A pageant that is expected to draw q
great crowd to Washington VIII b'
staged here for a whole week. durint
May, according to plans Of the Chamber
OF Commerce. Board OF Trade, Retail
Merchants Association and other organi
zations OF the Capital.
Committees from these bodies have
been appointed and are working on plan'
for the presentation of The Fire Re
gained a Greek drama or pageant tha
will require a cast OF nearly loo per
sons and an outdoor arena that will b'
large. than anything OF the kind evei
constructed here.
The drama was produced In Nashville
Tenn, last May, and the idea wa
brought to the attention OF washington
by Sidney NJ. Hirsh, author.
1t is the plan to make the pageant a
nearly as possible a national AFFAIR. anC
the women OF official circles and oi
Washington society will be invited q
take part in the play. A large part oi
the spectacle will be made up OF classic
dancing and music, and one OF the fea'
lures will be a chariot race, In which II
is planned that the best horsemen OF the
Capital will appear.
May BE on ElIipse.
The site for the drama has not been
selected definitely, but the place most
favorably considered is the Ellipse back
of the White House. The permission OF
the government officials would have to be
obtained for the use Of this space, but II
is not thought that phase of the matter
would present any difficulty.
The play will be witnessed from a
great arena Ia tine shape Of a horseshoe
that will face a representation Of the
Parthenon. and will form the back
ground for the production.

u Am a New Man Since Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets Gave Me a New
stomach and Appetite

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
the juices necessary to digest the food.
Gases form and cause all sorts of pain,
misery, and wretchedness. as well as
extreme danger to the heart.
II is then that the stomach calls for
help. Ordinary medicines are impos-
sible. 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 and MI
trogenous ferments. What, then. should
be more natural than to supply these
properties artificially when the stomach
is unable to produce them.
That is the object of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. These powerful little
agents to relieve the stomach of its
burden. thereby giving it an opportu-
nifty 10 regain its normal strength
They tone up, strengthen. and reyitaI-
fze the secretory glands, mucous mem
branes, absorbing glands and muscu-
Lfar walls. They restore to the stomach
its lost powers of digestion so that it
tance. They contain, in a very concen-
trated form, every element necessary
TO digest all sorts of food, whether acid
or alkaline.
II you experience an oppressive feel
ing Just inside the lower end of your
war1 vour heart do not hesitate an in
slant. Get Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
from the nearest druggist at once and
take one. In a few minutes the pain
will leave you and you will feel better.
Take a tablet after each meal for sew
eral days and your stomach will once
more perform its duties All druggists
sell them at SOC box.
