The altar candles softened glow

WASHINGTON, April 2i-The confer

i,.cnt Eliot, of Harvard university, severe.
ly arraigncd tho foreign policy of Presi.
dent Cleveland and his fellow townsman,
Secretary Olney. The personalities which
President Eliot uttered in cool, measured
terms were SO pointed that they created a
decided sensation. He began by referring
to the criticism Of a Harvard graduate
upon the assembly as inopportune. The
country had been surprised and discour-
nged at the immense war spirit it had en-.
countered. he said. and continued:
Congress Not To BE Depended On.
"Only four months ago we saw by the
messag, Of President Cleveland that com.
pulsory arbitration was to be entered into
by two nations. We learned that months
before the secretary of state had issued
from this capital papers of a most remark.
able tenor, which between individuals
would have seemed at least exaspcratin-.
These papers took thousands of American
citizens by surprise-surprise uninten.lct,
perhaps. but inevitable. Then when gray.

thought might be depended upon to con.
slider them deliberately, we We're painfully
surprised to SEQ that such delibcration
oould no longer be depended upon"
- Populace Is Too Inf'ammable.
He spoke of the increased inf ,mmabi,-
ity Of multitudious populations because of
the press, and went on: I'VE have seen
the phenomenon of men employed as cab
met officers who have absolutely no ex.
perience in public affairs" He went on
TO say that this had introduced into pub.
lie affairs a new danger--the danger of in.
experience; bringing men from the tu-
multuous, conten tious profession of the law
into cabinet offices. There has recently

them would get it without struggle In
some trades the hours will be reduced to

the Federation to precipitate any changes
in industrial conditions that will prove
too violent.
Continuing he said: II do not want to
predict that there will or will not be

are started there is no telling where they
will end. At the present time 1 do not

SAVES DOCTOR BILLS.
Better Than Blood Purifiers
and Nerve Tonics."
A Harmless and Effective Cure for
Indigestion and Stomach
Troubles.

The price of wheat and labor has
gone to low water mark. but the
taxes and doctors fees are as high
as ever; nine-tenths of all weakness
and disease originate in poor diges-
ton; get the stomach right and keep
1t right and disease will be warded
of and doctors bills kept at dis
lance
People with weak stom achs cannot
have pure blood, strong nerves
bright eyes and clear color; these
only come from plenty Of wholesome
food well digested. Why not? Where
does blood. nerve. bone, sinew and
flesh come from anyway, if not from
the stomach, from the food we eat
and digest.
The trouble arises from food that
is slowly half digested; it lies for
hours in the stomach, fermenting,
souring. decaying; causing head
ache. palpitation. irritable tempers,
gloomy, discontinued feelings. Ma.
lures cure for indigestion is to assist
and rest the stomach by the use of
some harmless remedy which will
digest the food before it has time to
ferment. There is an excellent prep
aration of this kind, not secret pat
ent medicine, but a pleasant harm
less combination Of vegetable and
fruit essences, pure pepsin and gol-
den seal. sold by druggists under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
No secret is made of their compost
ton and you know what you are
taking into your stomach. DR.. Jen-
nison advises them because they cure
indigestion and increase flesh by in
creasing nutrition. DR.. Harlandson
says: To increase flesh, appetite
and cure dyspepsia, know of moth
ing SO safe and effectual as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets save
doctors bills because a full sized
package costing but so cents at any
drug store. will often do more real
good than $50 worth Of ordinary doc
tors fees.
