WASHINGT0N'S AIDE.
Monument Erected in Honor OF Aaron
KitcheIl.

KitcheIl.
The following interesting item con-
cerning the Kitchell monument was
written for " The Madison Eagle by
Mrs A. e. Kitchell, Of Brooklyn.
" There has been erected in old his
toric Hanover Church yard, monu-
ment in honor of Aaron Kitchell, by
one Of his descendants. He deserves
our honorable remembrance, as he was
one Of the patriot leaders Of New Jer-
sey, in all that period of doubt and
strife that preceded, and attended
the War of the Revolution. The great
conflict was nowhere more bitter and
critical than in New Jersey, and the
ardent patriotism and wise leadership
of Aaron Kitchell did much to shape
the action Of that State during the
warAaron Kitchell was with Wash
ington at Morristown--o of his pri-
vate advisers The British army was
in the vicinity, and rumor went about
that they were going to make raid
down through Hanover Neck, Aaron
Kitcllell lived there and had the
money in his keeping to pay the troops
he sent word to his wife, grand
mother Kitchell-' to take the money
at midnight down to the great mead
ows and bury it under tree that
stands alone and tell no one," which
she did. and put skin in the tree that
she might find it again. Some few
years ago, hoax story went abroad,
that the money had been searched for
and found, in very strange place
from where it was put; the story went
in the newspapers and created quite a
sensation-not one word of truth in
t. Aaron Kitchell brought the money
from Philadelphia to pay General
Washington's troops, and no doubt it
was done. Aaron Kitehell worked
thirty years for his country in the
Senate and in the House when he had
to break his way through wilderness
to get there T; it is said he was one Of
General Washington's pail bearers.
After his long public service he re-
tired, and lived at his home in our
neighborhood, saw him often pass
on his way to business. l remember
how he looked very much like Joseph
Kitchell, his grandson. Friends are
very much pleased with the monu-
ment. Thanks to the donor. Aaron
Kitchell, was born in Hanover Neck,
1854, died June Is, 1920.

more particularly on the unfortunate

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
A CURE FOR ALL,
Not a Patent Cure-all, Nor a Modern
Miracle, but Simply a Rational
Cure for Dyspepsia.

In these days of humbuggery and de-
ception, the manufacturers Of patent
medicines, as a rule, seem to think their
medicines win not sell unless they claim
that it will cure every disease under the
sim. And they never think of leaving
out dyspepsia and stomach troubles.
They are sure to claim that their nos
trum is absolutely certain to cure every
dyspeptic and he need look no further:
In the face Of these absurd claims 1t
IS refreshing to note that the proprie-
tors of Stuart IS Dyspepsia Tablets have
carefully refrained from making any un-
due claims or false representations re-
garding the merits Of this most excel
lent remedy for dyspepsia and stomach
troubles. They make but one claim
and various stomach troubles Stuart g
Dyspepsia Tablets is a radical cure.
They go no farther than this, and any
man or woman suffering from lndlges-
ton, chronic or nervous dyspepsia, who
will give the remedy 9 trial will ind
that nothing is CLAIMED for it that the
facts will not fully sustain.
1t is a modern discovery, composed OF
harmless vegetable ingredients accept
able to the weakest or most delicate
stomach. Its great success in curing
stomach troubles is due to the fact that
will digest whatever wholesome food is
taken into the stomach, no matter
whether the stomach is in good working
order or not. It rests the overworked
organ and replenishes the body, the
blood, the nerves, creating a healthy
appetite, giving refreshing sleep and
the blessings which always accompany
q good digestion and proper assimilation
of food. 49,
In using stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
no dieting is required. Simply eat
plenty of wholesome food and take
these tablets at each meal, thus assist
ing and resting the stomach, which rap
idly regains its proper digestive power,
when the Tablets will be no longer re-
quired.
Nervous Dyspepsia is simply 8: condi-
ton in which some portion or portions
of the nervous system are not properly
ncurished. Good digestion invigorates
the v system and every organ in
the body. 'r. s
Stuart g Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
BY all druggists at 50 cents per package,
