MEMORIAL DAY IN MEXICO.
The American G. A u. Post Puts "a
Wreath on "a Shaft at ChapuItepec.

Wreath on "a Shaft at ChapuItepec.
Mexico City, Mex, May SO-Mexican pa
pers give full accounts of the interesting
Memorial day ceremony on the part of
American residents and local Grand Army
of the Republic Post consisting of the
decoration of the graves of soldiers of
the war of 1s47 at the American cemetery.
The monument to the cadets who died at
Chapultepec in resisting the American at
tack on that castle, was also decorated
with wreaths.
Gen. Clayton the American minister,
had previously sounded the Mexican gov
eminent and found it had no objection to
the sympathetic act. There is general
approval of the courtesy and the graceful
action of the Mexican army officials, who
decorated the graves of the American
soldiers. 1t was the first reciprocal act
of the kind and has served to make more
cordial the friendship already existing be-
tween Americans livingin Mexico and the
Mexican people.
Gen. Clayton made strong impression
on his auditors by his address regarding
arbitration as a mode of settling interna-
tional disputes. He said: 1--WE should
not allow ourselves to be lulled to sleep
by dreams of arbitration as a panacea for
all the troubles between nations. i be-
lieve that all the secondary questions of
this character should be so settled, but
when it comes to national honor and pre-
servation of our territory and our liber-
ties l, for one am unwilling to place in
the hands of any one man the settlement
of such questions. 1 say any one man,
because it practically amounts to that,
for an equal number of arbitrator chosen
by each nation will naturally stand by
their own country, right or wrong, which
leaves the odd arbitrator sole power to
cast the scale for this side or that. 1t
would doubtless be very pleasing for pow
erful nations of Europe. that are always
armed to the teeth, to have US disarmed
and rely upon arbitration to settle the
question. But history has shown that
the safest manner for nations to avoid
war is to be prepared for it."

PECULIAR POlSONS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY.
The Result of Imperfect Digestion
of Food.

AtCHuAN VI
of Food.
Every living thing. plant or animal. con-
tains within itself the germs of certain
decay and death.
In the human body these germs of dis
ease and death called by scientists Pto-
maines) are usually the results of imper-
feet digestion of food; the result of indi-
gestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly digest
the food. The result is a heavy, sodden
mass which ferments 0he first process
of decay, poisoning the blood, making
it thin, weak, and lacking in red corpus
cles; poisoning the brain, causing head
aches and pain In the eyes.
Bad digestion irrtates the heart, causing
palpitation, and finally bringing on disease
of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ, ev-
cry nerve depends upon the stomach alone
for nourishment and renewal. and weak
digestion shows itself not only in loss of
appetite and flesh, but in weak nerves and
muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley, said
the best start in life is a sound stomach
Weak stomachs fail to digest food prop
erly, because they lack the proper guam
tity of digestive acids Qactic and hydro
chloric) and peptogenic products; the
most sensible remedy in all cases of in
digestion is to take after each meal one
or two of STARTS Dyspepsia Tablets, be-
cause they supply in a pleasant, harmless
form all the elements that weak stomachs
lack
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh. insure pure blood
strong nerves. a bright eye and clear com
plexion, because all these result only from
wholesome food well digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets at 90 cents full sized package
or by mail by enclosing price to Stuart
Co, Marshall, Mich, but ask your drug

Appointed Postmaster.

On the 9th inst, President Mckinley appointed MT ). Henry Roraback post master at Canaan, but Mir Roraback does not expect to take possession of the office until about the 1st of Decem- Der.
 Postmaster Camp and his assistants have faithfully and efficiently discharg- ed their duties, and have promptly and courteously served the patrons of the office, nevertheless g change of adminis- tration at Washington, D. O., is almost invariably followed by change of post masters throughout the country.
 We congratulate Mir Roraback on ob- taining plum which few, if any, would refuse to accept. We know that Mir Roraback will be good postmaster, and we sreipleased to state that he deslres to retain the present assistants; never theless as one of his predecessors the writer hopes that the same forbearance and consideration be shown MT Rora- back that have been accorded his pre- decessors. The duties and responsibili- ties of postmaster at Canaan are not light; Canaan enjoys better postal facili- ties than many larger places, and of course that involves much care and la bor, but we think that as rule Canaan has been favored with good postmasters.
