Thousands of SiOmaChS in
America are Dying for Want
OF Exercise

Thousands? yes. hundreds of thous-
ands Of people throughout America are
taking the slow death TO the stomach
treatment daily.
They arc numbering their own stom-
ach. the best friend they have, and i'm
their sublime ignorance they think
they are clevcrly putting aside tho laws
of nature.
This is no sensational statement; it
is a startling fact, the truth OF which
any honorable physician will not deny.
These thousands Of people arc swal-
lowing daily huge quantities Of pepsin
and other strong digosters. made cs-
pecially 20 digest tho food I'm the
stomach without any aid at all from
tho digestive membrane Of tho stom-
ach.
In other words. they arc taking away
from the stomach tho work that nature
intended it should do. ana arc also
refusing It the only chance for eNcr-
else it has.
No one denies that pepsin and other
strong digesters give temporary relief
to distressed stomachs.
No one denies that whiskey tempOr-
ally relieves brain fag. Neither does
anyone deny that morphine VIII tenn
porally cause pain TO vanish.

HOLIDAY TRADE
In WILMINGTON
Useful Rather Than Senti-
mental Gifts in Demand

I'm wilmington. as in many other cit-
les. the tendency this year IS 10 buy use
ful articles for Christi IS presents. This
however. doas not Indicate that gifts
OF sentiment arc eliminated; it means
rather that tho average person is be-
coming moro practical In New York the
buying is tho same. and the sale OF lux
urlos hardly compares with that OF last
yeai.
Business IS growing brislSor every day
in Wilmington, and merchants say the
holiday trade will eclipse an previous
seasons here. All merchants look FOR
extraordinary business until the close
Of tho year.
Wilmington stores have never been bet
ter stocked than they are this season,
nor have prices been moro reasonable
not alone TO staple articles does this
APPLY. but to the thousands Of holiday
luxurios. an Of which are here in abund-
ance
4 Market utreet merchant said to-
day:
"I-ndoubtodiy tho demand Is for halliday
goods OF a useful kind. This Is more
apparent this year than ever. Patrons arc
growing more practical aud conserva-
tive. OF course, there is some demand
for tho ornamental and luxurious, but
not as much as heretofore. Tho country
has just recovered from tho financial
panic and the valuo OF a dollar has been
learned. This probably accounts for the
less attention given this year to arti-
clcs for ornamentation and sentiment.
Business is gradually getting better and
the holiday rush is beginning well'
