A DUTCH KERMEss.

While in Holland two years ago
We visited a county fair, or kermess.
1t was in a little village, and / do

much funnier-or dirtier, for that
matter.
They had quite a number OF filthy
tents erected along the street, but
the main attraction was the merry-go-
round, on which one could ride a
great number of times for one-third
Of a cent. The organ played only
two tunes, and we soon grew heavily
tired OF them, but the Dutch peas
ants seemed to like them better the
oftener they were repeated.
In some of the booths one could
buy the most brilliant pink, yellow
or green candy sticks for what would
be less than nothing here in Amer
lea; in others, the most awful cakes,
while in still others one could even
have his fortune told or take
chance on anything one could pos
sibly think Of costing from a tenth
OF cent TO a dollar in American
money They were all positively
filthy, both the things TO be sold and
the persons who sold them, but do
not think have ever seen such alb
solute content as / did on the faces
OF those dirty, ragged, little Dutch
peasant girls and boys as they went
along, eyes and mouths wide open,
staring at the wonderful sights-to
them-while tightly grasping a bright
pink candy stick in one hand and a
greasy doughnut in the other. Every

Work on the dam is going forward

Enjoy Your Meals
BY Simply Eating a Little

A Tablet Digests Meal. Trial Pack.
aoe Free.

When digestion is perfect the flu
ids necessary to this process come
naturally to the aid of the stomach.
They are of right proportion and do
their work speedily and well. When
indigestion and dyspepsia are preva-
lent, these same juices come slowly
if at all, are weak ind insufficient
or are filled with strong acids and
alkalies.
When such condition exists each
meal is a hardship upon the diges-
tive organs. The meal should
strengthen the juices, but on the con-
trary it weakens them, so that man
by the very act of eating causes con-
ditions to arise which of themselves
bring him pain and loathing for the
next neal
BY eating one of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets you mix the tablet with
your saliva and it goes into your
-tomach a strong, vigorous fluid, many
times more powerful than the nat
ural digestive juices. These tablets
are made up from natural vegetable
and fruit essences and are composed
from Hydrastis, Golden Seal Lactose,
Nux, Aseptic Pepsin and Jamaica Gin
ger There is the formula and one
grain of it will digest 5000 grains of
food in any stomach. Beside digest
ing the food it will give the blood
the power to enrich the digestive
fluids so after a time nature will take
care of itself. Though you have no
stomach trouble one OF these tab
lets after each meal is a powerful
assistance to nature and is an excel
lent habit to make.
Go to any druggist and ask his
opinion of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets. We will abide his answer if he
be an honest man. They sell for SOC
