No Pensions for Ex-Confederate,.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE commits
sioner of pensions to-day gave out the
statement that an erroneous impression
seems to exist among many ex-Confederate
soldiers regarding the Interpretation to be
put upon the recent act of Congress reliev-
ing Union soldiers of the difficulties for
having previously served in the Confederate
army. The idea seems to prevail that un-
der this act the government is authorized
to pension eX-Confederate soldiers, and the
result is that the pension office is being
deluged with applications from the former
wearers of the gray. The commissioner ex-
planned that the law in question does not
contemplate the pensioning of ex-Confed-
crate soldiers, but that il was designed
solely to remove the disability which so
long existed in the case of men who were
impressed into the Confederate service and
later joined the Union army.

She has dolls, one of them sent all
the way from Boston by an aunt, and
although Linda loves and takes care
of them, she gives them very little
time. She cannot afford to sew for
them; for doll clothes do not pay and
crocheting does. There are flowers,
too, out in the back yard, growing and
blooming in boxes but neither mother
nor child can give them very much
care, although their presence indicates
a love for pretty surroundings The
mother and daughter have sometimes
shared an afternoon of pleasure to-
gether at the matinee, when a friend
has given them tickets, and there is al
rare intervals a trip to the park or
a boat ride across the bay. These are
their pleasures, but these come at very
long intervals, because there are al
ways shawls and slippers at home to

AN EASY WAY
To Keep Well.

1t is easy to keep well IL we would on
ly observe each day a. few simple rules
of health.
The all important thing is to keep the
stomach right and to do this it is not
necessary to diet or to follow a set rule
or bill of fare. Such pampering simply
makes a capricious appetite and a feel
ing that certain favorite articles of food
must be avoided.
Prof. Wiechold gives pretty good ad-
vice on this subject: he says: II am
6S years old and have never had a Sc
rious illness, and at the same time my
life has been largely an indoor one,
but early discovered that the way to
keep healthy was to keep a healthy
stomach, not by eating bran crackers
or dieting of any sort; on the contrary
/ always eat what my appetite Graves,
but daily for the past eight years /
have made II a practice to take one or
two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets az
ter each meal and l attribute my ro-
bust health for a man of my age to the
regular daily fuse of Stuart's Tablets
My physician first advised me to use
them because he said they were per-
fectly harmless and were not a secret
patent medicine, but contained only the
natural digestives, peptones and dias-
tase, and after using them few weeks
L nave never ceased 10 tnanK MIN Tor
his advice.
honestly believe the habit of taking
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals
liz the real health habit. because their
use brings health to the sick and ailing
and preserves health to the well and
strong"
Men and women past fifty years Of
age need a safe digestive after meals
to insure a perfect digestion and to
ward off disease. and the safest, best
known and most widely used is Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
They are found in every well regu-
lated household from Maine TO Califor-
mia and in Great Britain and Austria
LA are rapidly pushing their way into
popular favor.
An druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. full size pkgs. at 30 cents, and
for a weak stomach fifty cent pack

good.

A BULL DOG
Is Easier to Shake on Than the Cof-
fee Grip.

A lady of st. Paul, Mimi, never drank
anything but cold water until she was
married and then commenced to drink
coffee.
She says, About one year after our
marriage, my husband began to COM
plain of distress. in his stomach and
/ had such dizzy spells after each meal,
that we had to see a doctor. We drank
coffee three times a day, but did not
imagine that coffee was causing all this
distress. The doctor said both our livers
were out of order, gave us some med
icine, and told us that we ought to
break off drinking coffee. We stopped
it for awhile, but missed the hot drink
so much we went back to coffee. In
five years time I lost a complexion
that was faultless and gained a very
bad stomach, and my husbands stom-
ach was ruined. He thought he had
cancer of the stomach, or something
worse, but we had formed the habit of
coffee drinking, and like drunkards
found il no easy matter to break off,
although we knew that it was killing
both of us.
We kept a grocery store at the time,
and lady called one day and asked
for Postum Food Coffee, saying,-'My
children like it; win not drink anything
else, and / know it is good for them
because they never have trouble with
their stomachs.' This interested me, and
l told her about my bad stomach. She
told me how to make Postum and we
began it's use ourselves.
After drinking it three times a day
for a week. felt much better and my
husband declared that he felt like
new man. We have drank Postum for
four years and have never had one par
ticle of stomach trouble since, and l
have lost that sallow, yellow color I
so much disliked. and the whites of my
eyes are as clear as ever again. I know
II is because we left off drinking cof-
fee and drank Postum. / can eat any
thing and everything, and never know
] have a stomach. My husband used
20 say I would ruin our coffee trade
because told all my friends what Pos
tum had done for us"

GEORGIAAND FLORIDA

Assistant District Attorney Alexander
Ak&man as returned to Macon from
Thomson, McDuffie county, where there
was an interesting case of desertion
from the United States navy. Young
Forrest Henry Harrison was at home
on furlough visiting his parents and
decided that he would not return. He
was arrested by Sheriff E. F. Halves,
acting under authority from the Navy
Department. The boy and his parents
thought he was fraudulently enlisted
in August, 1901, and that he could not
be compelled to return. The parents
objected to his enlisting, it was claim
ed and he got his little sister to forge
his fathers name to the enlistment
papers. The parents now say that the
boy wants to stay at home and that
he Is needed for their support in their
ole" age. He accordingly stayed over
the limit of his furlough thinking that
he was safe to do so on account of his
fraudulent enlistment.

A SOURCE OF SURPRISE
To Physician and Patient alike.

DR.. Redmond, a Specialist In the study
and treatment Of piles and rectal dis
eases, recently stated that the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure, the new discovery for
the cure of piles, was the most remark
able remedy he had ever seen or tried
In one respect; and that was the in
slant relief experienced in all cases.
no matter how severe, from the moment
the remedy was applied; this was the
more surprising to him, because he had
carefully analysed the preparation and
no trace of opium, cocaine or similar
poison could be detected.
Physicians look with great favor up
on the Pyramid Pile Cure, because IL is
rapidly taking the place of surgical op-
erations and because 1t is so simple. so
easily applied. and contains no mineral
or other poisons so commonly used in
pile cures.
DR.. Esterbrook reports that the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure not only cures the va
rious forms of piles, but never fails to
give immediate relief on the first appli-
cation, no matter how severe the pain
or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles
for years are often astonished at the in
slant relief experienced from the first
application. Another important advan-
tage is the fact that anyone can use
the remedy without detention from bus
mess or interference with daily occupa-
ton.
Mr.. j. w. Rollins, Of Sweet Springs.
Mo, writes: Il consider the Pyramid
Pile Cure without an equal; IL cured
me In less than 30 days. l waited Is
days or more to be sure / was fully cur
ed before writing you; / can now say
l am cured and shall recommend the
Pyramid Pile Cure at every possible
opportunity Because Il deserves H."
The popularity Of this remedy Is such
that all druggists now sell II at fifty
cents a package and its sales exceed
those Of all similar remedies combined.
Write Pyramid Drug Co, Marshall
Mich, for their book on cause and cure
Of piles.
