What IL the first cause of nine-tenths
Of all disease?
Imperfect digestion OF food.
Why does imperfect digestion cause
disease OF other organs?
Because blood. nerves, muscles, bone
n flesh are derived from the food we
eat and digest. IL digestion is perfect
the blood Ii pure. nerves and muscles
strong, flesh firm. II the digestion is
poor, the blood is supplied from half
digested. fermenting food. irritating
every nerve m organ. The result is.
sooner or later. organic disease. because
every organ being poorly nourished the
weakest gives way first and we have
liver trouble. kidney complaints. heart
disease or consumption.
Ii not dieting the usual and best
treatment to cure indigestion?
No, because h dyspeptic has been
starved long enough what Is needed
IL abundant nourishment. not the lack
Of II. The stomach n blood demand
nutriment. not IRA
What IL the best method of cure?
Plenty of wholesome food well d.
gested.
But how can a weak tomac digest
plenty of wholesome food?
By taking with the food after each
meal certain harmless remedies which
are known to digest foo and thus
nourish the blood n rest the weak
stomach.
What are these harmless remedies?
The most valuable are vegetable fer
ments. pure pepsin. Golden Seal and
fruit salts. All OF these are now con-
bied In the form OF pleasant tasting
tablets sold by druggists under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Are these tablets superior to the var
ious liquid preparations SO called dys-
pepsia cure?
Most decidedly, because ali liquid
medicines become stale with age and
lose whatever good qualities they may
have had originally. while the tablet re-
tains its properties indefinitely. Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets can be carried In the
pocket. always at hand ready for use
when travelling or at daily occupation.
They cost but so cents and should be
kept IN every family. They keep the
digestion perfect and save DOCTORS bills
by warding of disease.
Are Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
adapted to all forms of dyspepsia?
Yes, because In all cases the trouble
results from indigested. fermenting
food. stuarf's Dyspepsia Tablets cause

opinion rendered by the attorney gen.
eral to-day. 1t appears that in Fergus
county, County Attorney head and
n or two other county officers belong
to the company recently organized at
Lewistown. Like the balance OF the
Montana National Guard they are en-
thusiastic over the prospect of active
service and are anxious to go to the
front. To-day the county attorney tel
~egraphed the attorney general TO as
certain whether an enlistment and alb
sence from the state would create a
vacancy in his office. In reply the at
torney genera holds that a acanc
would be created. In substance Mr..
Nolan says hat the president is the
commander-in-chief of the army and
navy and the militia in active service.
n the authority is expressly conferred
upon the president to call into service
the militia in the case of the invasion
of the United States or TO suppress an
Indian uprising.
There is some question as to the right
of the president under the present cir
oumstances to call into service the "a
tional militia, no invasion Of the United
States existing OF threatened. Pre-
sumably, owing to this uncertainty as
to the authority of the president under
the law as IL exists to call into service
the national militia. the enlistment Is
made voluntary. Besides this, the civ
IL officers of the state of Montana are
exemp Of military duty, so that IL coun-
~ officers enlist and serve, their doing
so is voluntary. and not compulsory.
Section 326 is not qualified by any
modification or exception. and il pro-
vides that "a county officer must in no
case absent himself from the state for
a period of more than so days. and for
no period without the consent Of the
board of county commissioners. and IL
he so absents himself he f~orfeits his Of
flee
II is manifest under this language
that a vacancy I'm a county office when
an absence such as is provided for would
occur. could be declared by the board
of county commissioners.
The criticism heard of the number of
men represented in the Montana call
as compared with other states from the
standpoint of comparative population.
is believed to be answered by the state
ment that the number of eligibles I'm
this state is greater I'm proportion to the
population than In any other state of
the union. General brennan says that.
according to the latest statistics. there
are 81, 3S1 men i'm this state between II
and A.. who are classed as eligibles. a
surprising number for a state having
n comparatively small population.
Governor Smith received plenty of ev-
licences to-day that the war is not over
in the shape of a continuation of the
offers of services. He received word
from Livingston of the enrolment of
81 names in "A int company that
will soon have its full complement.
Among offers received have been the
applications OF Dw. Bruning N Hoyt
of Miles City and Glasgow, who wish to
be attached to the medical staff: Rev.

who says he is ready TO go to the front.

sions because of a lack of reliable in

number of companies in a regiment.
This morning a telegram was sent to
Secretary Alger asking for this infor-

cause h flag has not been raised to-

FOR INFRINGEMENT OF PATENT
A Kent County Gamer Must Answer
in Court for Using II Patented
Machine.

Judge Bradford handed down a ruling
yesterday, in the case of the Chisholm
Scott Company VS.. Zachariah johnson,
in which tie plaintiff alleges an infringe
ment OF patent rights in a machine used
for gathering, hulling and separating
green peas.
1t appears that johnson, who operates
a canncry at Houston station, in Kent
county, contracted with man named
Elnpson to do certain work for him.
Empson was to thrash for johnson, a
stated quantity OF peas, which were to be
furnished by Johnson during a specified
period, johnson was also to furnished
the necessary power and labor for the
operation Of the machines. including the
betting for the transmission Of power.
Empson was to furnish the machines.
The Chisholm Scott Company procured
IN injunction on account OF profits and
Johnson ntcrp,sed il plea tol the Whole
bill. The plea was set down for argll-
mrnt and was debated by the solicitors
on both sides.
After reviewing tie case Judge Brad
io'd ovcrrlIrd the plea and specified the
first Monday in February aS the date on
which the case would come up for trial.
The counsel in the case were, G. J..

COMPETITION AFFECTS PRICES.

The Delaware and Atlantic Telephone

their rates
No direct reduction is made, but on
the bills for the first quarter Of 1888
there will he II rebate allowed, which
will bring the rentals down to 1924 for
residences, and S36 for business phones.
THIS rate applies only on local phones,
and not to the long distance instru-
mcnt or to out of town service.
For this class of work the rates remain
at the old figure.
The new schedule has not vet been Of
ticially announced but it will in few
days be authorized by the company and
will take effect from the beginning of the
year.
This will result in quite number of
the d. 4 A. 7. 4 T. Co.'s patrons retain
ing their old phone service, as many peo-
pie who contemplated taking advantage
OF the new company's lower rates, will
not now change.
On the other hand many people who
have already put in the Delmarvia
phones will retain the other instrument
also as the expense will not be so heavy
and the connections are much more eX-
tensive at present.
The cut is significant as it is the first
result OF competition. 1t is understood
that no further reductions will be made
and Il rate war is not likely.
