HALF-BREEDS sHIFTLESS.
The Ojibways have a large reservation,
with schools and churches at Garden River,
which is station on the Canadian Pacific
Railway. twenty miles from Desbarats.
About 1900 Indians live on the reservation.
Half are full-bloods and the remainder are
half-breeds. The latter are shiftless and
immoral, rule, but the full-bloods take
good care of themselves and families. Mr.
Burton does not train half-breeds for his
play, except in rare instances, as the full
bloods make better actors and are more re-
liable than their half French relatives.
Persons who visit Mackinac island and
who wish to see Hiawatha this year, must
go soon, as the season closes early in Sep
TENDER. Desbarats can be reached from
Indianapolis in two ways-by rail and
steamer. The Panhandle and the Grand
Rapids & Indiana Railways run
through trains from St Louis. In
dianapols, Cincinnati and Louisville
during the season. The train that
leaves here i'm the evening arrives at Macki-
nav City before noon the next day and
passengers are ferried to Mackinaw island
in time for dinner The train is composed
of nearly all sleeping cars A dining car is
attached, and its service is as good as

train. From Mackinaw island steamer

cursion steamers run from the $500 TO
Hiawatha camp down the beautiful st.
Mary's river, with its thousands of rock
ribbed islands. The play is given on arrival
of excursionists. People from this Sec
tion of the country who wish to avoid q
steamer ride may go to Mackinaw City via
the Pennsylvania, thence by ferry across
the straits to st. Ignace, and from there
by rail to the $780, changing cars at the

LOOKS WEIRD AT NIGHT.
When Hiawatha is performed at night a
huge fire of resinous wood is kept
burning on a float back of the
stage. There also is fire in the center
of the stage, others ON the mainland on
each side of the seats and another at the
tepee of the arrow maker across little
bay The fires give weird effect to the
performance, and also make it quite spec
tacuar The light from the fires some
times is strong enough to make the islands
a mile distant across the channel visible
even though the night be dark.

THEY ACTUALLY
Do THE WORK
Food Eaten Is Worthless Unless Di-
gested-Some Stomachs Must
Have 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 it goes and
a great many dyspeptics go only this
far with their reasoning. They argue
with themselves that because their
stomachs do not do the work given
them, they must be given less work;
in other words, they must be starved.
1t would be just as sensible for bust
ness man who is unable to do all his
own work to cut down his business
to his own capacity as it is for man
to starve himself to relieve his stom
ach. The sensible business man en-
ploys help and goes forward with his
business Likewise the sensible dys-
ach and give his body proper nourish-
mant.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned to them. They
achs 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
Tablets are perfectly natural in their
action and effects. They do not cause
any unnatural or violent disturbance
in the stomach or bowels. They them
selves digest the food and supply the
system with all the nourishment con-
tanned 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 thew need and the man
is properly nourished and equipped to
carry on his work and perform his
duties. He could not possibly be in
proper working condition by starving
himself or employing some new
tangled, insufficient food that does not
contain enough nutriment for a year.

work must be properly fed. and this
