GIVE YOUR STOMACH
 A NICE VACATION
Don't Do It By Starving It Eithcr-Let
 A Substitute Do the Work.

The old adage, ''All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" applies just as well to the stomach, one of the most im- portant organs of the human system as 1t does to the man himself.
 If your stomach Is worn out and rebels against being taxed beyond it's limit the only sensible thing you can do is to give it rest. Employ q substitute for a short time and see if it will not more Sian repay you in results.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a willing and most efficient substitute. They them selves digest every bit of food in the stom- ach In just the same way that the stomach itself would were it well. They contain all the essential clements that the gastric juice and other digestive fluids of the stomach contain and actually act just the same and do just the same work as the natural fluids would do were the stomach well and sound. They, there fore, relieve the stomach, just as one workman relieves another, and permit it to rest and recuperate and regain it's normal health and strength.
 This vacation idea was suggested by the letter of a prominent lawyer in Chicago. Read what he says: "I was engaged in the most momentous under- taking of my life in bringing about the coalition of certain great interests that meant much to me as well as my clients. It was not the work of days. but of months; l was working night and day almost when at a very critical time my stomach went completely back on me. The undue mental strain brought 1t about and hurried up what would have happened later on.
 What I ate I had to literally force down and that was a source of misery, as I had sour stomach much of the time. My head ached, I was sluggish and began to lose my ambition to carry out my undertaking. It looked pretty gloomy for me and I confided my plight to one of my clients. He had been cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and at once went down to drug store and brought a box up to the office.
 "I had not taken d ql-<.ter of that box before found that they would do all the work my stomach ever did. and as a rest or vacation was out of the question for me. I determined to give my stomach vacation. I kept right on taking the tablets and braced up and went ahead with my work with re- newed vigor, ate just so much as I ever did and carried out that undertaking 10 a successful issue I feel that I have Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to thank for saving me the handsomest fee I ever received as we'll as my reputation and last but not least my stomach.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale by all druggists at 50 cents a box.

Edison,s aobviOusn inventions.

Mr.. Thomas A. Edison recently made
a suggestion by which common fail
ing of Judges may be turned to ac-
count. The patent law demands that
an invention shall show more evidences
of imagination than are required in
the ordinary makeshift improvements
that are made every day in machine
shops, and vet the simplest devices are
the most effective and the most profit
able. The federal courts have several
times inyalidated Mr.. Edison's patents
on the ground that the improvements
made by his devices were obvious
solutions of the mechanical problems and
therefore not patentable. AS in many
problems that require hard study, the
solutions did seem obvious enough af-
terward.
Not long ago MIR. Edison was trying
to work out new piece Of mechanism.
It seemed simple enough problem when
he began it, but it proved to be ex-
tremely difficult. After several days
exasperatingly futile work, his attor-
ney happened to ask him how it was
coming along.
No good yet" replied Mr.. Edison.
But, Of course, the thing il perfectly
obvious. | wish you'd bring commit
tee of those federal judges down here
that are always saying that If this
thing is 50 almighty obvious, perhaps
they can tell me how to make il. Har-

Manila, Sept. 27.-The most destruc.

since 1882 burst upon it yesterday. Hun
dreds of stone and wooden buildings,
including two churches and hotel,
were unroofed.
The native districts were half swept

filling the streets with flames until the
current was shut off.
Traffic has been suspended and the
streets are deserted. The trolley lines
have suffered much damage. The town
was in darkness last night.
The police stations are feeding and
sheltering 5000 homeless persons and

that the shipping in the bay had warn

the ships have been invisible on account
Of the rain and have not communicated

had never attended school before and
had little idea of discipline.
Carefully and patiently the teacher
endeayored to train him in the right

Some of his remarks upon being
corrected We're laughable." she said to
her listeners. "You can imagine with

Of chewing gum in his mouth. After
