BLAME FIRE
ON INCENDIARY
SuppOSitlOR is That Horses
We're Stolen and Build
ing Burned

It Is now believed that the barn
of Arthur Handy, Of Bothwyn. which
was burned at midnight, on Thursday,
was fired by an incendiary. There
are a number of people who live in
the neighborhood who believe that
some one took couple Of the horses
from the barn, then set fire thereto
TO cover up his tracks. It is impos-
sible to ascertain how many head of
stock was consumed, so it is argued
from this that several horses could
have been taken and the theft never
been discovered.
Mr.. Handy. the owner OF the dairy
and the property that was destroyed.
took an inventory and It was learned
that besides "a head of cows there
were two bulls, six horses, a number
of heifers and a goat, all of which
died the tragic death of a barn fire,
some 35 in all. Charles Butler. who
occupies with his brother William
the Booth farm opposite, was out
about his own property at 10 o'clock
on the night of the fire, looking to
see if everything was all right before
retiring. but noticed nothing wrong
in the way of a fire at the Handy
barn. In fact the Buffers did not
know the place had burned until the
following morning when they went to
their barn which is just along the
Chelsea road.

DySpepiic Days Of Old
The Simple, Safe, Sure Use Of
Stuart's DYSPEPSIA Tablets WIN
Bring Joy TO Any Stomach Suf-
ferer In an Easy, COmforta-
BILE, Dietless Way.

How many quiet, afraid-to-make-a-
noise, unhappy homes there are due
to cross, irritable, miserable, close
that-kitchen-door kind of dyspepsia
sufferers. Such men and women
cannot help their peevishness for
they suffer terribly and should not
be censured.
stomach that is irritated, raw,
rebellious and not fit to do It's work
Is certainly the cause of constant
dragging down and even excruciating
agony.
II is a feeling surpassed by no
other Illness known TO man.
No one should blame such a per-
son for i'll temper and silent moodi-
ness Ever and always is that dead,
gone, sour tasting feeling at hand to
curse every waking hour.
Dyspepsia, bad breath, gastritis,
catarrh of the stomach, pains in bow
els, nervousness, heartburn, belching,
bloating, etc, come from wrongful
conditions of digestive juices There
is nothing to correct these horrors
until these juices are again replen-
ished.
When the system exhausts its
juices, when the liver, when the pan
creas. the stomach become thereby
unfit to furnish the proper digestive
fluids, one cannot expect this same
system. without aid, to do anything
else than keep on making their i'm
proper digestive products.
Such a condition means all man
her of suffering, and unquegtionably
fatal danger turks in such delay
There is relief in Stuarts DYSPEPSIA
Tablets that means restoration to
normal health, building up OF COR
rect digestive juices and an absolute
harmlessness in the method and its
result
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
qualities in just the right proportion
to build up the weakened gastric
juice. When the tablet reaches the
stomach, it readjusts matters quick
ly. balances acids and alkalies and
stops pain, suffering etc.
Other ingredients have just as i'm
portant effects upon the intestines
as well as the stomach and thus in a
remarkably short time stomach ills,
indigestion, etc, disappear
