slipping from tne hands of Roy Wolf

evening, when the Seal Skins, the

The match was characteristic Of
poor bowling on the part of the team

The Stomach
Of the Child.
Is the Organ all Parents Should
Protect and Keep Normal.

The stomach of a child is the organ
above all others upon which the flu
ture of child depends. Bodily de-
velopment is fast in children, and the
nourishment necessary to meet such
development is the one essential de-
manded from parent. Most mothers
and fathers. jealousy guard child
from the formation of bad habits, yet
in this age our children early become
the victims Of wrong food, over eating
and irregular meals
1t is most appalling to know the eff
feet of stomach troubles among our
children.
Most children who are nervous, irri-
table and cross, who dream, sleep rest
lessly, who tire easily and have no de-
sire for child exercise, generally have
stomach trouble, Indigestion and dys-
pepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are in
tended to thoroughly digest food and
to place the system in shape to obtain
all the nourishment it needs from such
food
These tablets mix with the juices OF
the system. enriching them and giving
to the body the ingredients necessary
to build up the rapidly forming brain
and body of the young.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets should
be given to children after each meal
and at bed time They are made from
pure vegetable and fruit essences and
contain no harmful chemicals what
ever The use Of these tablets will
give greater vim to child in its
school work or at its play. They will
produce appetite and soothe nerves,
destroy abnormal cravings and will
allay the bad effects OF sweets and
such improper foods as most children
enjoy and will eat no matter what Is
done to prevent it.
1t is due the child that his stomach
protected by the parent, and If Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets are given
after meals, the habits of the chile
/ will not tear down the stomach ane
! destroy the digestive juices so rapid
/ ly. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets ar
given to each and every degree of life

MY little daughter who was

MRS. C. G. BENNETT,
Alma, Mich.
Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure TO cure you. With
nervous diseases Of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the REM
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.

DELAWARE SHAD
BETTER THAN EVER

Until a few days ago the shad fishing
industry on Delaware River has been
one OF the most successful experienced
by local fishermen in several years. The
swollen condition of the waters for the
past week has seriously hampered all
attempts at catching shad and in many
cases has compelled a complete cessa-
ton Of the work. on different days
during the week there was an average
of ten. shod for every FIVE or six hauls
and the men have generally become dis
couarged-for the present at least.
Earlier in the season catches of from
100 TO zoo shad have been made at one
haul while in lower portions OF the
Delaware the returns OF a haul aver
aged sometimes i'm tho thousands. Again
the quality OF the fish captured in the
Delaware has been much of an inn
provement over past years and of a
larger size.
The season had about reached its
height when the rising waters Of the
swollen river had almost stopped the
fishing-in some sections at least. BY
the time the water has resumed its
normal height the spawning season win
be at hand and, while the fish will be
plentiful. the quality will deteriorate
several points. The time fixed for the
close Of the season is June 10.
