THE FACE IN ILLNESS.
70 the Trained Eye II Quickly Shows
a Patients Condition.

The face is a good index to the state
Of ones physical being, and from 1t
symptoms Of disease can be detected
almost before the patient is aware that
anything serious Is the matter with
him. For instance, incomplete closure
Of the eyelids, rendering the whites Of
the eyes visible during sleep, Is a
symptom In all acute and chronic dis
eases of a severe type. 1t is also to be
observed when rest Is unsound from
pain wherever seated.
Twltching of the eyelids, associated
with the oscillation Of the eyelids, or
squirting, heralds the visit Of convul-
siOns. A
Widening of the orifices Of the nose,
with movements of the nostrils to and
fro. points to embarrassed breathing
from disease Of the lungs or their
plural investment.
Contraction Of the brows indicates
pain In the head, sharpness Of the nos
trils pain in the chest and a drawn
upper lip pain In the abdomen.
To make general rule. 1t may be
stated that the upper third OF the face
Is altered in expression In affections OF
the brain and the middle third In the
diseases of the organs contained In the
abdominal cavity.

REQUEST eoR REcEIyERsHIF
Is Made by credItors---Founder Of ths
Combine Sought to Control All
Steamship Lines on the
Atlantic Coast.

Boston, Jan. 81. - Proceedings II
this city for receivership for the
Consolidated Steamship Co. were in
stituted Thursday simultaneously with
those In the courts at Portland, Me.
and New York. The action was
brought by William A. Muller, Of Ar
lington, Mass, whose counsel FLED
three bills of complaint against the
consolidated and also against two sub
sidiary companies, the Eastern u,d
Metropolitan steamship companies.
It is expected that as soon as this
United States court in, New York acts
upon the petition filed there, similar
proceedings will result in the courts
here and in Portland.
The difficulties Of the CONSOLIDATED
Steamship CO. are regarded by bank
ers here as the result of excessive
steamship building and failure on the
part of the company to provide sink
ing fund for the bonds of the six com
panies that were consolidated By
Charles w. Morse, Of Bath, Me.
1t was Mr.. Morse's ambition to coii
troll all the steamship companies Ell
gagged In the coastwise trade. Two
years ago he consolidated all the
steamship lines running between Bos
ton and Maine ports under the heat
of the Eastern Steamship Co. He ther
obtained control of the metropolitan
Steamship Co. with line of boat.
between this city and New York. ant
later secured four lines running soutf
from New York, the New York an,
Cuba mail route, known as the Ware
line; the Clyde Steamship Co., ths
Mallory Steamship Co. and the New
York and Porto Rico Steamship Co
The Consolidated Steamship Lines Co.
a Maine corporation, was then formed
as holding company for these s!'
lines, with an authorized bond issue
of $60,000,000 at per cent and se2,
100000 in stock
As soon as the consolidation was
effected contract was made for the
construction of q number OF steam
ships and the first production in thi,
line was the Harvard and Yale. which
ran between this city and New Yorl
for two months last fall. The finan
cial condition of the Consolidated
Steamship Co. during the latter par
of the summer began to attract at
tention. especially when It wal
learned that over $4,000 900 had beer
taken from the earnings Of the 81,
companies in order 70 pay for thu
Harvard and Yale.
When the financial crash came las
October which carried down severa
financial institutions In which Morse
was heavily Interested. support wa

gained wide circulation. While M
such reorganization yet has takel

Cotton Spinning Fe.ts.

"Sea island cotton is the best kind"
said southerner. 1T is finer and
silkier than any other cotton In the
world. A pound Of 1t can be spun into
Alto miles of thread. For an expert
ment once In the English town Of
Manchester o skilled spinner spun a
pound Of sen island cotton into sin
gle thread 1000 miles long. Then for
another experiment he took another
pound of cotton and spun It into as
mapy hanks as he could get. He got
10000 hanks IN oil, and the yarn In
each measured $40 yards. Thus. out
Of pound of cotton 4,770 miles of
yarn was produced. This yarn, though,
was too fine to be Of any practical
utility. Those two experiments made
a superb experiment for the cotton Of

On Said The wsy 70 Kasp he
Stomach Healthy Il to
Exercise Il.
But He Did Mo- Tell How 10 Make Il
Healthy.

The muscles Msiss of iho bJdy can be a.
'veloped by exercise until their
strength has increased manifold, and
"a proper amount Of training each day
will accomplish this result, but 1t Is
somewhat doubtful whether You can
increase the digestive powers Of the
stomach by eating indigestible food
in order to force 1t to work.
Nature has furnished us all with a
perfect set of organs, and II they are
not abused they will attend to the
business required by them. They
need no abnormal strength.
There Is limit to the weight a
man can lift, and there is also 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 exercise but rest is what It needs.
10 take something into the stom-
ach that will relieve 1t from Its work
for a short something to d.
'gest the food--will give 1t 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, palpftation of the heart,
and all stomach diseases.
Rest and invigoration is what the
stomach gets when you use Stuart
Dyspepsia Tablets, for one grain OF
the active principle in them is suffi-
cient to digest 1900 grains of food.
The Tablets increase the flow of
gastric Juice, and prevent fermenta-
ton, acidity and sour eructions.
Do not attempt to starve out dys-
pepsia. You need all your strength
The common sense method is to di-
gest the food for the stomach and
give 1t rest.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not
make the cure, but enables the organs
0 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
food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is nat
nral remedy and Is specific for
tomach troubles. The ablest ply
icians prescribe them.
The Tablets are pleasant to the
aste. and are composed of fruit and
vegetable extracts, golden seal and
