gress. His head was bowed down upon his hands,
seemingly in meditation / hestated to disturb him
and about to withdraw when he arose and
said:
well my boy are you trying to investigate this
machine?
Il told him that was. and asked him II he could
explain it to me, and he proceeded to do so. very
clearly and infinitely. He went all over it and all
around it. and finally he said:
How many yoke Of oxen. my boy, do you think
it takes to drag this machine?'

Well said he they haul it with eight yoke,
but when heavy ditching is to be done they gen.

HOW TO Do 1T.

If there is one thing more, than all
others that will give a man forlorn
and friendless appearance and make
him morbid and cranky and disagree
able. that thing is dyspepsia 1t makes
one forget his friends and become
morose and irritable. He is so wrapped
up in his own misery that he is 1ncos1-
sidarate of everyone else. Relieved of
this terrible and depressing ailment, he
again becomes a good fellow and
man amon= men.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are be-
yond question the most effective and
popular remedy ever offered to the
sufferers of this terrible disease The
thousands and thousands of cures they
have brought about and the enormous
increase of their sales fully attest the
truth of this statement.
They are. above all. a natural rem
edy. They possess exactly the same
properties that the gastric juices and
other digestive fluids of the stomach
possess and they actually do the diges-
tive work CT the stomach and anahle

turbance in the digestive organs. They
prevent any fermentation of the food
which causes sour stomach. In fact,
under their influence the subject for

resulting chcerfulness presents a great
contrast to his former detection.
Millions of boxes of Stuart's DysDeD

are but in the dawn of their popularity
Every mail brings letters of thanks
giving from grateful ones who have
been cured of this terrible disease. The
following is one of hundreds received
each week:

aged with an eye single to the benefit
of the Cuban people. Under the super

an opportunity to carry on their own

was built up, the work being done with
such signal ability, integrity and sue

more favorable conditions than has ever
