THE OLD WAY
OF Treating Dyspepsia and Indiges-
lion by Dieting Dangerous
and Useless One.

We say the old way, but really il is a
very common one at present time and
many dyspeptics and physicians as well
consider the first step TO take in attempt
ing 10 cure indigestion is TO diet, either by
selecting certain foods and rejecting 9TH
ers or to greatly diminish the quantity
usually taken; in other words, the starva-
tion plan is by many supposed TO be the
first essential.
The almost certain failure OF The starva-
tion cure for dyspepsia has been proven
time and again, but still the moment dys-
pepsia makes its appearance a course of
dieting is at once advised.
All this is radically wrong. ]. IS foolish
and unscientiic to recommend dieting or
starvation TO a man suffering from dys-
pepsia. because indigestion itself staryes
every organ and every nerve and every
fibre in the body
What the dyspeptic wants - abundant
nutrition. which means plenty of good
wholesome, well cooked food and some
thing TO assist the weak stomach TO digest
it, This is exactly the purpose for which
Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted, and
this is the method by which they cure The
worst cases of dyspepsia: in other words
the patient eats plenty of wholesome food
and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest IL
for him. In this way The system is nour-
ished and the oyerworked stomach rested
because the tablets Will digest the food
whether the stomach works or not One
OF these tablets viii digest 1900 grains OF
meat or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets is the purest ana safest
remedy for stomach troubles, ana every
trial makes one more friend for this ex-
cellent preparation. Sold at so cents for
fun sized package at all drug stores.

RIFLES OF THE VOLUNTEERS.
Some Comments on Their Ability to
Use New Weapons.

Some Comments on Their Ability to
Use New Weapons.
The real explanation of the continued
use of the Springfield rifle by the yolun-
teers in place of the Krag- -Jorgenson is
said to be jealousy of the praise heaped
upon the volunteers. The excuse given is
that the volunteers cannot readily learn
to use the Krag-Jorgensens. and that they
had better have a weapon with which they
are acquainted. The regulars. of course.
it is assumed, with their superior expert
ence, readily learn to use the new rifles.
This same excuse was made when the fl ght-
ing was going on in Cuba. and was then
said to be part of deliberate plan TO min
imize the value of volunteer troops. When
fighting was to be done the cry would be
that the volunteers could not be sent be-
cause they had only short-range rifles.
and they were given short-range rifles in
order that they might not be sent. This
fact il is said, was admitted freely by
regular officers at Santiago. who used to
ask the correspondents there not 20 praise
the volunteers too much.
1--WE want a permanent army of regu-
lars" they said, "and not volunteer
army"
1t is not intended to assert. Of course
that anyone wanted the volunteers to go

always a great deal of work TO be done be-
hind the lines that does not require long
range rifles, and the fact that the volun-
teers had only short range ones, furnished
good excuse for keeping them to this
and not letting them win any glory, and
incidently kept down the reliance of the
nation upon its volunteers. That is why the
taunt is thrown out nowadays that the vol
unteers did nothing in the war.
General Miles was the only officer tt
have confidence in them. and he let then
show what they could do in Porto Rico
and they showed it splendidly.

GERMANY COMES TO TERMS.
Sees Reason to Allow Free Passage
OF American Fruit.

Ambassador White has reported TO the
State Department that American fruit sent
through Germany in bond is no longer re-
ouired TO be examined for the San Jose
scale.
This does not mean that Germany has IN
any way relaxed her prohibition OF Ameri-
can fruits for consumption there without
the strictest scrutiny but only that when
fruit is to be sent through Germany TO
some other country in bond sealed against
all contact, she will hereafter abandon her
vexatious and useless scrutiny.
Even so small a concession is hailed by
the State Department as an evidence or
better feeling on Germanys part, and as
harbinger OF hope for the future. Ever
since the United States developed its pow
er in the East and since the last Congress
put into the hands of the Secretary of the
Treasury power to retaliate on Germany
on the plea of the health OF the people.

Hospital for Americans.

The society also Intends to establish and
maintain a hospital especially for the
Americans who will receive the same
treatment as given in the hospitals OF the
large cities throughout the country. The
society proposes to maintain this hospital
until it is self-supporting.
The party which leaves tomorrow will
commence active operations as soan as 1t
reaches Havana. and it is expected that
plans will be sufficiently matured in few
weeks so that nurses and attendants may
be sent for. The hospital service will
work in conjunction with the army. The
Government has given free transport ser
vice to the members of the Red Cross and
the railroad and telegraph companies
have expressed a Willingness to cooperate
with the movement by giving reduced
rates to persons or agents having business
with the society.
The present expedition is made up of ex-
perienced men who have been identified
with the work of the organization, in many
instances with its foundation, in the United
States. Great care has been taken to Sc
cure those who are in every way fitted for
the work and it is expected that much will
be done toward relieving the sick and suf-
fering in the island. The extension of the
work has created demand for additional
funds and an effort will be made imedi-
ately toward securing subscriptions and
establishing depots of supplies where food,
clothing and money will be received and
shipped to the point where they are need
