Ten REASONS WHY
You Should Use the Security Copper Tube
Lightning Rod In Preference to
Any Other.

Lightning Rod In Preference TO
Any Other.

entific principles; receiving the highest

face, the best form for lightning con
ductor.
3. 1t is the only. lightning rod pat
ented in the United states with Auto
matte Water Supply insuring a Perfect
Ground Connection at all times, which
is the most important part of any rod.
4. 1t is the only Copper Rod that
has patented Coupling of Pure Cop
per, which makes the joint the strong
est part of the rod.
5. It is held up off the building by a
Galvanized Fastener and Galvanized
Brace, not resting on the building to
form a dam for water to rot the shin
giles.
6. Ii is furnished with the most
complete and best outfit of fixtures,
points, balls and vanes.
z. It is sold by responsible business
men, who see that 1t is properly put up
and kept in repair.
=. 1t has never failed to afford per
feet protection from lightning and
gives general satisfaction In every re
spect.
.. The company is responsible and
gives you a guarantee on the rods for
twenty years and will pay $500 reward
to find building burned by lightning
with their copper tube rods on In cir
cult FORM
10. The above offer has been made
for the past IA years and the reward
has never been claimed. This proves
that our lightning rods are sure and
perfect protection against lightning.
Chas. Rounds has been appointed
agent for the Security Lightning Rod
Co, Burlington, Wis, and stands back
of the company's guarantee of $500,
offered to any person that finds a
building burned by lightning, with
their copper tube rods on in circuit

Stomach Sufferers
Squander Millions
In Search of ReIlef.

The world is full of disordered stom-
achs and 80 per cent Of the money
spent upon physicians and drugs goes
In an attempt to cure the stomach.
People are made to believe that in
order to gain health they must doctor
their stomachs and use cathartfcs SO
the doctor gets his fee for the stomach
treatment and the druggist for the
physfc. until the savings of a life time
are exhausted and yet no cure.
Let's be reasonable
The sick stomach is in every case the
result of over-eating, hurried mastica-
ton and improper choice of foods. The
mucous lining all the way down the
food tract loses its constituencies, and
when food is forced down the muscles
fail to respond. They do not churn the
food as they should. The glands no
longer give out gastric juice to dis
solve the food and render it capable of
assimilation. The man has become a
dyspeptic.
There is one sure way and only one
to bring positive relief Put into that
stomach of yours the very elements
that it lacks to get that food into liquid
FORM 1t takes pepsin, diastase, golden
seal and other ferments to accomplish
this The healthy stomach contains
these elements. The dyspeptic stomach
lacks part or all of them. Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablet is made up of just
what the dyspeptic stomach lacks-na-
lures digestives.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a
medicine, not a drug, not a cathartic.
They do not cure anybody of anything
but Dyspepsia and Indigestion and
such ailments as arise from poorly di-
gested food.
While they digest the food the ston-
ach recuperates. The mucous mem
brane is coming out Of its stupor, the
gastric juice is coming to the surface.
the muscles are regaining their power.
Every organ of the body takes on new
life, the skin gains color, and the eyes
are no longer tinged with yellow 7 gu

Why doctor and why drug yourself

FUDGE CLUB has DfsBANDED.
All the Members Have Turned in Their
Water Wagon Badges.

From present indications 1t appears
as though the Percy White Fudge club
which was organized with William Cur
tbs as president a few weeks ago with
apparently a brilliant future is in bad
shape and that the organization is about
to go to pieces. President Curtis when
seen admitted that the affairs of the
club are in bad shape and that there
are not to exceed two of the members
in good standing. The reasons given for
the unfaithfulness of the members are
as numerous as they are varied and
though on the face they appear to be
trivial they have almost disorganized
the club.
Il returned from a trip up the state
Wednesday, said President Curtis,

it rained all day, I guess that my

seasoned I went over to the Elk club
to try and find some congenial spirit
who could afford me company for the
evening but not a member of the
Percy White Fudge club could I find
who could indicate to me that he was
in good standing. 7 listened to the ex-
cuses given by the former members Of
the club and must admit that many of
them seemed reasonable. The strain
was more than + could stand and for
that reason have rendered my resig-

NEW YEARS CALLS

A New Drink to Replace the Old Time
..AppIe-JaclS."
twenty-five years ago the custom of
making New Years calls was delight
full one for all concerned, until some of
the boys got more 'egg-nog' or apple
lack than they could successfully carry.
Then the ladies tried to be charitable
and the gentlemen tried to be as chi
Various as ever and stand up at the
same time.
If anyone thinks there has not been
considerable improvement made In the
last quarter of q century in the use OF
alcoholic bevera ges, let him stop to con-
slider, among other things, the fact that
the old custom of New Years calls. and
the genteeI tipping is nearly obsolete.
The custom of calling on ones friends,
however, at the beginning of the new
year, is a good habit, and another good
habit to start at that time is the use of
welI-made Postum instead Of coffee or
spirits.
A Staten Island doctor has sensible
daughter who has set Postum before
her guests as a good thing to drink at
