Eats Freely But
 Has No Dyspepsia
ALittle Pepsin in a Mild Laxa- tive Promptly Corrected a
 Bad Indigestion.

Fortunate is the one who can eat anything without suffering the tor lures of dyspepsia, but a few are so fortunate, care should be taken in the
 matter of diet Eating slowly, maSti- eating the food thoroughly and taking a hort walsk after the heavy meal of the day will do much toward assisting digestion Any grown-up person ought to know the peculiar foods that do not agree, and these should be avoided.
 When these common-sense aids fail, the next thing to do is to take a. mild digestive tonic with laxative proper ties, and there is none better than Dr. Ca1dwe11's Syrup Pepsin. It contains the greatest of all aids to digestion, good pepsin.e It has other ingredients that act mildly on the bowels, which together form combination for the relief of dyspepsia or Indigestion that is unsurpassed.
 Its action is to tone and strengthen the stomach and bowel muscles so that they can again do their work ma tural1y without outide aid, and when that happy moment comes all medi- cine can be dispensed with. It is the kbest remedy obtainable for any disor- der of the stomach, liver and bowels, for dyspepsia, constipation, bilious ness, headaches, drowSiness after eat ing, gas on the stomach, etc. Thou sands of users will testify to this, among them MT.

WHITE PINE
 GROWING IS
 PROFITABLE

B The growing of white pine, says the department of agriculture in a bulle- tin recently issued on the subject, is a profitable undertaking at per cent. compound interest. To bring in these returns, the trees may be cut when not more than from 35 to 70 years old. The original white pine forests are approaching exhaustion, according to the departm ent, and with the growing scarcity of 1arge-sized, high-grade white pine lumber, lower grades now find ready market. Besides this, 3the tree grows rapidly, has a heavy yield, and is easy to manage.
 Second-growth white pine, 50 years .oId, on good soil, may yield as much aas 49,OOO feet of lumber per acre. On medium soil, stands of the same age give 36,OOO board feet, and even on poor soil, 24,000 feet White pine box board lumber, one of the chief pro ducts of such stands, sells for from SIP to SIS a thousand board feet. Ma terial for making matches, another product. sells for from SIT to SIS a lhouSan.

stumpage for less than it is worth be- cause he does not know how much lumber the stand is actually capable of yielding, else is ignorant of the price the lumber. and other products will bring. Too often, also, the for esters say, the owner of second-growth fails to realize that perhaps by hold ing his pine trees for a few years longer, or by thinning it properly at the right time, he can obtain great deal more and better timber, and consequently much larger relative return in money, than if he allows 1t to be cut clear when the first oppor- tunity offers.
 The best second-growth white pine, 45 years old, will yield about 42,000 board feet per acre. but the same stand, when 55 years old, will yield 55,000 feet, an increase of 13,00O feet per acre in 10 years. And this is not all, for along with the increase in quantity comes an increase in quality. Not only more, but better timber is to be had. Counting in this factor of quality, the lumber from an acre of best white pine, 5 5 years old, is worth about $1,O0O against 3. value of $750 when the stand is 45 years old.

THE NEW YORK EARTHQUAKE.
Little Danger of Destructive Quakes
 in Appalachian Region.

The recent earthquake in New York so far as can be decided from infor- nation now at hand, was strongest in the northeastern part of the State and less intense in all directions from that section, according to a statement by Arthur Keith, who has made a spe- ciaI study of the geologic history and structure of the Appalachian Noun tain region As earthquake shocks are regularly weaker outward from a center, the area of greatest intensity at the surface is nearest the point of origin, although this point probably is not at the surface. The earthquake center, therefore, appears to be in or north of northeastern New York.
 Earthquake shocks are caused by the breaking and moving past each other of great masses of rock in the earth's crust Rocks are more or less elastic, particularly crystalline and ig- neous rocks like granite, and they transmit shocks for very long dis

The Girl: stBetty has pretty face and
 cute dimples, but the IlimpIes are horrid.''
 The Man: .sStuarf's Calcium Waters would remove them in a jiffy." The great trouble with the major ity of women is that they try to re- move pimples by outside treatment, such as greases, massage, cosmetics, electricity, etc. Tn csc methods will not cure nor even temporarily remove pinpIes and facial disorders.
 The difficulty is generally impure blood. The blood is a stream of waste matter filled with poisons. Its color is black or blue or brownish cast, in stead of ruby red as it should be. Stuart's Calcium Waters go into the stomach with the food you eat. They become a part of the blood and they go wherever the blood goes. You can thus see that these pleasant little wal CTS filled with cleansing power seek out the very impurities in the blood system.
 They open the pores and the tiny canals leading to the. pores. This act at once permits the blood to cast off it's load of dead matter and in doing so there is no stagnation and 1conse- quently no discoloring of the skin.
 The best color always comes in youth of course, but all the cosmetics in the world will not bring back. the color if your blood is diseased or fill ed with impurities which it cannot re- move or throw off.
 Go to your druggist whoever he may be and he will give you a box of Stuart's Calcium Wafsrk- nrice Soc.
