: PECULIAR POISONS.
UBNERATED IN THE HUMAN BODS',
The Result
of Imperfect
Food.
Digestion of
Every Hying thing, plant or animal
contains within itself the germs of
decay and death.
In the human body these germs of
disease and death (called by scientists
Ptomaines), are usually tne result of
imperfect digestion of food; the result
of indigestion and dyspepsia,
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not thoroughly digest the food,
The result is a heavy, sodden mass
which ferments (tne first process of
decay) poisoning the blood, making it
thin, weak and lacking in red corpus'
cles; poisoning the brain causing head
aches and pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart,
causing palpitation and finally bring
ing on diiease of this very important
organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright 's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal,
and weak digestion shows itself not
only in loss of appetite and flesh, but
in weak nerves and muddy complex
ion.
The great English sclent ist, Huxley
Bald the Ibest start in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fall to di
geet food properly, because they lack
the proper quantity of digestive acids
(lactic and hydrochloric) and pepto-
genic products; the most sensible
remedy in all cases of indigestion, is
to take after each meal, one or two of
Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets, because
they .supply in a pleasant, harmless
form all the elements that weak stom
achs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets will cure every form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach. ;
They increase flesh, Insure pure
blood, strong nerves, a bright eye and
a clear complexion.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets at 50 cents, .full
sized package or by mail by enclosing
price to Stuart Co..' Marshall, Mich.,
but ask your druggist first.

CHRISTMAS IN TBI DALLAS.
Two Days of Kest and Religions Observ
ance. Christmas 1898 will long be remem
bered by residents of The Dalles as one
of the pleasant events in the city's
history. Two days were devoted to
holiday observances, business having
closed Saturday evening and was not
resumed until Tuesday morning.
Saturday evening Christmas services
were held at the Episcopal, Christian
and Congregational churches, and
were well attended.
At the Episcopal church a Christmas
screen was arranged where prefect.'
were hung for the children of the
Sunday school, and after the render
ing of a short and appropriate pro
gram, the heart? of the little oops
wera made glad by the distribution of
presents.
In the Christian church a rpal old
fashioned Christmas tree was arranged,
Santa Claus and all. The old patron
saint of all children appeared promptly
on time, making the little hearts jump
with glee and bringing joy to every
one
The tree at the congregational
church -was tastefully decorated and
was ladeued with presents for the
Sunday school pupils that were dis
tributed after the rendering of a pleas
ing prngram.v-
The Lutherans did not have their
tree until Sunday night, though it was
none the Isss appreciated. The
musical program was excellent.
The Sunday services at the differ
ent churches were all appropriate to
the occasion, the pastors selecting for
their themes the life of Christ and his
works. At the Christian church in the
evening Rev. W. V. Boltz delivered a
farewell sermon, he having resigned
his position as pastor, and will engag6
hereafter in evangelical work.
Midnight mass was said at the
Catholic church Saturday night, early
mass at 7:30 and high mass at 10:30.
The pleasentest events of Christmas
however were not observed at the
Churches or on the streets; they were
in the homes where the family circles
were more strongly united around
little Christmas trees. A wanderer
about the streets In the residense part
of the city Sunday morning could see
through open windows almost every
where the green branches of trees that
had brought joy and happines to
hundreds of hearts the night before
and he could see the merry faces of
children everywhere as they flitted
from house to house to display to their
play fellows the gifts that had been
bestowed upon them.
Christmas day was a most perfect
one. Early in the morning the sun
shown out bright and clear, and the
atmosphere was soft and balmy as
spring. Overcoats and wraps could
be laid aside without regret, for they
were not needed for comfort. A
pleasanter day could not have been;
It was simply perfect.
On Monday all business was sus
pended. Stores were locked and
offices closed, while the toilers spent
the day at home with their families,
for a day forgetting the cares of busy
life.
Indeed Christmas in The Dalles this
year was pleasantly spent, and there
can be no regrets connected with it
except it be that It could not last the
entire year.
of some material thing. But it really
consists in devotion to another of what
we have; it may be money or time or
skill or thoughtfulness or patience.
There is no one so poor that he can
not givo something. That is the real
joy of Christmas time. If we carried
the Christmas spirit into all the days
of the year we should make life in
finitely sweeter and happier.
' Didn't Find the Falls.
The falls of Mill creek are wildelv
renowned for their beauty and
grandeur, and have been admired by
hundreds of people who have visited
them. Their beauty had been so
vividly picruied to Mr. Fry, engineer
of the Pacific Bridge Co., who is a
great admirer of nature, that he ex
pressed a desire to see them, and la?t
Saturday T. J. Seufert volunteered to
pilot bim to the fails, he also being an
admirer of nature, though he bad
never seen the falls. They had been
led to believo the falls were only a
quarter of a mile from the end of the
road, so they took a team and drove
out Saturday morning. Leaving their
rig at tin last farm house, they started
on foot for the renowned cataract.
They walked and walked but no
cascade could they find. They waded
the creek numerous times, viewed the
surrounding country with field glasses
acd put their ears to the ground to
listen for the falling waters, but all In
vain. After putting in the entire day
they returned to town at nightfall
hungry, tired and angry, vowing that
the Mill creek falls are a myth, and
declaring vengence upon the man who
first mentioned them in their hearing,
Tell Your Sister.

Icaf Turning.
Leaf turning on New Year's day is
conducive to good habits. Doubtless
many young hearts today are just as
desirous to leave off all that has been
found unworthy, and stick to the good
ship Wisdom, as in the days gone by,
Let them this New Year's day spy
out the land, count the snags they
have struck as they sailed along, and
resolve that they will steer clear of
them in the future. Thus may they
rise above the flesh and the devil, and
be able to walk among men as was de
signed for man, when he was created a
little lower than the angels.
To turn ' over a new leaf is not an
easy task when erratic conduct and
years of folly have seared the con
science, hardened the heart and
blighted one's reputation among his
fellow men. Satan wafts back the
leaves as you turn, but sincere and
long continued efforts will succeed,
and you can stand before men and
angels redeemed, from the bondage' of
bad habits true victors in life's field.

Dalles Bowlers Did Not Win
Feldenhelmer Trophy.
When The Dalles bowling team left
here, for Portland, to contest for the
Feldenhelmer trophy on the Oregon i
Road Club alleys, they were buoyant
th expectation and 'hoped to be able
to come home bearing tbe laurels of

Schmidt, Bert Baldwin and . Victor
Sampson, six of the best bowlers in
The Dalles, but it will have to be
conceded that Portland has a team
that is better. 1 , -

tribute to the happiness of others that
makes Christmas the most delightful
of all our holidays. Children, at first,

parent teaches the child to be a giver
as well as a receiver, and to find tbe
deeper joy of the Christmas time in
doing something for the pleasure of
someone else. The maxim: "It is
more blessed to give than to receive,''
is one of those beautiful statements
that it is easy to approve, but one
never knows how true it is until be
finds it verified in experience. Then
a new fountain of joy opens In tbe
heart and a new way of life is disclosed.
We often make the mistake of thinking
that "giving" consists in the bestowal
