Poor Tools and
A Good Worker
That Is What Makes Indigestion, Dys-
pspsia, Sour Taste, Foul Breath
AHd Catarrh

The stomach Is a good strong vital
organ, which is constantly protecting
and feeding every other organ of the
body.
1t is the most abused, neglected and
scorned member of man also Most
men abuse their stomachs with under
cooked food high living alcohol. to-
bacco, pastries and scores of other un-
healthy practices.
When the stomach at last sickens of
all this abuse and cannot do its full
duty, most men are not warned, but
keep up their assaults on the stomach
until at last it rebels and begins to
strike back and cry for help. Man by
his own abuse has taken away from
the stomach the tools to work with.
These tools are the gastric juices
which go to make up the digestive
agents. From to 35 lbs. of gastric
juice are turned into the stomach
every day.
When poor poisonous food CON
sumes this juice, dilutes it, robs it of its
strength and throws it, fermented
mass from the system, Of course there
is Just that much of the gastric fluid
which cannot be readily supplied by
the blood.
When food comes into a stomach
filed with depleted fluids lacking OF
power to do their part, the good strong
stomach is using poor tools ana, OF
course. cannot succeed in its work.
A condition which often prevails is
that which takes place when the gastric
Juice contains too much alkali If the
Juice were wholly alkaline 1t would
not only devour and digest the fluid
but would eat and digest the stomach
itself Such gastric fluid does the di-
gestion no good and attacks the walls
of the stomach, making them raw anc
sore and setting up inflammation anc
irritation.

PARK SECRETARY WRITES
HE is READY TO RESIGN
Mayor Regrets Action Taken by coun-
ell and Does Not See His Way
Clear to Accepting
Offer

SANTA MONICA. Nov. 14.-Mayor
T. II. Dudley is in receipt of COM
munication from Secretary of the Park
Commission E. II. Sweetser, in which
the latter expresses himself as ready
to resign if it is the pleasure of the
mayor.
The secretary takes occasion in the
letter to express his appreciation of
the kindnesses shown him by his
honor throughout his administration.
Mayor Dudley stated to a correspon-
dent that he regretted the action of
the members of the council in asking
for the resignation of Mr.. Sweetser, but
did not see his way clear to ask for
the same. Said he: "Sweetser has
done some very efficient work for the
city while on the park commission
aud all without one cent of remunera-
ton 1 have made any number of in
quiries among the citizens, and, IN
stead of censuring him, they are all
inclined to pat him on the back.
AT present the trouble seems to
narrow down to a personal dispute
between the commissioner and the
chairman of the finance committee,
arising over a difference of opinion as
to the disposal of park funds.

Ventilate Well,

An old writer says. when men lived
In houses of reed they had constitu-
lions of oak; when they lived in houses
of oak they had constitutions of reeds"
This is picturesque description of the
injury which may come to us from
fine houses too closely confined to keep
out the fresh air and too heavily cur
tanned, preventing the entrance of sun
shine, which is almost if not quite as
important as air. But it is not at all
necessary to have our fine houses I'M
healthy, and it requires only intelli-
gence and thOughtfulness to render a
brick house as good a promoter of
health as cabin. Fresh air will come
Into well ventilated modern houses as
well as through the open cracks of a
house of reeds and sunlight through a
window in palace as well as a hovel.

In the town Of Somerset in this State,
one man holds seven offices, and another
holds six. Think of the fearful strain
they must be under, particularly when
we consider that both these civic heroes
are listers, constables and school direc
tors. And, forsooth, they are auditors
as well, having earned the privilege of
putting an o. K. upon their own ac-
counts 1t might be only right and proper
to keel Somerset over into some real big
town, where the ability of these hard
worked officials could be compensated by
providing, out of the town cash. box, an
annuity for life. These patriots may
we'll be considered as candidates for the
laurel wreath.

The Discovery of Iron.

The stone age. bronze age and iron
age so overlap one another it is i'm
possible to say just when one begins
or ends. Men began to use both bronze
and iron long before stone had ceased
to be used. In fact, America was in
the stone age so late as its discovery
by Columbus 400 years ago. 1t is safe
to say that history proper and the
iron age were born together anywhere
from 5000 to 10000 years ago. 1t is
more than likely that men gained their
first information concerning the prop
critics of iron through experiments with
the pieces of it that had fallen from
the Sky in the shape of meteors.-New

SECRET WRITING.
How Letters May Be Made Safe From
Pryini Eyes.

eJuos
Even with tb, most unromantic Of
us occasions sometimes arise when we
should like to make some memoran-
dun or write some letter which cannot
be read except by those we wish to do
so. Here Is simple method:
Soak a sheet Of note paper in cold
water and lay it perfectly fat upon a
pane Of glass. Place above it another
sheet, dry this time, and on the upper
sheet write your message with a fairly
hard pencil. You now destroy the dry
paper and allow all the moisture to
evaporate from the wet piece. Don't
hold it to the fire, but let it dry nat
urally. If you then examine it close
~ you will see not the faintest trace Of
writing, but If you moisten the paper
once more and hold it up to the light
you can read quite plainly all you
wrote. 1t will show up like the water
mark on postage stamp. This meth
cd, by the way, is sometimes adopted
by convicts. They use their Cruel
cans instead of glass and sharp piece
of wood for pencil.
Another way Is less dirty and even
more effective. Lay several sheets of
paper on fiat surface and write upon
the top one. Then remove the bottom
sheet, on which no impression appears.
If you hold this in the vapor of iodine.
however, the writing will turn brown
and he quite legible. The explanation
is plain. The note paper contains
starch which on being pressed turns
to hydramide, substance which is
acted on by iodine in the manner de-
scribed.-Answers

SOUL HOUSES.
One Of the Queer Customs Of the An.
eient Egyptians.

Gent Egyptians.
Egyptian soul houses were curious
edifices made probably between the
tenth and twelfth dynasties-that is.
about 1900 and 1900 b. c. The same
principle that caused the warriors
steed TO be slain on his grave seems to
have actuated the early Egyptians
when they built house for the dead
mans soul.
The beginning of the custom was
that mat was laid on the grave, with
pan of food upon it. Afterward this
Offering was carved in stone as ia
BILE of offerings to give permanent sat
isfaction for the soul. Then to the ia
BILE was added shelter copied from an
Arab tent. and this gradually was
elaborated. The shelter was placed on
columns, hut was put into this por-
tico chambers were copied, and finally
appeared complete two story houses
furnished with pottery models Of
couch, chair, stool, fireplace and the
figure of a woman<making bread.
The soul was conceived of as ascend
ing from the grave through the ground
and requiring shelter while feeding on
its everlasting provision, and yet,
though it assembled through the earth.
it needed a staircase to go up to the
upper floor. and the soul had donkey,
for which manger was required

A terrible example of the effects of
drinking is shown in the case of the
South Poultney man whose body was
found frozen stiff under the grandstand
of the Poutney fair grounds, he having
laid down there nearly six weeks ago.
The unfortunate man was known as a
hard drinker, and beyond a doubt had
lain down while in drunken stupor
and froze to death. And in spite of this
and thousands of other cases, we still
hear nearly every day, 81 can drink or
i can let it alone" John Burns, the

Working men ask me to make a new

each week" Mr.. Burns has a practical
experience to judge from, and no man
can call him crank or visionary. He
tells the truth.

THE PURSER'S JOKE.
Why Religious Services Were Not Held
on That Trip.

why heHglOuS SERVICES were MOI fIeIo
on That Trip.
On most of the big ocean steamers
minister is usually found among the
passengers. and invariably he is called
upon on Sunday to conduct religious
service in the main dining saloon. De-
casionally the man of the cloth seeks
the purser and asks if he may conduct
service on the Sabbath. A case of
this sort happened recently on one of
the Red ID steamers on the run from
New York to La Guayra. A young
minister who three days before the
steamer sailed had taken orders from
seminary. and a day later a wife
asked the purser If he might conduct
religious service on the following day,
which was Sunday The purser re-
piled that the dining saloon was at his
disposal and that the passengers
shall the service begin?" asked the
young minister. The purser rubbed
his brow a moment and replied that
he could begin at mine bells" The
minister and his bride appeared in the
dining saloon at 8 o'clock in the morn
ing and waited four hours for the con-
gregation, which did not come. On
the following day he listened again for
mine bells" but heard them not.-New
York Tribune.
