At the Michigan Central depot he greeted a group of newspaper men ami police officers with his old-time nervous cordiality and r-xpressed the confident hope that he would be back in Detroit in April for a new trial.

AFRAID OF SMALLPOX This the Reason Prisoners Were Not Brought to Penitentiary. It -was slated at the penitentiary yes? terday that the reason why the prisoners at Newport News sentenced to terms in the penitentiary would not be brought here at present was because there were cases of contagious disease within a short distance of the jail in Newport News. "We -want to use all necessary precau? tion," said an oillcial of the penitentiary, "and when we sent for O'Boyle and other prisoners yesterday and learned of the present disease in the neighborhood, we countermanded the order, and the prison? ers will remain where they are for the AN EASY WAY. 'To Keep Well. It is easy to keep well if we would only observe each day a few simple rules of health.

The all-important thing is to. keep the stomach right, and to do this it is not necessary to diet or follow a set rule or bill of fare. Such simply makes a capricious appetite and a feel? ing that certain favorite articles of must be avoided. Wiechoid' gives pretty good ad? vice on this subject. He says: "I am years old and have never had a serious illness, and at the same time ray life ha? been largely an indoor one, but 1 early discovered that the way to keep healthy was to keep a healthy not by eating bran crackers or dieting of any sort; on the contrary 1 always cat what my appetite craves, but daily for the past eight years I have made it a practice to take one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal and 1 attribute my robust health for a man of my age to the regular daily use of Stuart's Tablets.

"My physician iinst advised me to use them because he said they were perfect? ly harmless and were not a secret pat? ent medicine, but contained only the nat? ural digestives, peptones and diastase, and after using them a few weeks I have never ceased to thank him for his advico. "I honestly believe the habit of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals Is the real health habit, because their use brings health to the sick and ailing and preserves health to the well and strong." Men and women past fifty years of age need a digestive after meals to insure a perfect digestion and to ward off dis? ease, and the safest, best known and most used is Stuait's Dyspepsia They are found in every well regulated household from Maine to Calif onda and In Great Britain and Australia are rap Idly pushing their way into popular favor. AH durggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, full sized pkgs. at SO cents, and for a. weak stomach a fifty cent package will often do fifty dollars' of good.
