tain a vigorous digestion. This can be
done by eating only food suited to your
age and occupation, and when any dis
order of the stomach appears take a dose
of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets to correct it. If you have a
weak stomach or are troubled with indi-
gestion. you will find these tablets to be
just what you need. For sale by Martin

When the tobacco company first began
to send cigarette paper into the State It was
evident that they had secured the names Of
people in cities from directories and In small
or towns from poll books for many Of the
packages reached men who never smoked,
while many others were sent to addresses
at which the persons did not live. All such
packages wore destroyed by the postmaster

Indiana's Anti-Cigarette Law a Failure

INpIANAroL1s, Aug. 1.-THE Indiana
authorities are thoroughly disgusted with
the anti-cigarette law, and II the Legis-
lature were in session to-day the measure
would be repealed. The law is practically
a dead letter and the old law which pro-
hibited the sale Of cigarettes to children,
and which was being enforced with reason
able diligence. has fallen into disrespeot
with II.
There is no statute to prevent the sale Of
tobacco in any form in which one may
choose to purchase and it is not an offease
to sell 1t to a person OF any age. A boy
may buy package Of smoking tobacco and
the dealer who sells 1t to him violates no
law. Give the child the cigarette paper
the "makings.' az it has come to be called
and he is prepared to make his own ciga-
rettes. The courts have held that It is not
an ofTense to smoke, but it is a violation OF
the law either to sell cigarettes or -mak-
ings' or to give either away II you have
them in your possession.

Two men stood on a street corner trying
10 decide where to spend the evening.
where shall it be-Lverybody's Coney
Island or Harlem'- 7oney Island?" asked
the rounder.
THAT is new Jhe on me- said the
other where Is Earem's Coney Island?"
Fort George" replied the rounder.
'That resort has been Earlems Coney for
ten years or more. Hsrlemites and East
Sders know it WE'LL but there are thousands
= Of New Workers who have never been
there
I'm one Of the thousands. SO let Us go
and look it over" said the other man.
Earlem's Coney Island has one great
advantage over Everybody's Coney Island,
and that is that it costs only nickel to get
there. Livery nickel means glass Of beer
Or frankfurter. and every Last Slider
knows the value Of nickel. That is one
great reason why Fort George is popular.
There is an old tradition in certain parts
Of this island that the discoverer of Fort
George was Capt. Louis Wendell he who
serenades his friends with Wendel's Battery
on the slightest provocation. 1t was a
Wendell stronghold for years, but it isn't
any more. Wendel's competitors in the
amusement line are active and they arc
beginning to see the possibilities Of Fort
George as an amusement place.
There are extensive tracts Of open land
around this resort now and there has been
talk of erecting an immense amusement
place such as Dreamland and Luna Park
at Coaey Island. II this talk amounts to
anything Fort George may be a rival Of
Coney Island within couple OF years.
Now there is no comparison possible
between the two places. Fort George and
all that it contains could be nicely placed
on Coney Islands Bowery and then there
would be plenty Of room left to get about.
One thing that has always hurt Fort
George is the reputation it has had Of being
tough resort. 1t deserved this reputation
to certain extent. but its toughness was
not due to the business men there.
1t got it's bad name from some Of tho
people who went there and from the in
activity of the police. In the past two :,
months there has been great change In the
police attitude. The change Is due to
Police Commissioner McAdoo.
He could not understand why 80 many
hold-ups occurred at and near Fort George.
In one night there were four. The high
waynan was captured and recently SEN

for that only prevents person from re-
ceiving mail and not from sending Il out.
Under these circumstances the State IL

But even the laws supporters admit that
the worst feature of the situation arises
from the fact that, while under former
conditions very few boys were abs to buy
cigarettes or cigarette paper, thousands are
now supplied without cost. OF course, the
tobacco company has no means Of knowing
that many children are writing to 1t for
cigarette paper, but thousands are.
Some idea Of the amount Of paper that
is being thus freely distributed can be
gained from the fact that every envelope
contains seven packages or books Of cigar
otto paper, and each book contains twenty
Ave sheets. a total Of It's. Five bushels Of
these envelopes were destroyed by the
local post otflce officials In ono day. owing
to faulty addresses.

swarm on Manhattan Island.
Up on Riverside Drive there is an old
house which used to be farmhouse of
the main road. Some Of the trees which
shaded the grounds long ago are still stand
ing. The lawn about the old building has
not been moved for years. The grass Is
tumbled and tangled and yellow.
Within the grounds you may see an
old beehive upset by the little path which
leads up to the stoop. This beehive was
the first thing Of the sort a passerby had
ever seen In New York, and so he was
tempted to ask the occupant OF the house
there were any bees on the place.
Not now he replied. That is the
last Of an apiary that used to be on these
grounds. I guess they were the last bees
that ever did business in this city.
"When the people who owned this prop
erty quit 1t and put it into the hands Of
agents to rent they stipulated that the
bees went with the lease. II the tenants
wanted the honey they were welcome
to it. but they must not disturb the bees.
soon after the owners went away the
bees acted as II they didn't want 70 stay.
Anyhow. they began to pack up. The
hives were deserted ono by one. That
which you have just passed was the last
to be deserted.

the occupants swarmed just after a new
tenant had taken possession hero, and
they few away and never came back.
When the new occupants broke open the
hive they found no honey. 1t seemed a.

With this difficulty solved, the other
things that made Fort George notorious
were easy Of solution. It used to be said
that tho toughest negroes in this city went
there. That was true. Fights between
negroes used to be Of nightly occurrence.
They overran tho whole place and did
pretty much as they pleased.
Two thousand negroes . night was the
average number that used to visit the
resort. Now that number has dwindled

He found two concert halls frequented

ways. One Of these places IL no longer q

made. The bad negroes kept away when
they found they would have to respect the
rights Of others.
Petty gambling games and swindling
devices hourished there until the advent
Of Corcoran. He has swept them away.
It used to be great stamping ground for
the palmists. Corooran dug out . section
Of the Penal Code that makes . palmist

It. He let the Fort George palmists read
this section. Now there are no palmists
doing business there.

has abated is the megaphone men and the
