THE OLD WAY
Of Treating Dyspepsia and Indigestion
by Dieting a Dangerous and
Useless One.

We say the old way, but really it is a
very common one at the present time
and many dyspeptics and physicians as
well consider the first step to take in
attempting to cure indigestion is to diet,
either by selecting certain foods and re-
jecting others or to greatly diminish
the quantity usually taken; in other
words the starvation plan is supposed by
many to be the first essential.
The almost certain failure of the
starvation cure has been proven time
and again, but still the moment dyspep-
sia makes its appearance a course of
dieting is at once advised.
All this is radically wrong. It is foolish
and unscientific to recommend dieting
to a man suffering from dyspepsia, be-
cause indigestion itself starves every
organ, every nerve and every fibre in the
body.
What the dyspeptic wants is abundant
nutrition, which means plenty of good,
wholesome well-cooked food, and some
thing to assist the weak stomach to di-
gest it. This is exactly the purpose for
which Stuart's 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 Dys-
pepsia Tablets digests it for him. In
this way the system is nourished and the
overworked stomach rested, because the
tablets Will digest the food whether the
stomach works or not. One of these
tablets Will digest 5000 grains of meat
or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that
Stuart's Tablets is the purest and safest
remedy for stomach troubles and every
trial makes one more friend for this ex-
cellent preparation. Sold at so cents
for full sized package at all drug stores.

stomach diseases mailed free by address,

PORTLAND WOULD
BE A TERMINUS
Combination Would Have Boston, New
York and Portland for Its Termi-
nal, and Would Include Union Pa
cif1c and Oregon Short Line.

New YORK, June 27.-The Tribune
says: The report that the New York
Central has come to an agreement with
the Boston & Albany railroad, by which
the New York Central would lease the
Boston & Albany for term of 999 years
and guarantee per cent on the stock,
was not surprise either in railroad cir
cles or in Wall street. That the lease is
practically closed was confirmed from a
trustworthy source yesterday.
From one of the most influential rail-
road officials of the Vanderbilt system,
some facts were cleaned about the nego-
tiations to secure control of the Boston
& Albany. For more than two years
William K. Vanderbilt and his friends
have been working to get control of the
Boston & Albany, as it is the Central's
natural outlet to Boston for it's western
trains. About a year ago DIR. w. s..
Webb, president of the Wagner Palace
Car Company, started in to buy Boston
& Albany stock. AS this stock is largely
dealt in in Boston, he authorized Bos-
ton broker to buy all the stock he could
find in the Boston market and did not
stipulate price, but said to get it.
In about ten days his broker sent word
that he had secured something over a
thousand shares and wanted to know if
he should go ahead, as the price had gone
up fifty points in these few sales. Then a
stop was put to that. The stock was so
closely held that many thought control
could never be secured. Despite this,
persistent work has been done, and is
said to have been crowned with success.
The general opinion in Wall street, al
though no official confirmation of the
transaction could be obtained, is in line
with the information that the lease has
virtually been effected and the view was
taken that this New England arrange
ment would before long be followed by
| the long-taIked-of extension of the New
York Central system to the Pacific coast
from its present western terminus in
Chicago, by consolidation with the Chi
caeo &. Northwestern, the Union Pacific
and the Oregon Short Line.

ATTEMPT MADE
TO GET FOOD
French Pete, the DiscOverer of Tread
we'll Mines, is Missing from
Frisco.

SEATTLE, June 27.-W. D. Doolittle, of
r. Irvington, N. j., has arrived here after
undergoing series of fearful expert
ences during the past year. He was one
of those unfortunate ones who attempted
to enter the Alaskan gold fields over the
Edmonton route. After an unsuccessful
effort to get in he returned to Telegraph
creek out of food and just able to make
his wants known. Speaking of the
scenes witnessed by him at Telegraph
creek, he said:
''I have witnessed people coming in
with hands and feet frozen, starving and
suffering with scurvy, all telling the same
story of hardship and suffering in the
Lizard country. A party of fourteen men
was on its way to Telegraph creek. Five
led to break a trail through the snow,
and the other nine followed. A heavy
snow storm came up and the nine be
hind became lost. No trace of them has
since been found.
"a " eek before 1 lett for Seattle men
arrived from Teslin with the news
that three men had been found dead in
a cabin at Moose Lake. They all died
from scurvy. They were two Allison
brothers, of Kent, England, and Carter,
of New Zealand. Nine hundred dollars
was found in the cabin.
"The latter part of May, Porter, the
government agent at Telegraph creek,
sent in relief party into the Lizard dig
trict, consisting of two Indian guides
and four white men. They had a scow
load OF provisions. 1t was reported just
before left that the scow had reached
the district and distributed the food to
the needy people. of whom there were
about 500.
"I cannot describe the terrible suffer
ing L endured on the trail, and it is a
wonder to me that so many come out
alive"

WAR TUBERCULOSIS.
Observation-Disclosures Demand so Cow
inspectors

Chicago, June 10.-PubHc war on tuber
culosis was formally declared last night
when the Chicago Veterinary society, at
a meeting. decided to take the initiative
in the crusade against the scourge. To
that end the society called a joint con-
ference of the veterinarians and physi-
clans of Chicago to meet on Wednesday,
June 81, at a place to be decided upon
after it is determined whether the public
shall be admitted. Mayor Harrison, Gov
ernor Tanner and the aldermen will be
invited The purpose of the meeting will
be to form specific plans for the preven-
ton of the sale of milk in the Chicago
market that is not known to have come
from non-tubercuIosis cows
A committee was appointed to confer
with the Chicago Medical society and
other institutions in reference to the de-
tails of the conference. The papers 10 be
read at the convention are to be con-
fined to the subject of regulating the sale
of milk with a view of eXterminating the
source of tuberculosis milk. The veter-
inarianS will advocate legislation for the
Chicago market The plan that stood
most in favor at the meeting was that
suggested by DR.. E. l. Quitman. He said:
1T is necessary that we induce the city
ment of at least sixty COW inspectors The
inspectors shall then give licenses to
owners whose cows are found to be nom
tuberculosis. The cows shall be tested
every three months. The city shall APP
point as many milk depOtS for the inSpec-
deemed necessary Every can of milk
that is shipped into the city shall bear
upon it the number of the shippers

Divine love has strengthened the hand

these rich blessings continue and be in

good in God, God all one, one mind, and

will also rebuke and destroy disease,
and destroy the belief of life in mat

sinner, dreaming of pleasure in sin;
the sick, dreaming of suffering matter;
the slothful, satisfied to sleep and
dream.
Divine love is our only physician
never loses a case. 1t binds up the
broken hearted, heals the poor body,
whose whole head is sick and whose
whole heart faint; comforts such

tired tears brings back the wanderer
to the Fathers house, wherein are
many mansions, many welcomes, many
pardons for the penitent.

light of the present, the sight and light
of the present fulfillment thereof So

to acknowledge God and be one, inhabit

of the Christian Scientists has been re-
allied for theleader. and founder of
the faith the Rev. Mary Baker Eddy,
was in Boston, and spoke at the an

presence of Mrs. Eddy varied this some
what When Mrs. Eddy entered the

Mrs. Eddy said:
My Beloved Brethren: 1 wish to
say that this meeting is joyous to me.
Where God is we can meet, and where
God is we can never part. There is
something suggestive to me in this
hour of the latter days of the nine
teenth century, fulfilling much of the
divine law and the gospel.
20, may this hour be prolific, and at
