Give Your Stomach
A Vacation
By Using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
Which DigeSts Food Without
Any Aid
A Trlnl rncl,nge sent Free

The stomach should have a rest
when it is tired out and irritated from
dyspepsia and Indigestion. one should
not call upon the stomach in this con-
dition to do its full and complete duty.
What the stomach needs is natural
assistance, and when this is given it
the stomach responds quickly to the
needed rest and comes back to its
duties refreshed and invigCrated.
When you feel as though your stom-
ach were piece of lead, when gases
or foul odors issue from your throat,
when your tongue is coated and your
appetite gone, it is high time to send
your stomach on q vacation.
The stomach is constantly coming in
contact with foreign substances which
it must reduce in form to give strength
and health to the other organs of the
body. 1t is the commissary depart
ment OF the human system, and must
furnish from such supplies as come to
it all that such a system demands.
If the stomach becomes deranged
and cannot furnish all that is neces-
sary. it weakens the entire machinery
of man and is itself placed out of COM
mission. 1t cannot cure itself, because
the curative powers of Nature receive
their force from the stomach, so that
if the stomach issues imperfect nour-
ishment it cannot receive perfect cur
atiVe means for its own benefit.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets impart
all the power, vigor and strength
necessary to the stomach. They do
the stomach's work, and without call
ing on this organ for assistance.
If you would put your meal in
glass jar and with it place the correct
amount of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
you could sit down and watch these
little tablets. digest the meal as per-
fectly as the most healthy stomach.
This demonstration has been made in
almost every state in the Union by
these tablets, one grain of a single in
gredient being capable of digcsting
5000 grains of food.
If you have the slightest doubt about
your stomach. go to the nearest drug
store and buy box of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, price SOC, or send us
your name and address and we will
Immediately send you by mail trial

PITTSBURG, Pa, Feb. 1.-Reuben
Schwartz, IA years old, who used to be
an Office boy in a millinery establish
ment of Pittsburg, was sent to the re-
form school by Judge Robert S. Frazer.
Schwartz was accused of having stolen
at least $1,000 worth of fine Irish lace
and ostrich plumes worth $50 a piece
to decorate the Schwartz family goat
which had won some local sled races.
The boys father on the stand made
reference to the family goat as ''her."
ut isn't her at all. He's a Billy
goat" said Reuben.
"Why she's a Mamie goat and you
call her a Mamie yourself" retorted
the father in panied surprise at his son.
"I don't care. She's a Billy goat" /"
said the former office boy, at which
Judge Frazer told young Schwartz that
the idea of the court was that the
truth was not in him at all.

"They are not there" she said, as
though she had expected to see the
bodies of her husband and two sons
brought back.
The woman was led home by a nurse.
Nurses are always on hand to aid the
suffering, and a dozen women with
striped gowns led home as many shawl
clad women and girls on the verge of
hysteria.
No one in charge will hazard a guess
as to when the corpses can be removed,
as there is much work to be done first.
But when they do bring up bodies" "
said Cherry merchant, they will need
the militia to prevent a riot. Those
women will be SO frenZied that they
might destroy the town"
New Fan Working

began to suck out the gases. In ten
minutes the main shaft was clear and
Mine Inspectors Thomas Hudson and
John Dunlap descended without spe-
cial apparatus.
After returning from the 350-foot
level they reported that the gases were
well cleared.
Chief Mine Boss Archie Frew called

stepped forward.
OF the volunteers, five were selected,
while the others were ordered to take
a turn an hour later.
Boss F'rew superintendent Steel and
Inspectors Dunlap and Hudson went

NURSE SUPPLANTS SOCIETY
WOMAN IN AFFECTION
OF YOUNG BRO0KL YNITE
Ralph j. Voorhees, Is Sued for $4,000
by Daughter of Former Build
ing Superinten=
dent

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Ralph j. Yoor-
hies was served with papers making
him the defendant in $4,000 breach
of pronise suit instituted by Miss Faith
e. Moore, daughter of David f. Moore,
former superintendent of buildings III
Brooklyn. The defendant is the nephew
of Edmund w. Voorhies, prominent
candidate for appointment as postmas-
ter of Brooklyn.
In her complaint Miss Moore states
that she and young Voorhies became
engaged three years ago. She was tnen
1S and he was 20. 1t was agreed to wait
three years before the marriage should
take place. About year ago Voorhies
married Adele L. Goufton, trained
nurse They are now living at East
Eighteenth street and Avenue y,
Sheepshead Bay. Miss Moore resides
with her parents at 2S5 VERIFIED street.
While neither of the principals
would discuss the case, friends of Miss
Moore stated that she first met young
Voorhies at a musicale in 1905 and a
year later their engagement was an
nounced The match met with the
hearty sanction OF the Moore family
and of VOORHEES, father, Henry Y. d.,
according to statements made. one ac-
quaintance even went so far as to as
sert that Mrs. Voorhies assisted her
son to select the diamond engagement
ring which he is alleged to have given
Miss Moore.
After they had been engaged nearly
two years Voorhies was stricken with
typhoid fever. He was removed to a
hospital and there Miss GUufton nursed
him through a long illness. While in
the hospital the young man was regu--
larly visited by Miss Moore. she called
three times a week and to all appear
anoe the patient had lost none of his
affection for her. The first Miss Moore
knew of his attachment to Miss Gouf-
ton was when their marriage was an
nounced last April.
Henry A. Powell, the PLAINTIFFS
lawyer, admitted that the action had
been started. but refused to discuss II
further. He said Miss Moore would
make a statement at the proper time.
