"AII Grows Better"
"Thine own reproach alone do fear"
"All is we'll since all grows better"
Mr. Carnegie was asked: when Is
mans usefulness ripest?"
when he has attained to the highest
degree of perfection of which he is capa-
ble," was the reply. This means that II
he conserves his physical and mental pow
ers he will be ripest when he has attained
long life. At 20 am convinced that mans
usefulness increases with age. Kindliness
between man and man is showing proau-
ening tendency.
'It undoubtedly is not given to man to
explain why sickness and poverty and
sin are necessary in his order OF things.
1t has not been explained to US why tne
law of evolution obtains, providing that
the higher forms of life live upon the
lower. And since 1t is not given to use to
understand, it is better that we bow our
heads in recognition of the mandate,
Thy will - done
There will come time when wars
will be no more. The peace conference
at The Hague is speeding this end Men
are realizing the duty which they owe to
their fellowman, and with this realization
comes the knowledge that it is not right
TO kill"
Opposes Bull Fights
Mr. Carnegie says he found that the
Best way to spend joyous birthday ID
by following his own motto, make others
happy" Its application took the form OF
devoting good part of the day to his
little daughter. The afternoon was spent
st home In the afternoon father and
daughter attended the Elmendorf lecture
in Carnegie hall. The subject was "Ohi
Mexico"
II suggested to Mr.. Elmendorf that he
leave out the bull fight" Mr.. Carnegie
said, intimating that his suggestion was
kindly received Returning to his resi-
dence he found several callers, who had
waited until nearly 5 o'clock to extend
their congratulations. He was the mer-
riest of all in the drawing room, and fol-
lowed his guests to the door on their de-
parture, calling out to one CHEEKY fare
well which would have rejoiced the ears
of President Roosevelt.
|. Mr.. Carnegie at 20 is "the picture OF
health" His face has a ruddy color, and
his step has a springiness which tells OF
unwonted vitality He has his game of
golf two or three times week and other
wise spends as much time out of doors as
possible.

Appendicitis
How to Avoid IT and Escape sursi-
cal Operation, Told BY One
Who Knows
A Simple Method That is Always
Enicacious

1t has only been a few years since It
was discovered that surgical operation
would cure appendicitis; in fact, it has
been but short time since the disease
was discovered and named.
Whenever there is an intamed condi-
ton of the appendix, caused by impacted
faces in the small cavity opening into
the intestine, you then have appendicitis.
The older doctors used to call this in
fiammation of the bowels and were puz-
zled to know the cause.
Even, now, with all the knowledge we
have of the disease, no medical man can
teal you why we should have an appen-
dix, why we find Il where II Is or wnar
are its functions, If it has any.
The disease for which the operation Is
cure is usually caused by indigestion,
and in many cases follows large and
indigestible meal.
Physicians have until recently recon-
mended an operation, but now, as ii is
known that it is caused by indigestion
or dyspepsia cure without an operation
is assured.
Where the patient is treated with Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets the unhealthy
conditions prevailing rapidly disappear,
the stomach and intestines are placed
back in their normal condition, every
organ of the body operates as it 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 Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets handy in their
office, where in cases of sudden attacks
Of Indigestion they can relieve the patient
at once.
There is no record of a case of appen-
dicitis 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
who has been threatened with appen-
dicitis than to tell him to go to the drug
store, pay 80 cents and take home
package of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
Whenever heartburn, gas in stomach or
bowels, heart disease or stomach trou-
bles, sour eructions, acidity or fermen-
tation are present, act at once. Take
dose of the Tablets and get relief as soon
as possible.
At all druggists-50 cents.

NEW YORK, Dec. Tout of the full

have been crowned with more of sun

men in the allotted span of life, Andrew

he holds dearest of them all.
He stood in front of the fireplace in
his study yesterday afternoon when he
told of this recollection. Sheaves of pa

prominent in the worlds affairs and
dwelling fondly on the message which
each had sent. He took up a newly
delivered cablegram, glanced at it and
his manner changed instantly. 1t told
of the death of relative in Scotland.
The bouyant note which had marked his
every word gave way to one of profound
Sadness The paper in his hand trembled
as he said:

be no sadness in this day. JOY and sor-

happiness which a certain few hours had
meant for him.
