Up to a very recent date consumption
was considered to be an utterly incura-
BILE disease. Even the most learned and
skillful members of the medical profess
sion did not hesitate to acknowledge
their inability to check its ravages or to
effect permanent cure, while the gen.
eral supposition was that every unfor-
tunate, sufferer from the malady was GER
tainly doomed to a more or less speedy
end.
All this has been radically changed
through the discovery by DR.. Charles H.
Whitman of the remedy now known as
Improved Tuberculin." And its use at
the Koch Medical Institute. 529 South
Broadway, this city has fully demonstra-
ted that the old theory was an error-to
say the least-and that certain cure and
prolonged life are the results OF taking
this scien tdfic treatment
Where once discouragement existed,
perfect confidence now holds full sway.
The sufferer from consumption no lon
ger looks forward with dread, but takes
a new lease on life and willingly gives
the credit for the benefitsreceived where
1t rightfully belongs-to the use of I'M
proved Tuberculin."
While it is thus possible to positively
cure consumption, 1t is none the less the
duty of every person having any ten
dency to or symptoms of this dread dis
ease to promptly ascertain just what
hold it has taken upon their system and
to check its progress in the earliest

The Handwriting on the Wall

If the conservative elements in France
had not gone numbering along the old
grooves there would have been no reign
of terror. If the shareholders of the
south had been willing to discuss the
question of slavery, with all the lights
that were before them, there would have
been no secession, with its ruinous con-
sequences. The protected interests
stand just where stood the property in
terests in France in 1888, the slavehold-
ing interests of the south in 1860, and, if
they do not look to it, they will come to
the same deplorable snd.-Louisville

England a Dependent Nation

Englands complete dependence on
foreign cour urtries-chiefy Russia and
America for its food supply has often
been subject of comment, both in
England and this country. 1t is rather
remarkable that this weak position of
England has not cut more of figure
in the diplomacy of the world. 1t may
be safely assumed that, by reason of it,
England's influence in international af-
fairs will grow less and less, unless pow
er can be retained through the mainte-
nance of an English navy equal to the
combined navies of all the other powers
of Europe.-KansaS City Star

FARMERS CLUBS

A new and most promising outcome of
the farmers institute movement of
Southern California-and, so far as we
know it is peculiar to Southern Califor-
nia-is the establishment of farmers
clubs. Effort is made at each institute,
so far with almost universal success, to
organize a club that shall meet monthly
and discuss just such questions as are
considered at the institute. There are
now twenty-seven of these live vigorous
clubs, all doing good, earnest work Some
of these clubs meet in the evening. just
before full moon each month; others
meet in the afternoon. Ladies and gen.
tlemen alike take part. The value of
these clubs in the way of culture, social
fellowship, practical instruction, and in
creating interest in and work for politi-
cal and social reforms, is tremendous.
The influence of the clubs in developing
taste and care of grounds about country
homes and along the roadsides must be
of no small Importance to the future of
our region. The Carpinteria club Sc
cured important legislation the past
winter the Fillmore club secured the
organization of a fruit exchange las;
year. and the Riverside clubs recently
prevailed upon the city fathers" To
undertake systematic street adornment
which is put into the hands of a COM
mittee appointed by the clubs.

the past which have been full of encour-

especially is doing excellent work. Sew
eral of these clubs have committee on
such subjects as experimentation fertil-
ization, entomology, etc. Careful notes
are taken, which are preserved for fu-
ture reference. Several of the clubs
which meet in the evening have a recess
when light refreshments are served and
a good social time enjoyed. I think 1t
is quite common for the clubs to have at

pie remedy which I have tested in hundreds of aggravated cases with complete success. The remedy is a combination of fruit and vegetable es- sences, pure aseptic pepsin and golden seal put up in the form of pleasant tasting tablets and sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. One or two of these tablets should be taken after meals and al lowed to dissolve in the mouth and mingling with the food in the stomach digests it completely before it has time to ferment, decay and sour.
 On actual experiment one grain of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest three thousand grains of meat, eggs and similar wholesome foods.
 It is safe to say if this wholesome remedy was better known by people generally, it would be a national blessing, as we are a nation of dys- peptics and nine-tenths of all diseases owe their origin to imperfect diges- tion and nutrition
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a secret patent medicine, but a fifty cent package will do more real good for a weak stomach than fifty dollars worth of patent medicines and a per- son has the satisfaction of knowing just what he is putting into his stom- ach, which he does not know, when widely advertised patent medicines are used.

THEY RIDICULE IT.
Many People Ridicule the Idea of an Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia and
 Stomach Troubles.

Ridicule, however, is not argument and facts are stubborn things. Stom- ach troubles are so common and in many cases so obstinate to cure that people are apt to look with suspicion on amy remedy claiming to be radical, permanent cure for dyspepsia and in- digestion. Many such pride them selves on their aeuteness in never be- ing hlrmbugged, especially on medi- cines.
 This fear of being humbugged may be carried too far; so far, in fact, that many persons suffer for years with weak digestion rather than risk a lit tie time and money in faithfully tes.- ing the claims of a preparation so re- liable and universally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
 Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different in one important re- spect from ordinary proprietary medi- cines for the reason that they are not secret patent medicine, no secret is made of thieir ingredients, but andy sis shows them to contain the natural digestive ferments, pure aseptic pep sin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrastis and nnx. They are not cathar+tic, neither do they act powerfully on any organ, but they cure indigestion on the common sense plan of digesting the food eaten promptly, thoroughly before it has time to ferment, sour and cause mis- chief. This is the only secret Of their success.
 l Cathartic pills never have and never can cure indigestion and stomach trou. bles because they act entirely upon the bowels, whereas the whole trouble 1 is really in the stomach.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after meals, digest the food. That is all there is to it. Food not digested or half digested is poison as it creates gas, acidfty, headaches, palpitation of the heart, loss of flesn and appetite, and many other troubles which are often called by some other name.
 They are sold by druggists every where at 50 cents per package Ad- ! dress Stuart Co.,, Marshall, Mich, for book on stomach diseases or ask your druggist for it.

These parties also have bond on the Little Jessie, and the encouraging results being met with in the develop ment of this property have induced them to secure the group adjoining.

To those who iharbor an idea that the country of the Yaqui, from whence have come tales of gold discoveries bordering on the marvellous, will af- ford them the nealiZation of their dreams of golden ingots, stacked in stately palaces and lordly castles all their own, the following interview with Ed A. Tolan Of San Bernardtno, who has just left that section and stopped at Yuma several days this week, while on his way home, may prove of interest:
 Mr Dolan left San Bernardino about two weeks ago for the country toward which hundreds of eager for tune hunters are betaking themselves, and his experience brought him back to the lad of the stars and stripes very quickly.
 ''It seems" said Mr Dolan to the Yuma Sun, "that the Yaqui country has enough gold in it to attract a whole lot of people, but the same amount in this country wouldr't take people two miles.
