Man Is As Old
As His Stomach"


The Perslans were a very sagacious
people. noted among other things. for
their deep thinking on life and the
things which make up life.
The above epigram shows the wis
dom OF their thought.
When q mans stomach Is able to
furnish new material to the system as
fast or faster than the natural decay
of man requires, then such man
lives his fullest and his best.
When through wrong living or dis
ease mans stomach begins 10 tax
the other organs and takes from the
blood strength which IL cannot give
back In nourishment taken from food.
then begins the death OF man and he
decays fast. The stomach Is strong.
splendidly strong and can stand an
untold amount Of abuse and neglect.
but when 1t dies, man dies.
The stomach gives tons upon tons OF
good rich blood every year TO the sys-
tenn and draws only $50 lbs. OF nour-
ishment for its own use. II. however,
the food which 1t receives cannot be
turned into blood which is capable OF
use by the body. then the stomach re-
ceives no help from the other organs.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the most perfect digestive qualities
known to science and at the same
time the most powerful. They will
mix with the poisonous juices Of q
sick stomach and digest food In spite
of this handicap.
They will stop gas making and bad
breath. They tone up the nerves or
the whole digestive canal. including
those OF the stomach.
A single ingredient contains
strength enough to digest 5000 times
its weight In mixed food.
They have stood the test Of time
and today are more sought after than
all their imitators combined.
They are used and endorsed by 40
600 physicians. Every druggist sells
them. price soc. II costs nothing to
their value. Send us

WHITNEY.

Charles z. Blaney presAnts new
play Of the southland In the Whitney
This week under the caption, "Tennes-
see Tess" with the mischief-loving
souDrette, Lottie Williams, playing
the title role. The action takes place
in and about the mountains OF Ten
nessee and, as might be expected,
moonshiners figure conspicuously in
the story.
Tess is a mountain waif who has
earned the sobriQuet Queen OF the
Moonshiners." Her popularity Is at
tested by the presence of numer-
Gus suitors. chief among whom are
Nat Calibourne, sturdy mountaineer,
and Rick Ransom, mo account Id

ICES him. or course. Nat wins out In
the end, but 1t Is only after series
of thrilling incidents In which pistols
are freely used, Tess especially show
ing herself an adept In the noisy pas
time. The play reaches q thrilling
climax in the third act with an at
tempt to wreck the train, on which
Tess mother and Nat Calibourne are
passengers, by blowing up the bridge
crossing at Smoky Mountain. But
Tess flags the train with piece OF
her wearing apparel and the engine
comes to a stop at the brink Of the
abyss.
Miss Williams played her part %

audiences, Sunday, and was given
good support. A number OF clever
specialties serve to balance the heav-
Ter portions OF the melodrama.

The Heart Of Seneca.

When we come once to value our
flesh above our honesty We are lost.
There is SO wonderful a grace and
authority in virtue that even the worst
OF men approve II and set up for the
reputation of being accounted virtu-
Gus themselves.
Twill govern my life and my thoughts
as II the whole world were TO see the
one and to read the other; for what
does 1t signify to make anything a Sc
cret to my neighbor when to God (who
is the searcher of our hearts) all our
privacies are open.
Virtue cannot lie hid, for the time
will come that shall raise II again.
even after II Is buried, and deliver It
from the malignity Of the age that op-
pressed II.
II was a long time that Democritus
was taken for mailman. and before
Socrates had any esteem in the world
How long was 1t before Cato could be
understood? Nay, he was affronted,
condemned. and rejected; and people
never knew the value OF him until
they had lost him.
When a man comes once TO stand in
need OF fortune. his life is anxious. sus-
picious, timorous, dependent upon ev-
cry moment, and in fear OF all acct
dents. How can that man that shrinks
at every motion of pleasure and pain
resign himself to- God and bear his lot.
whatever-it be, without murmuring
and cheerfully submit to providence?
