COMET MAY
HAVE INDIGESTION
Was Dim Yesterday Morning and
Could Not be Seen with the
Naked Eye.

Todays Chicago Record-Herald
says: Halley's comet passed through
a phase of semi-obscurity yesterday
morning, according to astronomical
observers at Williams Bay. Its lustre
appeared TO be considerably abated,
owing TO the fact that the internal ac-
ton was less pronounced.
Director Edward b. Frost of the
Yerkes observatory said it was seme-
what below the LUMINOSITY of a sew
enth magnitude star, which cannot be
discerned with unaided vision.
Through the telescope the nucleus
showed dim and the tail, as it pointed
away from the sun, had an extent OF
but three-quarters of degree.
Comets are known to be erratic in
the matter of luminosity, and it is diff
ficult to predict when they will make
fine spectacle in the heavens until
they are pretty near the earth. The
comet came up through a dense bank
of mist and the observers were COM
PEELED to wait impatiently till it topped
the clouds.
Although it made so faint light
Professor Edward e. Barnard, from
his watch tower in the Yerkes obser-
vatory, obtained an excellent photo
graph. The plate revealed the fact
that hydrocarbon predominant among
the gases which form so great a part
/ of the tail 1t drew clear lines on the
plate, while the deadly ..yanogen gas
did not appear. Hydrocarbon, while
not agreeable to breathe.is not partic-
ularly noxious and when compared
cyanogen is decidedly mild
Professor Frost explained that with
"a longer exposure the plate mig
have recorded the presence of cyano-
! gen gas, but that at least it was rela-
lively inactive yesterday. This fact
was regarded as significant and tend
ing to allay the fear of those who
have been waxing eloquent over the
dread fate which awaits the earth
when it passed through the comet 5
tail.
In Chicago the comet was observed
by Professor Justin Nuelle Of De Paul
university. 1t remained visible fol
more than an hour 1t will rise this
morning about as far to the left as
TIE center of the eastern heavens as
Venus to the right. 1t will rise at 3:1I
a. m.

To Furnish the System the Necessary
Fluids to Drive Dyspepsia
From the Stomach.

You should give to your stomach
the chemicals it needs to restore tone,
vigor and health to the gastric fluids.
Food contains all these ingredients
so necessary, and when the stomach
is in normal condition it separates
manufactures its own digestive agents
but when it is sick and sore, filled
with acids and alkalies that irritate
everything they come in contact with,
it does not get at the food as it should
and cannot make it's own juices cor
rectly.
Science has proven just what is
most necessary to the stomach to
produce the correct gastric fluids and
to make of digestion naturally
pleasant duty.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are so
made as to give the stomach the
highest chemical properties to aid
digestion. These tablets are made
up from pure fruit and vegetable es-
sences, and this is the formula: Hy-
drastic Golden Seal, Lactose, Nux
Aseptic Pepsin (the highest digestive
known. and Jamaica Ginger. Its
preparation peculiarly preserves the
full strength of these ingredients, sc
that they go into the stomach strong

Keeping the Tea.Ke,tle Free From Scale

NeePfr1ts tte 1cu'NcttIe 1fec FrUfn ocafU
Every housewife who lives where
water is hard, knows how the lime and
other salts form coating on the inside
of the kettle. This may be largely pre-
vented, and the outside of the tea-kettle
keptfree from SCOT and grease, by washing
thoroughly inside and outside every day
or so, with hot water and Gold Dust.
The hard lime and other salts are dis
solved by the Gold Dust and the in
side of the kettle will be kept smooth
much longer, if thus cared for. BE

a scientific writer has given his
pplnlon why drunken men see double.
IN the first place. II Is essential that
the elevated" panty must have two
good eyes. no amount Of liquor
would make a one eyed man see two
half dollars whore only one exists.
When we wish 10 see distinctly
we adjust the eyes BY convcrging
them more or less so that the image
falls upon the sensitive point OF the
retina n the object Is too far of to
enable us "a get distinct image IN
either eye tie eyes are so construct
ed thai they can bring the object
nearer. or we can by contracting the
eye muscles bring the retina nearer
the lens. thus getting clear sight Of
the object.
Both eyes may be moved either
upward or downward or TO the right
or To the left, but II is impossible to
direct one OF them upward and the
other downward If we converge the
eyes so that the two images fall on
the sensitive point OF the correspond
ing retinas we get in the brain a
sharp image. II, however. from any
cause we are not able to move the
eyeballs so as to have this image fall
squarely on the retlna we see double.
This seeing double can be caused
by temporary or permanent paral-
ysis OF the muscles OF the eyeballs.
For permanent paralysis there may
be any one OF several causes. Elk
cessive use OF alcohol or tobacco will
produce temporary paralysis. Under
the influence Of strong drink the con-
trolling muscles OF the eye. like 9th
ers OF the body, are not under COM
mand; hence some drunken men
stammer in their speech, others stag
ger in their walk and others see dou-
