 As is the case with new orders springing up, No. 1896 received the usual knocks from the knocking club, one of which was often expressed, to your humble servant and others:
 Your order won't last six month8.- It has been conclusively proven that the prophets were not refia ble men, or were not familiar with this great order, as on this suspicious occasion we are celebre ting the seventh annt- versary of our nest. The order ranks with the best orders in the city Tn

DISASTROUS FIRE AT
 OLD BAILY PLACE Barn Was Totally Destroyed by Flames Tuesday Morning.

The barn at the old Bailey place in Fftchvflle was totally destroyed by fire shortly after eleven o'clock Tuesday morning. The local fire department was asked for aid and Deputy Chief Stinson was sent to the scene but the flames had gained such headway that it was impossible to save the struc- ture.
 About noon a telephone call was sent to the Central station for a grass fire on Laurel Hill avenue. The fire caught from a locomotive and as property was endangered it was thought best to have the assistance of the fire department.
 Shortly before seven thirty Tuesday night another call from Laurel Hill was sent in for what was supposed to be another grass fire but on respond ing it was found that men were burn ing over a piece of ground and had the blaze under control.

You can digest pie of any kind. eggs fried in pork fat. and lots of other so-called indigestible foods if you follow meals with Stuart's S Dyspepsia Tablets. And it is from such food you get the most food value, the greatest energy, the highest degree of nutrition. But whether you eat these plain dishes or prefer salads rarebits, fancy pastry and the highly seasoned, special food, it is all the same if you use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals. They digest food. They do what the weak stomach can no longer accomplish alone.
