A PECULIAR FACT.
Thousands of People Have Dys-
pepsia in Its Worst Form and
Do Not Know 1t.

A weak stomach is the cause of about
nine-tenths of all disease, yetin most cases
the wrong thing is treat ed and the true
cause overlooked
This is because a weak digestion pro-
duces systoms resembling nearly every
disease becauseit it wea kens and dsturhs the
action of every nerve and organ in the
tody; poor digestion causes heart trouble,
kidney trouble, lung weakness and es-
pecially nervous break down or nervous
prostration; the nerves cannot stand the
wear and tear unless generously fed by
well digested wholesome food.
Keep the digestion good and no one need
fear the approach of disease.
Mrs. H. NJ Lee of Rochester, NJ Y.
writes: For the sake of suffering htI-
manity want to say that from a child
had a very weak stomach, threw up my
food very often after eating, and after a
few years nervous dyspepsia resulted, and
for more than, twenty years / have suf-
fered ineXpresSibly.
/ tried many physicians and advertised
remedies with only temporary relief for
nervous dyspepsia, and not until j COM
meaced taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
last September, six months ago, have /
been free from suffering caused by the
condition of my nerves and stomach; in
short, chronic nervous dyspepsia.
| have recommended Stuaru's dyspepsia
IailtbS 10 many Ol my ITleUOS ana now L
want, in n public way, to say they are
the safest, pleasantest, and, 1 believe,
surest cure for stomach and nerve troubles
/ write my honest opinion, and / viii
gladly answer any letter of inquiry at any
time, and feel that am, in my small way,
helping on a good cause.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is not a
patent medicine but they contain only
the fruit salts, digestive acids and pep
tones necessary to help the weak stomach
to promptly and thoroughly digest food
Ali druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets at so cents for full sized package, and
anyone suffering from nervous dyspepsia,
sour stomach, headaches, acidity, gases,
belching, etc, viii find them rot only
quick relief but radical cure
Send to Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich,
for little book describing cause and cure
of stomach troubles, giving symtops and
treatment OF the various forms of indiges-
ton.

TO DEpoRT IMMORAL WOMEN.
An Important Order Issued by the
Secretary of the Treasury.

Secretary Gage yesterday directed Col.
Stump, the commissioner general or fmIni-
grafton to cause the arrest and dep0rta-
tion OF all alien women who upon their
arrivalin the United tates went to houses
of ill-fame.
The first arrests will be In Chicago and
they will be made test cases.
Heretofore the bureau Of immigration
has secured the conviction of persons inn
porting prostitutes. Recently cases were
reported of alien women entering the United
states for immoral purposes The facts
were reported to Secretary Gage. and he
asked the Solicitor of the Treasury for
an opinion as TO whether those that came
of their own volition could be deported.
The solicitor held that those who came
under contract could be arrested and de-
ported on the Secretary's warrant, con-
firming the practice of the previous Ad-
ministration. He also thought that alien
women voluntarily coming without solici
tation to ply their trade could also be de-
ported, but he advised a test case to be
made.
The solicitor found statute which he
thinks gives the Government full authority
to make arrests and cause depOrtatiOns.

Immediately set about realizing their

sugar mounting strongly upward after
a preliminary decline to the extent Of
almost three points. There was very
heavy speculation in this stock during
the day, sales amounting to one-third
of all sales, or over 100000 shares, and
it's price closed unchanged from Satur-
day. There was some buying for the
London account on the decline to cover
contracts made in London at the early
higher level and this also helped to
steady the market.
The early weakness soon overlook it,
net declines reaching to near point
in many leading stocks and exceeding
that in special cases. AS result or
the lively realizing movement and the
active speculation in sugar, sales or
stocks ran up to near 100000 shares
before noon, figure in excess of any
total days trading for several weeks.
The continued strength of the sterling
exchange market attracts much atten-
ton in view of the status OF the inter
national balances. Posted rates were
advanced u cent for both long and
short sterling. There Is feeling that
the investment buying of long exchange,
the leaving of funds due on balance on
interest abroad and the arrivals of gold
at San Francisco from Australia, are
not sufficient combined to account for
the strength Of exchange, and that there
is much heavier selling Of high class
American securities by European hold
ers for transfer to this side Of the water
than appears The high level Of prices
for this grade Of securities goes to con-
VIZ Nbn
crease in the loans OF clearing house
banks, amounting to over S14,000, 900,
as shown in Saturdays bank statement
is also being closely scrutinized. The
explanation that the increase was con-
nected with the Union Pacific commit
tees payment to the government does
not entirely cover the ground as the
expansion Of loans previous to November
20 was already sufficient to account for
that operation and was attributed to it.
Saturdays statement seems to indicate
that the payment to the government
which was left on deposit in the banks,
had already been Immediately replaced
in loans. AS the Union Pacific reorgani-
cation committee was supposed to have
already secured all needed funds before
last Mondays payment to the govern
ment, it is difficult to accoun for this
large absorption OF money in view Of
the known condition Of the money mar
ket. demand for money being very dull
