RATIONAL CARE
 OF THE STOMACH
The Tonic Treatment Will Pre-. vent and Cure Most Cases
 of Indigestion.

The first essential of healthy dlges- tion is good, pure blood. Its work Is to furnish a normal flow of the diges- tive fluids keep up the activity Of the muscles of the stomach and take up the digested food and carry it to the different tissues of the body.
 The treatment of indigestion is. therefore. matter of keeping the blood supply of the stomach pure and normal. Loss of appetite. gas. heart burn and sour stomach are warnings or symptoms that the blood is impure and that. because of 1t. the stomach Is unable to perform It's work. An and the general debility following long sieges of sickness are the most frequent causes of indigestion.
 To restore the conditions for perfect digestion. IL Is necessary to purity and build up the blood. This explains the reason for the constantly increas- ing use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills in all cases of stomach trouble. They contain the clements necessary to make rich, red blood and have suc- ceeded where other remedies have failed.
 Mrs. William Pulse. of 4s Bennett street. Phillipsburg. N. J., whose hus- band Is a section foreman on the Penn sylvania Railroad. says:
 AD0ut nve years ago l began 10 De troubled with indigestion which was brought on. think. by overwork. l was often confined to bod for days at a time and once for three weeks. had acute pains In my stomach and bowels and headaches In the morning. l could not eat much of anything as the slightest morsel of food gave me terrible cramps. The pain was very Intense and twice the doctor prescrib- ed morphine for 1t. was greatly weakened and run down in health.
 T was under the care of two doc- tors at different times, but finally gave them up to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills which my aunt had recommend ed to me. used several boxes ac- cording to directions and was com pletely cured as I have had no re- turn of the trouble since and am In good health"
 If you are suffering from indiges- ton you are suffering unnecessarily. You can be cured. Proper attention to diet and the tonic treatment with Dr. Williams Pink Pills Is all that Is required in most cases. The first step Is to send to-day for a copy of our free diet book.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or sent. postpaid. on re- ceipt of price. soc per box; six boxes Tor $2.50. by the pr. Williams Medi- cine Co.,. Schenectady. N. Y.

aneer Use for Flsh.

Fishes have been put to many queer uses while still alive; but probably the strangest was that suggested to the war department by an inventor. The propulsion of submarine torpedoes was the subject under discussion, and he proposed that a shark be tmprison- ed in a tube at the rear end of the projectile, its movements to be con- troiled by the active application of electricity. In case the shark attempt ed to swim away, 1t was to be given an electric shock, and in this way kent on it's course until the torpedo had reached it's target.
 Another remarkable use to which a fish has been put Is as barometer. The loach is very suspectihle to att mosph erie changes. and when retained In an aquarium Is likely to throw It. self out at the approach of or during any remarkable change of wind or weather. or. if in pond or stream, will sometimes jump on the bank.

IS ALLOWED BAIL
KENNEDY HAD HIS PRELIMINARY
 HEARING.
On Charge Of Murder of Negro He Plead self-defense and Was Az
 lowed q Bond of $500.

The preliminary hearing of E. l. Kennedy. the young white man whe several weeks ago shot and instantly killed negro near the Red Bridgs Road, took place yesterday afternoon at { o'clock in the ofice of Justice of the Peace B. c. Young. On the hearing the justice deemed that a $500 ball would suffice to guarantee his appearance before the next grand jury.
 The evidence introduced yesterday afternoon tended to show that there had been a standing quarrel between the white man and the negro. and Kennedy's statement that the negro had advanced upon him in the little restaurant with a long knife. and that the shooting was self-defense. had considerable weight with the judge.
 While there were no eye-witnesses to the whole of the tragedy. 1t was stated that Kennedy was seen backing out of the restaurant, giving color to the statement that he had killed the negro in self-defense.
 The state contested the case we'll. hoping to raise the amount of bail necessary for Kennedy's appearance before the next grand jury. but Judge Young decided upon a $500 appear ance bond. Up to a late hour last night the bond had not been made, but 1t Is thought that 1t will be se- cured during this morning.

 Prior to spending some months in various Turkish cities I had a firm be- nef that the Turks were a cruel. de- prayed, dishonest, and licentious race. and that they were possessors of near, ly all the vices of humanity. It lid not take me long to find out that | had entertained altogether erroneous mo- tions, and that instead of being imbued with all manner of viIiainies. the Turks were in reality. for the most part an honest, kindly disposed, sincere people. cleanly in body and mind There are certain Mohammedan customs like the harem. which no one will defend. but the family life of the common people Is decent and admirable, for with the mid de and poorer classes 1t Is the excep- ton and not the rule for a man to have more than one wife.
 One thing that has caused the prev alent notion as to the badness of the Turks is that they get the blame of all the rascality that is committed by Greeks. Albanians.
