A SIMPLE HARMLESS REMEDY
Yet 1t Cures the Worst Cases of Dys
pepsia and Indigestion.

DR.. Jennison. who has made a life
study of stomach troubles, says: All
forms of Indigestion really amount to
the same thing. that is, failure to com
pletely digest the food eaten; no matter
whether the trouble is acid dyspepsia
or sour stomach. belching of wind,
nervous dyspepsia or loss of flesh and
appitite; a person will not have n Of
them if the stomach can be induced by
any natural. harmless way to digest
what is eaten. and this can be done by
a simple remedy which | nave 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 ard al
lowed to dissolve in the mouth and
mingling with the food in the stomach
digest it completely before it has time
to ferment, decay or sour.
On actual experiment one grain of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
three thousand grains of meat. eggs
and similar wholesome foods.
1t is safe to say if this wholesome
remedy was better known. by people
generally. it would be 4 national bless
ing. as we are a nation OF d~yspeptics
and nine-tenths Of all diseases owe
their origin to imperfect digestion 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 person has
the satisfaction of knowing inst what
he is putting into his stomach. which
he does not know. when widely adver-
tised patent medicines are used.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, full size package fifty cents.

II there were no other kinds Of currency

added to this volume till our share OF
the worlds money was fully made up,

for the silver the greenbacks or the

could not possibly happen, either IN

ple at all times would choose, for con.

II was on this principle that the un-
covered issues Of the banks in England
were allowed TO stand when the act Of

tions say that little or no reserve fund
would be required And if under these
conditions the United States Treasury
would exercise its rightful option to re
deem United States notes in silver dol
lars or in gold as was most convenient,
there would be no run on the Treasury
for gold, nor would the parity OF the

the condition IN France now.

ON A SMALL SHIPMENT
SAME RATE MUST BE GIVEN AS
ON CAR LOAD LOTS.
THE ROADS HAVE INCREASED THE RATE
Now Charging Four Cents Per Hundred POUNDS
More for Small Than for Large Ship
ments of Provisions
and Grain.

For a long time in this State the
freight rate on grain, meal, meat, mo-
lasses, sugar coffee and the like has
been the same for small shipments as
for car load lots.
Recently, however, the railroads of
the United States put into effect new
rate for Interstate shipments, charging
four cents per 100 pounds more or less
than car load lots than was pald on
the same article by the car load.
This has raised a storm of protests
on bhe part of the small shippers in
the State, and during the past few
days many complaints have come in to
the Railroad Commission. Acting up
ON these Maj. Wilson, chairman of the
Commission, yesterday issued circular
ordering all the raMroads in the State
to charge the same rate on less than
car load lots as ON car load lots of all
produce and groceries shipped from one
point to another in the State. This
order goes into effect at once.
This is done in the interest of the
small shippers, to whom the new rate
an increase of four cents per hundred
pounds-works a great hardship.
AS to interstate slhpmenls-tO or
from points out of the Staite-this Com
mission is powerless to regulate them.
Only the Interstate Commerce Conn
mission mas power to fix rates on such
shipments.
