Also Few Facts ON the Same Sub.
ject.

We hear much nowadays about
health foods and hygienic living.
about vegetarianism and many other
fads along the same line.
Restaurants may be found In the
large cities where no meat, pastry
or coffee Is served and the food crank
is in his glory, and arguments and
theories galore advanced to prove
that meat was never intended for HUI
man stomachs. and almost make us
believe that our sturdy ancestors
who lived four score years in robust
health on roast beef, pork and NUT
ton must have been grossly ignorant
of the laws Of health.
Our forefathers had other things
to do than formulate theories about
The food they ate. A warm welcome
was extended to any kind from ba-
con to acorns.
A healthy appetite and common
sense are excellent guides to follow
in matters Of diet, and mixed diet
of grains, fruits and meats is un-
doubtedly the best.
AS compared with grains and veg
etables, meat furnishes the most nut
riment in a highly concentrated form
and is digested and asslmilated more
quickly than vegetables and grains.
DR.. Julius Remmson on this sub
ject says Nervous persons, people
run down In health and Of low vital
ity should eat meat and plenty Of
1t. II the digestion is too feeble at
first 1t may be easily corrected by
the regular use of Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets after each meal. Two of
these excellent tablets taken after
dinner will digest several thousand
grains of meat, eggs or other ami
nal food in three hours. and no
matter how weak the stomach may
be. no trouble will be experienced If
regular practice is made of using
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because
they supply the pepsin and diastase
necessary to perfect digestion, and
every form of indigestion will be
overcome by their use.
That the large class of people who
come under the head of nervous dys-
peptics should eat plenty of meat
and insure it's proper digestion, by
the daily use of safe, harmless di-
gestive medicine like Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets composed of the nat
ural digestive principles, pepsin, dlas-
tase, fruit acids, and salts, which
actually perform the work of diges-
ton. Cheap cathartic medicines, mas
querading under the name of dys-
pepsia cures are useless for indiges-
ton as they have absolutely no eff
feet upon the actual digestion of
food.
Dyspepsia in all its many forms
is simply a failure of the stomach to
digest food, and the sensible way to
solve the riddle and cure the dyspep-
STA is to make daily use at meal time
of preparation like Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, which is endorsed by
the medical profession and known to
contain active digestive principles.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets at so cents for full treat
ment.

Policemen and all classes OF Sc
cret service men work in the dark as
much as possible, and attempt to
keep all matters pertaining TO their
work away from the press, and in
small towns where the power Of the
press is not so generally conceded to
be helpful in such work. the hardest
job the police have Is to keep their
business from the reporters. This
is one OF the best opportunities the
reporter could wish for to gain ex-
perience, as Il gives him an open
field and he has no chance OF betray-
ing confidence.
A house was broken into and the
police called After an examination
the officers cautioned the proprietor
not to say anything ION the out
side" as the matter should be kept
quiet. The men who committed the
robbery knew the police would be
acquainted with the robbery and be
after them, and II needed no news
paper account to convince them Of
this. yet the police wanted the pa
pers to lose the item.
Along comes the reporter for
news and possibly runs across the
proprietor or some member Of the
family. employe. or httache of the
place.
"No, he hadn't heard of the rob
berry, but It didn't amount to much2"

asked that the matter be kept quiet
This tip safe in hand makes II easy
and when the paper comes out the
police are not always pleased.
In cities the police know the re-
porters well. and when anything
happens which really should not go

press representatives and gives HIS
orders.

This is sufficient and the reporters
are honor bound not to give II away.
The police in large cities know the
ability of reporters and In some in
stances the best detective work ever
done developed out of the newspaper
Offices. Reporters who have a nose
for news are in demand and in New
York city some of the greatest
beats" or scoops" ever secured by
a newspaper were stories pertaining
to police work and which the police
knew nothing off until the paper
printed II.
One Of the greatest pieces Of de
tective work ever performed was
credited to news reporter who
graduated out OF Louisville and
went to New York. He worked up
murder story. found the guilty
party, and had the story in print be-
fore he gave the secret service men
the tip; and by the time the detect
ives had nabbed their man the
story was printed and on the streets.
The first thing good reporter
learns is not to betray confidence.

depend on him for secrecy he gets

CAN NOT MANAGE HER MONEY.
Mrs. Nellie Bostwick Cary, Wealthy
Woman, Declared incompetent.

New York, Aug. 3.-Following an
inquiry before Commissioners Alger-
non c. Norton. Henry v. Wildman, M.
D.. and Emil Neufeld, sheriff's jury
today decided that Mrs. Nellie Bost-
wick Cary, the beautiful wife of Ham
ilton Wilkes Cary, of sol Fifth avenue,
society leader and noted horsewoman,
is incompetent to manage herself and
her property.
The petition upon which the pro-
ceedings were based were filed by Mrs.
Cary's husband, her mother, Mrs. Hell
en- G.. Bostwick, and her brother, Al
bert c.. Bostwick They averred that
Mrs. Cary had long been addicted to
the excessive use of intoxicants and
was unable properly to care for her
estate which gives her an income Of
$4,000 a year.
Before the jury Mrs. Bostwicks tes-
titled that for two years she had OBJ
served her daughters inordinate era
wing for stimulants. She added that
Mrs. Cary suffered from halluciations,
insisted upon buying expensive jew
elry and ran heavily in debt, notwith-
standing that Mrs. Bostwick supple
mented her daughters income with an
allowance Of $4,000 a year.
Albert C. Bostwick, after corrobor-
ating his mother-in-lawis statement,
said that last year Mrs. Cary paid
$4,000 for some pearls and an emer-
aid ring. He said that Mrs. Cary's
jewels alone were worth $275,0O0.
