Macartney of St. Louis, "and today, after five months of hard service I fail to notice Any real signs of wear on them." This statement points the way to real economy in shoes. What your shoes cost, by the year, depends largely on how the soles wear and Neolin Soles do wear a very long time.

Sho then played In Finland and In Sweden. She subsequently became associated with Ranft in sir James Barrio's "Quality Street." Lavendan's "Catherine, Bernard Shaw s "You Never Can Toll" and M. Donnay's "I.'Autre Danger. It may be remembered that she first came to New York from London, sent by Sir George Alexander to the lato Charles Frohman to play Renee de Rould, the leading feminine rolo In "The Attack," with John Mason. In this | play Miss Hedman literally listened herself into prominence. Her part was one of few lines to speak, but she was required to be on the stage throughout most of the action in the play. All she had to do was to listen, which is generally conceded among players to be the hardest thing to do on the stage. Later she appeared here in R. C. Carton's "Liberty Hall" and Augustus Thomas' "Indian Summer." Miss Hedman subsequently went to London, where she appeared with Sir George Alexander in "The Attack," which had been a failure in New York. The play was a great success in London, where Miss Hedman appeared in it with Sir George Alexander for over a year. She then appeared in Alfred Sutro's "The Two Virtues," in which E. H. Sotheru appeared! in this country. Miss Hedman has appeared in various successes since her return to this country and dur ing the past three years has been starred by David Belasco in Wtnchell Smith and Victor Mapes" comedy, "The Boomerang."

They prefer to crawl into some by-place for a dyspeptic's plate of molly coddle. Business men often resort to this form of weakness under the belief they can work better. But it isn't what you eat but what you digest that counts. Some stomachs can't digest even a glass of milk. So they simply keep on feeding dyspepsia and get gas. water brash, sour risings and so on that the better informed and hearty eaters entirely avoid. This they do by using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Many physicians prescribe them for indigestion, dyspepsia and other digestive disorders. They are sold at every drug store, everywhere, price 50 cents a box. .
