Thousand of People Have Dyspepsia In It Worst form and Do Not Know It' A weak stomach Is the cause of about nine-tenths of nil disease, yet In most cases the wrong thing Is treated nnd the true cause overlooked. This Is because a weak digestion pro duces symptoms resembling nearly ov ery disease becnuso It weakens nnd disturbs the action of every nerve nnd organ In the bodyi poor digestion causes heart trouble, kidney tioubles, lung weakness nnd especially nervous break down or nervous prostration, the nerves ennnot stand the wear and tear tin leys generously fed by well di gested, wholesome food. Keep tho digestion good and no one need fear the approach of disease. Mrs. II. M. Lee, of Rochester, N. Y writes: For the sake of suffering hu manity I wnnt to say that from a child 1 had n very weak stomach, threw up my food very often after eating nnd nfter n few years nervous dyspepsia resulted and for more tban twenty years I have suffered Inexpressibly. I tried many physicians and ndver tlsed remedies with only temporary re lief for nervous dyspepsia and not un til I commenced taking Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets last September, six months ago, have I been free from suffering caused by the condition of my nerves and stomnoh; hi short chronic nervous dyspepsia. I have recommended Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets to ninny of my friends nnd now I want In a public way to say they are tho safest, plcasnntest nnd I believe surest cure for ntomnch and nerve troubles. I write my hon est opinion and I will gladly answer any letter of Inquiry at any time and feel that I am, In my small way, help ing on a good cause. . Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is not a patent medicine, but they contain only the ftult salts, digestive acids nnd pep tones necessary to help the weak stom noh to promptly and thoroughly digest food. All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at B0 cents for full sized pack age and anyone suffering from nervous elyspcpsln, sour stomacJi, headaches, acidity, gases, belching, etc.. will find them not only a quick relief but a rad ical cure. Send to Stuart Co.. Marshall, Mich., for little book describing cause and cure of stomach troubles giving symp toms and treatment of the various forms of Indigestion. In this place sincerely hope that ho will reconsider his decision and remain at least another year.

WELSH GIRLS GIVE A GIFT TO GOD Miss Jane Jones, Once a Servant, Gives It To a New York Church.

Miss Jnno Jones, who enmo to this country from Wnles In 1SC0, nnd then secured work ns n house scrvnnt, has tn.r.Bferred her property, which Is vnl tiee' nt $25,000, to the Park Avenue Methodist church, of which she Is a member.

Her sisters Moreover, who came from Wnles with her, nnd Mary.who followed a year later Joined her In Investing $10,000 In n mortgage on r piece of property In East Seventy second street many years ago. They continued to save the money they earn ed, and tho wenlth they amassed was used to purchase the five-story double apartment house No. 335 Ea3t Eighty fifth stieet. The title was put In the name of Mary, with the understntidlnj; that It should be left to the survivo of the three, nnd upon her death ' should bo leturned to God, from whim It came." Mary nnd Margaret married and aio deau, Mary having died about three years ago. Jane then became the sol custodlnn ot tho property. Her mar i led sisters left no children. HEIt IIEAHT FULL OF KINDNESS. Miss Jane found Joy In her sacred trust. She lives In one of the apart ments of her house. She Is flfty-elcht yenrs old, but does not look It; Is jolly nnd kind, and her tenants who have mot mlsfoituno know nothing of dis possess wan ants. The debt of the Park Avenue Metho dist Episcopal church -Is $30,000, nnd there was some talk recently of rais ing money to decrease the amount. Miss Jonos surprised the Hev. Dr. Al bert D. Vail, the pastor of the church, by offering him her entire fortune. Ho declined to accept It, because he be lieved that she should not be deprived In her declining years of the comfoits that would come from possession of the money she and her slsteis had worked hard for. Miss Jones Insisted that tho church should have the money and said It belonged to God. A comnromlse was then effected. Under It the property was transferred to the church last Monday, nnd G. B. Dlsbiow, a real estnte dealer, was ao polnted to manage the estato for the church and to pay the full proceeds to Miss Jones during her life. "JUST SING THE DOXOLOGY."

"I want no public mention made of this matter," said Miss Jones to me jesterdny. "I am a plain, old-fashioned old maid.

Welsh National choir tb glvo n performance at the Crystal 1'alaco next summer. A few evenings back Mr. Ivor Foster sang both In English and Welsh nt a banquet attended by tho Lortl Mayor of London. Next day London's chief mag istrate sent a special messenger to tho Royal Collego of Music to convey his con gratulations and expression of delight to tho young Welshman. Ono of the workmen employed at tho Dowlals Works was "moved up" Into n higher department tho other day, and he resolved to signalise the occasion by giv ing up his former sinful life and becom ing a member at one of tho Calvlnlstlc Methodist chapels. This ho did; and on Sunday evening he lecelved tho Holy Communion for the first time In his life Of course, nil the old members wore graclousnes personified, nnd tho minister made haste to speak to the new convert ns soon as the servlco was over. After nsklng him how ho liked the sermon, etc., the reverend gentleman said, "And now, John, which of tho two masters do you like best?" "Oh! well, sir," said John, declslely, "I likes ono so good ns tho other; only, you see, the work for tho old one was deueeably harder nor that I am doing now, 'Cept that I got nothing to say agen tho old master, 'cause ho did behavo all right to me." And the preacher was too much taken aback to explain to John that his ques tion referred to tho spiritual and not tho mundano master. Two of the greatest' heroes of modern times havo been given the sumo names John Rowlands. Tho older John Row lands, one stepping out bf his petticoats, nltercd his Into II. M. Stanley; the sec ond John Rowlands tho Cardiff cele brlty refuses to kick on the undivided skirt, nnd so remains the same John Rowlands us when ho was born. But thero Is a further difference. Tho older Rowland's mission consisted In convert ing barbarism Into civilized soele'y. But tho Cardiff John Rowlands believes in up setting nil tho Utile idols set up by civil ization and landing us In a country where In wild woods the noblo savage runs. Somo of tho quidnuncs are In doubt whether to applaud or scoff nt Lotd Bute's quaint notion of celebrating his sller wedding by providing every jear u welding dowry for one poor girl In Car diff. The Irish "Figaro" scents trouble, and thinks the Cardiff corporation aro in a pickle. Says tho "Figaro Whait till tho news of this gift is properly dlrsem Inated among brides impeded by want of money'; wait till brftlegtooms down on their luck com to know It; wait till the designing mothers nt their wit's end how to get Betty and Hetty off their hands understand that the marquees has de vised a means for their relief, and then well, I'd sooner be tho abuwd wretch I am than the mayor of Cardiff. Thero may bo one good result arising out of the responsibility and consequences of ad ministering tho fund, and that Is It will probably deter any ohlof magistrate seek ing n second term of office. In that view It might, Indeed, bo well If wo had n Marquess of Bute resident In Dublin. It Is a good tip to my friends of tho rate payers' association even fJOO so to be dis posed would havo such results ns would hurl even a M'Coy from tho scut or power." ALL SAW McKINLEV.
