stomach and at times feel like a
lump of lead in the stomach, and after
eating gases would form and cause
bloating and belching, which was very
annoying and caused much distress
and pain. He tried every treatment
that he could hear of, but got no re-
lief. He heard of Troy, who is at the
Owl Drug Store, and decided to try
the Quaker Remedy. He called on
Troy and purchased a treatment of
Quaker Extract and, in three weeks,
reports to Troy that he is feeling bet

practically new man. He is eating
vegetables that he hasn't eaten for
years. Now anyone wishing to in

The Importance of the work of the
American Historical Association has
been recognized by the national gov
eminent, which incorporated it by spe-
cial act of congress and made provis-
ion for the publication of it's docu-
ments as an auxiliary to the work of
the Smithsonian Institute. Endow-
ments and life memberships have in.
creased it's revenues so that the asso-
citation now has assets approaching
$4,000 and an annual income approx.
mating $4,000, besides an annual con.
gressional appropriation of $1,000
placed to its credit at the government
printing office. This last is, of course,
essential TO the proper arrangement
and circulation of the material ac-
cumulated.

An important branch of the work
being performed by the public ar
chives commission is the examination
of the condition and character of the
public documents of the nation in the
different states, with view to obtain
ing such information concerning them
as will make their existence more
generally known and available for
study. The commission endeavors to
secure state legislation whenever nee
essary to provide for the preservation
of these documents. The state of
Maryland through it's legislature has
recently made liberal appropriations
for this purpose as has also Virginia
and several other states.

and music by Joseph Cecil Breil, is
a play that is difficult to describe
you might call it the play that is
different and you'd be about right.
1t is a play out of the ordinary, and
proves there is something new un-
der the sun. AS one reviewer says,
at is human play, a play full of
love, song, poetry and affections.

never take your eyes off the stage
