A POPULAR MISTAKE

Inc national disease of Americans is

is SO common many people neglect
taking proper treatment for what they
consider trit1ing stomach trouble, when
as matter OF fact, Indigestion lays
the louhqatlon for many ineurable dis
eases. no person with a vigorous
heaIthy stomach will fall victim to
consumption. Many kidney diseases
ana heart troubles date their begin

Yous people are really so because their
stomachs are out Of gear; weary, Ian
guild, faded out women owe their con-
dition to imperfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet
is afflicted with weak digestion it is
not surprising that nearly every secret
patent medicine on the market claims
to be cure for dyspepsia, as we'll as
a score OF other troubles, when in fact,
as Dr. Werthier says, there is but one
genuine dyspepsia cure which is per-
fectly safe and reliable, and moreover.

MANY CHANGES
In the Commanding Officers Of Naval
Vessels and Squadrons---OnicerS Of
the Maine Ordered Home.

Washington, D. c., March 24.-Cap-
tain Robey D. Evans, we'll known as
Fighting Bob Evans arrived in
Washington this morning from Key
West and had half an hours confer
ence with Secretary Long. He told
the Secretary that If there was to be
a fight he wanted to be in it. Mr. Long
Immediately issued orders placing
Evans in command of the batueship
Iowa, which stands at the very head
of the American navy.
1t developed that Captain Evans or
derS had a most important sequel in
the assignment of Captain Sampson,
present commander of the Iowa, to
succeed Admiral Sicard In command of
the North Atlantic squadron. This is
the most important assignment the
department has made in many months.
1t is due mainly to the findings of a
medical court. that Admiral Sicard is
temporarily incapacitated owing to i'll
ness.
Captain Sampson is one of the best
officers in the navy having seen active
service during the civil war, and since
then having occupied many important
positions. He is a high authority on
command of the Iowa was chief of
the bureau of ordnance of the Navy
Department. He is between SO and so
years of age, student of naval affairs,
of genial temperament, and is consid-
cred an officer of exceptional executive
ability The retirement of Admiral
Sicard has the effect Of raising Captain
Sampson to the rank Of commodore
Hardly less important was the deter
mination to place Commodore w. S.
Schley in command of the fleet now
assembling in Hampton Roads. This
feet is commonly known as the ely
ing squadron the idea being to make
Hampton Pcads the base of operations,
and yet to give Commodore Schley
easy and effective cruising distance of
the entire sweep of the Atlantic sea-
board north of that point The two
commands under Commodore Samp-
son and Commodore Schley will be of
equal dignity and will be entirely in
dependent of each other, for the pres
ent at least.
Orders We're issued to-day detaching
Captain Sigsbee and other officers from
the battleship Maine, at Havana, and
ordering them to proceed home and
await orders.
This list includes all the surviving
officers of the Inflated battleship ex-
cept Lieutenant Commander Richard
Wainwright, who is in special charge
