There was one little chap on the team

plucky little fellow and young at the
game. When it came to lining up on the
eventful day the big sophomores lowered
over the freshmen, and the little tackle
found himself face 20 face with a war
rior twice his size. The game was start

little fellows were almost carried of their

AN EASY WAY
To Keep Well.

1t is easy to keep we'll if we would
only observe each day q few simple
rules of health.
The all important thing is to keep
the stomach right, and TO do this il is
not necessary to diet or to follow a set
rule or bill of fare. Such pampering
simply makes a capricious appetite and
ii feeling that certain favOrite articles
Of food must lie avoided.
Prof. Wiechoid gives pretty good ad-
vice on this subject: he says: Il am IS
years old ard have never had Il serious
illness. and at the same time my life
has been largely an indoor one. but
early discovered that the way to keep
healthy was To keep healthy stomach

man of my age to the regular daily use
of Stuart's Tablets
My physician first a ivised me to usn
them because he said they were per-
.ectly harmless and were not a secre.
patent medicine. but contained only the
natural digestives. peptones and dias-
tase. and after using them a few weeks

Men ana women past fifty years OF
