Millions are used every year-and when every other man woman you meet recommends them to you if you will but inquire-why do you continue to suffer from stomach trouble?
 The reasons why Stuarr's Dyspepsia Tablets are such a widely used rem edy are very easy to understand. These tablets contain almost the sam e elements as the gastric juices of the stomach. And when your stomach is sick and not working just right, it does not give out enouh of the na- tura1 digestive juices to properly take care of the food you eat. So if you will only give the stomach a little help by taking a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet after meals you will relieve the stomach of it's chief duty and aI-- low it the rest it needs to recuperate. One grain of the active principle in a Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablet digests 1000 grains of food, whether you place it in a glass jar with cooked food or in your stoch after you have eaten the food.
 All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and once you try them you will never again wonder what to do for disordered, weak, sour and Gassy stomach. 50 cents a box.

 There is an Oriental Institute" 0r languages at Naples, Italy, with an attendance of 460. Seventy-ei eight students are taking Arabic, 16 Tur- kish, 32 Persian, 68 Amharic (the court language of Abyssinia), S5 Chi nese, 63 modern Greek, S1 Albanian. and 80 Japanese. Some of the stu dents pursue two or more of these languages concurrently.
 Ancient farm houses have been gath cred from all parts of Denmark and placed in the grounds of the famous Danish National Museum at Lyngby, with a view to educating the people in their national history.

In 1900 about in every hundred children did not receive instruction; in 1904 the number had gone down to in every thousand; in 1908 it was i to a thou sand; and more recently the inspec- tor at Nijmegen was able to announce that there were no children of 13 or IA years who could not read and write.

WOMEN LIKE MODERN FREEDOM.

Miss Elizabeth Wordsworth, the hrst principal of Lady Margaret Hall, C7r- ford, delivered an interesting lecture lately in London on the position Of women in the present day. She said that the last century had witnessed an immense change in the position of wo- men. Woman was a much freer agent than she used to be, with pow CTS more cultivated, a right to inde- pendent existence more fully recogniz- ed, and allowance accorded to her of forming her own religious views, ss well as the public expression of her political opinions.
 An the other hand, and this Is great improvement, woman i9 less courted to-day than formerly, her choice in matrfmony is less extensive she has more often to fight her own way because there is no one to fight it for her. Men were not nowadays so courteous to women as their fore fathers used to be. It may be that women pay thus for their indepen- dence. but the truth is that they pre- fer the freedom of being able to go where they like and do what they like. When one sees a girl with un- tidy hair going through wind and rain on a bicycle one concludes that she prefers 1t to the family coach, a postchaise or a sedan chair. A wo- mans place in the world no longer depends upon her beauty of her per sonal charm.

10000 MEN JOIN
STRIKE IN LONDON
Dockers, Seamen, Carmen, Firemen
and Builders Have Joined Trans
port Workers Walkout.

London, June 3-It was estimated
that 10000 men were idle today along
the Thames and Midway rivers. These
include lockers, carmen, seamen, fire-
men and members Of the builders
trade. This is considerable increase
as many union men joined their strik-
ing comrades during the week end.
On the other hand, however, there
we're more men working than was the
case on Saturday. The sailors and
f,remen's union had not less than 500
men busy to see that members of the
union arriving on incoming steamers
Immediately went out. In some cases
applicants for work have been roughly
treated by these pickets.
The position Of the lockers is be.
coming very serious. Pawnbrokers
are refusing to accept further pledges
and unless the strike is speedily ended
it will mean semi-starvation for many
residents of the riverside.

was wounded by bullet from police
mans revolver during battle be-
tween officers and a band Of striking
Lancaster mill weavers today. 1t is
alleged that strikers interfered with
woman on her way to work IN the
mill. The woman's screams brought
a policeman to her assistance, but the
officer was roughly handled by a
crowd, and large band Of police was
rushed to the scene. The strikers
took up a position on the top of q
slope and from it maintained a con-
tinuous bombardment with bricks and
stones, during which many of the
officers were hurt.
The officers charged up the hill
twice, but each time were driven back.
The police fired volley into the air,
but this demonstration did not appear
to alarm the strikers. Then the
officers levelled their weapons at the
strikers and charged upon the hill
third time, a few shots being fired on
the way. One shot wounded a weaver
in the leg. The disturbers were dis
persed.

BOTH SIDES CLAIM
STRIKE VICTORY
Only Few New York Hotels Have
Closed Dining Room, But Men
Say Others Will Go Out.

New York, June, 3.-The strike OF
walters and cooks for higher wages,
shorter hours and union recognition
entered upon its second week today
with both strikers and employers
claiming the victory. OF the two
scores hotels and restaurants affected,
less than half dozen had closed their
dining room doors and the remainder
appeared to be fairly well equipped
with strike breakers.
The hotel managers declared that
the strike was broken: union leaders
laughed at the statment and repeated
their avowed intention of calling out
the workers in every hotel and res
taurant in the city.
Before you know it," said Business
Agent Elster of the Workers union,
"hotel workers of every kind, includ-
ing the flremen and even the chauf-
feurs in the street, will be with us.
Before many days, the hotels won't
have any lights"

STUART IN FAVOR
OF MIXED TICKET
Charlton Man Says Democrats Should
Nominate Bryan and LafoIlstte;
Thinks Well of Gaynor.

Charlton, June 3.-"To tell the plain,
unvarnished truth--which is not al
ways permissible in politicst-he ticket
that a majority Of the intelligent voters
Of the nation want is William J. Bryan
for president and Robert M. LaFollette
for vice president
This was the statement today Of F.
@. Stuart, a prominent democratic
state leader and one time candidate for
congress IF Senator LaFollette could
rise above party, and the Baltimore
convention would exercise good judg-
ment then the reign of the people
would to a certainty begin In Novem
Der through the election Of Bryan and
LaFollette.'
Mr.. Stuart does not think LaFollette
would sacrifice his senatorship for the
vice presidency under either party, and
this his nomination at Baltimore, there
fore, is out Of the question. Neither
does Mr.. Stuart think there Is to be
plain sailing at Baltimore, though he
says Clark may win the nomination.
And he would be very acceptable
candidate to the democrats generally,
but would he be the strongest candi
date the party could name" asks Mr..
Stuart.
william J. Gaynor of New York and
John F. 1Shafroth Of Colorado, is the
democratic ticket, Mr.. Stuart suggests.
