The new medical discovery, Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets. digest the food instead of making he worn out stomach do all the work, give it a much needed rest, ana a cure of dys- pepsia is the natural result.
 You get nOurishment and rest at the same time because these Tablets will thoroughly digest all wholesome food taken into the stomach wheth- CT the stomach works or not. A cure is certain to result because the digestive organs are given charee to rest and recover their natural vigor and tone. The Tablets are then no longer required.
 To show the manner in which the remedy acts on different people and how quickly and effect it cures stomach troubles we present u few recent cases.
 MT. J. O. Wondly of Peoria, III. writes: l was unable to oeatanything but the DIanest food and even that often distressed me, but since using one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab let's 1 can eat anything and every thing I want,
 Mrs. SamueI Kepple. of Girty, Pa. writes: have been entirely relieved of my stomach troubles bv your Tablets. I suffered three years with sour stomach and gas at night. I am thankful for them.
 Mrs. A. E Bowen, Barnard, Vt, writes: 1 think Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the best thing for dys- pepsia l ever took. l will recOm- mend them to anyone troubled as bad as 1 was.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will not disapp0int because they cue Dyspepsia surely and lastingly by causing the food to be properly as. similated, and cure constipation by producing the proper quantity of bile.

INGENIOUS HoBos
An Inventive Weary Willie and His
Postage Stamp Racket

The arrivals of Weary Willies, chased
away from colder climates by the rigors of
the winter, keep on increasing. The frowzy
hobos are not necessarily ali thieves, but
none of them will work, and in order to
avoid such shocking eventuality some of
them display considerable ingenuity in de-
vising schemes to raise the wind. Yester
day one of the brotherhood gathered in a
considerable harvest in East Los Angeles,
and escaped arrest beside, by means of a
little plan which worked charmingly. He
made house to house canvass for two-cent
stamp, or the price of one. His song and
dance" was that he belonged in San Fran
cisco, where he had a well-to-do brother.
Being temporarily "short OF dough-" which
is the polite way of the hobo to intimate
that he is on the "hog," body and soul, he
wanted to write to his relative for funds,
but unfortunately lacked the capital needed
to send the letter off. In nearly every in
stance the schemer was successful in get
ting nickel or dime, as East Los An
geles people are not in the habit of hoard
ing postage stamps at their residences. This
lay is not entirely new, but has not been
worked here before, and it will prove val

ENGINEERS APPOINTMENTS
Those Who Will Hold Down Jobs for
the Next Two Years

CITY Engineer-elect Olmstead has decided
upon the appointment of his force of depu-
ties both for office work and for outside du-
ties. The new city engineer has decided
that in his appointments ability shall be
the requisite, and not political preferences.
He will retain George B. King, the pres
ent chief deputy under City Engineer Dock
weller. Mr.. Kings appointment under the
new administration is tribute to his abil-
ity as an engineer. He is Republican in
politics, but has not let his politics interfere
with his duties in his office. Chief Draughts-
man William Simpkins is also to be re-
tanned. During the past two years he has
had charge of some of the most important
work in the office, and the reason for his re-
appointment is the same as that of Mr..
King. The other appointments are:
Engineers, John H. Quinton and Frank
D. Rogers.
Clerk, Horace B. Ferris.
Surveyors, E. McCulloch, Homer Hamlin,
E. l. Wheeler, H. N. Taylor, w. S. Kings
bury, I. E. Rank, A. r. Street, A. Lewis
