RELIEVE YOUR
STOMACH
Send for Free Package Of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and Let Them
Digest Your Food.
THREE THINGS YOU MUST NOT DO.

THREE THINGS YOU MUST NOT Do.
If you have indigestion, loss of appe-
tite, sour stomach, belching, sour watery
risings. headaches. sleeplessness, lack OF
ambition, nausea and other symptoms
peculiar to all stomach troubles. there
are three things you must not do.
First-Don't neglect your stomach by
letting it take care of itself, because il
will constantly grow worse.
Second-Don't use cheap ''tonics,
drugs" and pills" which simply irri-
tate and inflame the stomach and in
testines and which will ruin your health
completely; and,
Third-Don't starve yourself. because
by so doing you are robbing the body
of its proper nourishment.
A large number of people do one of
these three foolish things. That's why
they never regain their former health.
Starvation is common practice
among people who have weak stom-
achs, but does it sound reasonable to
you to deprive the body of its nourish-
ment every time you/wish to give the
stomach a rest? We admit that your
stomach needs a resin fact, that's the
very point we wish to impress upon
you-but there is a better, safer quick
er and more pleasant way to give your
stomach a rest than by the starvation
method.
What you need is something that will
take the place of your stomach and do
its work-some substitute that will di-
gest and assimilate the food, thus CIV
ing the body its proper nourishment
without taxing the stomach.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are the
best substitute known, because they
contain the very agencies necessary to
digest all foods. These elements will
thoroly digest and assimilate any and
all foods, so you can eat all you want.
Experiments and tests have proven
that one grain of the active principle
contained in these tablets will digest
900 grains of meat eggs and other
foods. One or two of these
tablets taken after each meal
will relieve your stomach of practically
all the work, thus giving it the much
needed rest. Keep this up for a short
time and your stomach will soon regain
its health and strength.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are put up
in the form of little tablets or loZenges,
are easy and pleasant to take. and can
not lose their strength by evaporation
as most liquid medicines do.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold in
large 50-cent boxes by all druggists in
the United States
We would like to have you try them
before you buy; SO if you will send US
your name and address we will send
you, absolutely free, sample package

nuystified than ever. and in another
months time another letter came and
another sad story about Fido and an
other silver dollar. This was kept up
for six months, and six silver dollars
were received by Mr.. Hitchcock, when
he concluded to cut the Gordian knot,
ana he fred the seven silver dollars
back to San Antonio in the hands of a
Postal Inspector, and he told him to
hand them to the man who owned the
dog Fidc. The MAN strenuously de-
ella FED tina he had not written the let
tiers, and them after waiting another
month, the man in San Antonio fired
the six silver dollars back to Secretary
Hitchcock with the same sad story
about Fido and the state of the wealth

Count Apponyi, the celebrated Hun
garian statesman, who was the guest
of Baron Hengelmulier Hengervar, the
from Hungary, a
few days ago. has been taking a whirl
in New York society, and was about
whirled off his feet. The Count is i'm
a state of continual wondernent over
the tremendous pace of the American
woman. He says he does not see how
in the world the American woman
keeps up with her social calendar. He
doesn't see how she finds time to fol-
low ii and at the same time be actively
in all manner of clubs and
social and charity work. The perpet-
uai youth of the American woman is
another thing that surprises him. He
says that he met mothers and daugh-
ers at the same social affairs, and it
vas quite difficult for him to tell which
was mother and which was daughter.
He says the American woman is so
active, so keenly alive, so
healthy and enthusiastic. This opinion
Of Count Apponyi is accepted for what
i is worth If the American. woman
we're not all these, she would not be

Lending to the Government.

S. b. Ormsby, 5th Mich. Cav. Candy
ire, remembers that he was one who
lent to the Government by taking his
pay in 7-30 notes. He kept these until
he got home from the army in April
1865. when, finding every avenue OF
employ ment filed by others. he had to
part with them. The very men who
refused to help the Government to a
single dollar in its sore extremity got
those notes and made a fine investment

Twin Gowns.

There is not anything much more
disconcerttng to a society woman than
to find that her dearest idea In a
charming gown has been duplicated by
her deadliest foe or even her sweetest
friend. This happened. however a few
days ago, when Miss Taft was cues,
at dinner. The young daughter of her
hostess spent the Autumn in Paris,
where she laid herself OUT In secur-
Ing a wardrobe that would astonish
the natives, and as she has money TO
do this she has practically succeeded.
But at this dinner to the debutante
of the White House one of those re-
markable things occurred which either
make you very angry or arouse intense
amusement. The young hostess, who
assisted her mother in welcoming the
guests. wore creation of blue satin,
vailed in rose-colored tulle. with en-
bellishments of gold, and a girdle. the
chief feature of which was a cluster
OF grapes reproducing the tints or the
tulle and the satin.
When Miss Taft arrived she wore an
exact counterpart of her friends gown,
except that the colors were reversed,
the under robe being of pink satin.
with the overdress of blue and bands
of gold. The girdle and the grapes
We're identical.
A similar incident occurred when
Miss Alice Roosevelt was the debutante
of the White House. Her handsomest
visiting gown of white cloth and Irish
lace was duplicated for Miss Alice
Ward, who later became Nine. Riano,
wife of the present Minister from
Spain. The two young women wearing
the gowns met at the smartest tea of
the season. They had been friends for
years, made the best of 1t, and, to the
great entertainment of the company
executed an impromptu cakewalk
Last Winter Mrs. Cornelius Wander
bilt. Jr.. and Mrs. Perry Belmont con-
