Lord Bacon Said
 Digest
This Is the Secret of Life In Business
 Or In Health.

Or In Health.
 It 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 rev 10 pc che"eo and digested."
 He wrote of books; many who have followed him have written likewise of life. The man who digests his business, makes success; the actor or actress who digests his or her art brings fame; the man who lives life and digests it as he should lives as was the intention he should live.
 It is not the food you swallow or taste that brings happiness to you; it 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 furnish the am- munition.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain in pure 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 immediately set to work upon the food and digest it. They are many times more powerful than the human di- gestive fluids. and thus replenish nature with those juices which sickness, abuse or wrongful eating have exhausted.
 The worlds best chemists in Europe and America agree on the ingredients best adapted to perfect digestion. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are these ingredients presented to the stomach in the most pleasant and lasting form.
 Powders and liquids soon lose their ef- fectiveness through chemical actions and decay Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made under terrific pressure. and their qualities are thus made lasting.
 Forty thousand physicians prescribe and use these tablets, and every druggist sells them. Price. 50 cents. Send us your name and address and we will send you trial package by mail free. Address F. A. Stuart Co.,, 150 Stuart Building, Marshall, Mich. ,4

Settle Cornerstone Question.

The question that was raised a short time tince as to what would be in scribed on the cornerstone of the new high school was decided tonight by the school board
 The stone will be Georgia marble. On one side will be inscribed the names of the present members of the board of education.
 On the other side will be Laid with Masonic Rights" and the names of the mayor and present board of aldermen.
 It is more than likely that tho build ing will be known as the McTyeire High school, as Dr. R. F. McTyeire has for a long time taken much interest in the public schools of the city, and it was from him that the beautiful lot on which the school building is located was purcha

Autumn and the Wedding

Popular favor seems to have chosen Oc- tober and December as the two most desirable wedding months of the year, possibly with the exception of June.
 Autumn offers decorative schemes as beautiful as June. Massng of red and yellow foliage is q pleasing departure from the conventional. Golden rod is pretty, banked by itself or with a back ground of dark green, or deep red and brown. In decorating a church better ensemble effect is produced by grouping the flowers entirely at the sides. Care less effect are unsatisfactory. Marking off the aisles Is prettily done by ropes of leaves cor golden rod.
 One of this autumn's brides will have the florist construict out of a very wide, deep window recess a veritable leafy bower, in which she will be married. A frame work made of cord will first be stretched overhead in a line with the top of the window casing, and when branches of leaves are intertwined and tiny in candescent lights set among them, 1t will be reasonably sure to please.
 Place cards and souvenirs for the
 
 esting. Small booklets, two inches by three and half, with the bridesmaids s name engraved in the lower right-hand corner, and, inside, vignettes of all the bridesmaids and the brice, are attractive. A "wood' photograph of the bride, or a leather card case, with small photo graph, makes appropriate souvenir. Silver fern dishes, with monogram, also are ac- ceptable favors.
 At one luncheon, recently givens min iature electric lamp medallion shade stud ded with small jewels was at each place. In the center of each of four round tables was one of those mound-shaped Japanese shades, with low lamp placed beneath. From each of Its lacquered ribs there stretched to the edge of the table string of small autumn leaves.
 Leaves are suggestive of many methods of garnishing a table. The cloth that entirely covers has again become popular. It permits of a wider scope for decora- tion and is on the whole more effective than the doylie.

Housed Cleaning Days

During the house-cleaning days, when carpets are taken up and cleaned, wall paper renewed, curtains washed and fur niture upholstered, the housewife may want to make use of the following formu- las, which have been given by experts:
 INK SPOTS ON CARPETS.
 If the carpet in the living room or the library has ink spots on 1t try this rem edy: First pour cold water on the spot if it is a fresh one, taking it up again with a spoon, which is pressed down into the pile of the carpet. Lay cloth around the spot so it will not spread. Then ap- ply weak solution of oxalic acid, spong- ing 1t up quickly.
 If the color Is altered apply ammonia water
 INK ON MAHOGANY.
 If you nave splashed ink on a mahog- any desk try this: Dilute half teaspoon of oil of vitriol with a tablespoon or more of water and apply with feather or soft brush.
 Then wipe the spot with a damp cloth after the stain has been taken out.
 TO CLEAN WALL PAPER.
 If new wall paper cannot be put on this autumn and the old paper has been spat- tered with grease in the dining room, mix powdered pipe clay with water until it looks like cream. Put this on the spots and let 1t remain until the next day.
 Take a stiff brush to get 1t off, and if this is not successful try knife.
 Thick crusts of very stale bread rubbed downward will remove many other kinds of stain and soil
 WASHING MOLDY WALLS.
 If the pantry or the kitchen has moldy spots on the plaster it will be well to wash them thoroughly with a weak solu- tion of chloride of lime
