There is no reason why a person
should not eat anything he chooses
i if he chews it carefully = the
trouble is most people are afraid Of
every good looking, good smelling,
good tasting thing on the bill Of
fare because it don't agree with
them They actually starve them
selves into sickness. Dieting can
not cure dyspepsia = if we cut off
every article of food that disagrees
with us before long we have nothing
left, and we find ourselves chronic
dyspeptics. When you eat some
thing that don't agree with you, it's
time to get after your stomach and
tone it up. From my own expen-
ence in selling dyspepsia cures, there
is nothing that equals Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets. From what my

Captured Battle Flags ut Au-
gusta.
tBAngor Commercial.

The action of the United States gov
-rnment In returning the old Confeder-
ate battle flags, captured during the
rebellion aud formerly kept at Washing
ington, to their respective States, brings
to mind the thought that perhaps the
State OF Maine may some day pass a law
returning To the South the flAgs which
were captured during the war by Maine
regiments and which are now preserved
ut the capitol There are about a dozen
of these old flags, battered and torn and
dark with the stain of years, and per-
haps with blood, and they form little
group in glass case in the adjutant gen
erals private office They are as care
fully preserved as the cherished relies
OF the stars and stripes in the rotundA,
In whose presence feeling of reverence
IL awakened within the hearts OF all who
behold them, but no one feels an inter-
est in the old confederate fl ,gs, and but
few of the thousands who visit the State
house annually, ask to see them. For
merly they were in the rotunda, grouped
over the doors leading from it.
Each Of the fl tgs bears card stating
by what regiment it WAS captured, and
in what battle, hut to what southern reg
iment the fl tgs belong is known only in
few instances. One of the flags be-
longed to the 9TH North Carolina reg :
ment and WAS cap'und ri Rappahan-
mock station, Nov. 7, 1868, by the 5th
Maine regiment, and another, the flag OF
The 2lst South Carolina volunteers, was
captured at the same time also by the
h Maine. Another Il < was that OF the
32d Virginia
The majority of the flags are of the
well-known type, being red ground
with bars OF blue crossed uiagonallV and
hearing the stars; but one, that Of the
Plat Virginia, WAS the earliest design
used by the Confederacy, the ''stars and
bars" and WAS composed OF blue field
bearing seven stars in circle, with
three stripes, two of red and one OF
white After the first battle OF Bul!
Run, however, this design was abandon
ed, because, when seen at distance 1t
resembled too closely the stars and
stripes
That the old flags saw their share Of
the triumphs and revrrses of the lost
cause is attested by the names which are
emblszOned on some of them. On the
Dag of the 7th North Carolina appears
the words, Manassas ID and Fredericks-
burg, while that of the 32d Virginia
bears the words Charlottesville, Win
chester, Gettysburg and Fredericksburg,
10 addition to these, each flag bears the
names of other battles which are con-
cealed by the way in which the fltgs are
grouped In the case.
II the time does come when those flags
are returned to the south, there are
doub less some in who's hearts many
memories will be awakened by the sight
Of them.

EVERY ONE ASKS HIM
HOW HE GOT RID OF HIS OBSTINATE
MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM.
Mr.. Jones Tells of the Way by which He
Treated Himself successfully
when Doctors Failed.

Six physicians, all of them good, one Of
for Mr. Jones at different times during
three years. and still he suffered fear
fully from the tOrtures of rheumatism
The rheumatism that had been dor
mant i'll his system WAS suddenly
brought to an acute stage by exposure
while he was drawing ice i'll February,
1901 From that time on for a period
Of more than three years he was a con-
slant sufferer. He tried many kinds of
treatment, but the rheumatism wouldn't
bulge When regular doctors failed,
and one remedy after another proved
useless, many said: Il should think he
would give it up and save his money "
OF his condition at this time, Mr..
Jones says: Ny rheumatism started
in my right thigh, but in time it APP
peared in every muscle of my body.
lost the use of my left arm en-
tirely and nearly lost the use of my
right one My feet We're badly affected,
especially the bottoms of the heels.
When my right side was affected there
was swelling, but the left side didn't
swell when the disease settled there,
The internal organs didn't seam to be
involved at all. The trouble was all in
the muscles and the nerves.
Among the few who still encouraged
Mr.. Jones to think that a cure might
yet be found was friend who had rea-
son for great confidence in DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills, and acting on her
advice he bought box of them in Sep
TENDER, 1904 The story of what fol-
lowed is brief, but nothing could be
more satisfactory.
When | was ON the third box, says
Mr.. Jones. Il could realize change for
the better l felt sure then that DR..
Williams Pink Pills were the right
medicine for my case. / kept on with
them for several weeks longer and now
am entirely well, aud everybody is
asking what took"
Mr. William Jones lives at Oxford,
Mich DR.. Williams Pink Pills effect
wonderful cures in rheumatism, because
they work directly on the blood which is
the seat Of the disease. They are sold
by every druggist.

that science has been able to cure in all its

Cure is the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease, requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces Of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation OF the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. The
