SIGHT FOR DUCK HUNTERS

If old duck hunters were standing on the lower bridge this afternoon and had not been armed they would have gone wild with disgust and would have kicked themselves. The lower harbor was dotted with flocks of fowl and as they travelled in flocks of from three to fifteen each the lowest estimate would have put at least 200 ducks quietly feeding. The oyster dredgers did not disturb them and oystermen threw oysters at them to which they paid not the slightest attention.
 The prettiest sight of all was when the steamer Oresta was let up the river A short distance ahead of her were flying a flock of the largest ducks ever seen by such an old timer as Bridge Tender Schietinger. They barely skinned the surface and when a short distance below the railroad bridge they rose and making large circles flew to the lower harbor.

Kramer lives in East Orange, N. J., and even during the off season he seldom misses a daily spin on the old wheels, He has picked up a. goodly pile of the needful in his cycling career, and has kept most of it, so he will be we'll heeled when at last Father Times gets the better of him.

to assert that stomach diseases work
more havoc with human machinery

ideal physician, in combination with
skill in chemistry has compounded in
her inexhaustible laboratory mar

describe the sufferingS that this dread
disease has brought to mankind. The
most common symptoms are pains in
the stomach, dull, heavy, bloated
feeling, loss of appetite, headaches,
nausea, dizziness. coated tongue, fit
full sleep, loss of energy, nervousness
and melancholia.
Tanlac, the great reconStructive
tonic, appetizer and builder of worn.
out tissues. compounded after years
of study, was designed to check this
distressing condition. Its purposes
are to restore healthy; normal ap.
petite, good, sound, reStful sleep, end

short, to restore the stomach to the
habit of doing full days work and
doing it efficiently.
