VERYFEW PEOPLE
Are Free From" Somo Form of Indi
gestion. Very few people arc free from some form of
Indigestion, but scarcely two trill have the same
symutoms. , . , .
otue suffer most diicctly after eating, bloat
fnc from gas in stomach and bowels, others have
heartburn or sour nsiugs, stilt others palp ta
tion of the heart, headaches, sleeplessness, pains
in client and under shoulder blades, sonic huvc
extiemc nervousness, as in nervous dyspepsia.
But whatever the symptoms may be, the cause
in all cases of indigestion is the same, that is.
the stomach, for some reason fails to properly
and promptly digest what is eaten.
This is the whole story of stomach troubles in
a nutshell. The f-lomach must have rest and
ass st nee and Stuart's Dvspepsia Tablets give
.it both by supplying those natural digestives
which every weak ttamach lacks, owing to the
failure of the peptic glands in the stomach to
6ecrete sufficient add and pepsin to thorougly
digest and assimilate the food ea ed.
One gr.iin of the active prihc!plc in Stuatt's
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 3,000 grains of
meat, egs or other wholesome food, and this
claim has been proven by actual experiment,
which anyone can perform for himself in the
following manner: Cut a hard boiled egg into
very small pieces,as it would be if masticated;
place the egg and two or three of the tablets in a
bottle or jar containing warm water healed to 98
degrees (the temperature of the body) and keep
it at (this temperature for thicc and one-half
liours, at (he end of which time the egg will dc
'as completely digested as it would have been in
the healthy stomach of a hungry boy.
The point of this experiment is that what
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do to the egg in
thr bottle it will do the egg or-meat in the stom
ach and nothing else will rest and invigorate
the stomach to afely and effectually, Even a
little child can take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
with safety and benefit if its digestion is weak
and the thousands of cures accomplished by
their regular daily use are easily ex'pla ned when
it is understood that they are composed of veg
etable essences, asej tic, pepsin, diastase and
Golden Seal, which mingle, with the food and
digest it thoroughly, giving the overworked
stomach a'chnnccto recuperate.
Dieting never cures dy,pipia, neither do pills
and cathartic rucdhincs, which simply irritate
and inflame the intestines.
"When enough food is eaten and promptly di
gested there will be no constipat on, nor in fact
will there be d sease of any kind because good
digestion means good health in every organ.
The merit and kuccess of Muart's Dyspepsia'
Tablets are world-wide and they are sold at the
moderate price of 50 cents for full sized package
in every drugstore in the United Statca and Can
ada, as well as in Europe.
erous with the fat, using a deep pan,
with enough tat to cover- the article;
the fat can be used again, and should
be put through a strainer into a
clean vessel. When frying, the fat
should bo boiling hot, so. as to crisp
the outer surface at once, being care
ful not to allow it to scorch.
The choice pieces of pork for roast
ing are the spare-ribs and baclc-bone.
If the ribs are trimmed closely, as
they generally are in the markets,
a dressing of bread-crumbs is an im
provement; lay the ribs in a pan,
spread over them a dressing of
crumbs, season with pepper, salt and
sage; then another layer of ribs and
seasoning, with a very little water in
the pan; cook until done, drain off
the top, add a little water and thick
en the gravy.
For baking the chine, or back
bone, rub well with salt; place in a
dripping pan with a large teacupful
of water; place around the meat some
medium-size, potatoes, keep the pan
well covered and cook until thorough
ly done.
A favorite southern dish is made
thus: Take the small end of the
back-bone, cut irf pieces two or three
inches long, wash well and boil in
water until done, when there should
be but little water lefljn the kettle;
have ready some nice pastry; line a
pan or baking dish with some of the
pastry, lay the bones Into the pan with
some of the water in which they
were boiled, season to taste with salt
and peppnr, add bits of butter and a
few pieces of pastry dropped hero and
there over the meat, cover the top
with pastry, and bake nice and brown.
To Our Readers.
Friends, it is useless to ask for re
cipes that will enable you to' make,
with your home appliances, and cook
ing arrangements, breads, biscuits,
cakes or crackers like the commercial J
articles. An expert cook, with every
thirfg at hand, can take a hoin'o recipe
and by it mono a better, more nu
tritious and moro digestible article
than any tue market can oiler, white
one With leas ability or experience, and
with or without necesaary conven
iences, will tane the best recipe to be
had and make a iiat failure of it. The
iactory articles are made by line and
expensive machinery, in immenue
quantities, by experts in all depart
ments, specially prepared oyens, and
everything "just right," and no home
cook, with the ordinary family kitchen
arrangements, can compete with them.
It will be much more satisfactory
for you to supply yourself with a few
reliable cookery boons not necessar
ily the most expensiveand with
books treating of culinary matters
written by our best authorities oh
cookery, and try such recipes as you
feel interested in, following directions
closely as to. materials, measures, put1
ting together of ingredients; manage

after they leave the baking pans.

Too Late.
'Tis a wearisome world this world
of ours,.
With its tangles small an.d great,
Its weeds that smother, the springing
flowers
And its hapless strifes' with fate;
And the darkest day of its desolate'
days' ,l' . ' "l
Sees the lielp that comes too- Jate.
Ah, woe for the word that is never
said
Till, the ear is deaf to hear;
And woe for" the lack of the' fainting
heart " " ' ' '
Of the ringing shout of cheer;
Ah, woe for the laggard feet that
tread
In the mournful wake of the bier!
What booteth help, when the heart
is numb?
What booteth a broken spar
Of love thrown out when the lips are
dumb
And life's bark drifteth afar,
O, far and fast from the alien past,
Over the moaning bar?
A 'pitiful thing, the gift of today
That is dross and nothing worth,
Though if it had come but yesterday
It had brimmed with swoet the
earth '
A fading rose in a death-cold hand,
That perished in want and dearth!
Who fain would help in this world of
ours,
Where sorrowful steps must fall,
Bring help in time to the waning
powers
Ere the "bier is spread with the pall;
Nor send reserves when the flag Is
furled ' '
And the dead beyond recall.
For baffling most in this dreary world,
With its tangles small and- great,
Its lonesome nights and its dreary
days
And its struggles forlorn with fate,
Is that bitterest grief, too deep for
tears,
Of the help that comes too late.'

The elementary forms of cake are
that known as pound cake, made with
butter, and that known as sponge
cake, made without butter. The mo
dification of pound cake in which
milk, with an increased proportion
of flour is used, Is called cup cake,
and this Is the basis of all plain loaf
or layer cake; when the measure of
butter is made scant, less flour In
proportion should be used; a lessened
qnantity of qgg calls for a lessened
quantity of- milk, or an increase of
flour.

There is a great deal too much- mystery about
theptactice of medicine. The average doctor
seems to think it a duty to keep his patients iu
the dark. Whether he visits them in the sick
room, or receives them at his office, it is all much
the same. In cases of weak or dis ased lungs he
it apt to be more secretive and sphinxlikc than
ever. He feels the pulse, examines the tongue
and the sputa, pftcn heedlessly enough, perhaps
uses the ttcthoscope to note the state of the
breathing organ, and that's about all. Keeping
all his knowledge and conclusions to himself, he
then writes out his prescription, gives some hints
about diet and exposure, and then why, then he
marches off with his fee in his pocket, but gives
no word of explanation or enlightenment. He
act as if the pat ent had no interest 111 the renlt
and he himself were the only creature con
cerned. That is all wrong. We denounce it as a faulty
and dtscourag'ng system. Iu administering the
Copper Cure treatment ( Autidotum Tuberculose)
we proceed rn a totalty d fferent line. Not only
do we instruct the patient minutely on the facts
of the disease, ,ts cause, progress, dangers, and
indications, but we show him what our remedy
will do, how and why it docs it. and how it
meets, vanquishes, and expels the germ that
creates the tuberculosis condition. All this is in
addition to the advice we give on the special
di. gnosis and which is cheerfully furnished by
mail in answer to every requot or report. Thus
the patient in his own home, and no.matter how
far away from us, really knows more about the
p ogles 01 nis cure ana me cnange tnat is Hap
pily going forward in his syftcm than he would
ever be told by the local physician whom he
could meet every day. By virtue of this knowl
edge, too, we consider him an active participant
in his own cure.
In a word, there is no mystery, no occultism,
no blind gues work about the Copper Cure for
Consumption. It is based on a sound and ra
tional science, and we feel that the closer our
patients study it the stronger wi'l be their con
fidence and the quicker they will get well.
We earnestly advise everybody who has the
least tendency to lung trouble to send at once
for our illustrated booklet on the subject. It is
mailed free of cost to all who send for it. In
clear and simnlc language it tells you more about
this great affliction, with all its symptoms and
tendencies, than you could learn in a lifetime
from any other source. It also gives the evidence
for the Copper Cure and its wonderful success
that will comfort you with the assurance that
help is ever at hand. Do not wait until you are
actually dying; that's all.
Persons who suffer from chills, daily fever, loss
of appetite, Weak voice, loss of weght, pain
in the back, pain in the breast-bone, night
sweats, pallor or flushing, lassitude, painful
breatlung, paina in the lung and chest, a gen
