in siA-story block on West 18th street
between 10th and 18th avenues, which
was damaged to the extent of $100, coo.
The gas remained in the tanks through

not only the gas tanks but adjoining

THEY ACTUALLY DO THE WORK.
Food Eaten is Worthless Unless Di.
sested-Some Stomachs Must Have
Help.

FOOD taken into the Stomach which,
from the nature of the food or the con-
clifton of the stomach. is not digested.
is worse than no food at all. This Is a
true statement as far as 1t goes and
great many dyspeptics go only this far
with their reasoning. They argue with
themselves that because their stom-
achs do not do the work given them,
they must be given less work; ain other
words they must be starved. 1t would
be Just as sensible for q business man
who is unable to do all his own work
to cut down his business to his own
capacity as it is for a man to starve
himself to relieve his stomach. The
sensible business man employs help
and goes forward with his business.
Likewise the sensible dyspeptic will
employ help for his stomach and give
his body proper nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned to them. They
relieve weak and Overburdened stOm-
achs Of q 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
tsIIy VII tue WI JuSt ohihC CD IA
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 punishment 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
rleans the body and brain get all the
good, nutritious food they need and the
man is properly nourished and
equipped to carry on his work and
perform his duties. He could not pos
sibly be in proper working condition by
starving himself or employing some
new tangled, insufficient food that does
not contain enough nutriment for a
year old baby. strong man doing
strong work must be properly fed and
this applies to the brain as well as the
body.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. by reliev-
i ing the stomach of its work. enable II
to recuperate and regain it's normal
health and strength. Nature repairs
the worn and wasted tissues just as
she heals and knits the bone Of a
broken limb, which is Of course not
used during the process Of repair.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at so cents a box
and they are the one article that the
! druggist does not try to sell something
in the place of that's "just as good
Their unqualified merit and success
and the universal demand for them has
placed them within the reach OF every

TRACK AND STABLE.

Charles Brown. of East Bucksport.
has fine three-year-old flly that he is
breaking this winter. She shows fine
speed.
Charles w. Day OF SSowhegan has
sold his promising black, three-year-old
gelding, Lang, to eX-Sheriff c. r.
Brown OF Bangor. Lang is one of the
best colts by Sterling and will doubt
less be heard from in the near future.
George w. Doore of Dover has a
promising piece OF horseflesh growing
up in the colt which he bought OF
Alfred II. Gray last fall. The colt is
eight months old, bay with black points
and steps off as Drettily as a veteran
racer. He is by Mallctt. dam Gloster
mare. and has good blood which is ex-
pccted to tell.
II. G. Rowe of Patten, has n splendid
horse in Bessie Wilkes, by Nelson
Wilkes. She stands ISL hands high
weighs $50 pounds. is Z years old, and
is Il darl. bay in color. Bessie is one of
the Drctticst little horses that one can
imagine. Her limbs are perfectly
moulded. and the intelligent head be-
speaks for her the qualities that go to
make up a perfect family horse. A
child can harness and drive her with
the utmost safety. Although not be-
ing driven OH any track to make 4
record, she can turn the corners with
the best of them.
f. C. McKechnie of North Arson has
Il few good horses. The best one is
perhaps a bay gelding by Nelson's
Wilkes: dam by Dictator; second dam
by Onward. This horse stands 15h
hands high and weighs $50. He is =
good bay in color. q handsome fellow
and can 90 a forty shot any time.
Then he has q brown mare by St
CrOx: dam by Electus. This mare
stands 15-21a hands high and weighs
1905 pounds. She is q fine driver, q
coed actor and a good all round horse
In fact she is what is called a high
actor and is a very stylish horse.
Beatrice, 2.1414. half-mile track, is
owned by Palmer Brothers of
Patten. Beatrice is today queen OF
Maine. having reeled off three
of the fastest heats of the
season of 1908, viz. 2.16 2.15H and 2.14A.
The last race that she made the mark
of ANA in, was a hot one, as she was
up against Such horses at lturla, 20,
LonSpoint, 2.10I, and Tony G. 21SH.
This is proof in abundance that the
fastest trotting mare in the State of
Maine stands in Patten today and it
would take large amount of cash to
move her. Palmer Brothers own other
good horses. among them being
Beatrice Greeley, the gamy little mare,
with the proud record of 214A to her
credit, Faith NJ. with a mark of 2.19A,
Princess, 2.27A. Erex Jumps. 231A.
