You think it is because
your child is "growing too
fast " that he fails to put on
flesh. More often it is
due to a gradual and general
weakening of all the forces
of the body. The child
may have no pain, may have
a fair appetite and yet lose
flesh. Perhaps the happiest
effects of Scott's Emulsion
are in such cases as these.
It gives the body a fat which
is easily taken up ; alters
unhealthy action and sup
plies the best blood-making
food known to medical
science.

FOR. EST CITY.
The entertainment given in the

scholars of tho Forest City graded

performances that has been seen here
in some time. The Hist number on tho
piogrnmme was a boys' operetta by
pupils from Miss Anna Thomas' room.
The title wus "Vocal Skill of the
Frogs." The production consisted of
solos and choruses and the perform
ers were dressed in the appropriate
green costume. The girls' operetta fol
lowed; title, "Tho Busy Bees." The
pupils were from Miss Riley's room,
and their work elicited much applause.
Miss Lizzie Davles' scholars gave an
operetta entitled "The Birds," which
was entertaining and showed careful
drilling. Tho primary good night song
as rendered by Miss Stella Allen's
pupils, was the hit of the evening,
although the participants were little
girls of from C to 8 yenrs old. The
young ladles' operetta, "Tho Flowers,"
consisted of quaptetts, duets and
choruses. Those who took part in this
number were scholars from Miss Cora

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A i'lensmit, Simula' but Safe nnd Ufc
fcctual Curo for It.
Catarrh of the Btomnch has long been
considered tlie next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat
ing sensation after eating, accompan
ied sometimes with sour or watery ris
ings, a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and
difficult breathlng-.heatlaches, fickle ap
petite, nervousness und a general
played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul tasto in the
mouth, coated tongue and If the Inter
ior of tho stomnch could be seen it
would show a slimy, inflamed condi
tion. The cure for this common and obsti
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes tho food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and lrrltato the .delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure a prompt nnd healthy digestion
is tho one necessary thing to do and
when normal condition will have dis
appeared. According to Dr. Harlanson the saf
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal n tablet, composed of Dias
tase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Gol
den Seal and fruit acids. These tablets
can now lie found at nil urug siorca
under the namo of S.tuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and not being a patent medi
cine can be used with perfect Bafety
and assurance that healthy appetite
nnd thorough digestion will follow
their regular use after meals.
Mr. N. J. Ifooher, of 2710 Dearborn
St., Chicago, 111., writes: "Catarrh is a
local condition resulting from a ne
glected cold In tlie head, whereby the
lining membrane of tho nose becomes
inflamed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom passing backward into tho
throat reaches tho stomach, thus pro
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medi
cal authorities prescribed for me for
three years for catarrh of stomach
without cure, but today I am tho hap
piest of men after using only one box
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I can
not find appropriate words to express
my good feeling. I have found flesh,
appetite nnd sound rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is tlie
safest preparation as well as the
simplest and most convenient remedy
for nny form of indigestion, catarrh of
stomach, biliousness, sour stomach,
heartburn and bloating after meals.
Send for little book, mailed free on
stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart
Co., Marshall, Mich. The tablets can
be found at all drug stores.
girls, Mctu. Peterson, Owen Harris nnd
Daisy Hell. "The Pilots' iStory" was
well recited by Miss Stella Davles, and
"The Gypsies' Festival," a very enjoy
able production of solos and chor
uses, was by pupils in Miss Dunning's
room. The entertnlnment was con
cluded by a very laughable drama,
"The Sweet Family," In which tho
dramatis personac were the following
pupils In Professor Thorpe's room:
Misses Stella Stephens, Martha Grif
fiths, Margaret Evans, Lizzie Hartlng,
Penrl Card, Mamie Hullali, Josle Mar
tin and Abble Thomas. The ouera
house was crowded so that standing
room was at a premium. No less than
1,000 people were present. last night
the graduating exercises took place.
FLOOD AT YATESVILLE.
The Wall of tho Pennsylvania Coal
Company Pond lirenks Away.
Pittston, May 13. At noon today at
Yatesvlllo the front end of the big
pond of tho Pennsylvania. Coal com
pany, from which the water supnly is
secured for the neighboring collieries,
burst.
Tho break at first was about ten
feet wide, but with the rush of water
which immediately followed the break
ing of tho barrier, little by little the
embankment gave way further on both
sides and soon the great body of water
rushed through the aperture at a ter
rific rate, doing a great damage not
only to the surrounding property in
Yatesvlllo, but also to the low prop
erties all along the Cre'ek leading from
Yntesville, past No. 4 shaft, and
through Oregon and the old canal
wharf to the river.
One of the big Ice houses of the
Pittston Ice company, filled with the
year's supply, was carried off by the
mad rush of waters, and several of the
properties along the line of the creek,
especially at the culvert under Rail
road street, Oregon, are flooded.
THE BODY IDENTIFIED.
The Drowned .Mnn Was Michael Clin
ton, of Ilnzlu Street.
From tho Wllkes-Barro Times.
The body of the man who was
drowned in the river yesterday was
last night identified at Doran's mor
gue as that of Michael Clinton, who
resides on Hazle street near Movnl
len. He was a brother of John Clin
ton, tho well known grocer of Ashley
who took charge of tho body. Under
taker Mooney removed it from Doran's
morgue to the late residence of de
ceased. Michael Clinton was about 52 years
of age. Hls wife Is an inmate of the
Danville asylum. No children survive.
For many years he had been switch
tender at South Wllkes-Barre, but had
not been working of late. He owned
two properties on Hazle street and
wns quite comfortably fixed. Ills rela
tives aro as much mystified by the
manner of his death or the cause of it
as anybody. They say he was accus
tomed to walk In hiB sleep a great
deal, and they aro Inclined to believe
that it was while on one of his som
nambullstlo walks that he met death.
They can think of no reason why he
would have wished to end his life.
FOOLED WITH ELECTRICITY.
Albert Cooper, of" Nnnticokc, Dies
from n Shock Heccived.
Nanticokei, May 13. Albert Cooper, a
well-known young man, of 17 years,
of a prominent family, was returning

tric wire, dared him to take hold of

received a shock, which laid him out
insensible, nnd from which ho died a
few minutes later.
An excited crowd gathered and an
inquest is to be held. The family is
overcome with grief, and one of his
sisters has been lying unconscious
