When You Smell the
Good Food Csoking
And It Makes You Sick It Is a
Sure Sign That You Need
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
It Is time to pay attention to your
stomach when the sight or the smell of
food makes you sick, for were this not
the fact the stomach would not cause
such disgust upon the par. of the
sense of smell and taste when meal
time comes around.
All the world has to eat. You men
who walk to your meals like you do to
a drug store for medicine, should at
onpe realize that there is a relief for
you. This relief is Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Eiffel
\\
The Dyspeptic: "How can a man live
In a smell like that?"
Taste, sight and smell all have an
influence upon digestion. If one eats
something that does not taste good
one retards the work of digestion be
cause the juices necessary to digest the
things eaten will not flow in correct
proportion.
On the other hand, good, food will
always excite the taste through ac
tual contact with the food in the
mouth or through the sight or sense
of smell, unless the stomach knows
that it cannot digest it.
We thus readily learn that the
simple act of giving nature the diges
tive fluids she needs, will bring back
all the joys of good eating, and tast
ing, smelling and seeing dainty dishes
will excite a rousing appetite.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are com
posed of natural ingredients that a
worn out digestion simply welcomes
with a wild delight. They enrich the
stomach Juices quickly so that if you
want to eat an out-of-the-ordinary
after-the-theater sort of a dinner, just
carry a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet in
your pocket, take it after the meal and
you will digest that meal.
Your druggist will supply you with
a box no matter where you live. Price
50 cents. —Advertisement.

"BREWSTER'S MILLIONS"
To spend a million in a year is the
task of "Monty Thompson," and the
many ways in which he tries to do so
will be shown when "Brewster's Mil

Theater to-day. matinee and night, for
the first time at popular prices, A new
production has been especially pre
pared for this season's tour, the scenlo
equipment will be elaborate and com
plete, the same as that shown during
Its long run in New York and Chi
cago. The company In suport of Louis
Nilsen Is practically the same splendid
organization that assisted In winning
success and fame for the McCutcheon
play during the last season.—Adver
tisement.
"WHERE THE TRAIL DIVIDES"
A play that fairly breathes the spirit
of the West and which tells a beauti
ful love story in a picturesque setting
is "Where the Trail Divides." which
will be the attraction at the Majestio
Theater for three days, Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday, with a matinee dally.
Robert Edeson, whose "Strongheart"
was considered the greatest characteri
zation of the American Indian ever pre
sented on the American stage. Is the
author of the play, and he created the
part of "How Lander," an educated
Sioux Indian, around whom the story
of the play centers.—Advertisement.
MRS. FISKH)
Mrs. Fiske and the Manhattan eom
pany in "Mrs. Dumpstead-Leigh," Is the
attraction announced for Thursday,
February 19, at the Majestic Theater
The play Is a comedy of the most
ludicrous type, something that at flrst
blush would appear to be about as for
eign to Mrs. Flske as anything could be.
Considering the wide range of plays in
which she has appeared, one would
be puzzled to think of a type In which
her remarkable gifts had not already
been exploited, but the surprises of
"Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh," both as re
gards the play and her characterization,
are among the chief delights.—Adver
tisement.
"ON THE EDGE OF THINGS"
There are those who will go to the
Orpheum this week and be more pleas
ed with Homer Miles and companv in
"On the Edge of Things" than they
will with the fine western novelty
novelty called "Cheyenne Days." It, of
course, Is a matter of opinion. The com
edy drama called "On the Edge of
Things" has Itß scene laid on a house
top, but that doesn't mean that any
body's going to fall over Its edge. It
might Just as well be called "Things
Nearly Happening." that would at least
be more expressive, for If It wouldn't
be that the good, simple-natured jani
tor comes along just In the "nick" of
time, a sweet young girl would have
eloped with a worthless youth. The
youth Is a young married man In a
building adjoining the girl's home, but
in crowded New York, the girl does
not know he Is married. The "Janitor"
of the two buildings knows both and
his methods of interference must be
seen to be appreciated. Mr. Miles as
the "Janitor" Is easily the star of the
piece. He plays the character with
ease and handles some bright linns that
Include much effective slang. The set
ting Is realistic and adequate and the
cast of players well selected. Bessie
Kyle and Harry Richards, in a breezy
skit with good songs, and Meredith and
"Snoozer," the latter an educated bull
dog that Is really wonderful, are some
of the other pleasing turns.—Advertise
ment.
AT THE COLONIAL
Another week has rolled around and
acordingly we are again due for a night
of laughs at the Busy Corner. In con
nection with to-night's performances
we are to see some new amateur per
formers and also witness the "greased
pole" contest. Homo good local talent
has been secured. The Colonial's bill
with the Mendelssohn Four, a singing
comedienne, and a song, dance and
comedy trio, is pleasing good-sized au
diences immensely.—Advertisement.
nOLOISTOF
MARKET HOUSE
[Continued from First Page.]
the boyhood days when you wandered
through the wood looking for sweet
inyrrh and slippery elm.
Raber has spent the past thirty-odd
years looking for herbs and roots in
the mountains. He first took an in
terest in finding strange wild plants
when as the first nurse at the Harrls
burg Hospital in 1873 the doctors on
the staff at the time told him about
the use of herbs in medicine. Raber
was reared in the countrv and knew
the woods when he began his studies.
As he says, "I learned from the bookB."
His method when he finds a plant he
doesn't recognize is to mark the spot
and return home for his botany book.
Then with the plant before him he
would find out from the book what it
is called and its use.
Several years ago Raber moved to
this city from his home in the moun
tains near Dauphin. He now lives at
446 Boyd street. In the Fall he goes
into the mountains for days at a time,
searching for the teas and herbs which
he sells at his stall in the market. He
says he collects from thirteen to four
teen thousand bunches of herbs and
teas every Fall. These he places in
drying rooms at his home and twice a
week he displays them on his stall at
the market.
If you show interest, Mr. Raber will
tell you what all these herbs are used
for. He knows them, too, for he
passed an examination in "herbology"
before a college of physicians at one
time, he tells you. He speaks bitterly
of the fellows who sell the teas and
herbs without knowing what they a're
good for.
"A license should be required of
all those who hunt and sell herbs,"
he says. "You don't know what you
are buying from them and they don't
know what they sell. It may be
poison."
Spread before him and hanging be
hind him are bunches of sage, sassa
fras, wild cherry bark, spigner (for
the cold), white mountain willow,
pearl maple, golden thread (worth $55
a pound), slippery elm, catnip, sarsa
parilla, Iron root (for the blood) and
scores more which he has about him
in cans and bottles, and for which he
has a name and a use.
He tells of offers given him by drug
gists and patent medicine men to
make medicine for them and put water
in it to make money. He says he
always refused. "I believe that'these
herbs are for everybody, and I only
ask a price to pay me for the trouble
in finding them."
And, as you leave these February
days, the quaint old man will press on
you a root which is a sure cure for
a cold.

two-stepping to school as it is for a
'foremost citizen' to strut as he goes
to his office," he added.
Dr. McCuaig said there is a sexual
vibration in all contact of the male
md female and this contact may be
through tho eyes, the handshake or
the voice.
"The danger lies not in the contact,"
he said, "nor in the vibration which
results, but in the accentuation of
them as in the modern dances. A girl
or boy rightly taught would be in i>o
danger, as these extremes would have
no attraction for them."
He spoke of the folk dances and
expressed his belief that, these old
fashioned. healthful dances might be
the solution to the dance problem of
to-day. In speaking of the mother's
care of her daughter he warned the
mother against teaching the girl to
dress so that the growing charms of
body are accentuated.
"I cannot conceive," he admonished,
"how a mother can so dress her
daughter that she is a lure to men and
an Incitement to their worst passions."
He told the mothers that they should
try to develop in their daughters the
home instinct. "The girl should be
taught that motherhood is the crown
ing glory and blessing of life and that
homemaking and housekeeping are
tho greatest achievements of woman
hood," said Dr. McCuaig.
He declared in conclusion that
mawkish love stories and emotional
plays dealing with the "social tri
angle" are most dangerous, as they
give girls untrue Ideas of life and
cannot help Jiut warp their vision as
to social realities, and that the prac
tice of allowing young girls to be on
the streets after night is extremely
dangerous.
To-night Dr. McCuaig will lecture
on "The Voice of God" and to-morrow
afternoon he will talk on "Heredity."
