Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets Free
Gluttony is as vile a sin as drunk
enness and its evil results aro more
terrible and far more rapid. The hu
man system turns into the stomach
and alimentary canal from 7 to 35
pounds of digestive fluid every twenty
four hours. Cram your stomach with
food and you exhaust these juices. If
your stomach cannot digest the food
because it lacks juices to do it with,
you should either eat less or make
more gastric fluids.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
ingredients one grain of which will di
gest 3,000 grains of food. With Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets in your stom
ach the evil effects of overeating are
removed, for these little tablets when
dissolved stick to the food and digest
all the good from it. They won't
abandon the stomach and leave a mass
of decaying undigested food to put
rify and irritate the mucous mem
brane lining. They give greater quan
tities of gastric fluid, help the Intest
ines enrich the blood, prevent consti
pation and gluttony, while sinful,
may yet be made less harmful by the
use of these tablets.
Every druggist carries them In
stock; price 50 cents per box, or send

will send you a trial package free by

Important Conference to

Special to The Telegraph
Milwaukee, Wis., llec. 20 A study
of lake transportation problems dis
closes that to-day's conferences be
tween George Sehroeder, representing
tlie Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce,
with officials of the New York Central,
Erie, Lehigh Valley and Pennsylvania
roads in New York, will be one of the
most important traffic conferences in
years.
The lake steamship fleets of these
four roads at the beginning of last sea
son totaled 36 ships, valued at from
$200,000 to $500,000 each. These ships
are now useless to the roads except for
sale and to buy them the proposed new
corporation of Western shippers would
have to pay well toward $0,000,000.
Some of the fleet have been sent to the
Atlantic, but most of them are too

Wash the poisons and toxins

Says inside-bathing makes any
one look and feel clean,
sweet and refreshed.
Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on tlie outside.
This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impuni
ties into the blood, causing illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be car
ried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons, Bases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through tlie lymph ducts
which should suck only nourishment
to sustain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it,
which is a harmless way to wash these
poisons, gases and toxins from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels;
thus cleansing, sweetening and fresh
ening the entire alimentary canal be
fore putting more food into the stom
ach.
A quarter pound of limestone phos
phate costß but very little at the drug
store but in sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men

wake up with a dull, aching head or

PLEA FOR GIRLS
BY IDA TARBELL
Famous Writer Scores High
School Education; Taught
Nothing Useful
Special to the Telegraph
Scranton, Pa., Dec. 29. —With an
attendance of more than 1800 school
teachers from all parts of the State
and several hundred from Scranton,
the 661h annual convention of the
Pennsylvania State Educational As
sociation opened here yesterday aft
ernoon in the auditorium of the Cen
tral High school.
Of the three addresses on the aft
ernoon program that of Mus Ida Tar
bell on "Give the Girl a Chance" was
by far the most interesting. It was
a plea for the proper education of the
girl and for training that would en
able her to take the place in life
which she is expected to take. Miss
Tarbell severely criticized the present
high school education for girls, say
ing that if Bhe was a young man
looking for a wife she would much
rather take a mill girl than one from
the high school. Her main reason
for this conclusion was that the girl
in the mill was better trained, that,
the high school girl was humored by
her parents, was not used to discipline
and was taught nothing, either at
home or school, that would fit her for
wifehood. "Marriage Js a business
partnership," said Miss Tarbell, "and
wifehood is an economic job.
"The girl's greatest task when she
marries is that of a purchasing agent,
and if most manufacturers and busi
nessmen purchased the way the
average girl does, they would soon be
bankrupt."
Girls to-day. declared Miss Tarbell,
do not receive the proper training,
either at home or in school, to tit them
for marriage.

MUSCULAR BACKACHE
The muscles of the back do the
heavy work of the body. When they
are overworked or 111 nourished thoy
ache and people who are looking for
trouble begin to worry about their
kidneys.
Backache may be due to lumbago,
which is rheumatism of the muscles
of the back, but more backaches Rre
caused by overstrain, overwork and
muscle starvation due to thin blood
than by anything else.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills build up
the blood and sufferers from backache
would do well to try this treatment
before giving way to worry over a
fancied organic disease. Rest and the
tonic treatment with Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills will correct most forms of
backache, even rheumatic.
For people who work too hard or
dance too much and sleep too little,
better habits and a course of treat
ment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
are all that are needed to drive away
the pains and aches that are warn
ings of a coming breakdown.
Two books, "Building Up the
Blood" and "Nervous Disorders" will
be sent free. If you are Interested, by
the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y. You can get Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills at the nearest

THE NEWEST REMEDY FOR
Backache, Rheumatism and Dropsy
Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid
troubles bring misery to many. When
the kidneys are weak or diseased,
these natural filters do not cleanse
the blood sufficiently, and the poisons
are carried to all parts of the body.
There follow depression, aches and
pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irrita
bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu
matism. In some people there are
sharp pains in the back and loins,
distressing bladder disorders and
sometimes obstinate dropsy. The uric
acid sometimes forms into gravel or
kidney stones. When the uric acid
affects the muscles and joints, it
causes lumbago, rheumatism, gout
or sciatica. Write Dr. Pierce at once,
send 10 cents for large trial pack
age, or 50 cents for full treatment of
"Anuric" or ask your druggist for it.
During digestion uric acid is ab
sorbed into the system from meat
eaten, and even from some vegetables.
The poor kidneys get tired and back
ache begins. This is a good time to

take "Anuric," the new discovery of
Dr. Pierce for Kidney trouble and
Backache. Neglected kidney trouble
is responsible for many deaths, and
Insurance Company examining doc
tors always test the water of an ap
plicant before a policy will be issued.
Have you ever set aside a bottle of
water for twenty-four hours? A heavy
sediment or settling sometimes indi
cates kidney trouble. The true na
ture and character of diseases, espe
cially those of the kidneys, and urin
ary organs, can often be determined
by a careful chemical analysis and
microscopical examination —this is
done by expert chemists of the Medi
cal Staff of tho Invalids" Hotel. If
you wish to know your conditions send
a sample of your water to Doctor
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. V ..
and describe your symptoms. It will
be examined without any expense to
you, and Doctor Pierce or his Staff
of Assisting Physicians will inform
you truthfully.—Advertisement.
