THAT NAME "o'mIGGiNs..

Ne WINS the George Washington 1T
chile and Licked the spaninrds
How did chile ever happen to md the
name 'O'Higgins' for one Of her battle
ships?n
Ever since the United States has been
talking about the purchase OF fighting ves-
sells abroad American newspapers have
been talking about the Chilean battleshlp
oHiggins aud the American people have
been wondering why the Chileans should
so christon their fine ship. The eNplana-
ton is found In the following brief biog-
raphy of Bernardo O'Higgins. taken from
the Century dictionary;
Bernardo o'iiiggifs. born at Chilian Au-
gust 70 Ills. dieu ~ Lima. Peru, October
"a, 1872. A Chilean general and statesman,
natural son OF Ambrosia O'tliggins. He
was educated in England, where he de-
rived republican ideas from Miranda, was
a prominent military leader OF the Chile
an patriots from 1910, and on the dcposi-
ton OF CABRERA 1913, was made commander
of the army. Carrera opposed him and a
civil war was prevented only by the COM
mon danger from the Spaniards. The COM
bined forces Of Carrera and o'Higgins were
defeated at Rancagua October l and 2,
lS1A and they fled across the Andes. o'tliE-
gins Joined San Martin in the invasion
of Chile, and his charge decided the VIC
tory of Chacabuca. February 2, 1871 Three
days after, San Martin having refused the
office, O'Higgins was named supreme d.
rector of Chile with dictatorial powers,
The independence Of the country was for
many proclaimed February IL. 1915 and
was decided by the victory of Maipo. April
g. 1878 o'Hisgins' ru was very PRO
gressive. He was forced to resign by n
revolution. January rs. ls2s, and retired to
Peru.

THEY RIDICULE IT.
MANY PEOPLE RIDICULE THE IDEA
OF AN ABSOLUTE CURE FOR DYs-
PEPSIA AND STOMACH
TROUBLES.
RidicuIe, However, Is Not Argument
and Facts Are Stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and in
many cases so obstinate to cure that peo-
pie are apt TO look with suspicion on any
manent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion
Many such pride themselves ON never be-
ing humbugged, especially on medicines.
This fear of being humbugged may be
carried TOO far. SO far. in fact, that many
persons suffer for years with weak diges-
zion, rather than risk little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims OF a
preparation so reliable and universally
used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vast
ly different in one important respect from
ordinary proprietary medicines for the rea-
son that they are not secret patent med
icine, 10 secret is made of their ingredi.
ents. but analysts shows them to contain
the natural digestive fcrments, pure asep-
lie pepsin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal,
bismuth hydrastis and nux. They are
not cathartc. neither do they act power
fully on any organ. but they cure ndiges-
ton on the common sense plan OF digest
ing the food eaten. promptly, thoroughly,
before II has time TO fermeni. sour and
cause the mischief. This Is the only Sc
cret OF their success.
cathartia pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles be
cause they act entirely upon the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble is really in the
stomach.
stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after
meals. digest the food That is ali there
is 10 IT, Food not digestcd or half d.
gcs;cd IS poison. as II creates gas anidity
beadaches. palpltation OF the heart lost
of flesh and appetite. and many other
troubles which are often called by some
other name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere at
80 cents per package. Address Stuart Co,
Marshall. Mich, for book on stomach lis
eases or ask your druggist for 1t.

The general managers Of Western roads
who were to have held meeting in chi
cago Tuesday to determine the future OF
the Western Joint Traffic association, have
postponed the conference until next Tues
day The feeling is growing among the
members that the only thing TO do is to
transform the bureau into a simple medium
of issuing rate sheets AS the matter now
stands II is so expensive that there is little
justification for keeping it up. The chair
man draws q high salary. -Four commits
sioners, who taye had little to do for
more than year. are drawing $4,000
year each. Other expenses make the cost
of maintaining the organization about
sl25, 900 year On account of tic decision
of the United States supreme court an
tagonistc TO traffic organizations the as
ISOLATION is practically useless. 1t is pro-
POSED to reduce the executive officers to
one and to keep up the bureau solely Tor
the purpose of printing Joint tariffs. The
four commissioners are under contract for
another year and it Is hoped 10 secure
a settlement with them by the payment OF
a lump sum of money.
