Tm: death ls announced at Boston of

Murdock MacKenzie, aged 22, son of J ns. und Mrs MacKenzie, Biadnlbnno. The deceased was taken ill with appendleitis on Sept 27th and passed away the same day. The death is made doulitly sad by the demise of his brother Alexander which called him home ton months pre- viously. The body was taken home and interred at Hurtsvllle where services were impressively and feelingly conducted by Rov. Mr. Seller. The ballbsarers were 'John A McLeod, John A Matheson, Hugh McLure, Donald McLennun,Ed\vard Ross, and Roderick McKay.

Tris Canadian Grocer of November 3rd

says: McKenna, in the Charlottetown papers puts more life into a three-inch single column spncs than any other groc- erlnow have in mind. I-Ie chooses a suitable heading to commence with and than proceeds in a, logical way to elicit orders for his vinegar, etc. There is argu- ment, there is sunvity, but, beat of ull, there is a personality. The composit/or, too, has done his work with precision. Not. one idea of McKcnna’s is sacritlcod. This advertisement has the flavor of one ofthe mall order “big ’uns." This is high praise undo. fitting tribute to the ahllltyiofJaines Smith who writes the advertisements.

Roni~:n.1' B. MAN1'i:i.i., whose fine noting

His Richelieu is re- ceivinghlgh praise from the critics, one of_them snying: The Rlchhlieu of |history trod tho stage of thc Garden theatre last evening. It is not too much praise for Robert B. Mantel! to say that he vivliied one of the greatest characters In the world~dmma with fidelity, and did not mor t-he portrayal by subordinating the historic figure to the whims of the actor- 'l‘he.cardlnal-duke was shown vividly. There were tho high lights of his state- mnnslilp, the littleness of his cruftiness, the mightlness of his power, the feeble- ness of his body, the love of power, and yet greater love of France, and the self- sacriilc in behalf of the honor and happiness of his ward. In none cf these varied elements of the picture did Muntell failto ring true, and his audience dis- persed with a profound and true lm- pression of the real Richelieu."

THEORIES ABL UT FOOD.

Also a Few Facts on the Same Subject.

We hear much nowdays about health

foods and hygienic living, about veg- eturiunlaiu, and many other fads along the some line. 'Restaurants may be found in the larger cities where no ment, pastry or cotice is served and the food crank is in his glory, and arguments and the- ories gulore advanced to prove that meat_ wus never intended for human stomachs, mid almost mnke us believe that our sturdy uneestors, who lived four- score years in robust henlth_on roast beef, pork und mutton must have been grossly ignorant of the laws of health.

Our forefathers had other things to

do than- formulate theories about the food they nie. A warm welcome wus

extended to any kind, from bacon to. acorns.

A healthy appetite and enseommnottc

are excellent guides to follow in mat ters of diet, ands. mixed diet of grains fruits and ments is undoubtedly the best.

As compared with grains and vag-

etablcs, meat furnishes the most nutri- ment in a highly concentrated form nnd is digested and assimilated more quickly than vegetables or grains.

Dr. Julius Remmson. on this subject,

says: “Nervous persons, people run down in health und of low vitality should ent. ment and plenty of it. lf he digestion is too feeble at first it may be easily corrected by the regular use of St»uiirt.s’s Dyspepsln Tablets after each iueul. Two of these exeellen_ tablets taken nfter dinner will digest several thousand grains of meat. eggs or other animal food in three hours and no matter how weak the stomach may be, no trouble will be experienced if a regular practise is made of using, Stuart's Dyspepsia. Tublets, because they aiipply the pcpsin and diastoae necessary to perfect digestion, and every form of indigestion will be over- come by their use.

That lnrge class of people who come

under the head of nervous dyspepties should oat plenty of meat and insure its proper digestion by the daily use of ri. safe, harmless digestive medicine like Stuurt‘s 'Dyspepsia Tablets, com- posed of the natural digestive prin- ciples, pepsin, diastase, fruit acids and suits, which uetually perform the work of digestion. Chcup oathartic medl- cines. masquerading under the name of dyspepsia cures, are useless for indi- gestion, as they have absolutely no ef- fect upon the actual digestion of food.

Dyapspsia in all its many forms ls

simply afailure of the stomach .to dl- gest food, and the sensible way to solve the riddle and cure the dyapep- slais to make daily use at maui time of a preparation like Sl.unrt‘s Dpspap sia Tablets, which is endorsed by the medical profession and known to con- tain active digestive principles.
