ach Revived and Made to Enjoy
Food with Stuarts Dys-
DcpSia Tablets.

Most Of us eat three times a day and
often forget that each meal should be
disposed OF In the stomach TO make
room for the next. The failure Of the
stomach TO do this is called Indigestion
or dyspepsia. with its sour risings, gas,
rumblings, pain, depression and the
feeling of stuhlness when breathing is
diflcult.
The most effective remedy and the
most reliable one, because you can get
it at any drug store in the United States
or Canada, is Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
lets. at 80 cents a box. Instead Of de-
privlng yourself Of food or going on a
starvation diet simply keep on as you
have and let these tablets straighten
out your stomach, digest the food and
keep you in the Tight.

Wilmington has a musical treat this
entire week in "Flo-Flo," and the peo-
pie are already aware OF the fact and
are insistent In their praise OF the
comedy and its actors.
Chief among the features OF the
comedy are the choruses which are lib
orally sprinkled throughout the per-
formance. The tuneful lyrics and
snappy dances are cunningly executed
by pretty girls in Dame Fashions lat

remember how little we are sacrific-
Ing In comparison with the young
men Of the nation who are Offering
their lives where we are asked to
offer only our dollars II we are
