A half rtoien visiting girls and women saved last week from absolute dullness, for. excepting n few card parties, every thing wus given In honor of somebody." As It was. the week aas full, although in the main the affairs were ordinary enough. The small luncheon parties were especially numerous: there were not days enough to gr around among the many women who would have complimented the visiting itat the amnll evening card parties were nearly as numerous. This wek la t.ot i .mUinr ir m la to tudee bv the I " Y . i calendar, but of course every one knows i better than that nowadays, and as mere are sat til a number of visiting girls In town, almost anything mny be expected, for peo ple have to be entertained, especially if the people happen to be bright, attractive women. The' Visiting Nurses" association has re quested that other hostesses refrain ftpm entertaining Monday afternoon and even ing, February 25. For the last eight years tho association has observed Washington's birthday, unless it fell on a Sunday, by giving a birthday party. In the past Nome of the spacious homes of the city have been throvn open for this occasion, which consists of a reception with a program. The last few years, however, the attend ance has been so large that even the largest homes were Insufficient to accom modate the attendance, and last year the Blka gave the uae' of their club rooms for the birthday party. It also happened that a number of other hostesses had chosen that day for entertaining and In consequence many of the stnunchest friends of the association were unable to attend Ite reception. While invitations are Issued to this reception, a general In vitation la also extended, as It is Impos sible, to reach all by card. Accompanying tha Invitation la the request ,that ench guest bring a penny for each year of her age or more. If she or he desires. About l.iXO little silk bags are sent nut each year to be returned wltt) .the money. As this birthday party Is the only established f harlty . foretlon given In Omaha, the members of the association have not hesi tated tq ask that February 22 be dedi cated to thla occasion when the public may make Ha offering to one of the moit worthy of the elty'a oharltlea. Thla year the reception will be continued during the evening as well aa tha afternoon that the men may attend aa well as the women. While the place haa not yet been definitely decided upon, the reception probably will be held tn the Elks' club rooms, aa they are large and easily accessible.

Great natures Do Not Deapalr at Dla- appolntment They Look for Something- Else to Do. The broad-gauged man of today doea not get blue Just because thlnga don't al ways come hla way unless there la some thing the matter with him. If he "falla down" on one proposition he immediately starts to look up another. He always looks forward and keeps on hustling. A man with his health and hla faculties has plenty of opportunities snd the man who gives up or even feels like It has either a small nature or soms physical weakness. Dyapepala certainly puta the. best of men out of condition for work of any kind. You cannot blame the dyspeptic for getting blue. The very nature of hla dlaeaae Is most depressing snd calculated to deprive him of ambition, energy and hope- There is hope for him, however, certain and sure. Stusrt's Dyspepsia Tablets are recog nized throughout ths length snd breadth of the land as the one cure that's safe and sure. Thelrunbounded popularity result ing from the thousands and thousands of cures they have effected, prove beyond the shadow of a doubt their greatness ss a cure. Wherein lies their grestness? In the very fact that they are vature's own simple remedy. They do the exaot work In exactly the aams way that the digestive fluids of the stomach do because they are composed of exactly the same elements and possess the same properties. They re lieve the weak and worn out stomach of Its burden or digestion snd permit It with out let or hindrance to rest and grow aound and well. The atomach will get well quick enough In Its own natural way If It la let alone. )'hat,ls what Stuart's Dy spepsia Tableta do. They not only let It alone themselves, but make the food taken into the stomach do the same. You can satisfy yourself of the truth f this statement by putting th food you would eat Into a (lass Jar with sufficient at the home of Mra. avenue. water and one of 8'uart's Dyspepsia Tab lets. Th process of digestion will be taken up and carried out Just aa th gas trin Juic and other digestive fluids would do it. Their action Is natural and they cause no disturbance In the digestive gans. In fact, you forget you hav a stomach when thy begin to do their work, a mild and natural Is th operation. Htuart' Dyspepsia Tablets are for salt by all druggists at Wg box.

Thursday, February X. is the dale ilnally decided on for the visit to Oinalin ol Dr. Douglas Hyde. On the evt ning of that tiny he will speak ut the Boyd on the subject of Ids visit to tle fnlt.il M'a-.-. Dr. Hyde. . whose home is In Dublin. Ireland. Is the father and hem ,.r the movement just now stilting the itjxli nice for the preservation of Its language. Two years ago the poet Yeats came to Am-flea cm the same errand, and now the moving spirit of t lie- campaign Is here himself to give it new Impetus. He hue been en- thusitiKtically received wherever he li.is p- penred. ami In New York. Boston. ChlidKO. Philadelphia and other cities his welcome personally has only been overshadowed I y the fact that Irishmen of all reiiKions have vied with each other In doing liim honor und in contributing to the fund he Is raising for the furtherance of the c b Jcct of the Gaelic league of Ireland. Dr. Hde speaks of his mission In this wise: "Ireland is now engaged upon the last great battle of the race, a battle Hr the preservation of Its language. More thnn that, we are engaged In the lust meat buttle of the Irish race for the preserva tion of ita own Identity. Today the l-lsh language la being taught In 3.000 schools and not less than 25,noo people jre study ing the language and the history of their forefathers." Perhaps the dearest reason for the ex istence of the Gaelic league, to scholars, at least, is the preservation of tolk lore, unwritten and existing only in the ifdehc tongue. Much of this has been rescued from threatened oblivion and preserved to the world by Dr. Hyde and his society. The local committee, of which C. J. Smyth is chairman and D. J. O'Done.noe secretary, has already named sub-committees to arrange all the details for Dr. Hyde'e visit to Omaha. Samuel Burns' annual Reduction Fait. t'nlveraltjr of Nebraska Sehool of Aarlr ultnre.
