What the Proper Celebration of the day Will Cost m this Period of Pros perity.

Chicago. Nov. 24.-(SpeciaD Some where are the culprits who can cele- brate Thanksgiving day just because the dinners will cost Chicago people those who can afford any--5O per cent more than ten years ago. Where are they? Why. dinky little family of five can't gorge itself in true Thanks giving manner on less than a ten dollar note The commission men say the farmers are robbers: the farmers say it's the commission man, the retailer. too. lays it all upon the commission man. and the housewife ihas troubles explaining to her husband. There's reason enough: Turkeys have been selling at 25 cents a pound. cranberries, in spite of Cape Gods big crop. at 12lLc quart. pumpkins al 20 cents each and oysters at 40 cents a quart Ten yeas ago the turkey cost only IS cents pound. cranberries cents the quart. pumpkins h cents a piece and oysters 25 cents a quart. Who is il that is prospering? All food is 40 per cent higher on the average; the re- taller sells celery at an advance oi 100 per cent over the cost. But, never theless. the Thanksgiving dinner fol i Chicago will cost about s2.5O0.000. ant Chicago has the price"-in cash anC clearing house certificaes

 Perhaps there will be thanksgiving if the plans of Col. John $. Cooper of this city, for a national park at the head quarters of the Mississippi in Minnesota are not to be abandoned. in spite of the death of Colonel Cooper. In behalf of the Minnesota Park and Forest Association, whose real head quarters have been Colonel Cooper's law office in the Tacoma building. he had planned to go to Washington again to urge upon the next Congress the project to which he had given impetus, that of setting apart a great domain some 5.00O.000 of Drimeval forest dot ted with lakes. Longfeilow's Land of Hiawatha". Colonel Cooper had so familiarized himself with the region it. self by his annual outings there. and had collected such a fund of reasons to overcome the timidity of Congress about keeping any land away from settlers that he felt confident that at lesaI he would win the day. Now others are interesting themselves In the project and il may not die with it's principal champion. The first step will be recruiting the membership of the. association.

Washington. Nov. 26.-Naval off cials say that there is not the slight est doubt that Admiral Evans fleet lwill start on it's Pacific cruise on scheduled time. December 16. The amount of work to be done upon the big ships in dock was probably over estimated by persons who predicted

4 Voice From
 The Stomach
4 sIoodless Fight Between a Tablet and a Habit-The Tablet Wins.

At the age of 9. Clarence had good digestion. He had gastric juice that could dissolve doughnuts and turn appleskins into good blood corpuscles.
 At the age of A he began to be profuse about the waist and lean backwards. He also began tO cultivate several chins In his new-found pride he began to think il his duty to gorge himself on everything. the good and the bad. for appetite feeds on appe- tite-and every good thing k abused.
 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 collar from l6Is to l.. With still abiding faith in the strength of his stomach he gulped his meals, and cheWed them afterwards.
 At the age Of 2S Clarence began to hear an inward voice-a warning from the stomach. After each meal he would feel bloated-and belching be- came 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 pr sight Of anything to eat.
 He would sit down al his meals without the trace of an appetite. just because it was time to eat
 He would often feel a gnawing. un- satisfied still hungry" feeling in his stomach. even after he was through
 
 cooked or not.
 And he suffered 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 ev- erything.
 Finally he read an account some thing like this. about the truly won derful results obtained from Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of stomach trouble, dyspepsia, and so on. He bought soc 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. no more indigestion. no more loss of ap- petite. brash. irritation. burning sen sation. heartburn. nausea. eructations. bad memory. or loss Of vim and vigor.
 Remember. one ingredient of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest for you 5000 grains of food, just as il did for Clarence.
 This relieves your stomach of the work Of digesting until your stomach can get strong and healthy again. Your stomach has been overwoTked and abused. Its Jagged out. IL needs a rest.
 Let Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do 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 the stomach now, There's a world of good cheer in one box of SUarts Dyspepsia Tablets-at any drug store. soc.
