A Reasonable Plea
 For The Stomach
If Your Stomach is Lacking fin Digestive Power, Why Not Help the Stomach Do It's Work--EspeciaIiy When
 It Costs Nothing To Trys

Not with drugs, but with reinforce ment of digestive agents, such as are naturally at work in the stomach? Scientific analysis shows that digestion requires pepsn, nitrogenous ferments, and the secretion of hydrochloric acid. When your food fails to digest it is proof positive that some of these agents are lacking in your digestive ap- paratus

 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been subjected to critical chemical tests at home and abroad, and are found to contain nothing but natural digestives.

 There is no secret in the preparation of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Their composition is commonly known among physicians as is shown by the recom- mendations of 40 1000 licensed physicians in the United States and Canada. They are the most popular of all remedies for indigestion, dyspepsia, water brash, in somnia, loss of appetite, melancholia, constipation, dysentery and kindred diseases originating from improper dis solution and assimilation of foods, be- cause they are thoroughly reliable and harmless to man or child.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are at once safe and a powerful remedy, one grain of these tablets being strong enough (by test) to digest 5000 grains of steak, eggs and other foods. Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest your food for you when your stomach cant.

Battleship VIII Probably be Ready for
 Trial Trip in Two Weeks.
 The battleship Connecticut, built at the Brooklyn navy yard by government employees, was put in commission promptly at Il o'clock Saturday morn- ing. with the usual formal ceremony followed in the navy. The ships off, eers and men, numbering some S5O-the full complement being S50-mustered on the quarterdeck, while Captain w. H. Reeder, acting commandant at the yard, read the orders from Washington commissioning the ship. He then turn ed her over to her commander, Captain William Swift.
 The commission pendant was hoisted at the main truck, and as the great american flag, made especially for the ship, was hoisted on the taffrail staff all hands saluted, while the band played "The Star Spangled Banner" Then, at the call of the bugle, officers and men went to their stations, and the ship was formally commissioned.
 Because of the large draft of marines for Cuba, there are none on board the Connecticut at present, but it is said she will have full complement be- fore she leaves the yard on active ser vice, The other officers assigned to the ship are Lieutenant Commander W. R. Shoemaker, executive officer; Lieuten- ant Commander Lloyd H. Chandler; Lieutenant F. P. Baldwin, engineer off cer; Lieutenant Samuel P. Fullinwider, ordnance officer; Lieutenant H. D. Var nell, w. P. Cronin and B. A. Long and Midshipmen Albert T. Church, Royal E. Ingersoll and Ralph B. Strassburger.
 There is considerable work to be done by the electrical force at the yard on the interior of the eight-inch turrets; in fact, many small details are incom- plete, but it is thought the ship will be able to leave the navy yard on her trial trip in about two weeks.

OVERVALUE ACHIEVEMENT
tcontttntued from Sixth Page,)

(Cont1tntued from Sixth Page.) present get out of proportion to the pos- abilities of the unseen future. To them and to them alone was it given to en- .dure to the end.
 Half century ago there was an Eng fish scholar whose life bore all the ex- ternal marks of failure. Arthur Hugh Clough went out from Rugby full of the high enthusiasm and ambitions which Arnold had developed; but he saw the various enterprises of his life baked by his ill-health, and the messages of his poetry received but scant notice from an indifferent world. On his deathbed, when he was almost too weak to put pencil to paper, he wrote last brief poem which his friends found after he was gone. That poem, written in the very shadow of death, is a message of hope to every man who wants to be- lieve in the coming of Gods Kingdom as Christ understood it, and who is ready to fight Gods battle hardest when the visible signs of success are least. Say not, "The struggle naught availeth, The labor and the wounds are vain; The enemy faints not, nor faileth,
 And as things have been they re-
 main."
 If hopes were false, fears may be liars; It may be through yon smoke con
 cealed
 Your comrades chase even now the
 flyers,
 And but for you possess the field. And if the tired waves vainly breaking Seem here no painful inch to gain, Far back, through creeks and inlets
 making,
 Comes silent flowing in the main. And not through eastern windows only When daylight comes, comes in the
 light; In front the sun climbs slow, how
 slowly!
 But westward look; the land is
 bright.
