A Voice From
 The Stomach
A Bloodless Fight Between a
 Tablet and a Habit-The Tablet Wins.

At the age of 22, Clarence had good digestion. He had gastric juice that could dissolve doughnuts and turn ap- pleskins into good blood corpuscles.
 At the age of "A he began to be pro- fuse about the waist and lean back wards. He also began to cultivate sev- eral chins. In his new-found pride he began to thing it his duty to gorge himself on everything, the good and the bad, for appetite feeds on appetite --and every good thing is absurd.
 His pictures showed that he took on weight after he put his collar on.
 At the age of 26 Clarence married and went to boarding. On top of all this he attended oyster suppers and wine dinners, which reduced the size of his collars from 16h to 15. With still abiding faith in the strength of his stomach he gulped his meals and chewed them afterwards.
 lAt the age of 2S Clarence began to hear an inward voice--a warning from his stomach. After each meal, he would feel bloated-and belching became a habit.
 He began to be light eater-and a heavy thinker. He tried to think out a cure, for now he would sit down at his meals absolutely disgusted at the thought or sight of anything to eat.
 He would sit down at his meals with- out the trace of an appetite, just be- cause it was time to eat ,,yo,,I1 nFfaa foa1 ,,,, satisfied "still-hungry" feeling in his stomach, even after he was through eating, whether his meal was well cooked or not.
 And he suffered a good many other things with his stomach that he could not explain, but that made him grouchy, miserable, out-o' sorts and generally sour on everybody and every thing.
 Finally he read an account, some- thing like this, about the truly won dertul results obtained from Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of storn- ach trouble, dyspepsia, and so on. He bought BOG box at the drug store and took the whole box. When he started he had little faith-and less appetite. When he finished he had absolute faith and more appetite and more good cheer. Things began to taste different and better to him.
 Now he has no more dyspepsia, nc more indigestion, no more loss of ap- petite, brash, irritation, burning sen sation, nausea, eructions, bad mem ory, or loss of vim and vigor.
 Remember, one ingredient of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest for you 5000 grains of food, just as it did for | Clarence.
 This relieves your stoach of the work of digesting until your stomach can get strong and healthy again. Your stom- ach has been overworked and abused It's Tagged out. It needs rest Let Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets dc I the work of your stomach. You will be surprised how fine you'll feel after eating, and how lusciously good every. thing will taste to you.
 Heed the call of your stomach now There's a world of good cheer in one box of stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets-at any drug store, soc.

Competition Of the Catalogue

Why should the home merchant be

view and all sides there is no valid
reason why the merchant at home

guage or to produce an interesting bit
OF reading matter. but merely to state
in rev simple sentences what have
seen and learned of the competition be-
tween the catalogue houses and the
home merchants. In the first place no
one community suffers greatly in this
competition. That makes the problem
all the more difficult in solution
mean by this that the majority of buy
ers in no one community purchase by
mail. The business OF the mail order
house is scattered over large terri
tory, the number OF orders coming
from any one community compared
with the whole is comparatively small
to the number Of orders in the town.
There Is an exception to this in a COM
munfty where the home merchants are
dead ones and ask exhorbitant prices.

SOME REMARKABLE HORSES.
Wonderful Stories About the Steeds
Of Famous Men.

In his letters to Lord Granville, pub
lished by the Royal Philosophical So
ciety, who was also greatly interested
in natural history, Smithson, the
founder of the Smithsonian institution
in America, relates how the horse on
Alexander the Great Bucephalus
would at night, on hearing blast of
the trumpet from the soldiers on guard
showing the approach of the enemy.
run at great speed to his masters tent
and with his teeth grab the sleeping
monarch and shake him until he sprang
into the saddle and galloped toward
the enemy.
Also that the great Caliph Haroun- ell
Raschid in the eight century in march
ing toward the forces OF Queen Irene
of Constantinople constantly had a
number of trained Arabian horses (di-
rect descendants of the famous horse
owned by Ishmael 1000 years ago)
thrown forward as scouts, who from
time to time returned to camp and by
a peculiar whinny and neigh reported
the proximity Of the enemy.
But, to come down to the present
day. it is related by retired New
England clergyman, whose sands OF
life had nearly run out, that one day
on leading his horse down through a
lane to brook for a drink the animal
suddenly halted and, turning its head
round. grabbeh up with it's teeth one of
its hind shoes which had just drorped
off, and, holding it in its mouth with
the nails dangling, it backed up against
a stone wall and clapped it onto its
hoof and with few violent kicks
nailed it on again.

To illustrate There is a little city In
the central part of Wisconsin, a beau
tifu! little place, with its shady streets
and pleasant homes. 1t has several
gene raj stores owned by live, wide
awake merchants, who are hustling for
business, yet are always pleasant and
ready TO visit with a customer. They
are not put out at any time to show
goods taking down bolt after bolt of
cloth and maybe then not making even
a f"c-cent sale. They take that as
part of their business they are always
willing to send post, haste to the city
for any article they may not have in
stock that is wanted by customer;
their stocks are up-to-date and free
frola shelf-worn goods. These men
ma,l the humblest customers feel vel
con in their stores, and particular at
tention Is paid to waiting on children,
giving them even better measure and
quality than their elders would re-
ceive. And these men are advertisers
Their ads in the lScal papers are

and clearing of odds and ends. Here
is an instance where there is no legi-
innate excuse for a person sending
away after goods. And the people do
not Very few articles of general mer
chandise are shipped into that city
The buyer and seller are working in
harmony to their own betterment and
advantage.
But look at the other side. The city
which we have in mind has one hard
ware and one furniture store. Both
have fairly good stocks for the size of
their circle of trade, but just step into
either one OF these stores. The pro-
prietor may be in the back room or the
back yard for all you know, but by and
by some stir is heard and leisurely he
makes his appearance-neither store
has need of clerk-and probably with
some grul lbles about being disturbed
asks what Is wanted. There might as
we'll be placards in the store announc
ing Buy what I've go: and keep still'
and We are busy, don't disturb us
No effort is made to show you an arti-
Gle; nothing is ever taken down from
the shelves unless directly asked for.
Neither hardware nor furniture man
acts willing to get what you want if he
does not have it in stock. And again
neither one OF these stores believe in
advertising. They use no space in
thei' home papers; newcomer would
