Wells, Richardson & Co.:
Gentlemen-It gives me pleasure to say
that Paine's celery compound has proved
of inestimable benefit to me at different
times, when the labors incident to my
work and the nervous strain following
arduous work in campaigns had taxed
mo physically. With the thousands OF
other mental workers. who have been
benefited by it, can recommend 1t as a
great restorative and builder.
Yours truly,

REVENUES FOR THE WAR.
Bond Issue and Internal Revenue Tax
Would Be Necessary.
ESPECIAL TO THE pREss.l

Washington, March lin connection
with the excitement about our relations
with Spain the question of revenue has
been considered somewhat The new
tariff bill is now working most salts
factorily and is producing revenues at o
rate that proves that the period of deficits
is over. We have now revenues enough
to pay the expenses in time Of peace and
yield comfortable surplus besides. But
In case of war there would have to be
war taxes, and the question has been
raised as to how they can be most easily
raised. 1t is estimated that abundant
revenues for a war could be raised By
taxes on tea, coffee and beer. These three
articles would pour into the treasury
abundant resources for great struggle,
aud the country would not feel the bur-
den greatly. Probably bonds would have
to be issued as no system Of revenue
would be likely to pay the expenses Of
war year by year. We are still paying for
the War of the Rebellion, and although
that struggle closed over thirty years ago
we are paying out more than one hundred
anu ulIy ulllIOu uOlltfS 0uuttblly Ou dC-
count of 1t. We are still paying for the
war Of 1918, for the war with Mexico;
and even for the Revolutionary war to a
slight extent Going to war is not like
going to picnic or a circus; and a
nation goes on paying the cost of admis-
sion long after the show is over.
The ways and means committee have
had unoer consideration the bill for the
reorganization of the customs district of
the country, and have already given one
hearing on the subject. This is the bill
that would effect so extensively consoli-
dation of the Maine districts. 1t is very
doubtful whether the committee report
the bill at this session or even during this
Congress. ~
Chairman Dingley of the ways and
means committee has appointed Mr..
Everett Norton of Pennington assistant
clerk of the ways and means committee
at salary of $500 year. This is the
place formerly held by the late Major e.

DIR. MuRTHs OPINION
OF the New Discovery in Medicine
4 Remarkably Successful Remedy for
Dyspepsia. Indigestion and stomach
Troubles

DR. wurth. in commenting on recent DIS
coveries in medicine. said: There isuone
which Is certain to be so valuable and flr
reaching in benefit as Stunrt's Dyspepsia
Tablets. the new stomach remedy, l say
far reaching. because people little realize
how important n sound stomach and Wig
orous digestion IS TO every man. woman
and child
Indigestion Is the starting point Of con-
sumption. heart disease Brlghts disease
diabetes. nervous prnstratlon liver troub-
les; why Is this so? Simply because every
nerve. muscle and tissue in our bodies Is
created and nourished from the food we
eat. II that food IS. by reason OF q weak
stomach. compelled 20 De for hours a
sour. fermenting mass OF half dicasted
food. II poisons the blood and nervous
system. creates gas which dlstends the
stomach and bowels. causing pressure on
the heart. lungs and other organs and
seriously impeding their action.
He says further. the point 20 direct at
tention Is not the nerves, nor heart. nor
lungs nor kidneys. but the stomach, the
FIRST cause OF all the mischief.
The remedy to use for indigestion and
weak stomachs is not some cathartic, but
a remedy which will digest the food, in
crease the flow OF gastric Juice, absorb the
gasses, and 5tuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
will accomplish exactly this result in any
case Of stomach trouble. because these
tablets are composed OF :he digestive
acids, aseptic pepsin, Golden Seal and
Blsmuth. pleasant TO taste, and not being
a patent medicine. can be used by any
one with perfect safety. / believe Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets will cure any
form OF indigestion and stomach trouble
except cancer Of stomach.
Full size packages Of stuarrs Dyspep-
sia Tablets are sold by druggists at 81
cents. A book on stomach diseases to-
gether with thousands Of testimonials
will be sent by addressing Stuart Com
pany, Marshall. Mich.
