GAMBLING WITH DEATH
What Many of Us Are Doing Three
 Times Day.

Fer everything We get something is taken away. Every act pulls two ways. Some men in power dole out tEeir souls in it. They can't have soul and power at the same time.
 And so, in this quick-living age, most of us can't have energy and health at the same time. One or the other must be lost, and it is usually health.
 We know We are doing wrong and would like to reform, but we have morbid fear of being laughed at if we aim to live and eat according to conscience and good sense.
 Some of us break away for awhile and enslave ourselves to a diet We read about the hardy Scotsman being fed on porridge asd oatcake. mak- ing soldiers of muscle and dash, and how Caesars army was fed on corn But the diet doesn't last long, We quickly swing back into the great line. eating and drinking to fullness like the rest, eating anything and everything, at any time, and any way We find it. We say "what is a stomach for if it isn't to obey the pal ate.''
 But there is really no one rule aD- plicable to everybody's stomach What one man may eat another may not.
 But the dysneptic should remem- her that the death list has a dark shadow lowering over it with long beny finger pointing to."died of heart q sesase.' Physicians will tell us that there are few cases of 'heart disease that do not come from a stom- .ach derangement.
 At every meal we may be brewing for ourselves a terrible case of dvs- pepsia It may come upon us after breakfast tomorrow morning, or after that oyster supper tomorrow night.
 Acute indigestion means that YOU have even chances for death or fife. That's the gamble you are taking. That precious gastric ju ca decides, as a rule, whether ycu continue to live or not.
 Therefore, if you feel your food lia~ like "a lump of lead" on your ston1- ach. beware! Your gastric juica is weak It can't dispose of the food in time to prevent fermentation. Take someth ng that will do it effec- tively,> and at once. Take Stuart's S Dyspepsia Tablets, the most powerful tablets in the world for the relief Of all kinds of stomach trouble, nau. sea, indigestion. the worst cases of dyspepsia, fermentation, bloaty feel ing, sourness, heartburn and brash
 One grain of an ingredient of these tablets will d 'gest 5000 grains oi food. Your stomach needs a rest at once. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will relieve your stomach of more than two-thirds of the work it has to do digesting perfectly whatever food there is in your stomach.
 You can't do your work well, or be cheerful, or have energy or vim or ambition, when your stomach is bad Make yourself feel good after hearty meal, feel good all over, clear your mind and make you enjoy life, by talk ling Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. l. Give your stomach rest, so it can right itself, then you need fear noth ing. Ycu can get these tablets any 1 where for 50 cents package.

farm in Yellowstone, Fayette township,
where they lived until the death of Mr..

1888, after which the subject of this
notice and her daughter Melvina re-

Exciting Novel by Oppenheini.

Novel readers everywhere will be
glad to have tip on the brilliant new
romance. 'The Great Secret" by f.
Phillips Oppenheim, author of prince
of Sinners, ''The Mysterious Mr.. Sa-
| bin and many other noted books. 1t is
one of the most fascinating tales of
mystery and action in recent fiction. If
you read the first page you simply can t
get away from the magic spell of the
story until tie mystery is solved in the
last chapter.
Suppose you were quietly undressing
in your room at London hotel when
suddenly terrified man rushed in,
locked your door, and told yon that the
men outside were going to kill him.
Suppose you liked the mans looks, so
that your fighting blood was up to de-
fend him. What would you do when
his enemies burst in your door and
tried to drag him off without law or
warrant? And suppose the man pos
sessed some momentous secret which
made him the victim of an information
al conspiracy, and that beautiful
American girl seemed to be one of the
conspirators. Interesting, is it not
Well, that is only a hint of the first
chapter, and the story carries one along
in whirlwind of mystified excitement
to the end.
Mr.. Oppenheim is wizard with the
pen. Americans are only beginning to
realize that he is one of the greatest
masters of exciting narratives in this
decade. He is an Englishman with an
American wife, and characters from
both countries figure in his novels.
THE Great Secret" is a marvel of it's
kind. The first installment will appear
in the Sunday Magazine of the Chicago
Record Herald, Sept. 80.

Any groceryman in the state is liza
BILE to be ''pinched' any time for hand
ling impure or adulterated goods put up
in packages by manufacturers. In most
instances the dealer is not to blame He
has purchased the article in the regular

accept the manufacturer or jobber S
statement of the quality of the goods,
the manufacturer should be the one to

Mine promoters and those who are
interested in the mines in this section

Carl of Platteville, aged %, was struck
by south bound passenger train on
the Chicago & Northwestern road, and

last week to enter the university. He is
son of Henry Carl, farmer living
near Platteville.

Our consul at Seville reports that TO
prepare olives in the most palatable
manner they must be gathered unripc
after the first autumn showers. Prop
erly assorted according to size and
quality, they are first washed IN fresh
water to remove particles of earth ana
leaves which usually cling to the fruit
Later they are allowed to soak III a
solution of soda and potash, concentrat-
ed to between two degrees and SIX de-
Crces of the Raume aerometer. III the
solution be very concentrated eight TO
ten hours of soaking suffice; If diluted,
the operation may continue for three
or four days. After the solution mas
penetrated very nearly to the stone OF
the fruit, fresh water is substituted
and renewed every two hours until II
remains clean-a sign that the fruit has
lost the caustic flavor which the soiu-
ton had impaired to it. Next the frult
is picked according to processes vary
ing in conformity to the custom or each
locality. Some use brine, others admlx
fennel and thyme, while not infrequent-
" also salt and vinegar are employed.
In this way whole olives are picked.
Whenever it is desired. on the other
hand, that the fruit should imbibe

il is steeped missions penetrating 10
