'nff ( WRDNKBDAY, JANtTAIlY G, 1898. THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1J9S. mc$t Side DEPOSIT'S GROWINQ LARdBR. Snvlns I'lnn nt o,10 School Is n Crowing Micoess. Monday Is the regular weekly deposit day for the depositors In Public school No. I'l's bank. Monday, Dec. 27, 107, was a holiday and no deposits could be mad''. Hoveer, Monday, Jan. 3, 1S98, was more than enough to equalize. The deporlts for this day amounted to SJ9.42. This Is the fifth deposit day plnoe the Inrcptlon of the savings bank teatuiu and already nenly ult of the pupils are depositors. The next larg est di posit was the second one amount In to $1S 94. Two reasons might be Inferred why last Monday's deposit was so large. Tbo first la that Santa Claus must have taken note of what the pupils of No. lit were dolus In co-operation with their teaehets and Instead of a toy, or some such Rift, cold cash was substi tuted. Then Benin some of the chil dren may hae decided to save some of their Christmas spending money and deposit it. Kltlicr reason bespp.iks the foothold the Idea has gotten among the chil dren pilmailly and as a consequence the patents. There seems to be left no doubt as to the "deposit" Idea for a two v tilts vacitlon at Christmas is certainly crucial enough so far as a t-st Is require J to determine whether the pupils will save or not.

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA To (lain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know What Appetlto and Cool Dlftestlon Mean, Make a Test of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, Interestlnz Experience of an Indianapolis dentleman. No ttoublo is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia. People having It think that their nerves nro to blame nnd nro surprised that they sre not cured by norvo medicine nnd spring remedies; the reul Bent of the mischief Is lost flight of; the stom ach Is the orgnn to be looked after. Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pnln whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspep sia shows Itself not In tho stomach so much as In neatly every other organ; In sottip cases tho heart palpitates and is Irregular; In others the kldnes are affected; in othcis the bowels nre con stipated, with headaches; still otheis nre troubled with loss of flesh nnd np petite, with nccumulatlon of gas, sour risings nnd heartburn. Mr. A. W. Sharper, of No. 61 Pros pect St., Indianapolis, Ind., writes as follows: "A motive of pure gratitude prompts me to vvilte these few lines regarding the new and valuable medi cine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I have been a sufferer from norvou3 dys pepsia for the last four years; have used various patent medicines and other lemedles without any favorable lesult. They bometlmes gave tempor ary relief until the effects of the medi cine wore off. I attribute this to my sedentary habits, being a bookkeeper with little physical exercise, but I am glad to state that the tablets have overcome all these obstacles, for I have gained In flesh, sleep better and am better In every way. The above Is written not for notoriety, but Is based on actual fact." Respectfully yours, A. W. Sharper, 61 Prospect St., Indianapolis, Ind. It Is safe to say that Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets will cure any stomach weakness or disease except cancer of stomach. They cure sour stomach, gas, loss of tlesh and appetite, sleepless ness, palpitation, heaitburn, constipa tion and headache.

Tho water Is somewhat shallow, I grant that; but there Is no eel grass whatever there and there Is none whatever on the new courso we havo surveyed at New London. Tho water Is not shallow enough there to bother tho crews.

Two oi Them Hnvo Been Instnllcd in tne Postoflice. Two Bundy time recorders, one for cairWs nnd one for clerks, have been placed by the government In the post office. They are manufactured by the Bundy Manufacturing company, of Blnghamton, N. 1'., and will keep tab on tho hours of Uncle Sam's emploj'cs. The carriers' recotder has forty-one sets of four keys each for fortv-one men. Carrier No. 1, for instance, has kevs marked "1," "LI," "Rl and "El." The llrst is used when the carrier re ports for duty, the second when he leaves for his delivery or collection, the third when ho returns, the fourth when he finishes work. When carrier No. 5, aay, leaves for his route he Inserts ky "L5" In the recorder and turns it. A bell rings and "L5" is printed on a white roll of paper tape opposite "10 30 o'clock," or whatever hour at wh'ich the ky was turned. All the keys hang on a board alongside the recoider. Tho Instrument looks like any good large wall clock. It has a dial show ing the time of dav. The ordinary clock mechanism is connected with a contrivance below the pendulum. The lower apparatus makes the record on the tape. The lmpiesslon Is made from the figuies and letters contained on a die on the key. The recorder for the clerks is simpler as it only records the time of duty and departure.. The local postoflice officials have not received final Instructions as to the use of the clucks. It Is known however that tho records made on the rolls of tape .lie to be conled In a book at regular periods, presumably for future reference In case It Is necessary to know whether a clerk or carrier was on duty at a given time and for the use of the executives of the office.
