HOW TO DRINK MILK. Why 1t Disaqrees With Some People

When one needs a reviying stimulant after exhaustion nothing can rival the effects of hot milk slipped slowly.
 Some people say they cannot digest milk and these are the people who drink 1t down quickly so that the dig astive acids. in playing around it, form large curds which give trouble before tney can be absorbed.
 The right way is to sip the milk in small amounts so that each mouthful, as it de- scends into the stomach, Is surrounded by the gastric fluid. and when the whcie glossful is down the effect Is lha. of q spongy mass of curds, In and out oe which the keen gastric juices course, speedily doing their work of turning the curd i1- to peptones that the tissues can take up.
 To make sure of complete digestion take one or two of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets afterwards, as the pepsin ani diastase they contain increase the quantity and ef- ficiency of the gastric juices and supply the natural digestive ferments which all weak stomachs lack.
 Miss Anna Folger, professional nurse. speaking of the value of Stuarts Tablets in convalescence, says: Tn adult pn- tients recovering from severe illrcss, and especially In children. where milk dis agrees, one or two tablets overcome any difficulty and seem to strengthen the stomach in a remarkable short time myself have used them daily for years. when my own digestion has suff cred from the irregularities and loss of sleep con- sequent upon my occupation.
 Not only children and inva1iis but professional people and others whose meals are necessarily hurried or irregular will find Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets of the greatest value in keeping up the tone and <.ft tba ufa o1l
 They contain the active digestive Ger ments the lack of which is really the only cause of indigestion and stomach troubles. and the regular daily use of them after meals will probably cure any case of stomach trouble except such as arises from cancer or alteration
 Many druggists have said that they sell more Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets than all other stomach remedies combined.

Perfumes Liked by Horses.

However little credit a horse may
commonly receive for possessing del
icacy of scent, there are some per-
fumes grateful to him. Horse train
ers are aware Of the fact, and make
use of their knowledge in training
stubborn and apparently lntractable
animals. Many trainers have favor
lite perfumes, the composition of
which they keep secret, and it is the
possession of this means of appealing
to the horses aestheticism that ena-
bles SO many of them to accomplish
such wonderful results.

THE BEAUVOIR HOME.

Pearson, Miss, August Bird, 1908.
Editor Brandon News: I had not
intended to have any more to say
about the veteran question but Judge
NorIell asked me direct question
which seems to call for reply. He
asks if I would take one Of those old
soldiers into my home and support
him for $50 per month He then con-
tends that it cannot be done for that
but before closing his article gives us
the astonishing information that it
can be done for $3.50 Now when
the Judge makes up his mind as to
what it will CO t the State | will tell
linn what I will do.
We learn from zap there will be
six hundred old veterans who will
go to Beauvoir Now will zap please
tell us how many of that six hundred
would prefer to accept an adequate
pension and select their own homes
where they can be at liberty to do as
they please and not have to regulate
their daily habits to conform to strict
rules? -
But there will bessix hundred. Now
have made up list of the officers
and employees necessary for conducting
such an establishment and the probable
salaries of the same.
have tried to be entirely conser-
vative as I have no objection to the
home it that is the best place. I es-
innate there will be necessary 800 en-
ployes with salaries amounting to over
$l42, 600. These employees will all be
to feed and bed, to furnish with lights,
fuel and incidentals which will run
the account up to over $3.50, 900 before
the old veteran comes in for a cent.
That is what meant by the money
being squandred in fine salaries for
useless attaches. =
But this is not the beginning. Be-
fore those six hun 1red old veterans
and three hundred employees can be
housed, there must be vast additions
