IN UP-TO-DATE SHOW
There Is a tradition among circus
men that the site and character of a
show are Indicated to a great extent by
ths number of Ita elephants. While
this Is not strictly true, and a circus
with a large herd of elephants might
give a very Inferior performance In the
ring, these Interesting animals are un
doubtedly the backbone of the travel
Ing menagerie. They are always
source of amusement to the crowds
who throng the circus tents and who
get keen enjoyment out of a bag of
peanuts and a swaying trunk that
aeema built for handling mors satis
fying forage; but, apart from this, they
are utilised In the performance In auch
a way as to establish a place for them
selves on the program among the other
actors.’’
Those who attend the performances
of the Barnum A Bailey circus, when
the big show exhibits In Atlanta Octo
ber 19-20, will be aetonlahed at the
feats of the trained elephants. The
three rings are entirely tilled with the
great beasts. The acts In the end rings
are notable, but the battle scene pre
sented In the middle ring by the eight
little elephants is the most remarkable
exhibition of the kind ever seen In this
country. The Asiatic method of firing
rifles and cannon from the backs of
elephants la strikingly Illustrated. Ele
phants are also used to striking ad
vantage In the gorgeous “Peace" spec
tacle. The baby elephant and mother
aleo attract a good deal of attention.
Among other trained creatures are
pigs, dogs, horses, sea lions, monkeys
and sheep. Several of the clowns use
trained animals In their performances
and, the effect Is very ludicrous. A
great circus performance, a splendid
menagerie end an exciting revival of
the old Roman hippodrome racee are
features of this year's show.
Every Day
She
Said
Early in the morning before dressing, “Now I must quit
drinking coffee, I know it causes my weak heart and the
over increasing nervousness. These troubles get steadi
ly worse and what will the end be?” But when the cof
fee comes on at breakfast she says, “Well, just this one
cup,” and so it goes from day to day the same old round
and the bodily ailments growing worse as time goes on.
The coffee habit acts like a personal demon, ever
ready to offer excuses and to steadily push his victim one
step down each day and laugh at the good resolutions.
But there’s a way aud a sure way to kill off that de-
men. Order the Coffee kept off the table and Postum
Food Coffee served in its place. Then one can have the
hot breakfast beverage with the deep seal brown of cof
fee. changing to a rich golden brown when cream is
added, and, with a flavor all its own, the Postum comes
as a strong friend iu need.
The change iu feeling will begin within a day or two,
gene rally the first day. The drug of coffee (caffeine) has
been cut off and the body and nerves relieved, then
comes, the, sturdy feeling of new life aud new healthy
cells being built in from the rebuilding food in Postum.
Gradually the old aches and ails disappear and the joy
and swing of health comes again. You can pipve it iu
your own ease.

This report was made at the request

How One Man Wasted 50 Years of His
Life. Theusands Like Him.
"What's the use of eatln', anyhow?"
said the scrawny dyspeptic to his ro
tund, prosperous-looking friend.
"Here I've been earin' three times
day, and sometimes twice n day, for 50
yeurs, and look at ine. I'nt rawboned
and skinny, still at the bottom of the
ladder, sour on the world, nnd n pes
simist. I know It, and I can't help It.
If 1 had It to do over again, though,
1 would take care of my stomach, for
t don't believe I ever really relished a
meal In tny life, not even mother's
Christmas dinners, and I firmly believe
that my way of earing, or whatever It
was, brought along with It darkness
and Impossibility of success."
You’re right," nodded his compan*
ion. "Of course, that Isn't always the
case. But In this age we must not only
'Trust In the Lord nnd keep our pow
der dry,' but we must swallow sunshine
with our food. Cheerfulness, especial
ly while earing, which is the most es
sential act of man. Is ns necessary to
him as sunshine Is to the flower*.
Nothing normal can be produced In
darkness.
"But this Is what you haven't been
doing, Mr. Dyspeptic. Your brain and
your stomach, remember, are twins,
and you have to.treat them according
ly. -Why not start now and repair the
damage you've done? It Is never too
late, you know.”
"You mean nt my age? And sup
pose you can’t always get the sun
shine?”
"Absolutely, yes. Science has made
It possible to get the sunshine, the
health and the strength that your
stomach needs, all put up together In
little tablets. They call them Stuart'a
Dyspepsia Tablets, the most effective
tablets In the world for this very thing.
One Ingredient In these tablets digests
3.000 grains of food without the help
of the stomach. Two tablets after each
meal can do more work, quicker work
and better work. In digesting n heavy
meal, than the stomach can Itself. The
stomach need not work at all. Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets docs ail the work,
and gives your Jaded stomach a rest,
the rest U needs. Meanwhile you cure
yourself of brash. Irritation, burning
sensation, heartburn, sour stomach,
acidity, fermentation, bloat, and the
worst cases of dyspepsia and Indiges
tion. You get rid of these for all time.
And then, besides, you can eat all yuu
want and whenever you want, and you
will also relish mother's Christmas din
ners if you will take Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets after eating. That's the
sunshine 1 was talking about. Then
your face will reflect the internal
change going on, you’ll be clearer, you
wilt have more confidence In yourself,
you'lhbe happier, and you'll be yourself
again.
"Your heart will change and you'll
feel rosy. You'tt enjoy your meals—
and live. Let's wnlk down to the drug
store and let me Introduce you to one
little package of these Stuart’s Dys
pepsia Tablets. You ran get them at
any drug store in the world for only
