Why They Leave the Farm.

By the census of 1890 this is the
greatest tenant farmer nation in the
world. More than one-half Of the peo-
pie live in rented homes, Only about
one-third Of the families Of this country
own homes free Of incumbrance. All
the rest are i'll the grasp Of the landlord
and the usurer. In going into the land
question we again meet the machine.
In the field and mine it's work OF MAX
ing idle hands is seen. The small farm
er cannot afford to buy costly machines.
Without them he cannot compete with
the large farmer who uses them, and he
becomes a renter, a laborer or a tramp.
Much is said of the young men leaving
the farms and going to the overcrowded
cities. This is an evil which is greatly
deplored by many writers, but few of
them recognize that the machine is
largely responsible for it. The machine
has driven many small farmers out of
business, and, the large farmers using
them, there is not the demand for farm
labor there was a few years ago. On the
large farms a few weeks at seed time
and harvest is all the time there is any
demand for laborers. Naturally the
young men under these conditions leave
the country for the crowded CITIES. This
will not he bettered by free silver

NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
A Positive Cnre for Dyspepsia.


This may read as though we were put
ting 1t a little strong because it is gen
orally thought by the majority of people
that Dyspepsia in its chronic form is in
durable, or practically so. But we have
long since shown that Dyspepsia is cura-
bic, nor is 1t such a difficult matter as
1t first appears
The trouble with Dyspeptics is that they
are continually dieting, starving them
selves. or going to opposite extremes or
else deluging the already -burdened
stomach with "bitters,'' after dinner
pills, etc, which invariably increase the
difficulty even if in some cases they do
give a slight temporary relief. Such
treatment of the stomach simply make
matters worse. What the stomach wants
is a rest Now how can the stomach
become rested, recuperated and at the
same time the body nourished and sus-
tanned?
This is the great secret and this is also
the secret of the uniform success of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is a
comparatively new remedy but its sue
cuss and popularity leaves no doubt as
to its merits
The tablets will digest the food any
way, regardless of condition of stomach.
The sufferer from dyspepsia according
to directions is TO eat an abundance of
good, wholesome food FandA use the tab
lets before and after each meal and the
result Will be that the food will be di-
gested no matter how bad your dys-
pepsia may be, because as before stated
the tablets will digest the food even if
the stomach is wholly inactive. To IL
lustrate our meaning plainly, if you take
1,SOO grains of meat, eggs or ordinary
food and place ii in temperature of 9S
degrees, and put with 1t one of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets it will digest the meat
or eggs almost as perfectly as If the
meat was inclosed within the stomach.
The stomach may be ever so weak yet
these tablets will perform the work of
digestion and the body and brain will
be properly nourished and at the same
time radical lasting cure of dyspepsia
will be made because the much abused
stomach will be given, to some extent,
a much needed rest. Your druggist will
tell you that of the many remedies ad-
yertised to cure dyspepsia none of them
has given so complete and general salts
faction Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
not least in Importance in these hard
times is the fact that they are also the
cheapest and give the most good for
the least money.

stomach trouble sent free by addressing

The winners showed j decided Improvement ali

The Presidents Courage.

To the Editor of The Times:
El Heraldo of New York has told the
country that President Mckinley has
nerves of steel" and that he will steer
the country through the present crisis
in spite of foes foreign and domestic and
will not hesitate to fight when the time
comes.
The trouble with the Administration in
my humble judgment is that there is no
telling what amount of insult and injury
may be required to get its courage up II
it too much like the man who said to his
opponent 'SE. you have called me liar;
you have kicked me, and you have spit
in my face. But beware how you rouse
the sleeping lion in my BOSOM for when
angry my wrath is appalling in its conse-
quences!'
Some time last fall there was exhibited
in the window of an Avenue store a nor
trait OF President Mckinley, which was a
striking likeness. On close inspection 1t
was seen to be- as the pacard stated
entirely composed of feathers And in
the manly brow and the swelling chest
of the portrait the white feather was
strongly in predominance. Was this an
omen? E. NJ. S.
