THEY RIDICULE IT;
MANY PEOPLE RIDICULE THE
IDEA OF AN ABSOLUTE CURE
FOR DYSPEPSIA AND STOM
ACH TROUBLES.
Ridicule. However, la Not Argument, and
Facts Are Stubborn Things.
Stomach troubleB are so common and
In many rases so obstinate to cure
that ieople are apt to look with sus
picion on any remedy claiming to be
a radical, permanent cure for dyspep
sia and indigestion. Many such pride
themselves on their acuteness in never
being humbugged, especially on medi
cine. This fear of lining humbugged may
be carried too far: so far. in fact, that
many persons suffer for years with
weak digestion rather than risk a little
time and money in faithfully testing
the claims of a preparation o reliable
and universally used 09 Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets.
Now Stuurt's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different In one important re
spect from ordinary proprietary medi
cines for the reason thut they are not
a secret patent medicine, no secret Is
made of their InRXeUlents. but analy
sis shows them to contain the natural
digestive ferments, pure aseptic pep
sin, the digestive acids. Golden Seal,
bismuth, Hydrastis and nux. They are
not cathartic, neither do they act
IKiwerfully on any oiRun, but they cure
Indigestion on the common sense plan
of digesting the food eaten promptly,
thoroughly before it has time to fer
ment, sour and cause the mischief.
This is the only secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
cun cure Indigestion and stomach
troubles hecuuse they act entirely upon
the bowels., whereasi the whole trouble
is reully in the stomach.
Stuurt's Dyspepsia Tablets taken
after meals, digest the food. That Is
ull there is to It. Food not digested or
hulf digested Is poison as It creates gas,
acidity, headaches, palpitation of the
heart: losd of flesh und appetite, and
many other troubles which are often
called by some other name.
They a re sold by druggists everywhere

CLIFF DWELLERS' CUSTOMS.
When They Lived, Where, and Their
Peculiar lads-About Motind-lluildcrs
and Mound Theories -l p to-Dato Cliff
Dwellers Handsome Apache How
They Fight-Modern Ideas Taken.
From the Post-Kxpresn.
Osteologist Charles Ward was scrap
ing a bone of a man's leg Industriously
although to the mind of the reporter
who had just entered It was as white
as possible, as it was, and needed no
further cleaning.
"How do." said Mr. Ward, In reply to
the reporter's greeting:, and then began
to glue a small bone to the big bone.
"Oh yes, we've got some new things,"
he said. "We alwnys have something
new. This Is really quite Interesting
too." He arose, laid the big bone and
the little bone carefully down and took
the reporter Into the back room which
Is tilled with all sorts of bones from
complete respectable skeletons to skulls
nnd pieces of backbones and other de
bris from the human frame. On a
shelf were lying five grinning skulls
of a dirty rawhide color with yellow
teeth sticking out at right angles.
They were shivery looking specimens
but Mr. Ward looked at them affec
tionately and took one up with caress
ing tenderness.
"Just look at this." said he as he
handed the thing to the reporter. 'That
skull contained the brain of a man long
before Columbus was even dreamed of.
The man was a clirr dweller, or as
they are: sometimes known. Pueblo In
dians. Lived down In Arizona and
around there, you know, where the
canons of the rlversTafford perpendicu
lar walls and cliffs ubound. Thtse fel
lows liked to get a particularly Inac
cessible wull of rock and" then hollow
out a cave It they could not find one.
After that they would take the debris
of the rocks and build strange dwell
ings that looked like honey-combs
stuck to the edge of the cliffs. These
are yet to be seen In tine state of pres
ervation In Arlznnu und New Mexico.
These cliff dwellings were particularly
useful In case of sudden Invasion.' for
then the cliff dwellers could climb up
their rope ladders and draw them up
after, sit In the edge of the walls and
make sarcastic remarks concerning the
Invaders who raged uselessly 00 feet
below. They could not hear the re
marks but they knew that they were
being mude just the. same."
Modern Cliff Iiwcllers.
"There are no modern ellrr dwellers,
are there?" asked the reporter Inno
cently. . . -
"Well, we don't have real cliff dwell
ers, but people live In flatB and the
average New York Hat is a pretty good
Imitation of an ancient cliff dwelling
modernized . especially on the upper
stories. Yes the cliff dwellers were In
dians," said Mr. Ward. "You can tell
that by their skulls. They all had a
habit of flattening their skulls behind.
Bee this one?"
The skull looked as If It had been sub
jected to a great pressure behli:d where
the Causaslan head rounds out. so that
when the skull wan held up with the
side toward you It looked as If the back
part hud been sawed ofT.
"What was thut for?" asked the re
porter. "Same muson that women lace In
their foists and stick things through
their ears and do other thiugs equally
sensible, style. Why. there Is not u
race on the face of the earth, civilized
or not. which does not deform some
part of the hotly. A physician was
telling me the other day that In the
whole course of his practice, and it hus
been a long course, he hus. seen but one
perfect foot. So you sec that the fad
is universal and as old as the race."
"Did this flattening of the head in
terfere with the brain?"
"Probably not. You see that the
dome of the skull Is quito Inrge, show
ing a well developed Intellect. The
flattening process was done when the
cliff dweller was young ami the skull
nnd brain soft. The skull spread out
at the side on account of the flattening
behind, of course, but there wns Just
about ns much brain space. They
were all more or less deaf, though."
He took tin a Caucasian skull and
showed the reporter the ear nrlllce
which was about the size of a small sli
ver half dime. Then he showed him
the orltlce In the cliff dweller's skull. It
was a narrow slit. The compression
of the skull made that, and it made
them deaf, too. But. then, something
must be sacrificed to style.
TlieSI.nl) of a Monn J-Builder.
"Now, here's an Interesting skull."
he said, as he picked up a brown
grayish one which was full of holes
and caved In at the top. with crumbled
jaw benes. "This belonged to one of
that strange race known as the mound
builders, nnd may be a thousand years
old. They were not as Intellectual as
the cliff dwellers, for their head hud
not as much space for the brain. They
had a great deal of mathematical ubll
Ity, though, and could make earth
works which are still the wonder of the
nations. They were Indians, at least
that see ma to be the theory accepted
nowadays. They probably hud char
acteristics different from the usual run
of red men. but they still belonged to
the same rate. The reason thut sci
entists think they are Indians Is be
cause many works which are known
to be of lndlun make bear characteris
tics Identical with those of mure ancient
date attributed to the mound builders.
1 myself saw an lndlun earthwork not
far from here which looked exactly
like a mound, but which wus. never
theless the work of New Yolk Indians.
"Now this." said he us he handed the
reporter a well pimped skull, perfect in
every detail und which looked very new
by the side of the crumbling mound
builder's, "this is the skull of un Apache
squaw. She must have been unusuullv
beautlful, for the skull Is perfect. It
looks like a Cuticaslan woman's skull
and contained just exactly as much
bruin und perhups more than some of
them. The Apuches ure a very hand
some ruce. and It' a n.-rson could have
bronzed the face of u good looking
Human he would have made an Apache
brave. Their women are us handsome,
too. They are bruve and their chiefs
are no fools. Why In the lute trouble
with Gerunlmn many of the chiefs
showed superior generalship to the
I'nited Slates commanders. You know
an Judlun's Idea of bravery Is far dif
ferent from a white man's, nnd his
method of lighting Is founded upon his
Idea of bravery. An Indian thinks that
when the while soldiers get out and
stand In front of u heavy lire they are
fools to do It. The Indian is tuught
from his childhood to take advantuge
of every bit of shelter. And, strange
to say, thnf Idea Is beinsr followed In
modern warfure. Soldiers tiowaduys
do not form a heavy line of battle and
stand out to receive the heavy lire of
the enemy. They scatter in skirmish
lines, lie down, get behind trees, and
when they advance they do It by run
ning stooped way over, lying down,
then getting up again to gain unother
yard. The suvuges can teach civiliza
tion a thing or two sometimes."

Diphtheria
Less Fatal.
If the patient's strength can be
maintained, ami the great vital
centres of the body "kept up"
to the performance of their nat
ural functions, they will thus
dispel the disease germs that im
pregnate the entire body, and if
sufficient vitality is experienced,
the fatality of this dreaded disease
is lessened a hundred-fold.
Bovinine
that greatest raw food, is a won
derful creator of new flesh and
nerve tissue, is indispensible in
the treatment of this malady,
as it gives strength to the patient
with the least effort on the part
of the digestive organs, and in
addition, being itself a germicide,
it antidotes the existing microbes
of the disease. The ease with which
it can be taken when the lesions
of the throat preclude the use
of other foods, makes it an addi

A clothier might talk till he was
black in the face, and still he
would make no impression on the
people if he told falsehoods. If a
firm hasn't got the store aud the
goods to back up its advertise
ments, all the newspaper space in
America won't pay. The public
find things out for themselves.
Sometimes you can fool them a
little while, but it doesn't last long.
We have considerable to say
about our Men's aud Youths'
Clothing. We are positive we'll
do better by you than anybody
else. Better in the way of quality,
fit and price. The store is here
to back up every word spoken in
the ads.
