4 Gentleman of the "old School"
 Who Keeps Up With the Times.

Many people have poor teeth, weak gums. sore teeth and other bOthersome troubles that prevent a vigorous mas tication of food. And instead of cal ing soft. mushy food that pals on the appetite they go in for those saNory dishes, the very odor of which starts the saliva and makes the stomach Iair- ly revel with anticipation.
 This is but natural condition. Any Q thing else borders upon the lndiHer- ence which fosters indigestion and chronic dyspepsia.
 It may be safely said that it should not be a question of diet or Kind % food. or teeth or even any uf the re- tiexes which arc supposed to have their influence in deTanging the stoin- ach. It is simply a matter of supply ing the stomach and digestive organs with those known assistants such as pepsin and hydrochloric acid, both ol which have a direct and powerful ac- ton upon the contents of the stomach One grain of a single ingredient ir Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest | 5000 grains of food, This saves your I stomach and gives it the rest 1t needs All muscles require occasional rest i ! they are ever over-taXed. The stom-
 ach is no exception to this rule. Try box of StuartS Dyspcpsi ! Tablets and you will wonder how yo' ; ever got along without them. The. are sold at 90 cents by all druggist ' everywhere.

 Bath Street to Near Boswell Avenue-Used $5OOO Ap- propriation-New Rails For Trolley and Cement Curbs
 For Sidewalks Improve the Street.

90 pound rail to point opposite the lower end of Boswell avenue park. The location of the tracks in the street has also been shifted under the direC tions of City Engineer George E. Pitcher so that now there is a uniform width on both sides of the track to the curb, where formerly there were places on the street where a wide team could not squeeze by car.
 A cement curb has been ldld all along the east side of Franklin street, and also on the west side of the street except at a place on the Bath street street end where the street is to bC widened at some future day.
 Needed repairs to the pipe lines have been made and at the Hodge sta bles a culvert has been moved a short distance northerly, so that 2 rolling gutter without any curb could De lait in front of the stables. At the point where the hassam strikes the Boswell avenue crosswalk, the crossw ak is tC be eliminated, as was also one at Will low street, where the street is laiC fiat which has recently, it is said, be- come the established custom of stree construction.

THROUGH THE SCHOOLHOUSE
 OF THE WORLD
Norwich Audience Taken on Trip in
 Illustrated Lecture.

A Trip Through the Worlds School house was the subject of the interest ing lecture delivered before an audi ence of about 100 in the Y. M. c. A hall Thursday evening, bX w. L. Raeder of Scranton, Pa, in the inter- ests of the International Correspon- dence Schools. An effort is being made to interests the heads of manu- facuring concerns in the work of the schools and in response to special in- vitations number of local factory officials were present at the lecture. The talk was illustrated by excellent stereopticon views of the various buildings connected with the schools and of the officials.
 The school was founded 20 years ago, said the speaker by Thomas J. Foster, who still heads the organization. In the early sos he was editor of the Min | ing Herald in a mining town and be- came interested in the cause of the numerous serious accidents about the mines. His conclusion was that the great majority of accidents were due l to the ignorance of the employees. His ! first move towards reducing the num- Der of these accidents was to include column of instructions in his paper and shortly afterwards he edited a miners pocket guide. He then started ! to teach mining by mail and since that time the school has grown until | 234 courses of instruction are now of l fered. The company employs 3,404 men in this country witb over a thou
 sand more in England. The pupils of the school number at present 1,400,00C
 and the number is steadily growing.
 MT. Raeder went on to explain ir detail the work of the school and 1T
 his interesting remarks said that the
 present emperor of Japan learned the
 English language through the school
 He also cited instances of the grea
 success of some of the graduates.

And His Stomach

Thousands with Poor Teeth Have Good Digestion by Using Stuart's

Whether or not we eat too much, is 4 matter for individual judgment Beniamin Franklin tried the experi- ment of living on a handful of raisins. But he discovered that the question wasn't what he ate. nor the quantity thereof. but one of digestion and as- similation. The normal person eats heartily. and with keen enjoyment. That is because his mind doesn't an- ticjpate stomach trouble. And if he does have an attack or sour stnmach or indigestion he knows that the use of Stuart's Dyspepsia TaOiets slNe quick relief.
