furnished splendid material for fires

Guatemalan Government Finds this Action
Necessary.

Washington, oct. 1.-THE Guate-
malan legation has received an official
cable confirming the reports that the
government forces had recaptured
the city of Que2altenango, taken some
time ago by the rebels,and adding that
the uprising was now practically end
ed. a band of the rebels are going to-
ward San Marco, pursued by the gov
eminent forces.
The government, 1t is stated at the
legation, has now re-established itself
in all of the twenty-five departments
of the country, and peace is restored
save in the small district to which the
rebel band and has taken flight. 1t Is
felt by the authorities that the rebel
lion is over, and that normal conditions
will speedily be restored in the coun-
try.
The legation adxices show that
President Barrios has not assumed
dictatorship, as reports have stated,
and the fact Is that martial law. ac-
Cording to the constitution, was pro-
claimed i'm order to suppress the re-
bellion, and now that it is practically
ended, it is believed that the martial
law will give way at an early day to
the usual procedure.

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its EI.

Common soda is all right in its place
and Indispensable in the kitchen and
for cooking and washing purposes, but
II was never intended for a medicine,
and people who use II as such will some
day regret 1t.
We refer to the common use of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a
habit which thousands of people prac-
tice almost daily, and one which is
fraught with danger; moreover the
soda only gives temporary relief and in
the end the stomach trouble gets worse
and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irri-
tant TO the walls Of the stomach and

death by Inflammation or peritonitis.
DR.. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia) an excellent prepara-
tlon sold by druggists under the name
OF Stuarts Dypepsia Tablets. These
tablets are large 90 grain lozenges, very
pleasant to taste and contain the nat
urai acids. peptones and digestive eie-
ments essential to good digestion, and
when taken after meals they digest the
food perfectly and promptly before 1t
has time to ferment, sour and poison
the blood and nervous system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases Of stomach arrangements and
finds them certain cure not only for
sour stomach, but by promptly digest
