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

DIR. Jennison, who has made life study
of stomach troubles, says: All forms or
indigestion really amount to the same
thing-that Is, failure to completely d.
gest the food eaten; no matter whether
the trouble is acid dyspepsia or sour
stomach belching of wind, nervous dys-
pepsia, or loss Of flesh and appetite;
person will not have any OF them II the
stomach can be induced by any natural,
harmless way to thoroughly digest what
Is eaten, and this can be done by sim
pie remedy, which l have tested In hum
dreds of aggravated cases with complete
success. The remedy is a combination
of fruit and vegetable essences. 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
~ these tablets should be taken after
meals and allowed TO dissolve In the
mouth. and mingling with the food In the
stomach. digests IL completely before IL
has time to ferment. decay. and sour
On actual experiment, one grain or
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
three thousand grains OF meat, eggs, ana
similar wholesome foods.
II Is safe TO say IL this wholesome
remedy was better known by people gene
rally II would be national blessing. as
we are a nation OF dyspeptics. and nine
tenths of all diseases owe their orisia
to imperfect digestion and nutrition
stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are not a
secret patent medicine. but a 50 cent pack
age Will do more real good for weak
stomach than fifty dollars worth OF pa
tent medicines, and a person has the sat
isfaction In knowing just what he Is
putting into his stomach, which he does
not know when widely advertised patent
medicines are used.

Tablets, full-sized packages 50 cents.

THE PICKER MUTINEERs.'
Anderson Has "A Long Conference
With His Counsel.

NORFOLK, VA, November 2-(Spe-
cial)-John Anderson. the cook Of the
Inflated Boston schooner, Olive Pecker,
who is charged with the murder of both
the captain and mate of that vessel, was
taken from the city Jail to-day to the
office of the United States Commissioner.
where he had a long conference with
Mr. George Mcintosh. whom Judge
Hughes, of the Federal Court, has ap-
pointed as his counsel.
A special grand jury has been sum-
moned for the 18th instant to consider
the case, the regular November term OF
the District Court having consumed only
one day, thus giving ample time to try
the Anderson case here, instead OF taxing
1t to Alexandria.
In connection with the case little IN
cident occurred between District-Attorney
William H. White and Mr.. T. j. Morris,
counsel for all the mutineers excep. An
derson. Mr.. Morris, 1t appears, had not
been permitted TO see his clients when
he desired. which caused him tn make
remarks about the District Attorneys
way of dealing with the case. These ut
terances, he explained to-day to Judge
Hughes. were not meant to be Offensive
TO Mr.. White.

Life In Great C,tiea.

And as to the tendency of the growth
Of great cities to enervate nations, there
is no proof of it at all unless we identi-
fy the life Of great cities with the pas
sion for idleness and pleasure and self
indulgence, which sometimes, but by
no means universally, accompanies their
growth. When you get large prof.
etariat living, as that of ancient Rome
and possibly Of Nineveh and Babylon
did, on the aims of the rich and power
full, then no doubt you have the cond1-
tions of thoroughly unnatural and I'M
healthful life, and no one can wonder at
the rapid decay of such cities and OF
the nations which gloried in them. But
where the honest working class far out
number the proletariat, where the mlc-
die classes of distributors and manufao-

element of danger and necessary vigil
