Don't Pamper
Your Stomach
Pear of Dyspepsia Robs the Entire
System of Necessary Nutriment.
Eat a Diversified Meal and
With Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets You Will Avoid the
Distress of Indigestion.
Just because the stomach sours
with gassiness, heartburn, water
brash and such distresses after eat
ing, is not a good reason for de
priving the syst/m of nourishment.
Instead of indigestible and innu
tritious brain and skim milk try the
better plan of eating what you like
and follow your meals with Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. They digest
food, they assist, the stomach to se
crete juices that keep the stomach
sweet, active and with the alkaline
effect, just as when the stomach is
in perfect health. Nor is it neces
sary to discriminate. You may eat
freely of onions, sausage, mince pie
and baked beans, or other dishes,
such as the average dyspeptic views
with horror, and suffer no distress
if you follow with Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets. Tliere is thus no need
to fear any kind of food at any
time or place, for with these tablets
you may prevent those distresses
that formerly made you pamper
your stomach as if it were a tender
infant. You can get Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets in any drugstore at
60 cents a box.

allowing food to ferment in the intestines. Don't give the

The kidneys and bladder suffer from the wear and tear,
sand we get chronic inflammations sometimes indicated by
backache, painful voiding of water—dull, heavy feelings.
Perhaps the uric acid is stored up in the system in excessive
[amount, and consequently when the urate salts are depos
ited in muscles and joints one suffers from lumbago (pain
5n back), rheumatic pains, gout, etc.
Nothing will act so nicely as "Anuria" (anti-uric-acid),

NEWS OF ST EE ETON
Boy Scout Council
Holds Annual Election
The annual meeting for the elec
tion of officers of the Steelton Coun
cil Boy Scouts of America -will be
held to-morrow evening in the con
ference room of the Bethlehem Steel
Company offices. The present offi
cers were choeen at the time of the
formation of the council several
months ago.
Plans will be discussed for bring
ing about a greater spirit of co-op
eration among the troops. The ac
tivities of the troops are to be di
rected from a common head, and
funds for the carrying on of the
various activities are to be secured
by subscription and handled by the
council treasurer. The present treas
urer is M. M. Cusack. Subscriptions
are now being received by the treas
urer towards a fund to secure suffi
cient campaign equipment to take
care of the increased number of
boys that will want to go camping
next year. Seventy-seven boys were
camping last year. At least double
that number are expected next year.
The camping trip was given the
boys at the nominal fee of two dol
lars for the entire period. This, of
course, entitled some loss to the
council.
There will probably be made an
attempt to educate the public to
the knowledge of what the Scout
movement really is. That there is
great ignorance on the subject has
been amply proved. Some means will
probably be discussed to-morrow
night to show that the movement
is really one that will make real
men out of real boys, a movement
not designed with military ideas, but
one that leads boys to greater at
tempts to fulfill their duty to them
selves, their country, and their God.

Many Expected to Attend
Lecture and Banquet
The "Pulpit Club" of Monu
mental A. M. E. Church will have
its lecture and banquet to-morrow
evening. A committee of over sixty
members is busy making prepara
tions for the event. Dr. J. Albert
Sterrett will lecture on "The Street
in Heaven Upon Which the Colored
People Live."
This is reputed to be one of the
most humorous discourses of the
times and in view of Dr. Sterrett's
popularity with all who know him
a great time is expected. C. A. Mc-
Pharland, president of the club, an
nounced that three large commit
tees are arranging for a novel ban
quet to be held in the lecture room
after the discourse.
It is recalled that Dr. Sterrett was
selected by the colored citizens of
the State of Delaware four years
ago to make a speech before the
Delaware Legislature in protest
against the proposed "Jim Crow"
law. His manner and method of de
livery was so appealing to the mem
bers of the Delaware Assembly that
the bill was never reported out by
the committee.
Teachers Resign by
Reason of Illness
At the meeting of the School
Board held last evening the resigna
tions of Miss Edith Steese and Miss
Edith Shelley were received and ac
cepted. Both resignations were
caused by ill health.
Miss Myrtle E. Lee was chosen to
fill the vacancy caused by the resig
nation of Miss Shelley.

"Yes, there's a real NINTY-NINE

gist in a prosperous Kentucky city.
"But I don't ixpect anyone to be
lieve me, becuuse the treatment is so

"The annual crop of hay-fever jokes
would be mighty scarce if people
would get an ounce of Mentholized
Arelne and by Just adding water that
has been boiled nuike a pint of liquid
that will prove a real help to all who
suffer."
"Many of my hay-fever friends tell
me that by starting to gargle and
■luff or spray the nostrils a few times
g day the expected severe attack often
falls to appear and in cases where it
does show up is very mild and does
not annoy."
"The Better Class of Pharmacists"

It will greatly modify any attack even

hostilities begin.
