MINERS ARE EAGER
TO REWARD MITCHELL
Regret Organizer Should Re
fuse Purse OF $4,000.

WILKESBARRE, Pa. Feb. I9-The
intimation that President Mitchell. of
the United Mine Workers. will not ac-
cept the purse Of $4,000 which the an
thracite mine workers proposed to give
him is bad news to the miners. They had
been arranging for the last month to
raise the fund. and many meetings were
held to discuss the plans 1t had been
arranged to assess each mine worker 81
The gift was to show the miners appre-
citation Of the great work that their pres
ident had done in thoroughly organizing
them and fighting for the betterment OF
their condition.
District Board Member SchIosser said
that President Mitchell intimated TO him
a few days ago that he would not accept
a purse. and National Secretary Wilson
is quoted as saying that President
Mitchell. who called off two similar
movements. will refuse this offer
What will now be done by the mine
workers cannot be decided until meet
ings are held. The men feel that they
should present Mr.. Mitchell with some
substantial token of their gratitude. and
their hope was that he would use the
$4,000 they expected to raise to pur-
chase a property at his home in Spring
Valley.
Besides this general movement of the
anthracite workers, there is a plan on
foot among the Polish, Lithuanian and
Hungarian societies Of the State to raise
large purse as evidence OF apprecia-
ton OF these bodies for the work Presi-
dent Mitchell has done in behalf OF the
mine workers of these races, IL being
argued that their organization as
union has been Of great benefit to them
financially and socially.

THINK 1T OVER.
Something You Can See in Amy Res

NduAaAAA VI SdAC-
\ physician puts the query: Have you
never noticed in any large restaurant
at lunch or dinner time the large num-
Der OF hearty, vigorous old men at the
tables; men whose ages run from sixty
10 eighty years; many of them bald and
all perhaps gray, but none OF them
feeble or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so common
as 90 have escaped your observation or
comment, but nevertheless II is an OBJ
ject lesson which means something.
II you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating you will observe
that they are not munching bran crack
ers nor gingerly picking their way
through a menu card of new-fangled
health foods. on the contrary they seem
TO prefer a juicy roast of beef, a prop
erly turned loin of mutton, and even
the deadly bTOiled lobster is not alto
gether ignored.
The point OF all this is that a vigor-
Gus old age depends upon good diges-
ton and plenty Of wholesome food and
not upon dieting and an endeavOr 10 live
upon bran crackers D.
There is a certain class OF food cranks
who seem to believe that meat cof-
Zee, and many other good things are
rank pOisonS. but these cadaverous
sickly looking individuals are a walk
in5 condemnation Of their own theories.
The matter in a nutshell is that II
tive juices in sufficient quantity any
wholesome food will be properly di-
gested: If the stomach does not do So
and certain foods cause distress one or
two Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
each meal will remove all difficulty be-
cause they supply just what every weak
stomach lacks. pepsin. hydro ChlOric
acid. diastase and nux.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not act
upon the bowels. and in fact are not
strictly a medicine. as they act almost
entirely upon the food eaten, digesting
IL thoroughly and thus gives a much
needed rest and giving an appetite for
the next meal.
OF people who travel nine out OF ten
use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets knowing
them to be perfectly safe 20 use at
any time and also having found out by
experience that they are safeguard
against Indigestion in any form. and
eating as they have to. at all hours and
all kinds of food. the travelling public
for years have pinned their faith to
Stuart's Tablets.
All druggists sell them at so cents for
full sized packages. and any druggist
from Maine 10 California. ~ his opinion
were asked. will say that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets is the most popular and
successful remedy for any stomach
trouble.
