II You Have pyspepsia Read This.

The old way of taking pepsin, bis.
muth, etc. to cure dyspepsia is all
wrong. They may be put in tablets
or in liquid. the result Is just the same
The object is to create artificial diges
tion, but this does not make n cure.
Stop taking the pepsin, etc, and you
have your dyspepsia or indigestion
back again. People use cocaine or
opium for nervous troubles and sick
headache. 1t does not cure. Stop
taking the drugs and the pain and
distress return. The only Common
Sense Method is TO drive out Of the
system the cause Of dyspepsia and
sick headache by cleansing the stom-
ach and bowels, at the same time
using medicine that will act on the
liver. This forces through the glands
Of the stomach the digestive fluid that
nature intended. In this way you cure
dyspepsia. The medicine that cures
dyspepsia by this method Is called DR.
Gums Improved Liver Pills. Drug
gists sell these pills at 25c per box. It
only takes one pill for dose.

Clerical Work for Girls.

Annie Steese Richardson in the Womans
 ome Companion.
 Now. as to clerical work. number of girls have written. asking how they can secure positions in publishing houses. The busy seasons In these establishments comes with the handling of Christmas trade, from October l to November 25. Many filing clerks, typists and stenogra- phers are taken on at this time and after the rush is over 1t becomes a case of the survival of the Attest. The most com potent or enterprising girls are given per manent positions.
 In the line of stenography, 1t seems as If allN seasons are busy Midsummer finds openings for girls who are willing to sub stitute for stenographers away on vaca- tions, and these positions command as high as s2.50 per day. In September, both the retail and wholesale establishments are apt to take on large clerical force. Positions can be secured through agencies which charge a percentage of the salary received and by answering newspaper ad- vertisements. An excellent way to secure a position is through the typewritting ma C1lIit HltH WiliCH you dt 70 HiODt cAptTt. Directly on reaching the city. call at the offices of the machine and take an exam ination in stenography. If you receive an average of s5 per cent or higher. your name Is placed on the eligible list, and you are sent out to answer the first call for help that comes from a firm using this particular machine. No charge Is made for securing the position. but the examination is rigid. and the girl who lacks knowledge of English, spelling or stenography cannot possibly come up to the standard demanded.
 Stenographers receive from $6 per week to $25. Real estate and insurance com panies pay good salaries; brokers and lawyers pay better. Brokers require a knowledge of telegraphy. There is room for competent workers in every large city, but the market is glutted with incompe. tent stenographers who cannot earn more than $6 per week.

 Tried in an experimental way last year, the system was a big success. Reading. spelling and grammar are taught readily, and problems in arithmetic and algebra are solved on individual hlackboards. When 1t is remembered that the children recite by the side of a comfortable fire, that there Is no wading through drifts waist high, the saving in doctors bills and human life Is apparent.
 Prof. J. c. Strapps. an instructor of the old school, believes he has found a cure for backward pupils.
 Professor Strapps does not hold to the modern theory that such children are de- fective mentally, but insists that dullness can be overcome by massagng certain muscles in the boys anatomy, using in the treatment liberal local applications of Professor Strapp's famous oil.
 He points with modest pride to six pupils who, when they entered ms scnooi last term, were so backward that they could not do decimals.

 Ordinary cases require only two applica- tions of the oil but Professor Strapps said he had one pupil whose muscles were so ossif1ed that 1t took full month to bring him around.

Baby Is an Acrobat.

Denver (Colo.) Cor. New York Herald.
 Eight months old and an acrobat, un- able to walk or talk, yet possessing such startling muscular development of the arms and shoulders that he can balance himself on his hands and with heels in the air proceed across the room-these are a few of the remarkable physical characteristics of the infant son of MT. and Mrs, William Schnars.
 Baby Schnars Is no bigger in the aggre- gate than most other infants of months of age. but the fragments and muscles of his chest, arms and shoulders are as tiny cords of steel. He can swing from a cane held in the hands of his sire with the ease and grace of a trained trapeze performer. And when this strong-arm baby takes notice of something on the table particularly attractive or desirable to his baby eyes he does not 'cry for 1t, but croops to the table and raises himself up by climbing to the leg, hand over hand
 Both Mr. and Mrs. Schnars are absolute believers in the efficiency of physical cul- ture for the building up and proper de- velopment of the human body, and their theory is that the earlier these exercises are undertaken the better for the de- velopment of the individual such exercises are intended to benefit. With an eye single to the purpose of rearing per fectly developed child, the father ana mother began gentle but systematic ana persistent training of the infant few weeks after his birth.
 Neither of the parents is remarkable for any extraordinary physical develop ment or accomplishment. Both are or German descent, and show the sturdy general characteristics of that race, but nothing more. But their baby boy Is wonder in muscular development aout the trunk of the body, and in this respect he is probably the strongest baby in the world. Otherwise he is like all healthy, normal children of 8 months of age.
