If the stomach is overworked, its
muscles become tired and gradually
grow weaker and weaker, until they
are unable to take care of the food
properly. The glands fail to provide
the juices necessary to digest the
food. Gases form and cause all sorts
of pain, misery and wretchedness, as
we'll as extreme danger to the heart.
1t is then that the stomach calls
for help. Ordinary medicines are i'm
possible. They not only fail to help
the stomach but injure the entire
system. Medical men have studied
the stomach and have discovered that
the digestive juices consist largely of
pepsin, hydrochloric acid and nitro
! genous ferments. What, then, would
be more natural than to supply these
properties artifically when the stom-
ach is unable to produce them?
That is the object of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. Tehe powerful little
agents relieve the stomach of its bur
den, thereby giving 1t an opportunity

They restore to the stomach its lost
powers OF digestion SO that it can

They contain, in concentrated form.

If you experience an oppressive

STA Tablets from the nearest druggist
at once and take one. In few min

camp fire girl. 1t Is claimed, does not
want it put that way. Then again it
is said that the camp fire girl is
! feminine for Boy Scout. But this is
not pleasing to her. Sh, does not
learn scouting. She does not shoot
birds, even the frisky annoying little
English sparrows. She feeds them
with the more popular birds when
snow is ION the ground and the little
innocents are starving. The camp fire
girls are good set. She learns good
girlship, friendship. loyalty to friends

She is an Indian, a good Indian, of
course, and yet is one of

| from the old idea of woman duty, the
| firekeeper and fire tender. Her watch
,, word is Wohelo which means, Work,
health, love-" and is made up OF the
first two letters of those three words.
| Her animating impulse is taken from
the symbol of the campfire:
AS fuel is brought to the fire,
So purpose to bring my strength,

And my sorrow,

Seek beauty.
Give service.
Pursue knowledge.
Be trustworthy
Hold on to health.
Glorify work.
Be happy.
There are three ranks of camp fire
girl--the fuel gatherer, the fire light
er and the torch-bearer Ranks are
denoted by faggot of wood, burn
ing fire and a torch. The girls are
supposed to make their own camp fire
Or ceremonial costumes. These with
out any set reason, have taken the
form of Indian dress.
The various Camps mostly hav,
Indian names. Wood lore and Amer
lean folk lore are their most impor-
tant studies.
Beads are given for services, for
things done and every bead has spe-
cial significance.
Every girl is supposed to wear a
costume that signifies her disposition
or accomplishment One girl wears
dress covered with silhouettes of
ducks because she can swim like
duck.
Another girl wears dress marked
with larks because she can sing like
lark.
Another is distinguished by deers
on her skirt because she can run like
a deer. This is part of the Indian
significance of the cult.
And two of them will wear the
images of kittens because they nap
on the same couch and snuggle UP to-
gether as playfully as young, playful
felines. They are pretty girls, too,
as well as good.
The girls learn everything from
sewing and cooking to making camp,
making canoes, swimming, running,
the lore of the woods and hills, bird
lore, storytelling, hygiene, good girl
ship and everything else.

Free as girls of Indian braves
Here we go, row, row, row.

Swimming, swimming like a duck;
Keo, Keo, here we row.
On thy breast, Lake .Keokuk;

And we hear the whispered sounds
AS If night applauded day
From the happy hunting grounds.

Wild to hear the paddles play
And the pretty ripping stir
AS our boats glide on their way
