SUPERFLUOUS HAIR
Why Not Shave It Off? If You Do
It Right It Does It Better Than
Most Depilatories
You might just as well shave as use
a pasty substance which Is to be ap
plied to remove superfluous hair. This
simply removes the surface hair;
therefore the effect is the same as
shaving, only the razor is more con
venient and takes it off cleaner. Of
course, it does not matter which way
you do it; you only remove the sur
face hair, which will return stronger
after each removal. The same ap
plies to other worthless compounds
and so-called "liquid cures.” De Mir
acle is not like these; it is the only
method that gives proof that it is ab
solutely non-poisonous, safe and sure.
You are not asked to buy it on our
BARE WORD. It is the only prepara
tion of its kind which is endorsed by
physicians, surgeons, dermatologists,
medical journals, prominent maga
zines and newspapers. Remember,
the longer you use sucn treatments
as those refered to above the stronger
the hair will grow and the harder it
will be to remove it. De Miracle is
sold at all good stores.
No honest dealer will offer you a
substitute on which he makes more
profit.
We will send you a 52-page booklet
containing full information concerning
this remarkable treatment. You
should read this booklet before you
try anything. Write to the De Miracle
Cr* ideal Co., Dept. 8, 1905 Park Ave.,
York, simpiy saying you want
this booklet, and it will be mailed,
sealed, at once.
Note—All readers of this paper who
-rt afflicted with superfluous hair
rowths are strongly advised to write
for information concerning this won
derful method, which is endorsed the
World over by eminent authorities,

lubject.
double tulips, delicate sweetpeas, and
hundreds of daffodils.
Mrs. Oakford was assisted in re
ceiving her guests by her guest of
honor, Mrs. Demit, Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs.
Scranton and Misses Smith.
A most attractive feature of the
luncheon was the various costumes
worn by the guests, as the hour was
rather an unusual one there was no
special dress required. There were
women in calling gowns, women in
coat suits, others in shirtwaist suits
and Panama hats, while the men wore
anything from Prince Alberts to golf
togs.
MISS SARA SPANG MILLER HERE.
Miss Sara Spang Miller, of Read
ing, Pa., is in the city on a visit to
her sister, Mrs. James T. Gardiner,
222 Green street.

today, substituting for Miss Daniel,
who is ill with la grippe.
Miss Miller has a beautiful voice
and is an honor graduate of the New
England Conservatory of Music, of
Boston, after completing her full four
years course. Miss Miller sang for
three years in the First Presbyterian

its congregation as well as to all the
music loving people of Augusta, who
will give her a warm welcome today.

A Reasonable Plea
For The Stomach
If Your Stomach is Lacking in Di
gestive Power, Why Not Help the
Stomach Do Its Work—Es
pecially When It Costs
Nothing To Try?
Not with drugs, but with a rein
forcement of digestive agents, such
as are naturally at work in the stom
ach? Scientific analysis shows that
digestion requires pepsin, nitrogenous
ferments, and the secretion of hydro
chloric acid. When your food fails
to digest, it is proof positive that
some of these agents are lacking in
your digestive apparatus.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets contain
nothing but these natural elements
necessary to digestion and when
placed at work in the weak stomach
and small intestines, supply what
these organs need. They stimulate
the gastric glands and gradually bring
the digestive organs back to their nor
mal condition.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets have
been subjected to critical chemical
tests at home and abroad and are
found to contain nothing hut natural
digestives.

I have analyzed most carefully a
box of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets
(which I bought myself at a city
chemist's shop for the purpose),
manufactured by the F. A. Stuart Co.,
86 Clerkenwel Road, London, E. C„
and have to report that I cannot find
any trace of vegetable or mineral
poisons. Knowing the Ingredients of
the tablets, I am of opinion that they
are admirably adaptable for the pur
pose for which they are intended.

John R. Brooke, F. I. C., F. C. S.
There is no secret In the preparation
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Their
composition Is commonly known
among physicians, as Is shown by the
recommendations of 40,000 licensed
physicians in the United States and
Cana-da. They are the most popular
of all remedies for indigestion, dys
pepsia, water brash, Insomnia, loss of
appetite, melancholia, constipation,
dysentery and kindred diseases ori
ginating from improper dissolution
and assimilation of foods, because they
are thoroughly reliable and harmless
to man or child.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are at
once a safe and powerful remedy, one
grain of these tablets being strong
enough (by test) to digest 3,000 grains
of steak, eggs and other foods. Stuart’s
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest your
food for you when your stomach can't.
Ask your druggist for a fifty cent
package or send to us direct for a
free trial sample package and you will
be surprised at the result. F. A.
