When a person begins to grow thin
there is something wrong. The waste
is greater than the supply and it is
only question of time when the end
must come.
In nine cases out of ten the trouble
is with the digestive organs. If you
can restore them to healthy condi-
ton you Will stop the waste, put on
new flesh and cause them to feel bet
ter in every way. The food they eat
will be digested and appropriated to
the needs of the system, and normal
appetite will appear.
Consumption frequently follows a
wasting of bodily tissue because near
ly all consumptives have Indigestion.

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


Food.
Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs of
certain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of
disease and death (called by scientists
Ptomalnes) are usually the results of
imperfect digestion of food the result
of indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly di-
gest the food. The result Is heavy,
sodden mass which ferments(the first
process of decay poisoning the blood,
making it thin, weak, and lacking in
red corpuscles; poisoning the brain
causing headaches and PAIN in the
eyes.
Bad digestion irrltates the heart,
causing palpltation and finally bring
ing on disease of this very important
organ.
Poor digestion pOisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is 30 because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal,
and weak digestion shows itself not
only in loss of appetite and flesh, but
iD weak nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley,
ha l,fo
stomach. Weak stOmachs fail to dI-
gest foods properly, because they lack
the proper quantity of digestive acids
(lactic and hydrochloric) and pepto-
genie products; the most sensible
remedy in all cases of Indigestion, is
to take after each meal, one or two of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because
they supply in pleasant, harmless
form all the elements that weak stom-
achs lack.
The regular use of StuarU's Dyspep-
sia Tablets will cure every form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
| They increase flesh, insure pure
blood, strong nerves, bright eye and
clear complexion, because all these
result only from wholesome food well
digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets at 80 cents full sized
package or by mail by enclosing price

MART ANDERSON'S NOTE
ANOTHER CHAPTER IN THE BOARD
OF WORKS AFFAIRS.
Mayor Held the Obligation of One of
His AppOintees-IIis Celebrity in
Dropping Austin.

Yesterday the fact developed that Mayor
Taggart had another excellent reason for his
anxiety to accept the resignation of Edward
A. Austin, Democratic member of the Board
of Public Works, a year ago. This reason
had nothing to do with the public welfare
but it had something to do with Mr.. Tag
CARTS private welfare, nor was it any re-
Election upon Mr.. Austins character. The
only reflection upon Mr. Austin's character
was the stigma thrown upon him by the
Taggart administration for the work he had
done in behalf of Colonel Downing, presi-
dent of the Board of Public Works. He
had been member of the Council and a
business man for many years.
The cause of Mayor Taggart's anxiety
was bit of paper bearing the signature
of Martin Anderson and promising to pay
to the Democratic county committee, it's
heirs or assigns $1,000. Mr.. Taggart was
the committees assignee. In 1894, when
Martin Anderson was candidate for sheriff
on the Democratic ticket, he was only able
to pay small proportion of his assessment
in cash, and for the balance he gave a
note for $1,000. This note was taken by
Mr.. Taggart in part payment for money
that he had advanced to the committee
Mr.. Anderson was not elected and the pros
poets of the note ever being paid We're very
slender.
When the trouble that resulted in Austins
resignation arose Mr.. Taggart was struck
with an idea. Austins resignation would
leave room for him to appoint Anderson,
at salary of $1,000 a year, and Anderson
would then be able to take up this note, 1t
was a bright idea and the result is history.
Austins resignation was accepted and An
derson was appointed Whether or not the
note has been paid-but that is another
story"

WON FIRST, LOST SECOND.
Indianapolis Yesterday Duplicated
Its Work of Monday at Detroit.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal
DETROIT, Sept 21.-The Hoosiers and
the Tigers played seesaw to-day. Watkins's
men taking the first game by a score of
8 to 8, and Graves's men the second by a
score of to T. 1t was the grand final and
the players celebrated the close of the sea-
son by easing up good bit in their work.
''joshing' the umpire and exchanging cen
fidences with the ''bleachers." Phillips
started the fun by going out on the slab
with a big pipe in his mouth and pitching
the first inning while putting away content
eddy. In all the four games of the series
just closed the Tigers have outbatted the
Hoosiers. but they have lost the first one
each day on errors of costly stripe.
The first game to-day found a local
amateur named Steiber ON trial for Detroit
in the box. He was hit freely the first two
innings, but the rottenness of his support
sufficient explanation, not one of the
visitors runs being earned After that he
did very we'll. Phillips managed to keep
the Tigers hits scattered until the ninth,
when five successive singles only Melted two
runs. The HOLSTERS support was errorless,
while Steinfeldt was away off for Detroit
and Burnett made two bad breaks.
The second game came near being another
shut-out for the champions. Thomas had
held them to four little singles in many
different innings until the ninth, when two
doubles and two singles, aided by Stein
feldt's break, the only error by Detroit
brought in four runs. 1t was grand-stand
finish, but Detroit was too far ahead They
found Kellum quite a little toward the close
and were aided by costly breaks by Kahoe
and Hogriever. The latter took Gray'S
place at third in the eighth, when Motz
benched Gray for failing to cover third.

NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
A Positive cure for Dyspepsia.

This may read as though we were putting
it little strong because 1t Is generally
thought by the majority OF people that
dyspepsia in its chronic form is incurable.
or practically so. But we have long since
showed that dyspepsia is durable, nor is it
such a difficult matter as at first appears.
The trouble with dyspeptics is that they
are continually dieting. starving themselves
ing the already overburdened stomach with
bitters," after dinner pills. etc. which
invariably increase the difficulty even if in
! some cases they do give slight temporary
relief. Such treatment Of the stomach SIM
ply makes matters worse. What the
stomach wants is rest. Now how can the
stomach become rested, recuperated and at
the same time the body nourished ana sus-
tanned.
This is the great secret and this is also
| the secret of the uniform success of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. This is a comparatively
new remedy, but its success and popularity
leaves no doubt as to it's merits.
The Tablets will digest the food anyway,
regardless of condition of stomach
The sufferer from dyspepsia, according to-
directions, is to eat an abundance of good
wholesome food and use the tablets before
and after each meal, and the result win be-
that the food will be digested, no matter
how bad your dyspepsia may be- because,
as before stated the tablets will digest the
food even If the stomach is wholly inactive.
10 illustrate our meaning plainly, if you
take l,S00 grains of meat, eggs or ordinary
food and place it in a temperature of nine
ty-eight degrees and put with it one of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets it will digest the
meat or eggs almost as perfectly as il tho
meat was inclosed within the stomach
The stomach may be ever so weak yet
these tablets will perform the work of oi-
gestion and the body and brain will be prf.s-
erly nourished and at the same time a. radi-
CAL lasting cure of dyspepsia will be made
because the much abused stomach will be-
given to some extent a much-aeeded rest.
Your druggist will tell you that Of the many
remedies advertised to cure dyspepsia none
OF them has given so complete and general
satisfaction as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
and not least in Importance in these bard
times is the fact that they are also the
cheapest and give the most good for the
least money
