Society,"

Threatening weather nor the several
inches of rain, more or less, of rain
that had fallen during the recent storm.
deferred a company of between 200 and
300 society folk from attending the mid
winter assembly at Kramer's last
night.
The scene was a brilliant one. the
big ballroom was canopied with strings
of electric lights that were festooned
from the dome to the cornice, the
myriad of incandescents being shaded
with butterfly tulle bows in rainbow
tints. The company, while perhaps not
numbering quite SO many as at some
previous assemblies, was large enough
to make the occasion notable one,
and the handsome gowns worn by the
women were among the most striking
seen this season. Downstairs in the
supper room an overhead canopy or
smilax and vari-colored electric lights
added a gay beauty to the scene.
Patronesses for the evening were
Mines. Allen c. Balch, George j. Denis
Will E. Dunn, Jaro Won Schmidt and
Fred Bixby.
At the next assembly in March, the

sented to act as hostesses for the even

A Great Psychologist
Once Said the Way to Keep the
Stomach Healthy Is to
Exercise 1t
But He Did Not Tell How to Make
1t Healthy

The muscles of the body can be de-
yeloped by exercise until their strength
has increased manifold, and a proper
amount of training each day will ac-
complish this result. but it is somewhat
doubtful whether you can increase the
digestive powers of the stomach by
eating indigestible food in order to
force it to work.
Nature has furnished us all with a
perfect set of organs, and If they are
not abused they will attend to the bust
ness required of them. They need no
abnormal strength.
There is limit to the weight a man
can lift, and there is also a limit to
what the stomach can do.
The cause of dyspepsia, indigestion
and many affiliated diseases is that the
stomach has been exercised too much
and 1t is tired or worn out. Not exer-
else, but rest, is what it needs.
To take something into the stomach
that will relieve it from Its work for
short time-something to digest the
| food-will give it rest and allow 1t
time to regain its strength
The proper aid to the digestive or
gans is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
which cure dyspepsia, indigestion. gas
on the stomach and bowels, heartburn.
palpitation of the heart, and all stom-
ach diseases.
Rest and inauguration. is what the
stomach gets when you use Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, for one grain of the
active principle In them is sufficient to
digest 5000 grains of food.
The Tablets increase the flow of gas
trio juice, and prevent fermentation,
acidity and sour eructations.
Do not attempt to starve out dyspep-
STA. You need all your strength,
The commonsense method is to di-
gest the food for the stomach and give
1t a rest.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not
make the cure, but enable the organs
to throw off unhealthy conditions.
Perfect digestion means perfect
health, for under these conditions only
do the different organs of the body
work right and receive the building-up
material found in pure blood.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a aatu-
raj remedy and is specific for stomach
troubles The ablest physicians pre-
scribe them.
The Tablets are pleasant to the
taste. and are composed Of fruit and
vegetable extracts, golden seal and
pepsin.
