distinctly and proudly remember was
how her grandfather fought in the
battle of Bennington under Gen Stark.
She would tell us with tears in her

of the General-"Th foe and field is

Of society. The fact is, II would be rather
difficult to tell Just who to plan on at pres
ent, for its's too early in the season for
the novelty to have worn off or for any
definite plans for spending the time, so So
ciety is not committing itself. and the
hostesses Of the week have very discreetly
declined to give the personnel Of their

her guests we're about to depart, being
unable to crowd her entertainment in on
Monday or Tuesday, sent out her cards
for a later day II was to be a card party
and she was indebted to quite a few, so
when IL came to issuing the invitations
many OF those whose church Affiliations
made their acceptance doubtful were In
cluded-because. When the responses had
all been received the woman was not a
little surprised to find that the accept

posed to consider Lent and the regrets
from those upon whom the season imposes

You Can Try It for Yourself and
Prove II.
One grain of the active principle in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 5000
grains of meat, eggs or other wholesome
food, and this claim has been proven by
actual experiment, which anyone can per-
form for himself in the following manner:
Cut hard boiled eggs into very small pieces,
as 1t would be II masticated, place the egg
and two or three of the tablets In a bottle
or jar containing warm water heated to 9S
degrees the temperature OF the body, and
keep it at this temperature for three and
one-half hours, at the end of which time
the egg will be as completely digested as II
would have been IN the healthy stomach
of a hungry boy.
The point Of this experiment is that what
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do to the
egg in the bottle IL will do 10 the egg or
meat in the stomach, and nothing else will
rest and invigorate the stomach so safely
and effectually. Even a little child can
take Stuart's Tablets with safety and bene-
1T II its digestion is weak, and the thou
sands Of cures accomplished by their regu-
lar daily use are easily explained when Il
is understood that they are composed OF
vegetable essences, aseptic pepsin, diastase
and Golden Seal, which mingles with the
food and digests It thoroughly, giving the
overworked stomach a chance to recuperate.
Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither do
pills and cathartic medicines, which simply
~irritate and infame the intestines.
When enough food is eaten and promptly
digested there will be no constipation, nor,
in fact. will there be disease Of any kind,
because good digestion means good health
in every organ.
The merit and success Of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets are worldwide and they are
sold at the moderate price OF zoe for full
sized package in every drug store In the
United States and Canada. as well as in
