cure for every form of indigestion.
They are in the tablet form which re-
tains their good qualities Indefinitely, while
liquid preparations become stale and use
less with age s.
They are convenient, can be carried in
the pocket and taken when needed. They
are pleasant to take,
After each meal dissolve one or two of
them In the mouth and, mingling with the

They digest the food before it has time
TO ferment, thus preventing the formation
OF gas and keeping the blood pure and free
from the poisonous products of fermented,
half digested food
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
remedy designed especially for the cure of
stomach troubles and nothing else.
One disease. one remedy; the successful
physician of today is the specialist, the sue
cessful medicine is the medicine prepared

ton surrounding the natives, their food

The authentic history of the islands be-
gins with their discovery by Captain Cook
in 117S. The unifeation by Kamehameha
in 1871 made them one kingdom. Chris
tianity was introduced by missionaries
from Boston in 1920 Annexation. though
considered as early as the middle of the
century, became direct object only when
the reciprocity treaty was concluded in
1876. After that annexation was but a
question of time. The signature OF the
opium and lottery bills by Queen Lii
caused the outbreak. Mr.. Morgan will de-
scribe all these conditions, also giving a
description of present existing conditions

class in the Sunday school with great
success. She also became conspicuous in
social circles, and until Tuesday only a
very few of her many friends knew of the
painful condition that existed in the fam

old daughter, Rose, quietly left Atchison
and returned to her old home in Wrights-

him, the last being on February II. Each
time he was made very i'll, and on three
occasions would probably have died but for
the fact that being a physician he knew
how TO counteract the effect of arsenic. The

chemist at Kansas University told him that
his stomach contained arsenic in large
quantities.
From this time on the doctor did not eat

hands of his lawyer, who demanded an abb
solute separation. The property was di-
vided, and Mrs. Geiss was given the al
tentative of obeying his demand for a di-
yorce or being prosecuted in the courts as
an attempted murderess. DR.. Geiss also
demanded that he be awarded the custody
of his daughter. Mrs. Geiss' friends are
championing her cause, and the assertion
is made that Dr. Geiss got rid of his wife
in order that he might in time take up
with a more cOngenial mate. Mrs. Geiss'
brothers, John and Jacob Gohn, prosperous
citizens of York, Pa, will, it is expected
