FRANCIS wilson LECTURES
ON some STAGE memories

"Merrie Memories OF the Stage"
was the subject of a talk given in the
New Century Club last night by Fran
els Wilson, the noted actor. The lee
ture was well attended. Mr.. Wilson
proved himself to be the same tai
ented speaker as when he was on the
stage and experienced no difficulty in
holding the close attention Of his
audience.
One of the merriest memories he
has. Mr.. Wilson said, is his friend
ship with the late Eugene Field. the
noted poet. He said Field was a man
of keen judgment and his friendship
with him brought with it much pleas
ure and benefit. Mr. Wilson describ-
ed Field as a poet laureate of child
hood and said that he was one of the
quaintest and most interesting char
acters he has ever known.
Following the lecture many persons
from the audience shook the hand OF
the distinguished speaker.

YOU MAY ENJOY
YOUR MEALS
Ii You viii But Equip Your Stomach
With The Right Means TO
Handle The Food.

IL you go into restaurant, cafe or
hotel, where all your environments.
the lights, dazzling linen, silver, cut
glass, music, chatting and laughing
women seem to foretell of pleasant
meal, your stomach should not revolt
when you read the menu card.
Heavy steaks, soups. oysters. en-
trees, salads, etc. should hold on ter
rors for the healthy stomach and they
do not.
A small box of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets placed in your vest pocket
will be sufficient guard against the
mad revels of a WORKOUT stomach.
A tablet taken a few moments after
a copious meal will remove any i'll
effects Of food from your stomach and
you may eat as generously as those
about you.
One of these little tablets will of
itself settle all questions of indiges-
ton for that meal and will place. your
stomach and digestive organs in a
better condition for the next.
Your blood will be enriched, and the
depleted gastric fluids will be re-
built.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are nat
ural, active, digestive agents who give
TO the gastric juice the elements they
lack, which ease the stomach, remove
irritation and enrich and stimulate
the blood.
All of these statements may be veri-
fled if you will take but a little of
your time to prove them.
Every druggist carries Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets in stock and will
tell you of their merit These tablets
sell for SOC per box, or send us your
name and address and we will send
you at once by mail a trial package
free. Address f. A. Stuart Co., PA

Dispatches received yesterday stated
that Sl.2O per barrel for Oklahoma crude

the highest since the mid-continent held

three times the price asked last August.
The cause for this rise is due TO the
gradual exhaustion Of the Gushing pool.
This well is producing approximately
20 900 barrels a day. A year ago the
production was 100000 barrels.
The output of many oil reiineries Is
