WHAT 1T MEANS TO YOU.
Few People Realize the Importance
of Good Digestion Until 1t Is Lost.

Many people suffer from dyspepsia
and do not know it. They feel mean,
out of sorts, peevish, do not sleep well,
do not have a good keen appetite, do not
have the inclination and energy for ply
steal or mental work they once had, but
at the same time do not feel any partic-
ular pain or distress in the stomach Yet
all this is the result of poor digestion,
inSidiouS form of Dyspepsia which
can only be cured by remedy specially
intended to cure it and make the diges-
tive organs act naturally and properly
digest the food eaten. Bitters, after din
ner pills and nerve tonicS will never help
the trouble; they don't reach it. The
new medical discovery does 1t is called
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and is
specific for dyspepsia and indigestion
1t cures because it thoroughly digeStS all
wholesome food taken into the stomach,
whether the stomach is in good working
order or not
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets by digest
ing the food, instead of making the
worn out stomach do all the work given
it much needed rest and cure of
dyspepsia is the natural result.
When you are nervous, run down and
SleepleSS, don't make the common mis-
take of supposing your nervous system
with powerful nerve tonics which make
you feel good for a little while only 10
fall back farther than ever
Your nerves are all right but they are
STAYED, they want food.
Nourish them with wholesome every
day food and plenty of it, well digested,
and you can laugh al nerve tonics and
medicine.
But the nerves will not be nourished
from a weak. abused stomach, but when
the digestion has been made perfect by
the use of this remedy all nervous
symptoms disappear.
Who ever heard of a man or woman
blessed with a vigorous digestion and
good appetite being troubled with their
nerves?
Good digestion means a strong nerv-
Gus system, abundance of energy and
capacity to enjoy the good things of life.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will GER
tainly set stomach and digestive organs
right; they can't help but do it because
they nourish the body by digesting the
food eaten. and rest the stomach
You get nourshment and rest at one
and the same time, and that is all the
worn out dyspeptic needs to build him
up and give new life to every organ
and an added zest to every pleasure.

Many toys are manufactur in France.
The French have the knack of turning
everything to account, and it is said that
most of these tin toys are made from old
sardine and other tins that have been
thrown away. In France are made cheap
sets of chessmen and bone dominoes, a
large proportion of the bone used for this
purpose being the waste material from
the factories of toothbrush manufac-
turers.

BEAUTIFYING FAIR SITE.
Transformation of Exposition Grounds
a Gigantic Task.

St Louis No, Dec. 17-Since the
driving of the first stake for the Louis
lana Purchase exposition, September g.
1901, many changes have been wrought
in the topography of Forest park. Up
ward of 100000 cubic yards of earth
have been moved. not including exca-
walton for sewers. drains. water pipes,
electric conduits or for the foundation
piers of the buildings.
After the site had been selected and
the general scheme decided upon the
first problem was to dispose OF the
River des Peres. which wound its way
over ground needed for the big exhibit
building The total length of the river
was $500 linear feet. This length was
reduced to 1850 feet, and the entire river
was placed underground.
With the construction of the River
des Peres channelway the real trans
formation OF Forest park began.
The person who looks north and west
from the crest of Government hill. Art
hill or the hill south of the machinery
building, will appreciate the wisdom
shown in the selection of the site and
in the work of the architects. Not only
is the main picture of the exposition
spread out before him, but large part
of the city of St. Louis is in view.

he will see lines of telford and macadam
