A POSITIVE CURE
FOR INDIGESTION
Food improperly Disested ROts in the
Stomach and Bowels.


Plain language. but true in 30 per
cent. Of cases of stomach trouble.
DO YOU have little desire for food,
and eat just little from force Of habit;
feel overfull, uneasy and distressed i'm
mediately after eating; have difhculty
IN breathing; belching of gas, With
taste of sour food IN MOUTH
If YOU have any Of the above symp-
toms you have indigestion-your food
ferments in the stomach and bowels.
II does more: II decays, and the nu-
tritious matter which should so TO
make new blood decays with II. And this
leads TO an impoverished condition Of
the blood. TO nervousness, billiousness,
constipation. sick headache. bad
breath which disgusts your friends,
and other disagreeable and unpleasant
conditions.
And all this trouble is caused by the
food that doesn't digest. but ferments
in the stomach.
And fermentation is caused by the
stomach not being strong enough TO
thoroughly mix the food with the d.
gestive juices.
Tired-out stomach you might call It,
but at any rate it should be quickly
rectifed il you would enjoy life. MO
MA is recognized the world over as the
/ leading stomach tonic, and IL is re-
sponsible for tens of thousands OF cures
In fact, it is such a positive cure for
Indigestion and all stomach troubles
that it is guaranteed TO cure or money

ACQUIRE POSE IN WALKING.
Grace Is Impossible Unless Ones
 Weight Is Well Adjusted.

From the Delineator.
 The first essential of graceful walk ing is boise. The weight of the body must be adjusted over the balls of the feet. In correct boise, the chest always leads, the abdomen recedes. the back and head assume their right positions. It goes without saying that there can be no grace in a nasty walk. Haste causes irregular and uncertain movements Of all portions of the body, detracts from g. woman's dignity and makes rhythm inn possible.
 Activity and right use of the feet are the second essential of a graceful walk. The feet have double duty to perform in bearing the weight and propelling the body. When the standing position IS right, one leg is swung forward rom the hip, the knee acting in harmony, and the ball of tho foot touching first The weight is so quickly transferred that the heel makes no noise. Women who walk heavily. leave the weight on the heel ana areNnever graceful The general say ing that one should walk on the balls or the feet" has led some people to try not touching the heel at all. The result IS r,,ncinr gait wholly without dignity or grace. ,. straight. The weight of the body being on one foot while the other Is swinging Tor ward, the strongest position or the 1oot should be taken, which Is practlcaiiy straight. As children are always taught to turn their toes out" this will sur prise many.
 The carriage of the shoulders Is an irn- portant element in graceful walking. Nervousness, self-conscousness and haste show in stiffness of the shoulders, also in the aggressive elbows and ciasped hands. If the chest is well up and for ward. the shoulders will take their nat

POTENT "TIMBERDooDLE."
Murdock Unkind in Not Giving Compo-
 stons of Ancient Tipple.
from the New York World.

trom the New York World.
 By way of the custom house it is es- timated that intoxicating fluids to a number exceeding TOGO are now known to the United States It Is appalling to consider in the light of this reckoning the endlessness of combination possible to the dispensers of mixed drinks. Shall we marvel that in the rush of exhilarants we have been In danger of permanently forgetting the once potent timberdoodle?
 The Hon. Victor Murdock, representa- tive from Kansas, recalls at Washing ton the name, but not the composition of this ancient tipple. Timberdoodle, 1t appears was served at the tavern bars when Jackson was in the White House. pretty Peggy O'Neal was in the public eye, and there were giants in Congress The drink was a family relative to the famous stone fence" and 1t would, MT Murdoek ayers, "fll the head of wood en Indian with fairy fancies'
 Just enough about timberdoodle MT. Murdock vouchsafes 10 make sure of a great popular desire to know more. Was it a drink purely of the capital, or was it a national privilege? And what, if any, was it's relationship to that inspirer of senatorial cour .esy known as "switchel," toward the composition of which, according to the Senate contin- gent-expenses account of 1SO9-10, went 100 gallons of mysterious syrup" at s3 per gallon?
 More vital than all else, however, is the question of the political potency of tinberdoodle On this wonderful drink thrived the original Jaclxsonian democra- ey. Does Mr Murdock, republican in a solid delegation, withhold the recipe for fear lest. through draughts of a re- vivified timberdoodle, there shall spring up a strengthened, unified and militant opposition?

HOPE FOR ENGLAND.
Defeat at Polo Does Not Prove Tight
 Little Isle Decadent.
From the New York Post.

From the New York Post
 Germany is not devoured by the pas- sion for athletics. She doesn't swarm with hanneled fools and muddled oafs. Her schoolboys find time to know some- thing. She is the country of experts, England the nation of amateurs. We thought 1t was understood that England's decline and fall. If she has fallen and declined, Is due in great part to her de- votion to sport and athletics. Not in the tennis court or cricket field Is com mercial, military and naval supremacy to be won. The more England Is trounced in athletic competitions the more likely she is to win in the sterner rivalries of world politics and world commerce Well. here is an American polo victory, and we find the London editors convinced thereby and by other triumphs of foreigners and colonials that England is "decadent' and her long glory as a sportsman waning. Whereat these editors wall as if the star of the empire had set and freedom and bitter beer had succurhbed at last to Prussian martinetry and German lager.
 We bid these desponding brethren lift their heads and rejoice If England can no longer play well she can begin to work. Our only fear is that the indomi- table Kipling will compose hymn on that polo cup.

HOW TO WIN ONES SONS.
The Boys Like to Discover That Father
 Understands Sports.

I remember two brothers who played on our college baseball team, says Charles Francis Read in The Delineator for Au- gust. The father was retired Presby- terian minister with a grave face and looked very much as if he might be re- beating to himself the longer Catechism, but every game found him right out in front of the widest crowd of rooters, and he stayed there, standing up the greater part of the time. with his eyes glued to every play till the last man was out. I can't remember that his eX- pression changed perceptfbly when Bob struck out, or Ed hit 1t out for two bases, but he was right there all the time, and the boys knew that his eye was on them every minute, and the knowledge lifted them aiong to the end of the game. Afterward they heard the other fellows call him a good old sport, and that again lifted them along still more. There Is nothing that ticlsles the boy more than to feel that the old man has sporting blood in him. If we are not already possessed of it we would do well to acquire it, or at least to pretend to it.
 And herein lies a secret. also; let me whisper it softly-it is good for us; 1t keeps us young, keeps our hair and teeth from falling out and makes us better looking. It gives us an interest in life aside from money-grubbing, makes us more critical of the set of coat and the color of a tie.
 This in turn gives us a certain added charm in the eyes of Elizabeth and Mary --and they are a trihe critical, you know, when they have turned 15.
 I have always thought that into this relationship of a. man with his daughter there must enter an element of courtship "a bit of the fine. etherealized sentiment of lovers. We must take care to foster Elizabeth's girlish admiration for what there is of the gallant about us. I love that beautiful old word "gallantry'-it savers so of the days of chivalry, when men were given an opportunity to prove themselves brave and tender and true.

Hints to Good Dressers.
From Judge.

From Judge.
 The problem of dressing well is be- coming more and more intricate every year. With the increase in the number of hooks and eyes, buttons and clasps, 1t almost seems as if there must come a decrease in the number of times dresses may be changed. By getting up earlier in the morning, 1t may be possible to squeeze in an extra dress or two; or perhaps we could set the clock forward in the morn ing and back in the evening"
 Of course the latter question would have to be referred to the auto-psycho- logical suggesters. If they, or Dr. Woods Hutchinson, should decide that our tradi- tional idea of the necessity of sleep Is nonsense, then 1t would be possible to practically double the number of dresses per day, with corresponding revival In ladies maids, manicurists, modistes and millinerists.
 We are in receipt of several communi- cations from correspondents who wish to know what a woman can dress on. It IS a hard question. The only reply we would venture is that it Is absolutely impossible to dress on one's income Ac- cordingly, 1t would seem that the question is rather one of credit.

How Billiards Originated

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 It is a fact not generally known that the game of billiards was invented by a pawnbroker, William Kew by name. who fiourished in London some time in the sixteenth century.
 This inventive avuncular relative of the needy used to employ his leisure hours in wet weather when trade was dull by talk ing down the three balls which were the insignia of his profession and pushing them about the counter of his shop with a yard stick after the manner of the game as at present played, and using boxes fastened to the sides of his counter for pockets.
 Out of this was developed table with a fence of slight elevation about it to keep the balls from rolling on the floor and to enable the player to make what have since become known as cushion shots.

Old Well Sinks.

When Canyon City was one of
those border towns described in
various and sundry novels, full
of life and bad booze, there was
a well dug at the intersection of
the streets at the southeast cor
ner of the square. AS the town
advanced it became necessary to
close and fill up the well for
street purposes which was done.
This week the place where the
old well was sunk down a
couple of feet and left quite a
hole in the center of the street.
Fortunately the place was dis
covered before any persons or
horses ran into it and the hole
filed up. 1t has been many
years since the well was filled
and just why it sunk at this time
is hard to figure out.
