54,600 Meals
 Did Him No Good
How One Man Wasted 30 Years of His
 Life. Thousands Like Him.

Whats the use of eatin', anyhow?' said the scrawny dyspeptic to his TO- tund, prosperous-looking friend Here I've been eatin' three times day, and sometimes twice a day, for 50 years, and look at me. I'm rawboned and skin ny. still at the bottom of the ladder sour on the world and pessimist. l know it, and I can't help it. If had it to do over again, though, l would take care of my stomach, for l don't believe ever really relished a meal in my life, not even mothers Christmas dinners, and l firmly believe that my way of eating, or whatever it was, brought along with il darkness and impossibility of suc- cess"
 You're right" nodded his companion, "Of course, that isn't always the case. But in this age we must not only Trust iii the Lord and keep our powder dry, but we must swallow sunshine with our food. Cheerfulness, especially while eat ing, which is the most essential act of man, is as necessary to him as sun shine is to the flowers. Nothing normal can be produced in darkness.
 But this is what you haven't been doing, MT Dyspeptic. Your brain and your stomach, remember, are twins and you have to treat them accordingly. Why not start now and repair the dam age you've done. It is never too late, you know"
 You mean at my age? And suppose you can't always get the sunshineY
 Absolutely, yes. Science has made it possible to get the sunshine, the health and the strength that your stomach needs, all put up together in little tablets. They call them Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, the most effective tablets in the world for this very thing. One ingredient in these tablets digests 5000 grains of food with out the help of the stomach. Two tab lets after each meal can do more work, quicker work and peter work, in digesting a heavy meal, than the stomach can It. self. The stomach need not work at all- Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets does all the work, and give your jaded stomach a rest the rest it needs. Meanwhile you cure yourself of braZh. irritation, burn ing sensation, heartburn, sour stomach, aeidity, fermentation, bloat and the worst cases of dyspepsia and indigestion You get rid of these TOT all time. And then, besides. you can eat all you want and whenever you want and you will also relish mothers Christmas dinners if you will take Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after eating That's the sunshine I was talking about. Then your face will re- fleet the enternal change going on you'll be more energetic, your mind will be clearer, you will have more confidence in yourself. you'll be happier, and you'll be yourself again.
 Your heart will change and you'll feel rosy. You'll enjoy your meals-and live Let's walk down to the drug store and let me introduce you to one little pack age of these Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets You can get them at any drug store in the world for only 50c a package. It is worth it. MT. Dyspeptfc."

 ated From Blame.

Boston, October 16.-The case against Shaun Kelley, the Harvard student charged with assaultng patrolman, was dismissed in the municipal court to- day. The case grew out of the attempt of the officer to arrest party of Harvard men who were skylarldng on Boston com mon, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and Shaun Kelley, his room mate, being in the party.
 In dsmissing the case Judge Went worth commented at some length upon it, saying that the efforts of the police to put stop to the disturbance were commendable, but that with reason Kel- ley was under the belief that his arrest was illegal and under the circumstances the resistance which he offered was not of undue violence.

HEAD Of BOY IN
STOMACH OF
SHARK 5
Horrible Discovery that Reveals
Fate Of a Bay St.
Louis Boy.

A dispatch from New Orleans says:
A week ago one Of the students at
st. Stanislaus College, at Bay st.
Louis, on tie gulf coast. was captur.
ed by man eating shark while swim.
ming about a half mile from shore.
The boy was never seen again after
ne was dragged under the water.
Since that time Gilbert Marshall, a
West Point man., who Is now at Bay
st. Louis, on his vacation, and his
brother Carl. have been making a de-
termined fight on, the larger sharks,
and have landed four which have been
interfering with the bathers for some
time past. The largest specimen was
caught yesterday after a fight OF
three hours.
After dragging him to shore, the
TWO young men,. as a matter of curl
osity, cut him open and found a part
OF the head and arms of the student
that had disappeared in the fish's
stomach. Gilbert Marshall is conf
dent that this is the fish that brought
death to the little Mexican STUDENT a
few days ago.
The people along the entire coast
have declared war on sharks and are
using every EFFORT to exterminate
them.

Queens Face ON PEARL

A wonderful pearl, bearing the exact
likeness Of the late Queen Victoria Of
England, was found in a fresh water
mussel in the Mississippi river. The
pearl is now on exhibition In the win
dows Of local jewelers., 4O7 Nicollet
avenue. The pearl is Of irregular
shape, and its lines correspond with
those Of an old portrait of Queen Vic
toria, which shows a full profile, as If
carved by hand, so true has nature
observed even the smallest detail of
the queens likeness. The pearl weighs
about six grains. 1t was picked up
near Davenport, In. The pearl will be

Wrong and Harmful Ways to Exer.

among the many medieval faTla
cies concerning health and hygiene one
Of the most deeply rooted is the
straight shoulder delusion," said
physical culturist Of the enlightened
school.
1.-THE number Of persons who come to
me clinging tenaciousy to the old fash
Toned method Of standing straight Is
altogether astonishing" she went on to
explain. THE yardstick which the well
meaning mother passes through the
arms Of her little daughter has been re-
sponsible for many thousands Of bony
necks with unnaturaIy projected
heads. 1t will ruin many more unless
parents are brought to realize that this
ramrod method Of carriage is az I'M
sanitary as 1t Is ungraceful.
IF mother would but watch the
effect Of this position upon the little
bare shoulders and neck Of her darling
she would never again wish her babies
to assume II.
1.-THE worst Of the matter is that
while it Is running the carriage Of her
head and the contour Of the neck and
chest, 1t is In no way assisting the
breathing business Of the lungs. The
ramrod method of standing neither ex-
pands the lungs nor causes effortless
respiration. On the other hand, II cor
rect breathing is mastered the shoul-
ders, back and head assume their nat
ural and most beautiful carriage. It is
impossible for them not to do 50. The
poise thus obtained Is that pictured BY
artists. 1t is as far removed from the
ugly yardstick attitude as from con-
sumptive forward droop. In fact, 1t Is
the attitude suggested by Mother Ma
ture herself for her healthy offspring.
I'm order to stand straight throw the
weight of the body first of all on the
balls Of the feet. The subject should
practice this poise, swinging forward
and using the heels merely as a bal
ance.
Now lift the chest. This is done not
by laborfous breaths, which exhaust
and do not accomplish the object, but
by q mechanical movement as easy and
as natural as moving head or finger.
with ones weight so poised and
with the chest lifted it is impossible
not to stand straight and to breathe

Microbes In . Hand.hake.

1t would seem, says the Charlotte
Medical Journal, that none Of our So
cial customs Is safe from the icono-
elastic hammer OF the hygienist gone
mad. Some time ago we were warned
against the danger Of reading cur let
tiers and newspapers over the break
fast tea and toast lest perchance the
lurking microbe should be added to our
meal. Now a deeply rooted custom of
civilization is threatened, the social
handshake. The leader Of this new
crusade is DR.. Valentine Valpasse, a
physician attached to the Persian en-
bassy at Constantinople. He has dis
covered that every square centimeter
Of the skin of the hand shelters more

The SENSES AND
KNOWLEDGE
OF GOD
What the Senses Of Mankind
Teach Sunday Sermon BY
Rev. H. C. Cushman.

Rev. H. G. Cushman, on SUNDAY last
delivered the first of a series of SER
mons up How We May Grow in the
knowledge of God by the Five Exter-
raj Senses, in Union With Human
judgement" and took for his text
He That Faith Ears to Hear, Let Him
Hear" Luke VIII, 8. He spoke, III
part, as follows:
God made the human ears perfect
and different in shape from those of
the balance of the animal kingdom
cod designed the ears to hear sounds
from every direction. God made the
ears OF those that nurse or nourish
their young to be more perfect than
the ears of oviparous animals, be-
cause they need to hear quickly and
perfectly the sounds and to know the
direction from which sounds may
come. So the ears of the .mammalla
have q higher development because
the preservation of the lives of their
young depend upon their hearing
acutely. T. sc born deaf will GER
tainly be dumb unless trained to
use their voices. 0 how good ana
wise Is our God!
God placed in the ears of human
beings, quadrumana, quadrupeds, birds
and reptiles a little powdered car
Donate of lime in order that the ears
might hear. to the extent of nine oc-
taves or the lowest tones of a pipe
rcgan to the highest sounds made by
insects. When man discovered the
carbonate of lime which is suspended
in the fluid that Is contained il the
membranous labyrinth Of the ear, he
wanted to know why God put the
powdered carbonate in nearly all
animals except one or two in
which Is placed the carbonate in peb-
BILE or solid form, SO a bladder was
filed with water and a few peDhIes
and a small quantity of carbonate OF
lime was added to the bladder AMI
when shaken 1t produced greater
impression upon the hand that held ii
than one without the lime. God
placed this powder in our ears before
We ever heard sound, SO that as
babes We might hear mothers
sweet lullaby that softly and tender
ly bushes US to sleep-natures soft
nurse, o sleep. o gentle sleep; thus
our mothers become the great God
of natures gentle nurses.
The sense of hearing like the sight
lasts longer than the exciting cause
We may hear the sound after the
surf has ceased%to roar,
And .rumbling Of the train after our
journey Is DER.
We may see the object and the
light,
AFTER the eye lids have closed the
sight.
Some persons can't hear more than
an octave above middle C, but were
it not for the limitation of the sense
we might hear the melody Of the
winds in sound or song, rushing DER
land and sea pitched to lofty tones
by the breath CT heaven. Or the
music of the spheres. while the
