Gces not get blue just because things

another. He always looks forward
and keeps on hustling. man with
his health and faculties has plenty of
opportunities and the man who gives
up or even feels like it has either a
small nature or some physical weak
ness.
Dyspepsia certainly puts the best
OF men out of condition for work Of
any kind. You cannot blame the dy-
spepttc for getting blue The very
nature of his disease is most deDreSs-
ing and calculated TO deprive him of
ambition, energy and hope. There is
hope for him, however, certain and
sure.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are re-
Cognized throughout the length and
breadth Of the land as the one cure
that's safe and sure. Their unbound
ed populality-Tes from the
thousands ana thousands Of cures they
have effected, prove beyond the shad-
ow of a Count their grea tness as n
cure. Wherein lies their GREATNESS?
In the very fact that they are Ma
lures own simple remedy They do
the exact work in exactly the same
way thai the digestive fluids Of the
stomach do because they are compos-
ed of exactly the same elements and
possess the same properties. They
relieve the weak and worn ont stom-
ach of it's burden Of digestion and
permit it without let or hindrance to
rest and grow sound and Well. The
stomach will get well quick enough
in it's own natural way if it is let alone
That is what %tuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets do. They not only let it alone
themselves but make the food taken
into the stomach do the same.
You can satisfy Yourself of the
truth Of this statement by putting the
food you would eat into a glass jar
with sufficient water and one of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. The pro-
cess Of digestion will be taken up and
carried )out Just as the gastric Juice
and other digestive fluids would do Il.
Their action is natural and they cause
no disturbance in he digestive organs.
IN fact you forget YOU have q stem

So mild and natural is the operation.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature,
but few realize its value when taken
into the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of It the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and iltestines and
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal SWeetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectuaIly clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth ard further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
dSinfectS the mouth and throat from
the poison Of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another but probably the
best charcoal and the most for the
money is in Stuarts Charcoal Lozen-
geS, they are composed of the finest
powdered Willow charcoal, and other
harmless antiseptics in tablet form
or rather in the form of large. pleas
ant tasting IoZenges, the charcoal be-
ing mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved cOndi-
ton of the general health: better
complexion, sWeeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of ii is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit
A Buffalo physician in speaking Of
the benefits OF charcoal, says: 81
advise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to
all patients suffering from gas in the
stomach and bowels: and to clear the
complexion. and purify the breath,
mouth and throat: / also believe the
liver is greatly benefited by the daily
use OF them; they cost but twenty
five cents a box at drug stores, and
although in some sense a patent
preparation, yet | believe get more

The Servant Problem.

1t was noted in these columns some
time ago that school is to be eStab-
lished in Richmond for the training
of white girls for domestic work. and
the idea appears to be excellent. We
hope this experiment will succeed and
that it will spread to other sections
In the meantime what are our women
to do? The colored servants are ite-
coming more worthless and unreliable
every day. In fact they are the mas
tiers of the situation and do the die
tating to the lady of the house. They
make the price and attach the c1ndi-
lions; straightway they violate their
own contract, and go to the funeral
instead of to the kitchen on the verT
day that company is expected. The
more their employers give the more
they demand and their service, poor al
best, has become almost wholly worth
less. We have observed one thing,
and that is that the housekeepers who
have the least trouble are those who
can go into their kitchens. themselves
and get meal quicker than the best
negro woman in the neighborhood,
and who, rather than be harrassed
out of her life, will not hesitate to do
it. The negro admires independence
as much as anybody, and the only
people they really respect are those
who can get along very well without
them. 1t is a peculiar trait of negro
nature that he loves to hang around
toe the mark. Being good to
him and showing him special
favor is the Surest way to for
felt his respect and lose his service.
The Northern women who come South
are loudest in their condemnation Of
the negro women as house servants
because they feed high. work light
and pay we'll" They soon learn that
the negro is not what he is cracked

lies in it's simplicity and naturalnesS
1t is story of New England life and
runs as smoothly as the "Sunnybrool"

and noble womanhood. This little
