Appendicitis
How To Avoid 1t and Escape Surgi. cal Operation, Told By One
 Who Knows.
A Simple Method That Is Always
 Fife acious

A Simple Method That Is Always Efficacious. It has only been a few years since it was discovered that surgical operation would cure appendicitis in fact, it has been but a short time since the disease was discovered and named Whenever there is an inhamed condi- tion of the appendix, caused by impacted faeces in the small cavity opening into the intestine. you then have appendi- citis.
 The older doctors used to call this in- fammation of the bowels and were pug zled to know the cause. Even now, with all the knowledge we have of the disease, no medical man can tell you why we should have an appendix. why we find it. where it is. or what are it's functions. if it has any. The disease for which the operation is cure is usually caused by indigestion. and in many cases follows a large and indigestible meal
 Physicians have until recently recom- mended an operation. but now, as 1t Is known that 1t Is caused by indigestion. or dyspepsia. cure without an operation is assured
 Where the patient is treated with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. the unhealthy conditions prevailing rapidly disappear, the stomach and intestines are placed  organ of the body operates as 1t should. and the Inflammation is reduced and the operation is avoided.
 Conscientious physicians. who are look ing after the best interests of their pa- tients. will always keep a supply of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets handy in their office, where In cases of sudden attacks of indigestion they can relieve the pa tient at once
 There Is no record of a case of ap- pendicitis where the stomach and bowels were in healthy condition and properly digested the food from meal to meal.
 No better advice can be given to any one who has attacks of indigestion. or vho has been threatened with appendi-

Handling of Criminals.
Several times in his story, Mr.. Hough
digresses to bring out his ideas regarding
the handling of criminals and to point
particularly in the great cities. He does
this cleverly and generally his ideas seem
to be sound, rough though some OF his
suggested remedies be.
Among the characters treated IN the
book are Henry Plummer, Boone Helm
Joseph A. Slade. Billy the Kid. John A
Murrell, wild Bill Hickok, Sheriff r
+. Garrett of New Mexico, and many
others. some as criminals and others as
effective peace officers. Much OF the
book has been told before in many ways
and some of it is new. Probably Mr.
HOughs accounts are as near the trutf
as possible. He admits the difficulty Of
getting authentic data regarding many o.
his characters but his book mas inter

 He came forward politely as they entered. turning to Hastings for in- formation as to his wants. Avice pres- sed eagerly forward.
 Are you Esnah. son of Hamid?' she demanded. Are you the man who lost the purse?"
 T am he." said the Egyptian, with a flash of his white teeth beneath tho black mustache
 Avice's face fell She had anticipat- cd a man wrapped in mystic robes sit- ting over brazier on which bubbled caldron. He was a very ordinary shopkeeper without even fez to lend color.
 There were in the purse s14 and some most important papers. It was or red leather. with strap" he went on.
 This must be yours" she said as she passed over the purse.
 T am most obliged" said Esnah sharply scrutinizing the couple. He could see that a money reward was not sought. May I offer the lady a slight souvenir token of appreciation of her goodness?"
 Have you a lucky charm?" she ask ed. turning from the gay scarves he was lingering
 Esnah smiled and went 10 the rear of the store. where the safe stood. It was not the first time charm had been requested He drew from a drawer an oddlooking stone. It was one of many that came from Germany and cost $S a gross. but Avice received ;ptn pocketbook with elaborate care.
 Esnah stood politely in the attitude of one whose business is cons1uded and who waits only to be dismissed. But AvicA was not through. Sho wandered rabout the store looking at the stock, and making a few small purchases to justify her curiosity. until at last she gained courage.
 ''Please,' she said softly, Esnah was all attention.
 T want to know" she went on hur- riedly. what your father did to the thief who took his pocketbook and did not return it."
 My father was Hamid, son of Ak kar," began the Egyptian. "To the merchants of Alexandria he was well known. One day in the market place he lost his wallet For three days he told of his loss, and then on the third day"
 "Yes?" Avice was almost leaning over the counter.
 "On the third day." repeated Esnah, ''he decided he would see his pocket book no more, so he went and bought another"
 Ned" said Avice softly. as they came in sight of her home, If you promise never to tell"
 T won't rub it in' he promised. Then III marry you if still want me. I guess I'm cured of supersti- tion."
