Is of Little Benefit Ulricas It la Digested. Nearly everyone will admit that na n nation we cat too much meat nnd' too little of vegetables nnd the grains, For business men oluce men and olerlti', and In fact everyone engaged In sedentary or Indoor occupations, grains, milk nnd vegetables are much more healthful. Only men engaged In severe, out door manual labor can'llvo on a heavy meat diet and continue In health, As a general rule, meat once a day Is sulilelent for nil classes of men, women and children, and grains, fruit and vegetables should constitute tho bulk of food eaten. But many of tho most nutritious foods are dilllcult of digestion, and it Is no use to advise brain workers to eat largely of grains and vegetables where the digestion Is too weak to as similate thcin properly. It is always best to get the best re sults from our food that some simple and harmless digestive should bo taken after meals to assist ihe relaxed di gestive organs, and several years ex perience have proven Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablets to bo a very safe, pleasant and effective digestive and a remedy which may be taken dally with the best results. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly be 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 weak stomachs lack, pepsin diastase, and by stimulating tho gastric glands increase tho natural secretion of hydrochloric acid. People who make a daily practice of taking 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 Injurious habit as tho tablets contain absolutely nothing but natural diges tives; cocaine, morphine and similar drugs have no place In a stomach medi cine, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are certainly the best known and most popular of all stomach remedies. Aide your druggist for a fifty cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and after a week's use note tho Im provement in health, appetite and nerv ous energy. in a few days, to join her husband at Norristown. Sirs. E. D. Bovard Is In Pittsburg, where she went to attend the funeral of a l-elatlvo. Miss Lena Slowcry is suffering from an attack of quinsy, at her home on Blakelv street. SOUTH SCRANTON NOTES.

Attorney James Lownsdnle was a self-centered man. That Is apt to be the case with self-made men. It Is, to be more frank, their besotting sin. He had begun Ufc poor. He was win ning in the racCbecausc his handi caps were offset by grim and somewhat unlovely determination. When he was sixteen years old ho bad heard boys of seventeen discourse on love, and be had said in a shrill, boyish treble: "I'll never let sentiment stand in the way ot my success." Even after his voice had undergone tho transformation from that shrill treble to a profund bass, bo bold to bis determination. Now ho was 3S and he "was talked of" for Judge of the Supremo court In bis state. For five years lie had been giving his legal udviee free to Sirs. Mary Slar ston and her daughter, Mildred. They bad needed such advice sorely, for when the vice president of the Commercial bank died it was found that the affairs of the bank were in a precarious con dition. Ten days after his death tho bank failed. James Lownsdalc called to condole with tho widow and her daughter, and had offered to do what ho could to make Intact ugaln the shat tered fabric of their fortune. He had no idea of how great the task was, and ho found himself knitting together a few shreds instead of a mass. Ho dis liked his task of telling her so, but ho found courage to tell her one night that one might live upon the Income of the slight' remnant of their fortune; it might support one with rigid economy. But two? That was impossible. Slildred Slarston slipped a comforting arm on her mother's neck. "That will provide for you, mamma, dear," she said. "And I've gotten a position at a living salary with a pub lishing house." James Lownsdalc looked at her at tentively for the first time. One of tho characteristics of self-centered persons is that they are short-sighted. He had known the banker's family ever since he left college, but he had never no ticed that Slildred had grown up. She was a tall beauty, of the Irish type, with black hair and violet eyes that might have laughed at one time, but looked as though they never would again. James Lowns'dale called often that winter. Perhaps his purpose was to lighten the loneliness of the two wo men, but if he permitted himself such unselfishness he was compensated. He found It very pleasant to sit opposite Slildred at the fire and watch her deft bands at her embroidery or sewing. "You make me very comfortable,"' he said, smiling lazy thanks as she pushed a hassock toward him. She applied herself diligently to hem ming n tablecloth. "I like this," he reflected aloud. It's so domestic." Slildred blushed. She never talked much. Lownsdnle hud a fancy for Utiiet women. "I lovo you," ho said, pushing the tablecloth from her lap and taking both the busy hands. Again she said nothing. Sho blushed furiously, and there were tears In her eyes, but th"re was hapiness In them, nevertheless. "I love you, hut I have my way to make still, I have no right to talk of marriage yet." Slildred was satisfied. There was a soporific influence In those familiar but delightful words, "I lovo you." Lownsdnle did not think It necessary to repeat those words. "When u man tells a woman once Unit ho loves her that is enough,"- he said. So life went on as before, Ho it befell that Mlldrc'd Slarston was often lonely. Her mind became the stalking ground of doubt and re sentment. Her business life was a narrow one, Into which few strangers entered, Her old friends had drifted out of her life, Sho met almost no one. That may be the reason that" no one else found place lu this sore heart, which was almost as easy of access as an empty one. AVhen midsummer came and with It Slildred'H vacation she bade I.owns dttle n rather formal "good-bye," and said she was taking her mother to tho homo of an old friend, one of her few friends of their prosperity who re mained, Accordingly, when I.ownsdalo wus strolling along tho beach at an almost unknown seaside resort, ho was sur prised to seo n graceful, rather weary llguro leaning against u rock. Sud denly It dropped Its head Into tin broad lap of u burly woman servant and began to weep teiuptestuously. He nuido hurried excuses to his enm paulim, Judge Soiners, and hastened back "Slildred!" he exclaimed. Tho llguro straightened Instantly and tried to look formal nnd dignified, but its lips quivered us n child's, "You, too, Slagglo?" ho said to Slll dred's nurse, tho only servant left of what hud been called Slnrston's re tinue. "Yes," said Muggle, looking at him with marked disfavor. .Suddenly he remembered that Slug gle had looked ut him lu the same way for two years, only ho "had not no ticed." "It Is getting chilly; will you go up to tho house and get Sllss Slarston's wrap?" ho said. Slagglo went away frowning. When she hud gono Lownsdalo took the trem bling llguro Into his urms. 'How do you happen to be hero, Mil dred?" he said tenderly. AMUSEMENTS, BEST IN THE WORLD. Fowoll's Lyceum Theatre if. licit?. l,ctMo ml Jlan.iRer. A. J. IHTt'V, Business 'Manager.
