THEY ACTUALLY DO THE WORK.
Food Eaten is Worthless Unless Di- F gested--Some stomachs Must
 Have Help.

Food. taken into, the Stomach which, from the nature of the food or the con- dition of the stomach, is not digested, ts worse than no food at 9lL This is o true statement as far as 1t goes and a great many dyspepticB go only this far with their reasoning. They argue with themselves that because their stomachs do not do the work given them, they must be given less work; in other words they must be starved. It would be just as sensible for Q business man who ia unable to do all his own work to cut down his business to his own capacity as 1t is for a man to starve himself to re- lleve his stomach. The 4ensible business man employs help and goes forward with his business. Likewise the sensi- ble dyspeptic will employ help for his stomach and give his body proper nour- lshment.
 stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually do the work assigned to them. They relieve weak and overburdened stomachs of a great portion of digestive action. Their component parts are identical with those of the digestive fluids and secretlons of the stomach and they simply take up the grind and carry on the work just the same as good, strong, healthy stomach would do it.
 On this account Istuart's Dyspepsia. Tablets are perfectly natural in their ac- tion and effects. They do not cause any unnatural or violent disturbance in the stomach or bowels. They themselves digest the food and supply the system with all the Hourishment contained in what is eaten and carry out Natures plans for the sustanance and mainte- nance of the body.
 How much more sensible is this method than that employed by many sufferera from weak stomachs. By this means the body and brain get all the good. nutri. tious food they need and the man ia properly nourished and equipped to carrv on his work and perform his dutiea Ha could not possibly be in proper worlrins condition by starving himself or arnnIov. ing some new fangled, insufficient fooa that does not contain enough nufrirnart for a year old baby A stronr Srnsy,g doing strong work must be property fed and this applies to the brain as well as the body.
 stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. by reliev. ing the stomach of its work, enable if to recuperate and regain Its normal health and strength. Nature repairs the worn and wasted tissues just as she heals ana knits the bone of broken limb. which is of course not used during the process of repair.
 stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are for sais by all druggists at 90 cents a box and they are the one article that the drur- Eist does not try to sell something in the place of that's ''1ust as good" Their unqualified merit ana success and tha universal demand for them has placed them within the neaeh of every ono.

Ragtime Barred at St. Louis. Golfers Weekly.

After extended deifberation and pumer- ous conferences. the officials Of the st. Louis Exposition have decided against the ragtime song. or even the rastime music without words to accompany it. The musical director of the Expcsition, and the chairmAn of the musical pro gram, have issued an edict that all songs, either in the State pavilions. Festival Hall. or along the Pike. shall be strictly classical and modern if possible. but all element of the ragtinhe music hall style of singing shall ba eliminated
 T have no personal feeling of enmity against rastime," says the musical dirsc- tor, "but think too much of it ie a bad thing. believe the people like good music. There are many beautiful and popular selections from the ciasalcs Be- cause music can be called classic does not necessarily imply that 1t hould be heavy or generally unattractive. Some of the most popular music of today is the lighter music of the classics"
 The chairman of the musical program says that one reason the ragtirne tune was eliminated from the Exposition was that, like the measles. the air that Is given sentiment in these tunes seems contagious. and the people would wish for nothing else. once the ragtime tunes began.
 The decision of the Exposition oficials to exclude ragtime has created Q furore along the Pike, where it had been ar ranged to have some very new and up- to-date songs with ragtime air about them. The Pike concessicnaires have

No reader of the United States has more reputation at the South than has Mrs. Ida Benfey Judd. Mrs. Judd is well known in Montgomery where she was on her latest visit the guest of Miss Fannie Grifin.
 As Ida Benfey she has delighted audi snces in two continents She has read in London before royalty and has held au- diences spelI-bound in every city and many a village of the Union.
 Princess Christian. sister of Edward VII, Is an especial admirer of Mrs. Judd s inimitable art in telling American stories.
 Mrs. Judd is one of the most fascinating personalities on, the platform. She radi- ates good feeling. good heart. good hope, good cheer She lifts her audience with the buoyancy of her great and noble per- sonality and holds them and sways them from the very first word that she speaks with a genius that is inborn and an art that is perfection.
 To hear her at her best, hear her whe, she tells a room packed full of newsboys the story of "GEipsey," or when at the Bowery Mission she tells stories tha' move that strange audience, all men, Bow cry men, coming whence. going whither to laughter and tears. In these stories too, she puts little moral, e bit of up lift hidden away In the folds of the story a little bit that like spray of layende. makes fragrant the whole.
 It was my good fortune to hear her with many other of the most notable musicians and singers of New York, at the Tuesday concert at the Bowery mis- sion.
 Miss Emplgh Merwyn Is a young Yves tern writer who now makes her home in New York. Her sketches of child life in the city are fast winning her fame.

FEMALE DISORDERS.
These Troubles Are Nearly Always Caused by Torpid Liver, Poor Digestion and irregular
 Bowel Movements.
To Permanently Care Thesn the Liver, Stomach and Bowels Must
 Be Put Right.

It is . fact well known to medical men that very large majority of the weak ness, irregularities and disorders pecul. lar to women are due to a torpid liver and constipated condition of the bowels. In men a,diseased liver produces kidney trouble; in women the genital organs being more delicate than the kidneys are first affected. the disease spreading later to the kidneys. To all women who suffer irregular, excessive or suppressed znenses, 1eucorrhea (whites) womb trouble, pain or irritation we say Prickly Ash Bitters offers you speedy and per manent relief. It puts the liver in wig orous condition, empties and cleauses the bowels and tones up the female organs. With the liver and bowels &C., tive and healthy those distressing bearing down side and back pains, spells of weakness, heart throbbing, faintness, nausea will quickly disappear, giving place to feeling of vigor and buoyancy of spirits. The eye is frightened. the complexion Is cleared, the whole body strengthened and improved, thus chang ing a weak, nervous, Respondent woman into one of sparkling health and cheer fulness. Prickly Ash Bitters is in this respect boon to suffering womanhood. As a kidney remedy it has merit of the highest order. The experience of years has proven that 1t is more successful in the mild or chronic forms of kidney dis ease than any of the widely advertised remedies of the present day.
