. This Is
comparatively new remedy but it's sue
cess and popularity leaves no doubt as
to It's merit.
The Tablets will digest the food any
way, regardless of condition of stom-
| ach.
The sufferer from Dyspepsia accord
ing to directions, is to eat an abund-
ance of good wholesome food and use
the tablets before and after each meal
and the result will be that the food
will be digested no matter how bad
your Dyspepsia may be, because, as
before stated. the tablets will digest the
food even II the stomach is wholly in
active. To illustrate our meaning plain
ly. If you take 1880 grains of meat,
eggs or ordinary food and place 1t in Il
temperature of 9S degrees, and put with
it one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets 1t
will digest the meat or eggs almost as
perfectly as if the meat was enclosed
within the stomach.
The stomach may he ever so weak
yet these tablets will perform the work
of digestion and the body and brain
will be properly nourished and at the
same time a radical, lasting cure OF
Dyspepsia will be made because the
much bused stomach will be given. to
some extent. a much needed rest. Your
druggist will tell you that of all the
many remedies advertised to cure Dys-
pepsia none OF them have given so
complete and general satisfaction as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not
least in Importance in these hard times
Is the fact that they are also the cheap
est and give the most good for the
least money.

HandkerC|1iefS

Plain handkerchiefs beginning at
1Oc. for women are good enough for
everyday.
At 25c. there are two kinds. One
is known as the sheer and the other
as the heavy, and the heavy looks
to be great deal better quality, but
it isn't. The difference is that the
thread in the sheer is twisted harder
than in the heavy. They are about
1Oc. better than usual 25c. handker-
chiefs.
The comparison between the SOC.
and csc. sheer and the SOC. and 25c.
heavy is so plain that any one can
see it. The SOC. handkerchief is
worth more than double the 25c.,
and the hemstitching is done by
hand. No wonder they are so dainty

Porter, appeared with new and cor.
roborative evidence which fully estab-
lished an alibi for the prisoner.

which Porter was convicted was "un.
worthy of belief and utterly unreli-
able" The pardon of Porter was
granted.
