1t is rotten shame that we can not

three hours in line for my mail at

cruelty as men manifest here is ter

they could not pull any more than a

and sticks. One fellow borrowed my
cane for minute, l did not know he
was going to use it on his dog, l tried
to force it from him and he struck me
with it. l whipped out my knife and
cut his dogs loose from his sled. You

THE PROBLEM SOLVED
THE NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY
TESTED.
Results of the Test in Varions Forms

Results of the Test in Varions Form,
Of Dyspepsia.
Chronic indigestion or dyspepsia
while very common trouble, has fol
some time been looked upon by able
physicians as serious thing,and that
no time should be lost in treating il
properly at the start, because recent
researches have shown that the most
serious, fatal and incurahle diseases
have their origin In simple dyspepsia
or Indigestion.
Diabetes is simply one form of
Indigestion, the sugar and starchy
food not being assimilaued by the di-
gestive organs. In Brights disease
the albumen is not properly assimi-
lated.
While consumption and dyspepsia
are twin diseases, and it IS beyond
question that dyspepsia makes fer
tile soil for the seeds of consum ption.
Butthe trouble has been to find a
remedy that could be depended upon
to cure dyspepsia, as 1t is notoriOusly
obstinate and difficult to cure.
This has been the question which
has puzzled physicians and dyspeptics
alike, until the question was solved
three years ago by the appearance of a
new dyspepsia cure in the medical
world known as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, which it was claimed was as
certain, reliable cure for every form
of stomach trouble.
Physicians however, would not ac-
cept such statements without first
giving the new remedy many tests
aud carefully observing results.

the country and with surprising and

Capt. John G. Gresham, Seventh cavai-
ny, Il. S. A., and Military Instructor at
the A. and NJ. College, has been appoint
cd TO muster the State troops into the
United States service when they come
here next Saturday.
The operation of mastering the men
of the National Guard into the service
of the United States has been described
as follows:
''The function will be carried on by
officers designated by the War Depart
men for the purpose. A certain amount
of latitude allowed the men when in Il
State encampment win, of course. nc
entirely done away with when they are
mustered into the service of the govern
ment They are then under the rigid
rules Of the government. and will meet
the same treatment that is accorded to
regulars.
The volunteers and miltiamen mus
tered in will come under this head. and
will take, with uplifted hand. the oath
TO support the Constitution of the United
States. The manner of administering
the oath will not differ in form from that
required Of the civilian volunteer.
when the mastering in is to take
place the men are required TO take their
positions in the field and each captain
must have his muster rolls prepared.
-Four copies of this are required. One
is retained by the Captain, one goes
to the Adjutant General of the Army
one to the Paymaster General of the
Army. and one TO the Adjutant General
Of the State.
.'The officers of the Guard will have
nothing to do with the process of mus
tering in the men, as this will be the
duty of regular officers appointed for
the pupose.
The work of mastering in the troops
will not interfere with Capt. Gresham's
duties at the A. and NJ. College.
He will probably receive his commits
sion and instructions this morning. As
soon as he does he viii report to Gov
