THEY RIDICULE IT.
MANY PEOPLE RlDlCULE THE IDEA
OF AN ABSOLUTE CURE FOR
DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
TROUBLES.
Rldicule, However, Is Not an Argument, and
Facts Are Stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and in
many cases so obstinate to cure that peo-
pie are apt to look with suspicion on any
remedy claiming to be a radical, perma-
nent cure for dyspepsia and Indigestion.
Many such pride themselves on their
acutcness in never being humbugged, es-
pecially on medicines.
This fear of being humbugged may be
carried too far; so far in fact, that many
persons suffer for years with weak diges-
tion rather than risk a little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims of
preparation so reliable and universally
used as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not a secret pat
ent medicine, no secret Is made of their
ingredients, but analysis shows them to
contain the natural digestive ferments,
pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids,
Golden Seal, bismuth. hydrastis and nuN.
They are not cathartic, neither do they
act powerfully on any organ, but they cure
indigestion on the common sense plan of
digesting the food eaten promptly, thor
oughly before it has time to ferment sour
and cause the mischief. This is the only
secret Of their success.
CathartiC pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles be-
cause they act entirely upon the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble is really in the
stomach
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after
meals, digest the food. That is all there
is to 1t. Food not digested or half digest
ed is poison, as it creates gas, acidity,
headaches, palpitation of the heart, loss of
flesh and appetite, and many other trou-
bles which are often called by some other
name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
of tg Oh a -
Co. for book on stomach diseases or ask
| your druggist for it.

An Overhauling Needed.

When Dorsey Foultz killed u man on
Decoration day In the second police pre-
cinct and made good his escape the event
was generally viewed by the public as re-
fectine only slightIy upon the police of
that precinct: they might perhaps, have
been unfortunate in q single instance and
public criticism was more or less tempered
by the peculiar circumstances Of the crime.
When later Tim Hurley made a vicious
assault upon an aged colored man In the
same vicinity and got away without arrest
the faith In the efficiency OF the police of
tkis precinct began to wane; the coinci-
dence was too marked to admit Of much
liberation. When day before yesterday
Patrick Carr committed a horrible crime
with a child as his victim and was left un-
molested by the police Of this same rre-
cinct suspicion began to develop into the
settled conviction that there Is something
radically wrong in at least one Of the city's
police divisions. The circumstances Ct the
crime and the Indications Of the negligence
of the police appear in the news columns
of yesterdays and today's issue Of The
Star. They show that through the lack Of
either intelligence or discipline or both no
report was made Of this heinous offense
until the criminal had ample opportunity
to leave the city. Though as well known
to the police as to the friends Of the VIC
tim. he was not pursued until nearly a day
after he had done his dastardly work.
For several hours two policemen walked
their beats in this precinct with full knowi-
edge Of the crime and the criminal and did
rot report the circumstances 10 their sta
tion. When they met their sergeant In
the night they told him casually of the
case. Even then no report was made, and
It was not until after midnight. over seven
hours after the affair. that even q brief
note of the case was entered on the station
house books. and It was many hours later
before the full machinery Of the police de-
partment was put IN operation to apprs-

Receipts Under the New Law.

There Is reason to believe that the sill
yer men will construe the promise as to
the new tariff law as they did the promise
as to republican success in the national
election. That IS to say. they will insist
on immediate results to Justify the claims
put forth.
No sooner had the votes been counted in
November than the silver men began to
urge that the promised revival Of prosperity
must set in. They pretended to be greatly
disappointed. They characterized every
commercial failure announced as giving the
lie to the sound money propaganda They
argued as If the country had been assured
Of a general revival of business in twenty
four hours There had, of course, been no
such assurances given. 1t was known that
time would be necessary to develop the
fruits of republican victory: that after so
long a period Of disaster and unrest re-
cuperation would necessarily be slow But
time Is fulfilling the promise Prosperity
Is returning. Business is reviving. Prices
are good and still on the up grade. The
wisdom Of last years decision at the polls
is now past all serious question.
The silver men will now turn their atten-
ton to the new tariff law. They will in
sist that from the very outset 1t must JUS
THY itself. The receipts, they will contend,
must take an immediate bound. and tIi
the treasury. AS a matter of fact, the new
law Is likely to yield its smallest returns
during the first six months of it's operations
Anticipatory imports have been hurried in
until the warehouses are piled with enor-
nous stocks. 1t will take time to work
these off. and during this time the receipts
from customs will necessarily be reduced.
But that the new law, once the conditions
become normal again, will justify itself Is
an assurance resting upon the careful cal
culations Of both statesmen and business
experts. and may be accepted without
reservation by the country. The govern
ment will receive money enough under 1t
for its comfortable support, and American
labor and Industries protection enough un-
der 1t to give impetus to activity
throughout the land.
The silver men are pulling against a ris-
ing tide; and 1t Is a strange commentary
on their attitude and organisation that
those things which carry the greatest COM
fort to the country carry the greatest dis
cOuragement to themselves.

The President and True Reform.

It was freely PREDICTED among the poll
ticians q few weeks ago that as soon as
Congress had adjourned President Mckin-
ley would issue orders that would result
in throwing back into the spoils grab-bag
a large number Of the government places
included in the classified service by Mr..
Cleveland. The place hunters were caused
to believe that this step was to mark the
beginning Of disintegratton of the civil
service reform system and that soon again
the good old times of rush and scramble
for the places without regard to fitness
would return and the departments would
be put back on their former unbusinesslike
basis.
The Star did not credit these statements.
1t expressed the belief that the President
would stand firm in his resistance to the
pressure for place and would sustain his
former reputation as q friend Of civil
service reform. That he has amply justt-
fed this faith Is shown by the order issued
by him today. which. while exempting
from examination the cashiers and q few
other officers of trust. extends the classified
service in the custom houses, 50 as to in
clude all the ports without regard to tho
number of clerks employed. and which pro-
mulgates a rule as to removals that stands

An unaeniahle benefit.

Whatever may be urged against either
the principle or effects of the new tar1n
bill. the m. st persistent fault-finder must
admit that 1t has at least one redeeming
feature The clause imposing duty on
wearing apparel exceeding one hundred dol
lars in value will have the effect of reduc-
ing the quantity of ili-f1tting European
made clothing brought into the country
every year by returning tourists or import
ed for the use Of callow Angiomaniacs. A
result SO beneficent must surely commend
itself to all right-thinking people. The
only mistake in the bill. on that point. Is
that 1t exempts even a hundred dollars
worth. But for this relief much thanks. -
