A NEW STOMACH ACHE CURE
SAND FRIED, BAKED OR RAW
REALLY WORKS WONDERS. .
Has Cured 1t for Congressman Gro
mer of Indiana, and That Gem
tleman Is Feeling Fine.

NEW YORK.-A Muncie, Ind, dis
patch to the World says that sand
par boiled, baked or fried-has cur
ed stomach trouble for George w.
Cromer, congressman from the
Eighth congressional district; John
Fitzgibbons, president of an iron
company, and Harry w. Long, law
yer and twice prosecuting attorney
of Delaware county. Despite M III
laughter that greets them when they
tell the stories of their recovery from
indigestion, dyspepsia and other
stomach troubles they are spreading
the gospel of sand.
Fitzgibbons tried it out first. 1t
worked wonders for him. 1t was
much the same way with Cromer and
Long. With only half faith, but des-
perate from years of suffering, they
tried out the sand cure and declare
they are again sound and whole in
the regions of the stomach and that
their general health has been improv-
ed IS per cent.
Raw sand will do the trick for
some people, said Fitzgibbons.
Baked sand will do it FOR mes An
other might have to have the sand
par-boiled, steamed or friad Just
look me over. Before l took the
baked sand cure was nervous, run
down, and subject to violent attacks
of stomach trouble which made
worthless at my desk and nuisance
to my friends and my family. If
there is any one in the world who
feels better than l do these days, or
who can stand more work and be
pleasanter about it than myself, /
would like to get a look at him.
The sand I use is the common, ordi-
nary sand with the dirt picked out. "

1t may not stir the blood like the
blare of bugles and the clatter of
cavalry and the fluttering of banners
and the drumbeats of war, but it APP
peals to the imagination-this vast
idea of universal peace which is en-
bodied in the great Palace of Peace,
which was opened a few days ago at
The Hague.
All nations have contributed of
their finest toward making this build
ing a representative of the best that
is in their national lives.
AS is fitting, the Hall of Arbitra-
ton is the chief interior feature.
The magnificent building, for which
Mr.. Carnegie gave 81, 100000, stands
in beautiful grove of plane trees
near the Palace Buitenrust. Because
The Hague was the seat of the orig
inaI Worlds Peaces Commission, it
was chosen for this structure. The
Palace of Peace was dedicated on
Thursday by Queen Wilhelmina of
Holland. The structure is creation
of a French architect made to resem-
Bile chateau of northern France.
It's corner stone was laid July 30,
1907. Rectangular in shape, the
peace palace is fianked by high tow
ers. Three sides of the building con-
stitute the assembly hall, while on
the fourth is the library. The ia
cade of the second floor is decorated
with sculptured figures representing
science, agriculture, art, navigation,
commerce, industry, eloquence, con-
science, will force, study, authority,
humanity, constancy and wisdom.

IDIOTIC AND DISGUSTING
Fortunately Only a Certain Glass OF

A shop is about to be opened in
L.Ondon's West End where clothes
of all kinds for nobly-born dogs will
be sold. When it is mentioned that
not long ago an English society lead
