"Diggst"
Thia Is the Secret of Life in Bus
iness1 or Health.
It Is claimed that Lord Bacon struck the
prime keynote of life when he wrote:
"Borne books are to be tasted, others to
be swallowed, and some few to be chewed
and .digested."
He wrote of books; many who have fol
lowed him have written likewise of Ufa
The man who digests his business, makes
ueoess; the actor or actress who digests
ttla or bar art brings tame; the man who
lives life and. digests it as he should lives
as waa the tnteatloa be should live.
It Is not the food you swallow or taste
that brings happiness to you; it Is the
food you digest .
If you swallow and taste snd don't di
gest and chew, Nature cannot give you
health, for you do not furnish the am
munition. Stuart's Dyspepsia ' Tablets contain la
pure, concentrated form the essences
which when they reach the stomach, turn
dyspeptic conditions Into those of healthy
digestion; '
Toms little tablets are dissolved in the
mouth y saliva; they mix with this fluid
and are passed down intt the stomach,
wbere they immediately set to work upon
the food and digest It They, are many
times more powerful than the human di
gestive fluids, and thus replenish Nature
with these Juices which sickness, abuse
or wrongful eating have exhausted. '
The world'a best chemists in Europe
and America agree en the ingredients best
adapted to perfect digestion. Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets are these Ingredients
presented to the stomach In the most
pleasant and lasting form.
Powders and liquids soon loose their ef
fectiveness through chemical actions and
decay.' J Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
made under terrific pressure, and their
quantise are thus made lasting.

Upholds Free II tab School Lae,
BEATRICE, Neb., Oct. 15. (Special.) A
decision was rendered yesterday In the dis
trict court by Judge I M. Pemberton up
holding the constitutionality of the state
high school law relative to the payment of
free tuitions. The case was brought In
Richardson county by Thomas Wilkinson
against Joshua Lord. The law provides that
nonresident pupils desiring a high school
education which they cannot get In their
home district may be admitted to any
high school In the state upon recommenda
tion of the county superintendent. In this
case Wilkinson brought an Injunction suit
against Lord, treasurer of Richardson
county, enjoining him from paying over to
the high schools in the county the amounts
due them from the several districts as tuition
fees for the nonresident pupils attending
from these districts. In his decision Judge
Pemberton refused the injunction, thereby
recognizing the validity of the statutes rela
tive to the provisions for tuition for pupils
residing In any district wherein there is
no high school offering a four years'
course.

A FOOD LESSON
That the Teacher Won't forget.
Teaching school is sometimes very ard
uous work. If the teacher Is not robust
and in good health, she can't do her beat
for her echolars or for her own satisfac
tion.
When it becomes a question of proper
food for brain work, as in school teach
ing, many teachers have found Grape-
Nuts Ideal.
"I have been for many years a teacher,
and several months ago found myself in
such a condition that I feared I should
have to give up work," writes a N. Y,
teacher.
"So nervous was I, that disalness and
spella of falntness were frequent and my
head and stomach gave me much trouble.
"Several physicians who treated me
gave me only temporary relief and the
old alls returned.
"About three months ago I dropped all
medicine and begsn eating Grape-Nuts
morning and night. Now, my head is
clear, pain In stomach entirely gone, and
I have gained In flesh. I am not only
continuing in school, but have engaged
to teach another year.
"I owe my restored health, a brighter
outlook on life, and relief from doctor
bills, to Grspe-Nuts." "There's a Reason.
