A PECULIAR FACT.
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.

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.
Miss Jones Is n woman cf strong re
llpious tendencies. She has hold posl
t'nns such ns housekeeper for the As
loi, Vnndcrbllt, Hoosevelt nnd other
wenlthy families. She saved the money
sh" earned. 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."
Dr. Vail desired to publicly announce
the gift at a prayer meeting. "Sny
nothing about It; just sing the Dox
ology," said tho donor, nnd when It was
sung at the meeting only a few of
those present knevA'of Its special slz
nl flea nee.
"I want no public mention made of
this matter," said Miss Jones to me
jesterdny. "I am a plain, old-fashioned
old maid. My sisters and I always
Intended thnt the property we had
should go bacK to God, who gave It. I
am simply carrying out tho programme
that was made long ago."

A correspondent wonders where tho fa
mous Welsh Library of tho Rov. Moses
Williams, F.R.S., Is now. Moses Williams
took an active part In the collation of
Wootton's edition of tho Laws of Hywel
Dda, Ho was a scholar of great repute, a
native of tho parish of Cellan, In Cardi
ganshire, and at his death, ail his books
and manuscripts went to tho Earl ot
Mncclestleld,
Dr. Joseph Parry hits been Invited to or
ganize a. 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."
