Tricked by Dyspepsia
The Doctor couldn't Tell Where the
Trouble Lay. :.

For the past seven year l have
been a Tictim of dyy Jepsla and
chronic const.Jaticl Gnl have con-
suited tho mo7t noted specialists to
be found cn diseases of this char
acter. None, however, semed to To-
cate the difficulty or give relief. In
addition to this medical treatment,
have resorted to the use of many
remedies and have given them faith
full trial. but az to no purpose.
Upon the recommendation of a
close friend, purchased soc pack
age of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and in less than FIVE days noticed
that was receiving more benefit
than from any remedy had used be-
fore. / continued to use the tablets
after each meal for one month and
by that time my stomach was in a
healthy condition, capable of digest
ing anything which my increasing
appetite demanded.
II have not experienced any re-
turn of my former trouble, though
three months have elapsed since TAX
ing your remedy"
We wish that you could see with
your own eyes the countless other
bona-fde signed letters from CRATE
full men and women all over the land
who had suffered years of agony with
dyspepsia, tried every known remedy
and consulted eminent specialists
without result. until they gave
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets a trial.
Like the doctor above, they couldn't
locate the seat of the trouble.
Dyspepsia is a disease which has
long bafIled physicians. So difficult
of location is the disease that cure
seems next to miraculous. There is
only one way to treat dyspepsia-to
supply the elements which nature
has ordained to perform this func-
tion and to cause them to enter the
digestive organs, supplying the fluids
which they lack. Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets alone Ell these requirements,
as is shown by the fact that 10000
physicians in the United States unite
in recommendin3 them to their pa
tients for stomach disorders.
We do not claim or eSpec. Stufrts
Dyspepsia Tablet to care anything
but disordere5 conditions of the
stomach and other digestive organs,
but this they never fail to do. They
work upon the inner lining OF the
stomach and intestines, stimulate the
gastric glands and aid in the secre-
ton OF juices necessary to digestion.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at so cents a
box. One box will frequently effect
a perfect cure. II in doubt and wish
more adequate proof send us your
name and address and we will glad
ly mail you sample package free.

WILL GIVE DANCES.
Company NJ win Raise Funds for Its
Gym.

As a means of raising funds for
paying the expense of the equipment
for the gymnasium in the armory,
the members of Company NJ, of the
militia, have decided upon giving a
series of balls during the winter, the
proceeds of which are to be applied
to paying for what paraphernalia has
already been purchased, and for the
purchase of more physical culture
appliances. The first of these series
of dances will be given Wednesday
evening, November 2Sth.
! Physical culture has become one
of the chief necessities for the train
ing of the defenders of the country's
honor, and every company and troop
OF military organization Is re-
quired to establish and equip gym
naslum for the development of the
physique of the members, making
them more fit for arduous field work
during the campaign. The Salem
company has installed a first-class
gymnasium in the armory, city hall,
and the benefits to be derived from
the physical exercises indulged in are
already becoming manifest. The
committee in charge of the proposed
dances, which will be semi-excluslve,
is composed of Sergeant Paul Au-
france, chairman; Lieutenant r.
Holman,E. w. Haas, Jasper Longcor
and Leroy Rullfson.

and so on.
In the centre of this fortune dish would be
placed highly polished luck bone and two of
the ribbons, red one for the man and white
for the maid would be attached to this. The
lucky two securing these ribbons would grasp
the luck bone firfnly-or firmly as possible in
the crook Of their little fingers and in perfect
silence, with arms stretched across the table,
would repeat to themselves the dearest wish of
their hearts.
All the guests during this ceremony stood with
glasses raised awaiting Fortunes decision. When
each has made wish, he and she raise their
left hands, for not word must be spoken, and
when both hands are up the hostess gives the
signal to pull" If the bone is tough there is
much tugging and consequent merriment before

masses but in 1904 when the holiday was held in
England on October 10Th, there are records still
extant of the merry making OF the day when oxen
were "fatted' weeks before and roasted whole
on Christmas. and fowl were in great demand,
chiefly for the love bones which they supplied.
In this year the ladies' of the court and the
peasant folk OF the rural districts played the ex'
citing game Of changing the bone" on Christmas
Eve.
For months before this date the wish bones
of all the geese which appeared on tbe table were
carefully boarded and artistically painted gid
ed. Sometimes they were sent to silversmths TO
be plated and inlad with gems, according to the
station and purse Of the owner
At dusk on Christmas Eve hooded figures were
seen TO stink out of palace and lodge and glide
from gate to gate, keeping well in the shadows
and their masked faces averted.
There would be sudden stops, a quick tying Of
love bone on a knocker or post, a hasty sum
mons on the door and a rush Of feet and a swish
of skirts as the hanger dashed away from diseov
cry.

her favor OF some retiring lover of lower station

as is the same ceremony in China. This, by the
way. is the chief event of Christmas Day in the
Philippines. brought there by the coolies and
eagerly taken up by the homesick Americans
and English, who welcome any diversion which
will tighten the wearsomeness of the day.
But y return to Chinatown. AS soon as dusk
falls tie streets are alive with Cinnamon push
ing wheel barrows usually they go in pairs or IN
companies of four. All have their faces turned
towards the market the stall or the public square
according to the town in which they are tarry-
ing.
The market places are ablaze with sputtering
candles and in the stalls there hang pigs OF all
sizes and qualities but whole pigs in every in
stance: ham or a shoulder has place in this
fine exhibition of porkers. The pigs are not put on
sale until five o'clock, and then there is some
sharp bargaining
They are quite odoriferous, too, for the festive
Chinaman carries great punches of lighted joss
sticks with which he sticks the pigs, and sticks
the men behind the pigs if the argument gets too
warm
When a bargain is struck the pig selected il
lifted down from his hook and strapped on the
side of the wheelbarrow or peculiar little hand
cart. You may talk until you are black in the
face in the endeavor to convince Chinaman that
the pig would be easier to wheel home were he

Christmas Days of the ninth, tenth and eleventh
centuries. II seemed to lose favor for several
hundred years and then Miss Watson found it
over in the provinces of France as late as the
last of the seventeenth century.
After 1907 it was heard of no more in its orig
inal guise and until this year it has never been
known in America a substitute for the mstle'
toe. We know it today as do the uEnglish as the
luck or wish bone
Late in the ninth century gilded wish bone
sent to a maiden on Christmas or offered to a lad
on that festival meant that some heart beat true
for the recipient.
A knight would ride to battle against his rival
would his lady, but hang the love bone about his
neck. To wear a silver or gold love bone
brooch was for girl to acknowledge herself be
/ trothed Little by little the love bone grew in
! power until no wedding feast was perfect with

THE FIsHBoNE GAME
A game something like dsh pond was played
with the bones for fish" A large bowl or basin
would be filled with water and certain number
OF bones dropped in. Each fisherman would be
given rod and line and allowed three chances
to haul up bone. On the bone would be writ
ten the name of the lady TO whom he must de
vote himself for the rest of the evening. Some
times the bones would be of gold or silver and
made into brooches. Then the gentlemen pre-
sented their FISH" to the ladies.

lid. From the perforations there always dange(
