YOu Can Sit Right Down and Eat Any

With most pathetic sigh the dys-
peDtic sits down and views with

the best doctrine for most people to
hand out to suffering stomachs Is 10
couple square meal with Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. To sit down to a
good meal and eat whatever is served
Is getting back to the good old days
when grand-dad carved the roast; when
the family made cleanup; and when
good appetites with sound digestion
produced the men and women that have
made our nation what it is.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
dyspeptic's hope. They are a natural
restorative of healthy action to the
stomach and small intestines, because
they supply the elements that the weak
stomach lacks--pepsin. golden seal and
other digestives.
II you are afflicted with any syrnp-
toms of stomach trouble be assured
that your digestive organs are losing
power--they need help and there is no
more sensible helo to be given them
than to supply clements which Will do
the work of digestion for them.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have been
found by test to have digestive powers,
one grain of the active principle OF
these tablets being sufficient to digest
5000 grains Of ordinary food. 1t is
plain that no matter what the condi-
tion of your stomach, or how far your
disease has progressed. one OF Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets taken at meal time
Will do the work-give your stomach
an opportunity to regain its lost pow
ers. the muscles will be strengthened,
the glands invigorsted. and you will
be a new man.

URGE CURFEW LAW

New York, February s-A curfew law
for New York city was urged by the Rev.
James B. Curry. pastor of large East
Side Roman Catholic church before the
Republican club at its weekly discussion
today when the topic was the Control
OF Vice"
Father Curry told how his obserya-
ton of children of the street showed they
were driven to the pavements by inn
patient parents who disliked the disturb
ances OF childhood in their homes and
how in the alleys and by-ways little boys
and girls became the prey of degen-
crate souls, ever hunting the alley ways
and fleeing from the reach of moral
teachers"
The curfew, he said, was the best rem
edy he had to suggest after years Of
study. The presence of children unac-
companied on the street should be pro-
hibited after 8 o'clock at night In win
ter and 10 o'clock in summer. he declared.
