HOW MANY MEALS A DAYp Theories Without Number as to What Should Con stitute Q paY's Fare.

Boston EvenIng Transcript.
 Have you ever taken time to reckon the multiplicity of the theories nowadays with regard to the number of meals that should Hll out the days fare and the hours at which they should be eaten? If you have done this. the probability is that you emerged from the study in arithmetic convinced that it makes precious little difference what man is doing as long as he is possessed of a sufficient amount of faith in the line he is following. For you can easily call to mind half a dozen of your acquaintances who say that their health has improved 100 per cent since they cancelled their breakfasts and took to eating rather hearty luncheon. And within sound of your voice are as many other persons who declare they never knew what perfect health meant till they cut out the midday meal altogether, al- lowing satisfying breakfast and a not too late dinner to cover the amount of food consumed through the day Then come to your mind the lusty exponents of the theory that five meals day are none too many to keep the body in fuel and another set who gloat over the robust condition they have Wooed and won through clinging to regime that allows but one square meal a day.
 And If you feel to take firm stand for or against any one particle of food or drink and are looking for examples to help you to a decision, you get quite AS much confused in any attempt ts. decide who has the rights of the case with him, One will tell you he cannot drink coffee because 1t affects him in such and such A way, while another will tell you that he never could get through his days work without it's gently stimulating influence. and that he knows 1t benefits him be- cause he always sleeps like a baby after drinking 1t late at night. Going through the list of things that men eat and drink you will find the same pros and cons h. ply. and 1t becomes fearfully bewilderinR before you get half through the list. sn IT you care to search the records of food causes that medical journals have cham ploned' say, for the last century, you will ma that what was blest in one deca1a was decried in the next. And then vo,, Know you aren't the only one who has aI- most been swamped by contradictory s,,I aence in the case of the people ys food When. however, you get where won nre convinced that some great occuIt nors, principle underlies these differences vhir ! are. after all, only superficial and tho. undertake to study this princinIo o,S +s.. ramitcations, you are bound to have S,o,', I'. trst real satisfaction from the nrob,eno though you probably will not he shIa 4, get on the fence in your copitatio..

THEY ACTUALLY
 DO THE WORK. Food Eaten is Worthless Unless Di- gested-Some Stomachs Must
 Havo Help.

Food taken into the stomach which, from the nature of the food or the con- dition of the stomach, Is not digested, Is
 worse than no food at all. This is a true statement as far as 1t goes and great many dyspeptics go only this far with their reasoning. They argue with them selves that because their stOmachs do not do the work given them, they must
 be given less work; in other words, they must be starved. It would be just as sensible for a business man who is un able to do all his own work to cut down his business to his own capacity as it is for a man to starve himself to relieve his stomach. The sensible busi- ness man employs help and goes forwa with his business. Likewise the sensible dyspeptic will employ help for his stom- ach and give his body proper nourish- ment.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually do the work assigned to them. They relieve weak and overburdened stomachs of a
 great portion of digestive action. Their component parts are identical with those
 of the digestive fluids and secretions of the stomach and they simply take up the grind and carry on the work just the same as a good. strong, healthy stomach
 would do it.
 On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets are perfectly natural in their action and effects They do not cause any un- natural or violent disturbance in the stomach or bowels. They themselves di- Rest the food and supply the system with all the nourishment contained in what is eaten and carry out Natures plans for the sustenance and maintenance of the body
 How much more sensible is this method than that employed by many sufferers from weak stomachs. By this means body and brain get all the good, nutritious food they need and the man is properly nourished and equipped to carry on hls work and perform his duties. He could not possibly be in proper working condl lion bv starving himself or employing some new tangled insufficient food that does not contain enough nutriment for a year-oId baby A strong man doing strong work must be properly fed and this applies to the brain as well as the body. stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by relieving the stomach of it's work, enable it to re- cunerate and regain its normal health and strength. Nature repairs the worn and wasted tissues just as she heals and l Unite the bone of a broken limb, which is of course not used during the process stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale bv all druggists at 50 cents box and | tRav are the one article that the druggist l Soes moi try to sell something in the place l of that's ''just as good" Their unquali- l fed merit and success and the universal demand for them has placed them within the reach of every one.

You will soon acquire a sur prising endurance, as you may easily prove by getting some companion to fol low yoyu through the exercises. He may be strong, and perhaps something of an athlete. but unless he is exceptionally well developed he will certainly show signs of fatigue and may have to stop before you begin to tire.
 You must impress it upon your mind however, that there must be no weaken ing on the tasks that you have laid down for yourself
 Some cold mornings you will get up possibly after a hard night, feeling Ian guid and unrefreshed. Instead of taking your cold bath. rub-down and exercises you may be tempted to say "Oh, I'll just skip 1t this once, and jump into youl clothes.'
 Such weakness is fatal.

THE WORLD PRODUCER
The American Farmer is Kins of All.

Alter all we read about transactions in Wal street, the wonderful revenues of the government, the tremendous statis- ucs or transportation. and the great to- tais that make up our unparalleled pros- perity, We see that the basis of 1t all is the farm. and the chief factor of our wealth and well being is the farmer. He IS the sovereign in the nation of sover- eigns.
 The farmers of America are largely feeding and clothing the nations of the civilized world. It Is to them that is due the new fact in history which makes the United States the creditor nation of the earth.
 We can scarcely realize the changes that have taken place in farming life unui we investigate the facts. The American farmer of this generation is an educated man, with a broad grasp of conditions and knowledge of details which enable him to get the largest re- suits from his crops
 At first. the agricultural colleges met with little favor. but as soon as they showed their practical value they began to increase, and now we have them in practically every ate, making experi- ments, educating young men and con- triputing to the profit and practicability Of agriculture. So far has this gone that the farmer of today is able to get his regular crops without impoverishing his soil. The production more than keeps pace with the demand. and however much the farmer may complain of the losses he meets, his home and his bank account both bear evidence to his ad- vancement.

So. there we have figures without coun- terparts in the worlds production. But the most interesting fact Is. that the crops this year will be worth $500, 900 900 to 400.000.000 more than they were in 1902.
 We have great storms. Floods wash out thousands of square miles of land. Millions in crops are destroyed. The losses seem staggering. Noah's flood grows small in its financial damages.
 And yet so great is the country, so vast are it's interests, and so universally dis tributed its crops. that the years figures are increased.
 On top of it all the American farmer stands. He is king.

It is no small fact which was recently stated at the Farmers National Congress in these words:
 "The application of scientific methods mas enabled the American farmer not only to prevent the deterioration of the virgin soil which made this country the worlds greatest producer but an intelli- gent understanding of that soil and it's capabilities, coupled with the use of new machinery and new methods. enables him to make its product of more value to him than ever before The man who in 1887 gave up one bushel out of every six of his wheat to pay transportation from Chicago to New York, now gets the same transportation for one bushel out of ev- cry sixteen"
 There are numerous problems that con- front the farmer today. He is solving most of them by more active interest in politics. He wants a ship canal across the isthmus in order that the market for his productions may be extended He would like to see American products go abroad carried on American ships so that the money he pays on freight may come to his own country.
 Doubtless, his greatest difficulty is re- liance and intelligent labor. This he seeks in every section of the land. Some- times he advertises for 1t, as was re- gently seen in Kansas, where cry was sent to the East for more men to gather in the harvests. He looks to the future, when the farm will be more attractive to healthy workers than the crowded streets of the cities. and he is improving conditions so rapidly that he may see this come to pass before many years.
 Lastly, the farmer is a thorough-going patriot. He feeds and clothes us, he wins our wars. he supports our churches and school houses, and he supplies the men who shape the destinies of our country.
 Search the biographies of the nation, and you will find that most of the men who have achieved greatness were either farmers or sons of farmers.

TALE OF THE LOVER WHO

once upon time there lived in the
town of Hazel Green, which is the
metropolis of Rowan county, a fedg-
ling of the name of Abner Tuthill.
sAbner was what women of maturity,
with daughters to spare, call a per-
fectly grand person. That is, he had
set ways, worked like a dog for a liv-
Ing, saved his wages, taught Bible
class, sang in the choir, Clipped in
whenever the foreign mission basket
was passed around, and did not use
cuss words or tobacco or listen to the
men tell naughty stories.
"a While Abner was perfectly good and
pure. he was not the least bit narrow
minded or unreasonable. Not at all
SO. He simply believed in drawing the
llnetat the proper place. That was all.
Attic he was bitterly opposed to
round dances, he hadn't the slightest
objection to a quadrille. And While he
felt in his heart that it was exceeding
ly wicked to play euchre, he was just
that liberal-minded that he did not
disapprove of a game Of smut if it
was not allowed to last one minute af-
ter IL, if played on Saturday night.
Neither did he object to home made
Blackberry Cordial, but, of course, he
knew 1t was a great sin to even taste

off in stores or saloons, but he was
broad enough to take a chance on a
piece of Fancy Work If the entire
proceeds went to the church.
Abner was head clerk in the gen
eral store run by Philpott, Hargis &
Snodgrass, and was so popular with
everybody that the other clerk really
had nothing to do but sweep out the
store, trim the lamps, wipe mold off
the ShnaS ND a

day rush, when, of course, it was sim

wouldn't surprise them at all to see
Philpott, Hargis &, Snodgrass go to

into his head to quit them. But they
argued that he wouldn't do that, for
he had been with them ever since

Her mother will be recalled as

Abner was perfectly devoted to
Beatrice, and showed it in the incest
kind Of ways. He saved every blessed
tobacco tag and cigarette coupon that
came to the store for her, gave her all
the empty glass top handkerchief
boxes, called upon her every night
in the week and took her walking in
the cemetery on Sunday afternoons.
For a birthday present he gave her
a manicure set which he had to send
all the way to Bridgeport Connec-
ticut, for, and which could. not have
cost a: cent less than six dollars, for
each piece had a real cellu1oid handle.
To Abner's way Of thinking there
was but one girl in all the world who
was perfectly beautiful and really
worth having. That girls name was
Beatrice. Of course, he was willing
to admit that there were other nice
young ladies, but somehow there was
a something or other about. Beatrice
which made her ever so aWfully low
able. He didn't know himself exactly
what it was. but it was, and that was
all he needed to know.
Well. to get to the point, Abner
saved his money until he was strong
enough to go into business for him
self. And as he calculated that there
was more room for new store in
New York city than there was in
Hazel Green, he pulled up stakes and
made for the big town.
1t was agreed between he and .Bea-
trlce, that as soon as, he. got everything
