AS a general rule, meat once a day is
sufficient for all classes of men, women
and children, and grains, fruit and
vegetables should constitute the bulk
of food eaten.
But many of the most nutritious
foods are difficult of digestion, and 1t
is no use to advise brain workers to
eat largely of grains and vegetables
where the digestion is too weak to as
simulate them properly
1t is always best to get the best re-
suits from our food that some simple
and harmless digestive should be taken
after meals to assist the relaxed di-
gestive organs, and several years ex
perience have proven Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets to be very safe, pleasant
and effective digestive and remedy
which may be taken daily with the
best results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly
be called u patent medicine as they do
not act on the bowels nor any par
ticular organ but only on the food
eaten. They supply what weak
stomachs lack, pepsin diastase, and by
stimulating the gastric glands increase
the natural secretion Of hydrochloric
acid.
People who make n daily practice of
taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal are sure to
have perfect digestion which means
perfect health.
There is no danger of forming an
injurious habit as the tablets contain
absolutely nothing but natural diges-
tives; cocaine, morphine and similar
drugs have no place in a stomach medi-
cine, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are certainly the best known and most
popular of all stomach remedies.
Ask your druggist for a fifty cent
package of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets,
and after a weeks use note the i'm
provement in health, appetite and nerv-
Gus energy.

The opening number was a chorus
selection by the glee club, valiant
Warriors" by u. Jenkins, which was
well suited to the voices in the party
and was received with much cnthus-
iasm. David Richards and David John
followed, with "rhe Sailors" duet, and
their rendition was thoroughly en-
joyed.
The glec club then sang Prof. Dan
-
ers," and gave very merltorious rem
dition. Prof. j. w. Jones favored the
audience with a solo, II Fear No Foe"
and was followed by Miss Sadie Jones,
who recited in her usual clever mani
ner.
Miss Elizabeth Ellicott, the possessor
OF a sweet voice, sang, "Alone on the
Raft" and captivated her hearers. The
glee club then gave another selection,
the OBSTRUCTION Chorus" and Mrs. w.
j. Wizard followed with pleasing
rendition of when the Heart Is
Young"
Gwilym Morlais and j. w. Jones rem
dered DR.. Parrys faraous duet, "Flow
Gently Deva," and Mrs. d. ID. Lewis
sang "Out of the Deep" all of which
We're thoroughly enjoyed. Martyrs of
the Arena" was afterwards sung by
the glee club, and Mr.. Morlais sang
two selections from Handlers oratorio
in superb voice.
Miss Jones again gave a select read
ing, and made a decided impression by
her cleverness. The closing numbers
were a solo by J. w. Jones, duet by
Mrs. Lewis and Mr.. Morlias, and a
rendition of 1.-The Pilgrims" chorus by
the glee club. Miss l.. j. Owens ac-
companied the singers and added much
to the success of the concert.

BRAIN FOOD.
Is of Little Benefit Unless II Is
Digested.

Nearly everyone will admit that as
a nation we eat too much meat and too
little of vegetables and the grains.
For business men office men and
clerks, and in fact everyone engaged in
sedcniary or indoor occupations, grains,
milk and vegetables are much more
healthful.
Only men engaged in severe, out
door manual labor can live on heavy
meat diet and continue in health.
