lOZenge form, pleasant to take, and
will preserve their good qualities in
definitely, whereas all liquid medi-
cines rapidly lose whatever good quail
tiles they may have had as soon as
uncorked and exposed to the air.
This preparation is called Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, and it is claimed
that one OF these Tablets or lczeEges
will digest from 300 to 1900 times its
own weight in meat, eggs and other
wholesome food. And this claim has
been proven by actual experiments in
the following manner. 4 hard-boiled
egg cut into small pieces was placed
in a bottle containing warn water
heated to ninety-eight degrees tor
blood heat; one of these Tablets was
then placed in the bottle and the pro-
per temperature maintained for three
hours and a half, at the end Of which
time the egg was as completely di-
gested as it would have been in a
healthy stomach. This experiment
was undertaken to demonstrate that
what it would do in the bottle it
would also do in the stomach, hence
it's unquestionable value in the cure
of dyspepsia and weak digestion. Very
few people are free from some form of
indigestion, but scarcely two Will have
the same symptoms. Some will suffer
most from distress after eating,
bloating from gas in the stomach and
bowels, others have acid dyspepsia or
heartburn, others palpitation or head
aches, sleeplessness, pains in chest
and under shoulder-blades, extreme
nervousness as in nervous dyspepsia,
but they all have the same cause
failure to properly digest what is
eaten. The stomach must have rest
and assistance, and Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets give it both, by digesting the
food for it and in a short time it is
restored to it's normal action and
vigor. At the same time the Tablets
are so harmless that child can take
them with benefit. This new prepara-
ton has already made many sston,sh-
ing cures, as for instance, the follow
ing:

DAN DAILY AND THE EDITOR.
Comedian Had Rather the Best OF
Short Controversy.


Dan DAILY in his younger days es-
sayed to write fiction, and went to
the editor Of Boston paper with his
first effusion. The editor criticised
the work severely and advised the
future comedian to study Nathaniel
Hawthorne.
The vein of humor peculiar to
DAILY had developed even at that early
date. He said rehectively:
IF my story were printed II would
measure about half column, would
it not?"

wondering what that had to do with
1t.

One OF the oldest institutions in the
city of Melbourne, Australia, known
as the eight o'clock rush" is in dan
ger of extinction. For half a century
a phllanthropic restaurant proprietor
has been giving a free meal at 8
o'clock every evening to newly ar
rived immigrants or respectable per
sons who were temporarily down on
their luck" No professional loafers
or chronically unemployed were en-
couraged. The attendance averaged
about hundred, and every Mel
bourne journalist considered 1t his
duty to write a description of the
scene at least once in his career. The
proprietor of the restaurant is now
retired from business. He is said to
have received legacies from people
whom he had thus befriended and

acid while playing on the floor and
his stomach was so badly burned II
was feared he would not live for he
could not eat ordinary foods. The
mother says i'm telling Of the case
1T was all two doctors could do to
save him as 1t burnt his throat and
stomach so bad that for two months
after he took the poison nothing
would lay on his stomach. Finally !
took him into the country and tried
new milk and that was no better for
him. His Grandma finally suggested
Grape Nuts and / am thankful | adopt

better right away and would not eat
anything else He commenced to get
heshy and his cheeks like red roses
and now he is entirely well.
II took him to Matamoras on visit
and every place we went to stay to
eat he called for Grape-Nuts and !
would have to explain how he came

At the mention of the home for which

stopped and dragged violently from be-

lid of which she threw open. A dress

The next day Thorpe took the train
north. By the time he had bought the
sixteen forties constituting the section,
searched out a dozen witnesses to the
theft and spent a week with the Mar
quette expert in looking over the
ground he had fallen into the swing of
work again. His experience still ached,
but duly.
Only now he possessed no interests
outside of those in the new country.
no affections save the half protecting.
good natured comradeship with Wal
lace. the mutual self restraint respect
that subsisted between Tim Shearer
and himself and the dumb, unreason-
ing dog liking he shared with Injun
Charley. His eye became clearer and
steadier. his methods more simple and
direct. The taciturnity of his mood re-
doubled in thickness. He was less
charitable to failure on the part Of sub
ordinates. And the new firm on the
Ossaw1namakee prospered
