Bonults Sometimes Follow its Excciilvo Use. Common soda Is all right in Its place nnd indispensable In the kitchen and for cooking and washing purposes, but it was never Intended for a medicine, and people who use It ns such will some day regret It. We refer to the common use of soda to relieve lienrtburn or sour stomach, a habit which thousands of people prac tice almost dally, and one which Is fraught with danger; moreover tins soda only gives temporary relief and In tho end the stomach trouble gets worse and worse. Tho soda acts as a mechanical irri tant to the walls of the stomach and bowels nnd cases ore on record where II accumulated In tho intestines, caus ing death by inflammation or periton itis. Dr. Hnrlandson recommends as the safest nnd surest cure for sour stom ach (ncld dyspepsia) an excellent prep aration sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets are large 20 grain loz enges, very pleasant to taste and con tain the natural acids, peptones and digestive elements essentlnl to good digestion, nnd when taken nfter meals they digest the food perfectly and promptly before It has time to ferment, sour and poison the blood and nervous system. Dr. Wuerth states that he Invariably uses Stuart's Dyspesla Tablets in all cases of stomach derangements and finds them a certain cure riot only for sour stomach, but by promptly digest ing the food they create a healthy np petlte, increase flesh and strengthen the action of the heart nnd liver. They are not n cathartic, but Intended only for stomach diseases and weakness and will be ound reliable In any stomnch trouble except cancer of the stomach. All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspesla Tablets at 50 cts. per package. A little book describing all forms of stomach weaknesses nnd their cure mailed free by addressing the Stuart Co. of Marshall, Mich.

HUUIN'S UKVFACE. Grizzly Bear Punished a iUnn Who Persisted iu Stirring Him Up. From tho Detroit Free Press. The town of Medicine Hat, in Asslnl bola, on the Canadian Pacific railroad, had In ISO! nn attraction In the shape of a captive grizzly bear. He was a hungry-looking brute, about the size of an ordinary cow, and was chained to a post In tlie center of a strong log pen. The pen stood beside the tracks, nbout 200 feet from the station, and a recent rainstorm hod made a veritable mudhole of It. The bear was an object of lively In terest and curiosity to the townspeople, but more particularly to passengers of trains which stopped at Medicine Hat to change engines. One duy early In August the east bound overlund pulled In, nnd In a few minutes the occupants of several coaches were viewing the grizzly, who was shuflUng around his quarters, look ing very Innocent and unconcerned. His paws and shaggy gray coat were covered with mud, and bruin was not a thing of beauty, still he appeared contented, and seemed to enjoy being on exhibition. Now, a miscellaneous crowd of men has, ns a rule, at least one Individual in It belonging to the class known as "smnrt Alecks." This gathering was no exception, and the aforementioned per&on soon manifested himself. He began by grunting at the bear, and fol lowed that up by throwing sticks and small stones at him. Falling to excite him by these means he resorted to others. Fixing a handkerchief on a stick he Haunted It In bruin's faco and tickled him on the nose with It, then poked him In the ribs; but, save an occasional growl, the bear did not seem to mind his tormentor. One or two gentlemen now advised the funny man to desists, suggesting thnt his bear ship's patience probably had limits, ignoring the friendly warning, the fel low waxed bolder, and, coming close up to tho pen, thrust an arm In be tween the logs. Then the long-suffering bear saw his opportunity und Im proved it. Suddenly and with startling swiftness he reared on his hind legs until he loomed high above the aston ished man, and then, with a deep growl of anger, lie struck fiercely nt his persecutor. For u breathless sec ond the man stood bereft of the power of motion; then, with u scream of flight, he tried to draw back, but too late. The enormous bear caught his arm In a glancing fashion, shredding his coat nnd shirt sleeves, and scoring several ugly scratches in tho llesh, whllo an avalanch of mud and filth descended on his luckless head, fairly obliterating his features, and thickly smearing the whole upper part of his person. The bear's revenge wns com plete. Swift und sudden justice had been meted out, nnd with shaken nerves nnd ruined clothes the smart man made his way to the train, while some unfeeling men In tho crowd laughed outright, and the grizzly lay down 'With what resembled a sigh or relief, TJie Canadian Paclttc easMountl Has just returned from his St. Louis, Chicago and West ern offices and will now re main at his permanent office in the Old Postofficc Build ing, corner Spruce street and Penu avenue, where he may be consulted from 10 a. in. to 8.30 p. m. The doctor, while in Chicago, had several honors conferred upon him by Medical Colleges there, namely, the titles of Doctor of Philosophy and Bac. of Science in addition to his erland bore that day a man who was not only sadder and wiser, but whose propensity for "stirring up the ani mals" had received n decided shock. 1NTEKESTINU I'KOIII.KM. A most Interesting problem, which will amount to a calamity If It begins to ar rive, has been argued recently by Lord Kelvin, the greatest natural philosopher of tho present age. It Is tho threatened exhaustion of the oxygen In the earth's atmosphere. Bis opinions on the subject are backed by a number of eminent scien tific men, who call attention to the fact that the oxygen of tho air Is now under going depletion at a rate enormously be yond its replenishment by growing plants, nnd these are practically the only oxygen-makers. They sny the plnnt life of the world Is being annihilated at an alarming rato Incidental to tho spread of civilization, and every forest wiped out Is an oxygen factory destroyed. If this be true, and there Is any likelihood of a famine In the vital part of air, It will mean tho speedy extinction of the human race. New Ideas. An Knsy Promise.
