4. Positive Cure FOR Dyspepsia.

A. Positive Cure FOR Dyspepsia.
This may read as though we were put.
ting it a little strong because 1t is gen.
orally thought by the majority Of people
that dyspepsia in its chronic form is
incurable. or practically 50. But we have
long since shown that dyspepsia is cur
abe. nor is 1t such a difficult matter as
at first appears.
The trouble with dyspeptics is that
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves or going to opposite ex-
tremes or else deluging the already w
hardened stomach with "bitters," after
dinner pills." ETC., which invariably in
crease the difficulty even IL in some
cases they do give a slight temporary re-
lief. Such treatment OF the stomach
simply make matters worse. What the
stomach wants is arrest. Now how can
the stomach become rested. recuperated
and at the same time the body nourish>
ed and sustained.
This is the great secret and this ls al,
so the secret Of the uniform success OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This Is a
comparatively new remedy, but Its suc>
cess and popularity leaves no doubt az
to its merits.
The Tablet will digest the food any
way, regardless Of the condition Of the
stomach.
The sufferer from dyspepsia according
10 the directions is to eat an abundance
Of good, wholesome food and use the
tablets before and after each meal and
the result will be that the food will be
digessed no matter how bad your dys-
pepsia may be, because as before stated,
the Tablets will digest the food even II
the stomach Is wholly inactive. To IL
~lustrate Il meaning plainly, II you
take 1900 grains OF meat, eggs or ordi-
nary food and place it in a temperature
of SO degrees. and put with It one Of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. it will digest the
meat or eggs almost as perfectly as II
the meat was enclosed within the stom-
ach.
The stomach may be ever so weak, yet
these Tablets will perform the work Of
digestion and the body and brain will be
properly nourished and at the same time
a radical. lasting cure Of dyspepsia viii
be made because the much abused stom-
ach will be given, to some extent, a
much needed rest. Your druggist will
tell you that Of the many remedies ad.
vertised to cure dyspepsia none Of them
has given SO complete and general satis,
faction as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and not least In importance in these
hard times is the fact that they are also
the cheapest and give the most good for
the least money.

DON'T FORGET

Don't forget that DR.. Jones never
asked for a contract as county phySi-
clan. Remember that Mr.. Swiggett
asked him to take the present con-
tract and that of last year also. (No
one blames him for it either.) Re-
member that Swiggett and Marquand
tried it one quarter without con-
tract and for that quarter the legal
fees were $50 more than the contract
salary for the same time. Remembe
that the services for that quarter
were ordered by township trustees of
different political parties and that
the physicians bills were O. K.'d by
them. 1t was then the commission
erS asked him to renew his contract,
and it was sensible thing to do.
Don't forget that the county saves
money by it. Don't forget that this
occurred before Jones got OlSon's
imaginary collar on Hinshaw's neck.
Remember that the contract price
has been reduced since HinShaw came
on the board. Remember that Honor
able Dock Jones' saved young OlSOn'S
life few months ago when he was
dead drunk on the burning prairie
and did not charge any one any thing
for it. Was that worth $500 or would
a contrary course have been a saving
TO the county? Mr.. Olson, upon which
score do you belabor the doctor? For
which could you be grateful or remain

COUNTY AGENT AGAIN.

1t seems that the Independent eX-
hausted its stock of ''whole cloth"
last week. In this unnatural Situa-
tiOn it has recourse to its lie of last
July, which it re-models and changes
to give it variety. We exposed this
falsehood when it was first published
and our statements have never been
questioned or contradicted. We refer
to it now because many of our present
readers did not see our refutation and
because we are asked to republish it
by one of our leading Populists.
The commissioners did not dis
charge UffOrd as purchasing agent.
( They had never appointed him. He
did not serve for nothing. absolutely.
He served for the advantage of Olson
and to his satisfaction only. Mr..
Cross was appointed January II, but
UtfOrd hung on to the appropriation
of $50 and has never accounted for one
cent of it except to say that it was
all used We made this assertion
July "a, and neither Ufford nor Olson
has ever attempted to deny its truth.
That was not all. Under Ufford there
was a deficit of 50 which had to be
provided for.
Mr.. Cross gave an exact and explicit
account of the $40 appropriated for
except 20 cents. not s14. He placed
this account in the hands of Mr..
SwIggett July 3. and offered to be
sworn to it. Swiggett said it was un-
necessary. 1t was all ''it-i-mized'' eX-
cept so cash in gold which Ufford
used.
The appropriation for the first quar-
ter was at first $50 not $40. Mr.. Cross
never received a cent of it and could
not be held to account for it at the
April meeting. Ufford did handle it
and has never accounted for it.
Neither Swiggett nor Ufford will
deny this in the presence of the other
commissioners.
The Independent OF July II says
these things occurred at the July
meeting. October 23 it says it was at
the April meeting of the commission
ers. The liar has trapped himself.
At the October meeting Ufford was
the only officer not ready with a de-
tailed statement of his expenses for
the quarter and hemmed and hawed
because it was required of him. Mr..
Cross gave an itemiZed and verified
account of the appropriation for the
third quarter. 1t can be seen.
The Independent never asked Mr..
Cross to publish his itemized state
ment and he could not offer it to the
paper with any respect for himself
Ufford did tell Cross that Olson
wanted to see him. He knows where
to find him.
Mr.. Cross has never received one
cent directly or indirectly for his SER
vices as purchasing agent. Olson
claims to- know what he is talking
about. Doubtless he does and when
he wrote that article he knew it was
untrue. He is an adept at that kind
of work There is no mist" hanging
over any one except Ufford and he can
blame no one but himself as he is un-
doubtedly in partnership with his
publisher.
I'm Justice to Mr.. Swiggett" we will
say that he is not outnumbered to 1.
On expense accounts the vote has
been to O.
This is a frank and non-evaSive an
swer. 1t is the truth and Ge invite
voters to compare it with the records
