WHY APPENDICITIS?

Why is appendicitis so common to-
day.
Because we have got into the pernic-
ious habit of eating too fast.
DR.. Curtis, the great authority on
this disease, says: appendicitis often
follows the eating of very hasty, or
particularly large or indigestible meal. =
After carelessly following a foolish
custom, you can ensure your safety by
taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
1t is an accepted, scientific truth,
which admits of no dispute, that if you
will only keep your digestive apparatus
in good order, you will never suffer
from this dread disease, which, at best,
means a weakening operation, with long
weeks wasted in bed, and big doctors
and surgeons bills to pay as souvenirs.
Keep your appendix in health by the
proper use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's, whenever you have laid yourself
open to danger by overeating, and upon
the least sign of stomach or intestinal
trouble, for otherwise, at any time, this
dangerous disease may lay you low
The curative influence of this great
medicine is quickly shown in the gen
tie, soothing effect it has on all inflam-
ed conditions of any part of the diges-
tive tract.
Stuart's DYSPEPSIA Tablets tone all
these parts up to a proper condition of
perfect health, and regulate their func-
lions into proper working state.
They also make away with all the
causes of irritation, Inflammation or
indigestion, by helping to dissolve, d.
gest and assimilate or put to proper
use all the food which is lying around
in odd corners of your digestive appar-
atus, fermenting, rotting and curdling,
like SO much garbage in a dirty sink.
In these natural and perfectly SIM
pie ways. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
restore all sufferers, from any form of
dyspeptic trouble, to health
They are safe and reliable. They
never fail to relieve and cure, quickly
and permanently.
Use them, and you need never worry
about your appendix vermiformix-

September and up to October 20.
Should this rate of increase of re
ceipts continue, as is quiet certain, the
deficit eff July and August, so alarming
to the judge would be wiped out dur
ing the year. The student of govern
ment finance understands perfectly
that expenses are heaviest at the be-
ginning of the fiscal year and that a
deficit for the first months is to be
expected and is no evidence that it will
continue through the months to fol-
low.
eff Judge Parker would apply to
the treasury departme for informa-
ton as to the methods of government
busin ess and the condition of the pub
lie finances he would get prompt and
accurate information and avoid the
embarrassm of being led into very
palpable errors.

The Parsimony of wealth.

Upon the occasion OF the presenta-
ton of an expensive loving cup recent
ly to a New York merchant who was
celebrating the semicentennial ami
versary of his entry into business the
recipient gave to the donors his EN-
ployees. advice on how to accumulate
wealth. Many Of those present had
been identified with the firm headed
by the cup receiver upward of a quar-
ter Of n century.
CrGsus dilated in eXtenso on the i'm
portance Of observing frugality in
small things, especially until the nu-
cleus of a fortune had been estab-
lished He instanced as object lessons
two points in his career. When incan-
descent mantles were introduced the
magnate hesitated about adopting
them in the counting room because Of
the expense involved Only when it
was demonstrated that economy could
be effected would he apply tNem to
gas jets. During the Spanish war he
paid the help in cash to save the cost
of the revenue stamp tax. whereas for
merly and since check payments We're

The black silk standby invented
various minor changes for itself in the
way of trimmings of silk or "bugle"
fringe, or lace, or a lattice of velvet
ribbon, when not depending for orna-
mentatiOn upon its own shining folds,
with a lace collar and "undersleeves"
as accessories.
1t rustled into church in winter un-
der thick warm shawls pinned deco
rously with chained twin shawl pins.
and in summer under lace shawls that
persistently slid off the slick shoulders.
1t put on white tie and danced at
weddings, and black tie and wept at
funerals. Under a protecting apron it
hustled about at family reunions and
birthday celebrations, and presided at
hospital dinner tables and got taken
off as soon as the company was gone.
1t got itself handed down to a second
generation even, and herOically stood
Il sponge bath of cold coffee and the
warm attentions of a flatiron, and was
useful in all its shapes, and looked well
as long as there was scrap of it left.
And so the black silk dress came on
down on its honOrcd way through the
years. and whether the goods were
repped or plain or seeded or grOsgrain
IA name to conjure whit lent itself
obligingly to the more frequent
changes Of fashion. 1t was tucked and
plated and shirred and rutiled and cut
into bias folds and loaded with jet
passementerie, but always it inspired
profound respect, whether in the best
dress or only the second best.
But as time elapsed the more snowy
colored silks came to the front and
shouted themselves into notice, and
the black silk dress was shown into a
quiet back seat The question was

Artificial Diamonds.

The manufacture of artificial dia-
monds by the aid of the electric fur
mace has been one of the goals of cleo
tro chemists since Moissan began his
important experiments involving the
production of high temperatures. This
distinguished scientist, it will be re-
membered, was able to crystalline car
bon and to obtain true diamonds. but
they were of microscopic size. and at
tempts to produce larger crystals were
fruiuess. Recent experiments with
the same purpose have been carried
on in Germany by Ludwig. and while
they did not result in diamonds of COM
mercial size nevertheless they con-
tirmed Moissans theory that the car
bon crystals known as diamonds are
the result of extreme temperature,
