Entrance was made by forcing up the bath room window and exit was prob ably made by the back door, ss this was found unlocked in the morning. There is reason to believe tI at the home of O. F.

DYSPEPSIA-PROOF
How Any Meal Can He Thoroughly En-

Costs You Nothing 10 Try stunrt's Dys-
 pepsia Tablets

pepsia Tablets
 Men, as a rule. are first discovered by their enemies Their antagonists turn on the searchlght, and the proof of merit will lie in being able to stand the flash.
 It was only In this way that MT. White ever knew that dyspepsia was one of MT. Blacks worst enemies. Sit ting face to face at a two-by-four table, he handed his afflicted friend the bill of fare:
 Oyster Cocktail Stuffed Olives.
 Boston Clam Chowder.
 Strained Gumho.
 Sirloin Steak with Mushrooms.
 Roast Beef Hash.
 Boiled OK Tongue with Sauerkraut.
 Lobster a la Newburg.
 Baked Pork and Beans.
 Combination Crab Salad.
 Hot Mince Pie.
 Pineapple Fritters.
 Mir White ordered little of each MT. Dyspepsia Black ordered crackers and a glass of milk. T had such a big breakfast this morning. he said that I'll just take bite to keep you company" But MT. White could not be deceived; T am afraid you can't stand the geam, Mir. Black. Why don't you say you have dyspepsia and be done with it? You'll always have that hungry look anyhow as long as you have dyspepsia. Now, listen. My stom- ach was in just as bad condition as yours at one time. But now I can eat anything, at any time. For instance, this clam chowder or sirloin steak or even the lobster would be just as well come to my stomach as your crackers and milk. You don't realize how this dyspepsia business is robbing you of your spirit, of your energy, and ability to think quickly. I can't help notice It. You haven't the cheer and sociability you had three months ago Now I'll tell you what to do," and thereat the cheerful MT. White took a vial from his pocket and extracted wee tablet. s'There there is a tablet that contains an ingredient, one grain of which di- rests 5000 grains of food. For even the worst dyspeptic it's the only thing that really gives relief The reason Is it relieves the stomach of nearly all the wor' >< has to do, digests every thing /the stomach and stimulates the | ,1stric juice. I can't get along without them. They are Stuarts Dys- pepsia Tablets. You can get them any where on earth for soc a package" Yes, 1t is true. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets absolutely stop heartburn, nau- sea. indigestion, dyspepsia of the worst type. sour stomach, bloaty feeling and ali eructations and irritation. and freshen and invigorate the stomach They cheer you up and make you get all the good there is in your food. You will forget you ever had stomach to worry you.
