Many people suffer from dyspepsia
and do not know it. Tney feel mean,
ont of sorts, peevisb, do not sleep well,
do not have a good keen appetite, do not
have the Inclination energy for physical
or mental work they once had, but at
tbe same time do not feel any particular
pain or distress in the stomach. Y’et all
this is the result of poor digestion, an
insidious form of dyspepsia which can
only be cured by a remedy specially in
intended to cure it and make the digest
ive organs act natnrally and properly di
gest the food eaten. Bitters, after din
ner pills and nerve tonics will never
help 4he trouble; they don't reach it.
The new medical discovery does. It is
called Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets and is
a specigc for dyspepsia and indigestion.
It cures because it thoroughly digests all
wholesome food taken into the stomach,
whether the stomach is In good working
order or no:,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets by digest
ing the food, instead of making the worn
out stomach do all the work, gives it a
much needed rest, and a cure for dys
pepsia is the natural result.
When you are nervous, ran down and
sleepless, don't make the common mis
take of supposing yonr nervous system
needs treatment and fill your stomach
with powerful nerve tonics which make
yon feel good for a little while only to
fall back farther than ever.
Yonr nerves are all right bnt they are
starved, they want food.

day food and plenty of It, well disgeted,
and yon can laugh at nerve tonics and
medicine.
But the nerves will not be nourished
from a weak, abased stomach, bat when
the digestion has been made perfect by
the use of this remedy all nervons symp

Who ever heard of a man or woman
blessed with a vigorous digestion and
good appetite being troobled with their

Good digestion means a strong ner

THE BOLL EXHIBIT
ON ALL THIS WEEK,
Splendid Exhibit at the
Villa Cottage on Reese
Street.
The Doll Collection will be on exhi-
hibition every afternoon this week from
3 to 6 o'clock. Admission 25 oents, hot
ohooolate served free. Children 10o,
without chocolate.
This collection was exhibited for the
first time in Boston in 1896, and con
tained less than fifty dolls. So great
was the interest shown in it, and so
many kindly notices given it by the
newspapers, the owner decided to add
to it and devote it to Children’s Chari
ties.
Time, money and patience has been
spent upon it, until it now numbers
hundreds from all over the world, with
no dnplioates, too many for one exhibit
and it has been 'divided into two, A and
B.
Many of the dolls oan never be dnpli

FEDERAL SOLDIER OWES HIS LIFE
TO MR. THOMAS P. OLIVER.
Under the head of "Pluck and Adven
tore,” tbe New York Tribune publishes
a story of special interest to the people
of Athens, since the hero of the story is
one of our fellow-citizens, Mr. T. P.
Oliver. Tne story is tolcl by Dr J. J.
Purman, who is employed in the pension
office at Washington.
Dr. Purman was first lieutenant in a
Pennsylvania company and at Gettys
burg was shot down on the field. He
saw a Confederate soldier iu front of the
Confederate lines and oalbd to him for
help. This soldier was Mr. Oliver.
Speaking of Mr. Oliver’e heroism and
courage, Dr Purman says:
"He crawled through the tangled
standing wheat end came to me, bring
ing a canteen of water—about the best
I ever tasted—which I drank. After
drinking and having some poured on
my wounds, I said to the Confederate,
'Won’t you carry me into the shade
within your lines?' At first he said
that be could not—that if we attempted
we would both be sho’>. I then sug
gested that he let me ges on his back
and that he crawl ont wi :h me as he
had crawled in. After some argument
he agreed to this. I managed to get on
his back, he holding up my wounded
legs, and this good fellow crawled off
organs right; they can’t help bat to do
it because they nourish the body by di
gesting the food eaten, and rest the
stomach.

and the same time, and that is all the

an added zest to every pleasure.

The Standard Oil Company, whose
stockholders Monday received a cash
dividend of $10,600,000, sent ont notioea
to all of its customers last week that It
bad advanced the price of oil one cent a
gallon to the middlemen, who in torn
most exact a higher price per gallon
from the consumer. The prioe of oil to
the jobber hereafter will be 11% cents a
gallon. This Is an Increase of oents
since the beginning of the coal strike.
The Standard Oil Company controls
over 80 per cent of the petroleum pro
duced in the United States. The pro
duction of illuminating petroleum is in
round numbers 1,000.000,000 gallons a
year. According to these figures, the
revenae of the Standard Oil Company
by the advanoe of 1 cent a gallon, an
nounced on Tuesday, will be increased
about $8,000,000 a year. This does not
include the annual exports of petroleum,
whioh last year amounted to 1,081,744,-
231 gallons.
There has been no advauoe, on
Standard Oil prodnot shipped to foreign
countries, because there is no coal strike
there, and because there is competition
with Russian Oil.
The Standard Oil Company has been
using every possible mean* to develop
the use of kerosene in heating and cook
ing stoves sinoe the beginning of the

Again getting me on his baek, he

is that the Standard Oil Company is try-
to make its profits large enough to pay
a 50 per cent dividend daring the pres
ent fiscal year. The Standard Oil Oo.’s,
fiscal year ends in Febrnry, and not
in January, as has been generally sup
posed. It has paid 45 per cent, this year,
as compared with 48 per cent, last year.
With the Increase of last week, the rev
enues will be sufficient to more than pay
the additional 5 per cent, required in
the Febrnary dividend to bring the an
nual payment up to $60,000,000.
One of the retail dealer! who exhibited
a notice of the advanoe to a Bannrr re
porter begged him not to disclose h<s
idenity.
If it were known that I gave this in
formation to The Banner,” said the
dealer, "it wonld put me out of the oil
business. The Standard Oil Company
does not hesitate to pursue the small fry,
as well as the big fellows. Ever; retail
dealer in the country will get the notloe
I presume.
"The advanoe falls very heavily on
poor people at this time. In addition
to increasing the prioe of oil the retail
merchants are compelled to tarnish
what is really an inferior grade of oil at
this time, for we are getting a poor grade
in A'hens now. There is nothing for
as to do bnt put an increase on the con
sumers as the Standard Oil Oo. diotates
