TURN YOUR FACE
 INTO DOLLARS.
Many Man Has Failed Because His
 Face Was Picture of Calamity.

It takes sunshine to produce q rose, a perfect rose. And so man. to be sue | eessfu, must have sunshine inside. The life which has it not, which has no health and no happiness, is sour, surly, pessimistie, and a failure The world already has too many vinegar faces that breathe ill-will and strife. The world wants joy, comfort, sunshine, and will cling to the man who has 1t, who radiates gladness and triumph wherever he is and under all circum- stances.
 Some people have a genius for seek ing out the disagreeable the crooked the bad and the ugly These are the destroyers; they travel In schools, they herd together, for they love their kind, and the cheerful part of the world will have nothing to do with them.
 And why is 1t that so many peddle disaster knowing at the same time that | if they do tfYeir lives win be ruined? Some people cannot help it, for pessi- mism usually comes from bodily disor- ders, and this cannot always be pre- vented The stomach, for instance, is
 the most common cause of discontent. sour face, recklessness, disgust and lack of ambition. A bad stomach-there is
 the secret of many failure Any one can have a good stomach, a strong stomach, stomach that can take care of anything and everything that is put into it, no matter whether it is very bad stomach now or not. Then why not have it?
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this very thing. One ingredient of these little tablets digests 5000 grains of
 food, and, no matter how bad is your l dyspepsia or indigestion, these tablets will digest everything in your stomach,
 thoroughly and completely, and better and quicker than a healthy stomach
 can do the same thing. Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets will cure quickly loss of
 appetite, brash, irritation, burning sem sations, nausea, heartburn, eructations,
 loss of vim and spirit, bad memory and dyspepsia and indigestion in their very worst forms.
 No other little tablets in the world can do so much. You should carry
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets around with you wherever you go and take them
 after meals. Then only will you realize
 what it is to enjoy meal, and what
 perfect digestion means. Your whole
 body and your mind will feel the ef-
 fleets; your vim will increase, you will
 be more satisfied with what the world
 does, you will think happier and be
 happier, and your face will be one Of
 supreme contentment. That will bring
 You success, and then more success.
 Your face will bring you dollars. Try
 it. It will cost you just 50 cents for a
 package of these wonderful Stuarts
 Dyspepsia Tablets at any drug store on ! AarAA

cle, to eery 100 gallons of ethyl alcohol will be added ten gallons of wood alco hol and one-half gallon of benzine.
 "The denaturing process will be &C., complished on the distillery premises, where the alcohol is produced, in spec ial bonded warehouses.
 "Denatured alcohol will supplant very largely the consumption of wood alco- hol for both domestic and manufactur- ing purposes as it will be cheaper.
 "Khile the price of the completely de- natured product cannot now be dehnitel ly stated, it is believed it will not be more than thirty-five cents gallon. With regard to the specially denat- ured alcohol, the price of that will nat urally vary according to the cost of the denaturing ingredients selected to meet the necessities of the manufacturing in- dustries.
 These special agents will also be used where it is made perfectly appar- ent to the department that the indus | trial interests involved cannot use com- pletely denatured alcohol by reason of |
 the presence of wood alcohol or ben zine. In that case some other denatur- ing agent which will accomplish the purposes of destroying as far as possi- ble the potable or beverage qualities of the alcohol and at the same time adopt the denatured article to the special ends desired. will be determined upon
 Many manufacturers recover large proportions of alcohol originally used and reuse same at the present time; and this privilege will be extended to | the denatured product, and if necessary for its reuse the propretors of manu- ] facturing plants will be allowed to re- distill and redenature the recoverd al cohol, under governmental supervision
 The adoption of this legislation will require some extension of the force of the internal revenue bureau, especial ly for field work"
