THE AMENDMENTS.

There are SIX amendments To
the state constitution to be voted
upon in November: the Bucklin.
Taylor, Eight hour law. Biennial
Elections and the Barels, which re-
quires foreigners TO reside in the
country five years before they can
vote.
We favor them all except the.
biennial election amendment
That provides that both state and
county elections shall be the same
year. Our objection To this
amendment is that it embraces too
many candilates on one ballot
and unworthy candidates are lost
sight of and pulled through 10y the
party ticket. Again it enables

When the coal strike was de.

prosperous circles WAS this
\ lot of poor, dissatisfied scoun-

The difference in character be.

The easiest way for the mine
owners to hurt the miners WAS to

make them give up the fight by

In mounting ferrotype prints many
amateurs succeed in getting paste all
over the surface of the picture. OF
course the gloss is removed whenever
the paste sticks and the result is any
thing but n neat photograph. The evil
is generally due to carelcssness, but
sometimes the method of doing the
FASTING is at fault. says the Brooklyn
Daily Eagle. Occasionally the FASTING
is done on glass and the different prints
Of the same size are supposed to be
placed in the same position. but in
variably one print is little larger than
the rest or it is not placed just right
and the edges are covered with paste
or perhaps the glass is cleaned off each
time. but not thoroughly dried.
There is simple and quick way OF
mounting dry prints which leaves no
excuse for anything but clean work.
Take n newspaper and trim the folded
edges ON the cutter or with the scissors.
Then paste one print on each sheet of
paper. being careful to hold il down
firmly so that it cannot slip on to the
pasted portion. In this way each sheet
IL thrown away as soon us used and
there is no paste around in the way.
IF course care must be taken not to
touch the glossy surface of the print
with the same fingers used to hold 1t
down while FASTING

AN EASY WAY
To Keep Well.

1T is easy to keep well if you would
only observe eacG day l. few simple
rules of health.
The all important thing is to keep
the stomach right, and to do this it
is not necessary 10 diet or to follow
n set of rules or bill of fare. Such
pampering simply makes a capricious
appetite and feeling that certain
favorite articles of food must be
avoided.
Prof. Wiechold gives pretty good
advice on this subject. He says: Il
am 6S years old and have never had Il
serious 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 L have made it a
practice to take one or two of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal, and L attribute my robust
health for a man of my age to the
regular daily use of Stuart's Tab
let's.
My physician first advised me to
use them because he said they were
perfectly harmless and were not Il
secret patent medicine, but contain
ed only the natural digestives. pep
tones and diastase. and after using
them few weeks l have never ceas-
ed To thank him for his advice.
Il honestly believe the habit of TAX
ing Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
meals is 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 30 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 Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets.
They are found i'll every well regu-
lated household from Maine to Cali
fornia and i'm Great Britain and Aus
tralia are rapidly pushing their way
into popular favor.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets, full sized packages at 90
cents. and for weak stomach a 80
cent package will often do $50 worth
of good.
