1IOW TO DRINK MILK.
Wliy It Disagrees with Some People.
AVhen ono needs a reviving Htlmu
lant after exhaustion nothing can rival
tho effecto of hot milk sipped slowly.
Homo people say they cannot dlgcBl
mill; and these nro the pooplo who
drink It down quickly, so that the dl
gesUvo acids, In playing around It, form
large curds which glvo trouble before
they can bo absorbed.
Tho right way Is to sip tho milk In
small amounts, so that each mouthful,
as It descends Into tho stomach, Is sur
rounded by tho gastric fluid, and when
the whole glassful Is down the effect Is
that of a spongy mass of curds, In and
out of which tho keen gastric juices
course, speedily doing their work of
turning tho curd Into peptones that the
tissues can take uu.
To make sure of complelo digestion
take ono or two of Stuart's DyBpepsta
Tablets afterwards, as the pepsin and
diastase they contain Increase tho
quantity and clllclency of tho gastric
juices and supply tho natural dlgestlvo
ferments which all weak stomachs
lack.
Miss Anna Folger, n professional
nurse, speaking of tho value of Stuart's
Tablets In convalescence says: "In
adult patients recovering from severe
Illness and especially in children where
milk disagrees, one or two tablets
overcome any dltllculty and seem to
strengthen tho stomach in a remark
ably short time. I myself havo used
them dally for years, when my own
digestion has suffered from tho Irregu
larities and loss of sleep consequent
upon my occupation.
Not only children and invalids but
professional people and others whoso
meals aro necessarily hurried or Irregu
lar will llnd Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
of tho greatest value in keeping up
tho tone and digestive vigor of the
stomach."
They contain tho active digestive fer
ments tho lack of which is really the
only cause of indigestion and stomach
troubles, and tho regular dally uso of
them after meals will probably cure
any case of stomach trouble, except
such us arises from cancer or ulcera
tion. Many druggists have said that they
sell more Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
than all other stomach remedies com
bined. who has been so seriously ill, is con
valescent. Miss Hazel Tobey is entertaining Miss
Nina Notherspoon, of Newark, N. J.

Madeline Clarke Proving a Puzzle to
New York Doctors.
A 19-year-old girl, who has been in
the city since Saturday, so far ns is
known, mid has said that she is Made
lino Church and Madeline Clarke, has
proved a puzzlo to the police, tho char
itable organization authorities who
have charge of her, and tho Bellevue
hospital physicians who put her in tho
insnne pavilion yesterday.
The young woman first told the Belle
vue physicians that her parents had
been dead a year, and sho lived with
an aunt on Franklin street, Scranton,
Penn. Tho aunt died four months ago,
sho said. About a week after that sho
said her mind became a blank, and sho
wandered out, recovering tho next day
and returning home. She said that on
Friday, while walking in Franklin
street, Scranton, she lost ull recollec
tion about who sho was or where sho
was, and she found herself next day in
New York. '
An hour after the young woman told
that story sho fell into a state of coma,
in which she remained about ten min
utes. Then, on awakening, she was
questioned further about the story, and
she astonished tho doctors by absolute
ly denying sho had ever told them any
such tale.
Dr. Gregory, tho insane pavilion ex
pert, and the other doctors, could not
fathom these vagaries. The woman is
in good health, and talks rationally
when she tells a. story. Saturday
morning she called herself Madeline
Clarke, but soon declared her name to
be Madeline Church. A young man
from Scranton called at the hospital,
saying lie knew of a Madeline Clarke
in that city, but he did not know this
girl, and she did not know him.
The patient became hysterical last
night from no apparent reason. No
word has been received from Scranton
authorities about the woman. She
will be kept for several days, and
later may be sent to Blackwcll's island.

SOLD HOUSEHOLD GOODS.
James Butler Held Under Bail on
Charge of Larceny.
James Butler, of West Linden street,
was yesterday arrested at the instance
of John Smith, of Franklin avenue, on
a charge of larceny.
Evidence was adduced at the hearing
before Magistrate Millar to show that
Butler caused the arrest of Smith some
months ago for assault and battery.
Smith was fined by an alderman and
wus committed to jail in default of a
fine imposed.
Smith, it seemed, rented a part of a
house for which Butler is the agent, and
while he was in jail the latter turned
out his wife and children and sold the
household effects. It was for the lar
ceny of these household goods that ho
was arrested. Ho was held under $300
ball for his appearance in court.
