TO BETTER THE STATE. Manufacturers Discuss Pure Foods and Merchant Marine Service.

The directors of the Manufacturers and Producers Association met yesterday and discussed several matters of more than passing interest. The pure foods commit tee submitted the outline of a proposed bill creating a bureau, the officers of which are charged with the duties of pun ishing all violators of the pure foods laws. It is to consist of three commissioners to be appointed by the Governor-one from the northern part of the State, one from the south and the third from San Fran cisco. The permanent employees are to consist of a manager, an attorney. chief inspector and an official chemist. The commissioners are to- serve without pay. The proposed act calls for a yearly appro- priation of $50 900. It calls for the inspec- ton of all foods, drinks and drugs. Also for the prosecution of violators of the laws relating to pure foods and to the laws governing the branding and labelling of goods, and provides that all peace off, cers, District Attorneys and State and county officials shall assist and cooperate with the commission It was indorsed by the directors.
 A resolution was passed requesting the California delegation to vote for the Sen ate bill appropriating $350,000 to aid 'an exhibit of American made goods suitable for exports to be displayed next year un- der the auspices of the Philadelphia Mu- scum. Another matter acted upon was favorable to sending a petition to Con gress to enact new laws with view of increasing our merchant marine. This includes the river and harbor bill now be- fore Congress.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
PECULIAR P0ISONS
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY.
The Result of imperfect Digestion
 of Food.

Every living thing. plant or animal, contains within itself the germs of cer- tain decay and death.
 In the human body these germs of disease and death (called by scientists ptomaines), are usually the result of imperfect digestion of food; the result of indigestion or dyspepsia.
 The stomach, from abuses weakness, does not promptly and thoroughly di- gest the food. The result is heavy, sodden mass which ferments (the first process of decay), poisoning the food, making it thin, weak, and lacking in red corpuscles; poisoning the brain, causing headaches and pain in the eyes.
 Bad digestion irritates the heart, causing palpitation and finally bring ing on disease of this very important organ.
 Poor digestion poisons the kidneys, causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
 And this is so because every organ, every nerve depends upon the stomach alone for nourishment and renewal, and weak digestion shows itself not only in loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak nerves and muddy complexion.
 The great English scientist, Huxley. said the best start in life is a sound stomach. Weak stomachs fail to di- gest food properly, because they lack the proper quantity of digestive acids Qactic and hydrochloric) and pepto- genie products; the most sensible rem edy in all cases of indigestion Is to take, after each meal, one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because they supply in. pleasant, harmless form all the elements that weak stom- achs lack.
 The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure every form of stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach
 They increase flesh, insure pure blood, strong nerves, a bright eye and clear complexion, because all these re- suit only from wholesome food well digested.
 Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, at 50 cents full sized package or by mail by enclosing price to Stuart Company, Marshall, Mich, but ask your druggist first.

TOO ANXIOUS
 ID BUILD UP
 A SOCIETY Queer Procedure of Rev. Henderson. HE SEIZED TWO CHILDREN WANTED THEM FOR OAKLAND HOME FINDING SOCIETY. Sacramento People Will Contest His Right to the Posses
 sion of the Little

The officers of the Society for the
 Prevention of Cruelty to Children are much incensed over the action of Rev. J. E. Henderson of Oakland, who, it is alleged, took two abandoned children
 from Sacramento and placed them in
 a home in Oakland without warrant or
 order of court.
 It has been learned that Henderson
 is superintendent of a society in Oak land known as the Home Finding So-
 ciety of Oakland, which is now under
 going the process of incorporation.
 Miss Mary Brandau, assistant superin-
 tendent of that society, is now in Sac | ramento. She found that the two chil- dren in question had been brought from Nevada by their mother and abandoned in Sacramento, and at once sent for Henderson and turned the children over to him, although she acknowledges he
 had no legal authority whatever to
 take them. Rabbi A. Simon, secretary of the Sacramento society, heard of the | matter and at once entered a protest.
 He began inquiring about Henderson, and was informed that the reverend gentleman had been expelled from ministerial society and is at the present time under a cloud.
 An interview with J. W. Daniels. as- SlSldul OI lHe lOCdi Home Finding Society, brings out some interesting statements regarding Hen derson's career. It is as follows: "Rev. J. E. Henderson was once a
 parson at Angels Camp, and the Meth
 odist minister who succeeded him there
 says that his proper place is in the State prison.
 He is jealous of the Children's Home
 Finding Society of California. and by way of diScrediting it spread reports
 that the society sells children. Desir- ing to entrap me he wrote letter from Tehama under the name of H. w. Bar tram, saying that he wanted a child. In a second he asked how much he
 would have to pay for healthy child, and in a third he offered s100 I have copies of the letters to prove all my statements"
 The Sacramento societies will prob | ably make an effort to regain control of the children taken by Henderson. | but they are at loss to understand why he should carry them away when
 he must have known he had no legal l right to do SO
