Although americans in London have
played a prominent part In the festivi-
ties. the entertainment plans really
had It's inception In the English naval
and military government circles.
The American officers and men vera
entertained on Thursday at the Guild
hall. and on December 10 the crown

The battleships OF the third division,
which are stationed twenty miles from

The fund applies to, heroes OF the civil

But all the heroes are not dead. There

Especial Cable to The Dispatch
Paris, December 3.--An epidemic of
divorce has broken out in our Ameri-
can colony, In fact Paris Is rapidly
becoming formidable rival to Reno.
The reason why SO many American
women prefer Paris for their divorce
adventures is that there is the chance
of less publicity here. The French
law prohibits the publication of re-
ports of divorce cases, and the courts
do their best to enforce this law
against publicity Thus Paris divorces

A Reasonable Plea
For the Stomach
II Your Stomach Is Lacking in Digestive
Power. Why MOI Help the Stomach
Do Its Work, Especially When
II Costs nothing TO Try?

Not with drugs. but with a reinforcement OF
digestive agents. such as are naturally at work In
the stomach' Scientific ANALYSIS shows that
digestion requires peps.n, nitroqenous ferments. and
tbe secretion OF bydrochloric acid. When your
food fails TO digest It is proof positive that some
OF these agents are lacking in your digestive ap.
parstts.
stuart'S Dy dyspepsia Tablets contain nothing bl,
these natural elements necessary TO digestion, and
when placed at work in the weak stomach and
small i~ntestincs supply what these organs need.
They stimulate the gastric glands and gradually
brns the digestive organs back TO their normal
condition.

to critical chemical tests az home and abroad aud

FORESTS IN NEED OF

ing, the Forester Declares.

Washington. d. c., Sept. S.-Offi-
Gals Of the United States department
of agriculture are Of the opinion that
1910 will hold the record among many
years for the severity of the losses
from forest fires. The summer fires
followed a spring season believed to
have been the worst. certainly in the
lake states. known for a long time.
Nor is it wise to assume that the dan
ger is over when the fierce conhagra-
tions which have called forth in the
mountain states the efforts Of three
federal departments have been con-
quered.
The forests will not be safe until
the fall rains and SHOWS have once
more made a wet blanket of the dry
forest floor. That the total losses Of
the year will run up to many millions
Of dollars is considered certain.
The importance of systematic pro-
vision for the early discovery of fires
and for getting a properly equipped
force of fire fighters quickly to the
scene of an outbreak is insisted upon

the fundamental principles in fire pro-

in their incipiency-" After pointing
out the value of lockOuts. telephone or
signal communication and various
methods of patrol. the forester says
1t is important to secure an adequate
force of men and to get them TO the
fire quickly. In a well organized sys-
tenn of patrol the guard who discovers
a fire communicates quickly to other
guards and TO headquarters by tele-
phone signal. or other means. and in

on the skill and experience of the men

the announcement issued at New Orleans
that Texas again leads all other states
in cotton production, the statement was
given out here by cotton dealers that
the larger part. of north Texas cotton is
being shipped to Japan this year. In
the past the bulk of the cotton went to
New England and Liverpool, but the
Orient's demands are rapidly increasing
wear, and may take more than the En-
glish markets next year. North Texas Is
also sending large quantities to China

wears ago none was sent there. Cotton
is shipped to the Orient routed by the
way of Seattle and San Francisco. Deal
