allied to the apes. Now a special expe-

local Methodist church, took in a poor
ly clad stranger, fed and housed him
and finally gave him a home for SO a
week, which would cover the bare
cost OF his board he thought at first
that he was dispensing charity to a
pauper and later that he was assisting
a man who had barely enough to pay
for the nominal living.
On the death OF the mysterious
stranger. who has been at the Baker
house for almost a year, a will was
found, giving to the pastor $1,000 the
entire estate OF the guest, who turned
out to be Jonathan T. Niles. who dis
appeared from Jewett City last year,
leaving word that he was going West.
Instead. Do seems that he was trying
TO find whether genuine charity, with
out hope Of reward, existed in the
world. He felt so well satisfied with
the result Of his experiment that he
stayed at the Baker home until his
death.
He had no near relatives. He left
several bank books and fat blocks OF

Catarrh of
the Stomach
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Ef-
feetual Cure For It.
COSTS NOTHING TO ray.

Catarrh Of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a fun or bloat-
ed sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings,
a formation OF gases, causing pressure
on the heart and lungs and difficult
breathing, headaches. tickle appetite,
nervousness and a general played out
languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and II the In
terror Of the somach could be seen It
would show a slimy inhamed condi-
tion.
The cure for this common and OBJ
stinate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to he readily
and thoroughly digested before It has
time to ferment and irritate the deli
cate mucous surfaces Of the stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy diges-
tion Is the one necessary thing to do
and when normal digestion Is secured
the catarrhal condition will have dis
appeared.
According to DIR. Harlanson, the SAT-
est and best treatment Is to use after
each meal a tab'et. composed Of Dias-
tase, Aseptic Pepsin. a little Nux. Cold
en- Seal and fruit acids. These tablets
can now be found at all drug stores un-
der the name Of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets and not being a patent medi-
cine can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite
and thorough digestion viii follow their
regular use after meals.
Mr.. r. s. Workman, Chicago, Ills.
writes: "Catarrh is a local condition
resulting from a neglected cold i'm the
head, whereby the lining membrane of
the nose becomes infiamed and the poi
sonous discharge therefrom passing
backward into the throat reaches the
stomach, thus producing catarrh Of the
stomach. Medical authorities pre-
scribed for me for three years for ca
tarrh Of stomach without cure. but to-
lday I am the happiest OF men after us
ing only one box OF Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets I cannot find appropriate
words 10 express my good feeling. I
have found flesh, appetite and sound
rest from their use"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the saf-
est preparation as well as the simplest

ach, biliousness. sour stomach, heart
