The reason why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are so successful in curing indi-
gostion and stomach trouble and the
reason why it never disappoints those
who need it and use il is because moth
ing is claimed for il except what it will
actually perform. 1t is not a clre-all
and no such claims are made for it. 1t
is prepared for the sole purpose of cur
ing Dyspepsia and the various forms Of
Indigestion.
There is scarcely n patent medicine
made but what is claimed 10 cure dyspcp-
STA as well MS II hundred other troubles.
When as n matter Of fact a remedy
to cure Dyspepsia must be prepared cs-
pecially for that and nothing else; and
among all the remedies, patent nostrums.

The American Army.

Gen. Miles, having completed all plans
for mobilizng the militia and moving
troops to the sea coast, and having plac-
ed this branch of war preparation upon
a footing which requires only the touch
ing of a telegraph key to bring action, is
now devoting his attention mainly to get
ting supplies.
Officers in command IF important sta
tions along the coast have been called
upon for reports of actual condition of
defenses, the amount of ammunition on
hand, and an estimate of ability to with
stand an attack. The officers of engi-
neers on duty at the bureau in Washing
ton have conferred with Gen. Miles as to
what stations are weakest at this time,
as shown by these reports, and the end of
the week will find those points re-enforc-
ed. Information upon this subject is
guarded from the public, as are the con-
templated moves by the Navy.
1t is learned that satisfactory progress
is being made on all contracts for am
munition awarded within the last few
weeks. The output is inspected by the
Army officers and shipped from the fac
tories direct to the places which are
shortest of ammunition.
War Department officials are gratified
at the patriotic spirit displayed by the
manufacturers. There has been no dis
position shown up to this time to take
advantage of the necessities OF the Gov
ernment by our own people. nor TO
squeeze the department in any way.
