Great Possibilities.

Professor VIM. Aldrich spoke on the
Importance of the night school to the
young business man and endorsed it
as just the thing for the boy and man
who had not had an opportunity earlier
in life of receiving a thorough public
school education. His talk was also
interspersed with number of inter-
esting and comic anecdotes.
w. j. Fulton, POSTMASTER Of the
evening then made talk and as chair
man of the evening school committee
made talk on the Importance of the
night school and proposed, though
not member of the alumni of the
school to elect officers and form an
alumni for the school which would
boost the school and do all in it's pow
er for the betterment of the young
man in an educational line. One Of
the members Of the alumni then NOV
ed that such an alumni be formed and
the motion was carried whereupon Sec
rotary Pierce was chosen to appoint
officers instead of electing them by
ballot as is the usual way as the hour
was growing late.

Lord Bacon Said,
''Digest''
This is the Secret Of Life in Business
Or In Health.

This is the Secret Of Life in Business
Or In Health.
1t is claimed that Lord Bacon struck
the prime keynote of life when he
wrote: Some books are to be tasted,
others to be swallowed, and some few
to be chewed and digested."
He wrote of books; many who have
followed him have written likewise of
life. The man who digests his bust
ness, makes success; the actor or ac-
tress who digests his or her art brings
fame; the man who lives life and d.
gests it as he should lives as was the
intention he should live.
1t is not the food you swallow or
taste that brings happiness to you; 1t
is the food you digest.
If you swallow and taste and don't
digest and chew, Nature cannot give
you health. for you do not furish the
ammunition.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
in concentrated form the essences
which, when they reach the stomach,
turn dyspeptic conditions into those Of
healthy digestion.
These little tablets are dissolved In
the mouth by saliva; they mix with
this fluid and are passed down into
the stomach where they mediately
set to work upon the food and digest
it. They are many times more power.
full than the human digestive fluids
and thus replenish Nature with those
juices which sickness, abuse or wrong

Powders and liquids soon lose their
effectiveness through chemical actions
