MAN Is As Old
As His Stomach
This Persian Epigram Is the Real
Gauge of q Mans Life

THE Persians were a very sagaclous
people, noted, among other things Lor
their deep thinking on life ana the
things which make up life.
| The above epigram SHOWS the WIS
dom of their thought.
When a mans stomach is able to
furnish new material to the system as
fast or faster than the natural decay
of man requires, then such man lives
his fullest and his best.
When through wrong living or DIS
ease mans stomach begins to tax
the other organs ana taxes from the
blood strength which it cannot give
hack in nourishment taken from food,
then begins the death of man and he
DECAYS fast. The stomach is strong,
splendidly strong, and can stand an
untold amount of abuse and neglect,
but when it dies, man dies.
The stomach gives tons upon tons OF
good rich blood every year to the sys.
tenn and draws only $50 pounds Of
nourishment for it's own use. If, how
ever. the food which 1t receives cannot
he turned into blood which is capable of
use by the body, then the stomach re-
ceiyes no help from the other organs
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the most perfect digestive qualities
known to science and at the same
time the most powerful. They VIII mix
with the poisonous juices of sick
stomach and digest food in spite of
this handicap.
They will stop gas making and bad
breath. They tone up the nerves of
the whole digestive canal, including
those of the stomach.
A single ingredient contains strength
enough to digest 5000 times its weight
in mixed food.
They have stood the test of time and
today are more sought after than all
their imitators combined.
They are used and Endorsed by 10000
physicians. Every druggist sells them,
price soc. 1t costs nothing to demon
strate their value. Send us your name
and address and we viii send you a

New York cafe a suitable denouement
occurred to him in "The Lure of the
Mask" and he wrote it in crisp fashion
on an envelope, which he laid on the
table at which he ate. He left 1t there.
The waiter, an Italian, found the en-
velope, and was thrilled by this sem
tence: Have Giovanni stab the horse
of the Prince di Monte Blanca as ne
enters the gorge ON the Florence road.
Horse and rider to be hurled to death
down the rocks.
The waiter was greatly perturpeo py
his discovery, and he consulted with
compatriots, who decided that it must
be the work of a Black Hand conspira-
tor and that dire things impended Tor
an Italian prince. Their duty was plain
the ambassador must be warned.
Fearful of leak in the mails or tel
egraph service, the waiter who FOUND
the envelope carried the outlined plot
to Washington, and with great pride
presented it to Signor Mayor des
Planches. The ambassador had knoWl-
edge of Signor Harold MacGrath' put
as a man of romance, of imagination;
and not of plots. However, he would
see about it, and the state department
telegraphed to the author at Syracuse
A fully reassuring and satisfactory
answer was returned and the perturbed
walter returned to New York

TO STAGE LURE OF THE MASK
Putting Harold MacGratfl's Latest Novel
In Dramatic Form

"The Lure of the Mask" Harold Mac
Grath's latest novel. published by the
Bobbs-Merrill company, is in course of
dramatization by Leo Ditrichstein, and
in its play form will soon be seen upon
the stage.
The novel was published in May, and
is one of the best selling of Mr.. Mac
Grath's books, rivaling even the au-
thor's Man on the Box" and Half a
Rogue"
In the book Sonia is the principal
character, and she will hold that place
in the dramatic version. One of the
scenes is where she dimes incognito and
en- masque with billiard, where she
draws a line across the middle of the
tablecloth, beyond which he may not
pass When Mr.. MacGrath was at work
on the story he was in the habit of
making notes on envelopes or pieces
of paper he had in his pockets. In a

FAILS TO PROVE CHARGES
AGAINST DIVORCED WIFE
Court Decides That Mrs. Lilly Burns
Is Entitled to Retain Custody Of
Children, as Previously
Granted

The efforts of Michael Burns, a street
car conductor, to secure a court order
by which his two children might be re-
stored to him, met with failure in the
superior court yesterday.
Mrs. Lilly Burns, who was given Gus
tody of the children when she was
granted a divorce in April, was charged
by Burns with conduct unbecoming q
mother, and a large number of persons
from East Hollywood, where Mrs.
Burns lives, were called to testify in
the case, which has extended over a
period of three weeks. Judge James,
however, refused to change the pre-
vious order of the court.

The manner in which Knabenshue

years ago. 1t shows a control which

MODERATE PRICED HOMES.
How Trolleys Have Helped--Fine or
 fer by Enterprise Realty Go.

Trolley roads are playing a great factor in pritate homes in New Ha- ven. The lay of New Haven permits of almost indefinite expansion and ir almost every direction this expansion Is evidenced Anyone who will look back twenty or thirty years will find that what then was outlying pr ropert, Is now very desirable and very thick. lv built up residential localities Per haps the most pronounced of all is the northern part of the city eontig- uous to orange street and Whitney avenue This all makes for private homes and releases the central prop erty for business and professional or other uses where a commercial feat ure enters-public buildings, boarding houses, etc
 Keeping pace with this change-the style Of architecture has changed. Years ago central block houses were much in vogue People sought cen- tral localities and central property was thus utilized to its utmost capacity. To-day people are seeking private homes which have an air of home about and within them. Architects and builders realize this and as a re- suit all about the city these houses are going and have been going up rapidly.
 One grand feature with many of these new buildings is that they are family houses and still each fam fly is entirely apart from the other separate entrances, separate furnaces separate set tubs. etc.
 This arrangement of homes brings the cost of the two very much less than If they were separate buildings. 1t permits men of moderate means to buy and occupy one flat and rent the other It means eventually the own ership clear of q nice home which also becomes a source of income.
 These thoughts were suggested by the presence on the market of five or six new houses (there were originally eight) of this character on Shelton avenue on and near the corner of | Reed street They were built by con- tractors CThe Enterprise Realty Co.,. see advertisement on page 4) built at one time, built during the slack sea- son. built neatly and conveniently, moderately and welt and are being offered on very easy terms at prices that private party could not buy tne lot and duplicate them for. They are worth looking into. They are on or just off the trolley line and twelve minutes walk from "Winchester's
