Is of Little Benefit Unless It Is Di gested. Nearly every one will admit, that as a nation we oat too much meat and too little or vegetables and the grains, Fur btiHlin.Krf men, otllce men ami cterliM, anil In fact every one engaged In sedentary nl- Indoor occupations, grains, milk and vegetables tire much inoi-o heallhftll, Only men engaged hi a severe nut door manual labor can live on n heavy meat diet and continue In health, As n general rule, meat once a day Is stiillelenl for nil classes of men, wo men and children, antl grains', fruit and vegetables should constitute the bulk of food eaten. Hut many of the mtittf nutritious foods are dllllctilt of digestion antl It Is of no use to ndvts'! brain workers to eat largely of grains ami vegetables wheio the digestion Is too weak to as similate them properly. It Is always best to got the best re sults from our food that some simple and harmless digestive should betaken after meals to assist the relaxed diges tive organs, antl several years experi ence have proven Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to be n very safe, pleasant and effective digestive and a remedy which may bo taken dally with the best re sults, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hard ly bo called a patent medicine, as they do not act on the bowels nor any par ticular organ, but only on the food eaten, They supply what Aveak stom achs lack, pepsin diastase, and by stimulating the gastric glands Increase th" natural secretion of hydrochloric, acid. People who have made a dally prac tice of talcing one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia. Tablets after each meal are sure to have perfect digestion, which means perfect health. There Is no danger of forming an In jurious habit, as the tablets contain nbsdutoiy nothing but natural diges tives; cocaine, morphine and similar drugs have no place in a stomach medi cine and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets arc certainly the best known and most popular of all stomach remedies. Ask your druggist for a fifty-cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and after a week's use note the Im provement in health, appetite and ner vous energy. CASE WAS CONTINUED.

Committee of the Legislature and Presented the Claims of Local In stitutions for Consideration E. L. Fuller and James P. Dickson Urged That the Lackawanna Bo Made a State Hospital Showed the Great Need for Such Action. At the meeting of the appropriations commltlco ot the legislature hold Wed nesday night at Harrlsburg, 13. L. Ful ler ami James P. Dlckton appeared In the Interest!! of the Lackawanna hospital: Colonel 11. Jf. "Poles and Dr. Jt. K. Ware for the Hahnemann hos pital: Colonel E. It. Ripple and Hon. If. A. Knnpp, for tho Homo for the Krlcndlesit, and Henry Helln, Jr.. tho Pennsylvania Oral school. Colonel Itlpplo also looked after tho interests, of St. Joseph's Foundling Home. M. L. .Fuller was soon by a Tribune representative yesterday on his re turn to this city. He was very enthus iastic regarding the future ot the hos pital and is sanguine that the wishes of a vast number of citizens will b considered nnd that It will be made a Elate Institution. Tfo had a most aat isfni.'tory conference with Governor Stone, who Is understood as being strongly In favor of the proposed change. From others It has been learned that the appeal ot Mr. Fuller and Sir. Dickson made a. most, favor able Impression on tho committee. ONLY TWO HOSPITALS. It was thowii that there are but two state hospitals in the anthracite re gion, while eight are supported In the bituminous district. Thtse two are at Ashland nnd Huzleton, thus leaving the northern field unprovided for by other than spasmodic stato aid. The pro posed district embraced by tho Lacka wanna hcf.pital will include the four counties of Lackawanna. Wayne, Sus quehanna and Wyoming-, representing a population of tiOO.OOn. Including if.000 workltigmcr. and voters. A mote unusual circumstance een nected with this change in relations Is that the Lackawanna hospital does not ask the state to assume any vestige o" debt. On the contrary, the indebt edness to the amount of between $20. 000 and $S0.O00 Is assumed by the pres ent management, by whom it will be paid. In oilier words, the state Is pre sented with a magnificent property whose actual value is more than $200, ocn. The main point to be emphafized In this matter is that it Is essentially a mlia-rs' hospital, as Sfi per cent, of the sick and Injured come from the miners' home. ASKED THIS REASOX. Mi'. Fuller wps asked by the com mittee why this appeal was made at. this particular time and he promptly explained that the hospital lecelved its chief support from the individual oper ators, and since they have been bought out by the great carrying companies it. leaves a. weakened local Interest to look after the needs of the poor miner and his family. The heads of the largo corporations are not residents of Scran ton. "When approached fop contribu tions to local charities they say: "Wo pay vast sums In taxes to the dato of Pennsylvania. Tt is well able through v. hat it receives from us to support Its charities." The daily a vet age number of patients cared for at the Lackawanna hospital during the fiscal year ending 'March 31, 1900, was M. The wards at present aio overcrowd ed, S6 beds being' filled nnd the direc tors' room even being occupied. The r.ceds of the institution arc- Imperative and lu no way car. such aid be ren dered as Ir. the future conducting of the hospital under state auspices. Cheap Rates to California. Parlies desiring to make trip to Cali fornia. Arizona, or New Mexico, either for business or pleasure, can do so now at almost half price. Every Tuesday, until April SOtli, In clusive, tickets marked "Colonist" may be purchased via Southern Hallway for $14.00 from "Washington, S4f.."0 from Philadelphia, and correspondingly low prices from other points. The Southern Railway and Southern Pacific; company operate through ex cursion sleepers from Washington, leaving Mondays, Tuesdays and Fri days, the Tuesday sleeper being avail able for "Colonist" tickets, The berth rate In these sleepers is only $7.00, two people being allowed to occupy ono berth If desired. Personal conductors and Pullman porters go through with each sleeper. There are other new, convenient and economical features connected with these excursions which may bo ascertained from Charles L.
