Rev. Irl R. Hicks 1908 Almanac.

To say that this splendid work Of
science and art is finer and better
than ever, is stating it mildly. The
demand for it is far beyond all pre-
vious years. To say that such results.
reaching through thirty years, are
not based upon sound sense and use
fulness, is an insult TO the intelli-
gence of the millions. Prof. Hicks,
through this great Almanac, and his
famous family and scientific journal,
Word and Works, is doing work for
the whole people not approached by
any other man or publication. A fair
test will prove this to any reasonable
person. Added to the most luminous
course in astronomy for 1908, fore
casts of storms and weather are given,
as never before, for every day in the
year, all charmingly illustrated with
nearly two hundred engravings The
price of single Almanac, including
postage and mailing, is thirty cents.
Word and Works with the Almanac is
$1.00 a year. Write to Word and
Works Publishing Co., 2201 Locust
Street, St. Louis, Mo-, and prove to
yourself their great value.

He has the newspaper to sell and the

great deal of space rent free. But it
does not follow that he ought to do
so. 1t ought to be recognized as a
contribution, exactly as would the
giving away of sugar or coffee by a
grocer. But strange to say, it's not
looked upon in that light at all. And
yet everybody knows that the existence
of a newspaper depends upon the rent

just the same as the merchants sue

and had penetrated the, skull. AT the
time of his death he had but $1.05 upon
his person, but had drawn no pay for
three weeks. He was buried here in the

When the stomach won't work the
structure of the body depends upon the
stomach for nourishment and renewal.
If the stomach is weak, inactive and
unable to properly digest food 1t not
only subjects the body to state of
chronic semi-starvation or habitually
|half-fe condition that weakens it and
renders it less productive of accom-
plishment and less resistant to disease,
but it allows of the absorption of half
digested rotting material that is pos
tive poison to it and taxes the elimi-
native organs to expel it from the body.
Thus it will be seen that the inconyeni-
ence and distress, the disturbed rest,
the horrors of insomnia and the dread
full caprices of nightmare, are the most
insignificant part of indigestion and
that real danger turks behind the con-
dition.
Few people seem to realize the dam
gers of weak, defective and disor-
dered digestion. Health reports do not
give it as a cause of death, because
some other disease sets in to work de-
structive changes, only made possible
by the imperfect digestion, and the
death is accredited to them.
There are many medicines on the
market intended to correct and improve
perverted or impaired digestion, but
none are so safe. so economical so con-
venient, 50 effective, so satisfactory, so
popular as are Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's. Whether the dyspepsia is of long
standing or is only a case of temporary
indigestion. they give prompt and pro-
rounced relief. Their regular use for
time will cure all forms of gastric in
sufficiency so that good digestion viii
