DO SOMETHING FOR SOMEBODY.

DO SOMETHING FOR SOMEBODY.
Do something for somebody, somewhere,
While Jogging along lifes road;
Help some one to carry his burden,
And lighter will grow your load.
Do something for somebody gladly,
Twill sweeten your every care;
II sharing the sorrows of others,
Your own are less hard to bear.
Do something for somebody. striving
To help where the way seems long;
And the homeless hearts that langulsh
Cheer up with little song.
Do something for somebody always,
Whatever may be your creed;-
There's nothing on earth can help you
So much as kindly deed.

A certain manufacturer Of wood pulp
noticed great clouds Of sulphur float
ing away from the smokestacks of the
nickel smelling works, and as he
needed sulphur, he set some chemists

ing It,. They discovered a way to do
This, and then he began smelling nickel

tanned from the smoke, combined with
limestone and water, he makes all the

Before the last meeting Of the Della
ware Valley Ornitlological Club Mr.,
William Bailey spoke Oh the methods
to be employed to attract native wild
birds around country homes. Mr.,
Bailey thought that people were too
willing to accept the dlctum that Eng
lish sparrows, with their noisy and
Quarrelsome ways, were in entire pos
session, and It was useless to attempt
TO attract native wild birds. He point
cd out that such birds rs blue jays and
wrens might be persuaded to take up
their abode about the house, If proper
quarters were provided for them. In
the first place, openings to bird boxes
intended for wrens must be mNde
small enough to keep the sparrows out.
Secondly, it was necessary to bear III
mind that the birds desired were wild
birds, and wild birds are not attracted
by ella boratcly-turretcd pagodas so
much as simple, homcly structures-a
tomato can with Il hole in it, for in
stance. Another powerful factor in
repelling the wild birds was the habit
of keeping country grounds in such
perfect order. Closely cropped grass
and symmetrically trimmed bushes
were not nearly so attractive to wilt
birds as grounds and shrubbery which
are more true to nature. If you want
natures cherubs, be natural.

Hartnett's Thermometrioal Report
YOU WILL BE ALL
SMILES AGAIN
Forget Your Stomach and You'll
Have Santa Claus Face.
HOW TO Dor.

If there is one thing more than all
others that will give a man a forlorn and
friendless appearance and make him NOR
bid and cranky and disagreeable, that
thing is dyspepsia. 1t makes one forget
his friends and become morose and irri-
table. He is 50 wrapped up in his own
misery that he is inconsiderate Of every
one else. Relieved of this terrible and
depressing ailment, he again becomes
good fellow and man among men.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are beyond
question the most effective and popular
this terrible disease. The thousands and
thousands of cures they have brought
about and the enormous increase of their
...s:s ..4.y ATTEST the truth of this state
mn--
They are, above ALL natural remedy.
They possess exactly the same properties
that the gastric juices and other diges-
tive fluids of the stomach possess, and
they actuallyr1lo the digestive work of
the stomach and enable that organ to rest
and recuperate and become sound and
well. They act in a mild, natural man
ner and cause no disturbance in the di-
gestive organs. They prevent any fer
mentation of the food which causes sour
stomach In fact, under their influence
the subject forgets that he has stomach
and his, resulting cheerfulness presents a
great contrast to his former detection.
Millions of boxes of Stuart's Dyspepsia,
Tablets are sold annually and they are
but in the dawn of their popularity!
Every mail brings letters of thanksgiving
from grateful ones who have been cured
Of this terrible disease The following is,
one of hundreds received each week:
Rev. j. r. Hoag, Of Wymore, Neb.,
writes: For six years / have been troub-
led with dyspepsia. Last fall became
very much alarmed at some symptoms of
heart trouble and~came to belive there
was a sympathetic relation between the
two diseases, or rather that the stomach
trouble was the cause of the heart dis
turbance. I hit upon Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets for remedy and invested dol
lar and half for three boxes which last
ed ME three months, and I can eat any
kind of food l want and haea good vigor
GUS appetite. Although | am now II
years old, new feel perfectly well and
without being requested by anyone l

the virtues of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets"
