A GOOD DEAL OF NONSENSE
About ..Blood Purifiers" and ..Tonics.' 8

About s.BIood Purifiers and ''TOnics.' =
Every drop of blood, every bone,
nerve and tissue in the body can be
renewed in but one way, and that is,
from wholesome food properly digest
ed. There is no other way and the idea
that a medicine in itself can purify
the blood or supply new tissues and
strong nerves is ridiculous and on a
par with the fol-de-rol that dyspepsia
or indigestion is a germ disease, or
that other fallacy, that a weak Stom-
ach which refuses to digest food can
be made to do so by irritating and IN
flaming the bowels by pills and ca
thartics.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure in
digestion, sour stomach, gas and bloat-
ing after meals, because they furnish
the digestive principles which weak
stomachs lack, and. unless the de-
fciency of pepsin and diastase is sup
piled, it is useless to attempt to cure
stomach trouble by the use OF
which have absolutely no digestive
power, and their only effect is to give
a temporary stimulation.

that institution fail to follow the in

given a half hour at the new punish

one of the exercises of the gymnasium,
but as a punishment it consists in
standing the ungovernable in a corner
sively to squat down and stand I'D for
periods ranging from five minutes to
half an hour. according to the severity
of the punishment sought to be i'm
posed.

prescribed most of them, it is said. are
glad to take their places in the line
and forget their misbehavior for a
time. In addition to "squats'' it is
privation of pleasures is also resort
ed to.
The nature of "squats' as a form of
punishment came out yesterday at a
continuance of the investigation of the
doing of the Parental school, at which
Trustee Duddleston declared that the
boys at the institution were brighter
than the boys of any other school in
the city
An effort was made to get Mr.. Dud-
dlestOn to admit that the reason for
their brightness was the occasional
hoggings they used to get but he in
sisted it was because they were "boyS
of the street." and thus more ac-
qualnted with the world.

Resolution of Respect.

Whereas, we are again called upon to mourn departed brother and friend, it becomes our duty and pride to review the relations that our brother l.. Rolwage bore to Forrest City Lodge Knights and Ladies of Honor.
 He was charter member of this Lodge and the only treasurer it has ever had. This fact shows how well he performed the duties of his office.
 He was prompt in response to all calls of fraternity, and DO important function was complete without him His business ability and social tact were at the command of the Lodge, and until lately his melodious voice was a valued part of every musical meeting. Therefore, be it itresolved, That in the passing of Bro. Rollwage from earth u the Eden Lodge above, this Lodge has lost an efficient officer, loving friend and brother.
 And furthermore, That we extend tc bis family our sincere sympathy in this their hour of bereavement, and in Hope point them to the Divine Protector who hath compassion on us in our dis tress.i
 That these resolutions be spread on our record book, and copies be sent to the family end our local papers.
