"DIVORCE
Party" Was a Novel
Social Event
Given by. a Baltimore Grass
Widow.

Baltimore, Oct. 16.-A divorce
party is the newest social function,
and one was held the other night at
Lloyd Hall, on Towson ST., Locust
Point, with Mrs. Marie W.'vitt as the
hostess. 1t was an occasion Of great
jubilation, and all Locust Point took
the keenest interest therein.
AS Mrs. Witt says, the divorce
party" was one Of the happiest events
of her life, and the congratulations of
her friends upon her freedom were so
sweet that she intends never to shatter
the pleasing memory of her divorce
party" by an assumption of marriage
bonds, which, in her case, proved gall
ing and irksome Mrs. Witt, with her
five children by a former marriage,
lives at 1903 Cooksie st., and is Wv
acious woman of middle age. Her un-
ion with Mr., Witt lasted not quite two
and a half years. She applied for an
absolute divorce in one Of the city
courts on July 12 last, and the marital
bond was severed by judicial decree
a month later. She said last night
"My divorce party came about in
this way: I had told many Of my
friends that would give them an en-
tertainment when got my divorce, and
after it was granted they came to me
and reminded me of what i had said.
Being woman of my word of course

MassiIlon District Will
Ask 1t

Scent Raise.

Massillon, O.. Oct. 18.--Robert Legg,
district president Of the United Mine
Workers of America, says that the
operators Of this district will be asked
to allow the miners an advance Of
five cents ton.
1--WE believe that we are entitled to
this advance" said Mr.. Legg yester-
day. ''The operators have always
professed willingness to give us a
/. fair share of the profits, and now
we are going to put that willingness
to the test. We should be given this
increase for 1t is we who have made

been advanced. Therefore being re-
sponsible for. these conditions. we
should at least have small share of
the benefits. Even if the strike is
ended shortly, there is no likelihood
that the price will be dropped back to
where it was. OF course, we do not
say that we will break our agreement
to enforce this demand, but we will
trust entirely to the operators sense
of fairness"

A GOOD DEAL OF NON
SENSE.
About "Blood Purifiers" and
"Tonics."

Every drop of blood, every bone,
nerve and tissue in the body can be
renewed In but one way, and that Is,
from wholesome food properly digest
ed. There is no other way, and the
iden that q medicine In itself can puri-
fy the blood or supply new tissues
ana strong nerves is ridiculous and on
a par with the fol-de-rol that dyspep-
sia or indigestion is germ disease or
that other fallacy, that a weak stom-
ach which refuses to digest food can
be made to do so by Irritating and In
flaming the bowels by pills and ca
thartics,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure in
digestion, sour stomach, gas and bloat-
ing after meals, because they furnish
the digestive principles which weak
stomachs lack, and unless the defici-
ency Of pepsin and dlastase is supplied
1t is useless to attempt to cure stom-
ach trouble by the use of 'tonics,"
pills and "cathartics' which have
absolutely no digestive power, and

stimulation.
Ono grain of the active principle in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
5000 grains Of meat eggs and similar
foods, and experiments have shown
that they Will do this in n glass bottle
at. proper temperature, but Of course
are much more effective in the stom-
ach.
There is probably no remedy so uni
versally used as Stuart's Tablets be-
cause It is not only the sick and ailing,
but well people who use them at every
meal to insure perfect digestion and
assimilation of the food.
People who enjoy. fair health take
Stuart's Tablets as regularly as they
take their meals, because they want
to keep well, prevention Is better than
cure, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
do both; they prevent indigestion and
they remove 1t where It exists. The
regular use of one or two of them after
meals will demonstrate their merit
and efficiency better than any other
argument.

A REMUNERATIVE
APPLE CROP

tention of the most fastidious buyers
in the most exclusive markets in either
the old or new world.
Although the major part of the fall
apples have been picked and sold, but
few of the winter varieties have
been placed upon the market, the
season for gathering the latter beginA
ming about the 18th of October and
ending at the corresponding time in
the following month.
Although the prices this year will
be fairly remunerative, it is not be-
lieved they will reach the standard of
last year, owing TO the big fruit crop
in the Eastern states and the competi-
tion afforded by the orchArdists in
the vicinity OF Montrose. Grsud
Junction and other localities in the
western part Of Colorado.
Until last season the home growers
had no rivalry with the fruit pro-
duced ON the western slope Of the
divide. but now it is different and
they are freighting it TO Denver. Pu-
eblo. Colorado Springs and other
points in car loads lots.
Local shippers have been paying a
dollar n box for r-d apples the last few
DAYS, which is not by any means
price TO complain at. indeed. there is
good reason to believe that prices will
be fairly satisfactory throughout the
season.
There is diversity of opinion.
among the men best prepared to pass
judgmcn; upon the subject. as TO the
extent OF the appl" crop here this sea
son some of them alleging thst it
will not b. more than eighty per
cent of the product Of last year, Others,
however, maintaining that IL will
equal. both in bulk and value. that
Of any previous season.
Til. crop marketed in Canon City
last year was approximately $50 car
! loads. OF which practically two thiuis
was grown on the south side OF the
river. The records OF the express
companies show that fully as much
frnit and vegetables hayc been ship.
ped ont OF here during the last two
months n was the case for the cor
responding period last year.
Whether the apple crop is greater
or less this season than during some
of its predecessors will probably al
WAYS remain matter of controversy.
hut in spite Of IL all, IL IS certain
that the crop soon to be marketed will
bring lot OF dollars into the com.
munity.
