1Exercise and Rest"

What is the relation between exer- else and rest? Work is that at which we must continue, whether interesting or not, whether we are tired or not It used to be thought that the prime requisite of rest was the use of facul- ties other than those involved in the labor of the day But there is such q thing as fatigue which goes deeper than daily work. We can work so hard as to become exhausted--too ex- hausted for any kind of work. Per haps this is will fatigue. It is coming to be regarded as fundamentally true that rest from such fatigue demands continuity; that, for example, four pe- riods of fifteen minutes each of rest is not the equivalent of one hours rest; that a man who goes on vacation and takes. half an hour of his business work every day is doing the same thing as the man who had a horse with a sore back. He kept the saddle on only a few minutes each day, but the sore did not have a chance to heal-i Rest periods must be sufficiently con- secutive to overcome consecutive fa- tigue.-Luther H. Gulick in North American Review.

As Quickly As Water DissoIves Sugar
About The Time It Takes For A Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet to Work On Food And
 Bring Relief.
TRIAL PACKAGE SENT FREE.

There is no long wait between the time you take a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet and the feeling of relief it will bring to an overloaded stomach. It gets busy in a jiffy and quickly sets things to rights in that tired and dis the work of digesting the food it finds lodged there and in no time at all has things on the move-the gases cease forming, the breath is sweeten- ed, the coating on the tongue disap- pears and you are no longer conscious that you even have stomach
 That is one of the chief recommen- dations for Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets-that they don't take forever to accomplish the purpose for which you need them. It is just as if you put an extra stomach or two to work when yours needed help. You can't continually overload your stomach and expect it to always smile. It is going to get rebellious and sulky af- ter awhile and refuse to go on being driven to do double work. You must rest it occasionally-not by starving and thereby weakening yourself phys ically-but by using a Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablet to do the work of di- gesting your food.
 These tablets contain all the active elements of the natural stomach iui- ces and will alone and unaided digest food just the same as the gastric jui- ces. And nothing could be more harmless than these tablets. They do not effect the system in any way do not cure any ailment except as they digest food. Use them freely.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by all druggists everywhere. Price, 50 cents per box. A trial package Stuart CO, 15O Stuart Bldg, Marshall Mich.

.n tndian,s Joke.

Indians extract no little quiet enjoy> ment from what seem to them to be- oddities in the speech, manners and customs of white people. An Arapa- hoe stepped into the store of tfader one day to purchase some tobacco., The traders son was in charge of the place. Now. this son was at that em- barrassing stage of growth when tha voice is changing, so that he never could tell whether tenor tones would issue from his lips or babylike fal- setto or de profundis bass. On this occasion when the Indian asked for tobacco the youths bass notes held the right of way, though they were speed- fly followed by ascending tones up td g squeaky falsetto.
 He asked the Indian, "Will you have fine cut tobacco or a plug?" beginning in a growl and ending in birdlike so- prano.
 The Arapahoe listened gravely to thia vocal variety and then without smile reversed the process and, beginning with the youths highest note and end- ing with his lowest, scaled, T think I'll take some plug. Southern Work man.

Ether Topers.

Ether is consumed by gallons to get drunk on in small part of Scotland. The origin of this peculiar and limited abuse is strange. In 1848 a bad epi- demic of cholera broke out in Glasgow. Among those flying from it were some who came back to Draperstown, their native place. With them they brought cholera mixture which they found exceeding comforting" A rascally doctor, knowing that the comfort pro. ceeded from ether, laid in a whol0 cask. He made his fortune and start ed the habit that lasts till yet. Ether is sold over counters in Scotland, tho penny drink. An old ether toper can drink two or three ounces day. but one-half ounce is one big dram in wa. ter The drinkef gets hilarious in a minute. It is far wilder and mora dangerous than alcohol.

Case of Torrington Lawyer is to Be

Torrington. March 27.-Lawyer Homer R.

Martin Bos- sens of Torrington, who bought the property of the administrator for $960, has found that the state regards the property as an escheat and is looking to Scoville for a settlement.
 MT. Scoville's explanation is that he consulted the state treasurer regard ing the Beauvais estate and was ad- vised that it would be proper for him to sell the property.

CREED FOR
 GOLD CAUSE
 OF HORRORS
Rev. Dubois H. Loux Lectures on Relation to Church to Modern Humanitarian Move ments

Before an audience which filled the Rev. Dubois H. Loux, former pastor of the Center Congregational church, Meriden, preached a Socialistic sermon last evening. The crowd was estimat- ed at 800 and must have been we'll sat isfied with the minister's address, for no questions were asked although he attacked the present attitude of the Christian church toward economic questions.
 The speaker declared in effect that the church must take up the fight for the common people or pass out of existence He declared that Jesus Christ was put to death because he had dared to preach against the ac- quisition of wealth and that it is the duty of the church today to continue the battle against the acquiring of the greater part of the wealth of the world by only a few of the people.
 He illustrated his remarks with a chart showing that the wealth of the world is divided as follows: 54.8 per cent owned by one per cent of the people; 32 per cent owned by 10 per cent of the people; 1s per cent owned by S8 per cent of the people. = =
 He declared that he believed that the Socialists are fighting the real bat tie of Christianity in attempting to overcome these conditions. He de- c1ared that he felt that God does not approve of the condition of the world as it is today. The pastors of the churches who should be taking up this battle he declared are slaves to theil pew-rents and are thereby hopelessly handicapped.
 The speaker took up a number o1 current topics and such as the war ir Mexico, the Lorimer case, Saturdays fire horror in New York and showed that every one of them is directly traceable to the greed for gold on the part of few wealthy individuals.

cheerfuIness and cholera.

A cheerful disposition is held by some doctors to be the best protection against cholera. When this disease first visited Paris in 1882 a notice was issued advising the inhabitants Hto avoid as far as possible all occasions of melancholy and all painful emo tions and to seek plenty of distractions and amusements. Those with bright and happy temperament are not likely to be stricken down." This advice was largely followed, and even when chol- era was claiming over a thousand weekly victims the theaters and cafes were thronged. The epidemic was in some quarters treated as huge joke, and plays and songs were written around it. Rochefort wrote a plays sLe Cholera Morbus," which proved a big success, and another production on the same lines, Paris -n1alade,p also had long run.-London Chronicle.
