Is of Little Benefit Unless 1t is Di-
gested
Nearly everyone viii 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
sedentary or indoor occupations. grains.
milk and vegetables are much more
healthfuI
Only men engaged in a severe outdoor
manual labor car live on heavy meat
diet and continue in health
As q general rule, meat once a day is
sufficient for all classes of men, women
and children, and grains, fruit and veg
etables should constitute the bulk Of
food eaten.
But many Of the most nutritious foods
are difficult of digestion and il is Of no
use TO advise brain workers 10 eat large
y Of grains and vegetables where the
digestion is too weak 10 assimilate them
properly.
It 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 diges-
tive organs. and several years expert
ence have proven stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets to be q very safe pleasant and
effective digestive and remedy which
may be taken daily with the best re-
suits.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly
! be called patent medicine, as they do
not act on the bowels nor any partieu-
lar organ but only on the food eaten.
They supply what weak stomachs lack.

People who make a daily practice Of
taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspep-

There is no danger o. corning an in

Development Of Cool
Age IN Eighty Years
-PeTCeDJaEe-
Great United
Britain States

ance Of coal production in these eoun>
tries must be conceded. To this group
might be added Belgium. which produces
and consumes more coal per capita than
any other European country. except the
United Kingdom but for the fact of its
small population placing it in the second
rank OF Coal-prOducing countries.
While the continued output OF these
three countries has kept pace with the
production of the rest Of the world. their
relative position has been materially
altered. In 1868 the United Kingdom
produced over three times as much as
either the United States OF Germany.
the output of these countries being ap-
pToximstsly %. 49,, and 1872 per cent OF
the worlds production, respectively. In
1870 the proportion was about the same,
although the United States had gained
u6on Germany as a coaI-producer.
BY 1875 the output OF the United
Kingdom was still considerably greater
than the combined production of the
United States and Germany. the output
of these three countries being 45, 20,
and IS per cent of the worlds produc-
Ton. respectively.
American Production Increase.
The next haIf-deeenniaI period wit
messed remarkable increase in the
American production. and a correspond
ing relative decrease in that Of Great
Britain. the proportion OF these coun-
tries being Sc. q. and IT per cent. re-
spectively- This increase was maintain
ed during the latter part Of the past
Ieentury,rand in 1886. the output of Great
Britain and Ireland was only q per
cent, that OF the United States already
I 80 pr cent. and that Of Germany 19. 2
T per cent Of the coal production Of the
world
In 1899. for the first time. the coal
production Of the United States exceed
ed IN quantity that Of Grees Britain.
This superiority has been maintained for
TWO successive years. During 1901 the
/ United states production was greater
than the amount Of coal produced in
T Great Britain, and all her colonies Dur
/ ing that year the shares Of the leading
coaI-producing countries were as fol-
lows: United States. 81 per cent: United
/ Kingdom, IS per cent. and Germany. 1872
/ per cent Nor is there any prospect that
I the leading position OF the United states
may be lost in favor Of another ooun-
/ try within any calculable future time.
