pers of January Sd was tie announce
ment of the aeath of Alfred Tennyson
Dickens, son of the late Charles Dick
ems, from acute Indigestion. Mr.. Dick
ems was stricken very suddenly, only
being sick about three hours.
Newspapers of the next day January
a. featured the fact that our own
Fighting Bob" Evans died suddenly in
Washington Of acute indigestion after
an illness of less than two hours.
The above news items amply prove
how serious our national disease, indi-
gestion, is becoming, and the fact that
no matter how healthy and robust a
person is, they may be suddenly strick-
en- with this dread disease.
Prepare yourself to fight indigestion.

pared if he should suddenly attack you.
Guard yourself as thousands of others
have done with STOMACH RITE, the
rational remedy to fight this national
disease of ours.

liver medicine. As it has cured thou

suffering, possibly your life.

ness in the case of John B. Sneed, ac-
euSed as the slayer OF Captain A. q.
Boyee. Throckmorton was stricken sud

he cannot live. The mystery of Throck-
morton's Illness has not been cleared
away during the night. There have been
told many sensational stories to account
for his condition. One of the most
widely circulated is that for several days
Throckmorton has been in the company
OF two men supposed to be private de-
tectives unknown in Fort Worth.
As the hour for the opening of court
drew. near yesterday morning, it was
announced that attorneys for Eneed
would ask for another delay on the
ground that defense witnesses were abb
sent. 1t was Throckmorton who sat
talking to Captain Boyce in the lobby

Natures Sure Signs.

If We were a trihe more careful about
keeping watch upon oiT own physical
| condition we might avoid nine-tenths
| OF the discomforts and pains in life.
| The trouble with most of us is that we
rush through life as heedlessly as though
we were machines that had been wound
up to go for certain period of time
that could not be stopped by any power
| under heaven.
| OF course, the human body is not
such machine, by any means. No
such piece of mechanism was ever built,
OF ever will be seen, in this world at
least. Take the biggest piece of ma
chirery YOU know. 1t has to be treat
cd with a certain amount of considera-
tion, does it not? Ii the mechanism
does not run smoothly-if it interferes
anywhere il it makes the wrong kind
OF noises the wise maehinst gets busy
ut once and keeps busy until he dis
covers the trouble and remedies it.
Look at the human body as just such
machine, if You please, Is that any
reason why it should be neglected? The
fact that YOU don't thinkn is no ex-
enough To make You think If any

feel pain here-an uncomfortable SEN
sation there-you pass nights in toss

which nature whispers her words of

spirit" says Bolton Hall, "and bad
digestion is a surer sign of ill-doing
than bad conscience
The great crimes against the body
physical are those of overeating, over
stimulating, overworking, and everyday
ing. 1t is impossible to commit any
OF these crimes without awakening
warning protest from nature, and if
her words remain UNDECIDED, more serious
consequences are just as certain to fol-
low.
If we have a toothache, we go to
a dentist. There are not many of us
who can bear the pain from an aching
tooth without seeking relief. The very
fact that the ache is there tells us some
thing is wrong, and. If no remedy can
be found. ont the painful tooth comes
1t would be a good thing for us if
We were to pay Just as much attention
to all other protests Of nature. An
ache, pain, inactivity, discomfort, wher-
ever it may come, means that some
thing is not running smoothly-that
we have done something contrary to
natures laws. IF we remember this
if we heed the warning-we can make
life more free from pain, and, not i'm
probably. might lengthen it to a con-
siderable degree.--New York Globe.
