An Old Theory
Exploded.
Food not Digested in the
Stomach.
This Organ only Prepares II for Assiml.
lstion by the Istestines.

Until a few months ago the medical
profession, as well as the public at laro,.
have always believed that food was di.
gested in the stomach; but thanks "a
science, they are now enabled to follow
the whole process of digestion with their
own eyes from the moment food enter.
the mouth until IL is taken into the sys-
tenn, or carried off through the bowels,
Heretofore all remedies for the cure OF
dyspepsia have been given with the idea
of assisting the stomach to digest food,
and the discovery that this organ does not
digest II at all explains the cause of their
failure to cure the disease. and its con-
slant increase in spite of the thousand and
one remedies used. Another and equally
important discovery was also made; that
there are three distinct kinds Of dyspepsia,
two of which require different remedies,
and the remedy for one must be exactly
opposite to that of the other in character.
For instance. acid dyspepsia requires an
alkaline treatment indigestion an acid
treatment; these combined and given in
one dose neutralize each other, conse-
quently, cannot be given together with
effect. The third and most dangerous OF
all Intestinal dyspepsia) requires a GER
micide which must be harmless. and yet
strong enough to destroy the bacilli which
cause the disease. Understanding this
and knowing that they possess the only
germicde which can he taken internally
without injury (Hyomei), the r. T. Booth
Company have placed on the market a
dyspepsia cure, and the only one made
which treats every phase Of the disease
separately. That il has been a success 10
shown by the fact that they guaran-
tee II; something never done before,
and agree to return the money il cure il
not effected.
Hyomei Dyspepsia Cure Is Sold by

Meetings,Sof Several Combinations Held

Meetings of Several Combinations Held
yss rs Y II at Chicago. ~
CHICAGO, March 16.-Coffin manu-
facturers, makers Of green and glass
flint bottles and the owners and opera
tors of the coal mines in Indiana met
here during the day for the purpose Of
increasing prices on their products. Each
Of the meetings was held behind closed
doors and inquiries for information
were met by the officers and members
of all these .asso eiations by a refusal to
disclose anything.
The object Of the manufacturers and
coal mine owners was admitted to be to
advance their interests both in prices
and regulating competition.
Ten owners Of large mines in Indiana
attended the meeting of coal mine oper-
ators. At the close Of the meeting it
was said their action would not have as
much effect this winter as in the future.
While prices will be advanced before
the present winter ends, the advance
will not be as great as the operators
expect to make it next fall. BY that
time they expect to have an ORGANIZE
ton which will control the Chicago
market and be able to dictate prices.

Wilson, park commissio and founder
of the Wilson Packing company, which
supplied the British army with canned
beef during the first Zulu war, where
the temp erature was hotter than it was
IN Cuba or Porto Rico, said: s5s
! There never was such an article as
canned roast beef for commercial pur-
poses. Il is possible to can it, but too
expensive to make it practicable. Every
bit Of beef that is sold under the label
Of canned roast beef is nothing but
boiled meat. Canned roast beef is a
trade lie. .s..s
.s.I have: some canned beef and tongue
atmy house which my company put up
ID years ago, and lis as good and sweet
as on the day it was canned. Compete
ton has driven the packing companies
to can their beef in different way from
that In which it was canned 10. years
ago. They have, to save money and
time to use less effective processes.
This beef the American troops com.
planned Of, as I understand it, was in
round cans. It was not what is known
as compressed beef. It was simply
boiled beef. T .2ls.
Business is business, but the lives Of
the American troops are worth more
