be reported to the House today or to-

made by striking out the provision for
three protected cruisers. This was done
on account of the fact that the navy is
now overloaded with protected cruisers

cATARRH OF STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, Hut Safe and IL
fcctunI Cure for II.

Catarrh OF the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to ihcurable. The
usual symptoms are a full or bloating sen
sation after eating, accompanied some
times with sour or watery riSings, a for
nation of gases, causing pressure on the
heart and lungs and difficult breathing;
headaches tickle appetite, nervousness and
\ general played out, languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the mouth
coated tongue and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen ii would show a
Shiny iniiamed condition.
The cure of this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
dipested before it has time to ferment ana
irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the
stomach To secure prompt and healthy
digestion is the one necessary thing to do
md when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disappeared
According to DR.. Haranson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet, composed of Diatase, Ase tic
pepsin. a little NuX. Golden Seal and fruit
acids These tablets can now be found at
all drug stores under the name of Stuart 5
Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being a patent
medicine can be used with perfect saf, ty

Mr. N ]. Booher, of 27l0 Dearborn St.
