A HUNDRED REASONS

Can be given why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the best and most effectual
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 useless with age.
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 food, they constitute perfect
digestive. absolutely safe for the most
sensitive stomach.
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 prod
ucts of fermented, half digested food
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
remedy designed especially for the cure
of stomach troubles and nothing else.
One disease, one remedy; the sue
cessful physician Of to-day is the spe-
cialist, the successful medicine is the
medicine prepared especially for one
disease.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the
complexion clear by keeping the blood
pure.
They increase flesh by digesting flesh
forming foods.
A whole package taken at one time
would not hurt one. but would simply
be waste of good material
Over six thousand men and women
in the State of Michigan alone have
been cured OF indigestion and dyspepsia
by the use of St11art's I3ysslepsia Tab

Games of Chess.

In 1896 Mohammed Bahia usurped
the crown of Grenada, in spite of the
superior claims of his elder brother
Jussef. He was very unsuccessful in
his conduct of the war against the
Christians and was at length assas-
sinated by poison absorbed through the
skin from a shirt. He entertained a
desperate dislike to the brother whom
he had injured, and when he knew that
his own fate was sealed he sent an
order to the governor Of the prison in
which Jussef was confined that he
should be executed Immediately. When
the order arrived Jussef was playing
chess with the chaplain Of the prison.
With great difficulty Jussef obtained a
respite from the governor permitting
him to finish the game. Before it was
ended, however, news came that the
usurper had died of the poison. This
Cancelled the order of execution and
Jussef, instead Of going to the scaffold,
mounted the throne.

Pryor, Judge of Kentucky Court of APP
peals for twenty-five consecutive years.
Judge Tarvin was educated in the pub
lie schools of his native town, has liv-
ed there always, has always been a
Democrat, and has been chairman Of
his county committee several years. He
has practiced law since 1892. In 1896
he was Democratic candidate for cleo
tor at large in his state and was de-
feated by 173 votes out of total OF
$40, 900 cast. 1t was in this race, when
he stumped the state for Bryan, that
his oratorical powers were first
brought prominently before the public.
He was nominated for circuit judge in
the Sixth Kentucky district in 81, re-
ceiving two-thirds of the votes in the
primary, and was elected by over l.
900 majority at the regular election.
He has always been a silver advocate,
and stumped the state in advocacy Of
the white metal in 1895, 1896 and 1898.
He was one Of the foremost figures in
the organization of the League of BIZ
metallic Clubs of the Ohio Valley, in
Cincinnati in 1897, and in 1898 was
made its president, place to which
he was reelected for a term of two
years, at the recent Louisville conven-
ton of the organization. Judge Tar
vim has quickly won national repu-
tation as an orator, his speech at the
dollar banquet in New York and at
the Auditorium in Chicago, where he
spoke in behalf of the Obscure peo-
ple," being perhaps his most notable
triumphs of oratory.

HE GOT FRESH CROP OF HAIR
Terror at the Danger of His Son Causet

Terror at the Danger of His Son Caused
Mans Hair to Change Color.
Everyone has heard stories of men
and women becoming gray-haired in a
night as the result of grief or terror.
Many of these tales are doubtless the
mere imaginings Of the writer's Of
sketches, but that such phenomena are
of occasional occurrence has been fully
demonstrated. A Chicago physician
relates this instance in medical jour
nal and vouches for it's truth: The
subject was a laboring man in the
stockyards district, aged 3S, who was
not of nervous temperament beyond
being slightly emotional. His hair was
abundant and of dark chestnut color.
One evening as he was returning home
preceded by his horse, on which was
mounted his son, aged 8, the animal
slipped and the child was thrown off
and trampled on several times. He
was only severely bruised, but the ia
Their thought he was killed, and in try
ing to save him was terrorstricken.
He trembled and had palpitations and
feeling of cold and tension in the
face and head. Next day the hairs of
the head, beard and eyebrows began
to fall in quantities, so that after eight
days he was absolutely bald. At the
same time the skin of the head and
face became paler Without delay the
hairs began to grow again in the form
of cOlorless down. Soon all the af-
fecte6 regions were covered with finer,
more silky and a little more thinly
sown, completely white hair.-Chicago

SAYS TRUSTS ARE NECESSARY.


sice-Presfdent OF the standard oil
Company Explains Their Need.
Washington, Sept. 11.--John D. Arch
bold, vice-president of the Standard
Oil Company, appeared before the in
dustrial commission Friday and con-
tended that trusts, or large corpora
lions, are a commercial necessity Of
the times, and the Standard Oil COM
pany, a mighty force in the van of the
American army, striving for the COM
mercial supremacy of the world, mer-
it's the approval and the support Of the
American people rather than their
condemnation.
He expressed the opinion that the
Standard Oil combination has been of
vast benefit to the world at large, and
said, speaking generally: "The out
cry against corporations does not come
from the great, busy, industrial classes,
but from impractical sentimentalists,
yellow journals and political dema-
gogues, from the last named, perhaps,
more than any other. 1t is veritable
attack on thrift and prosperity. To
listea to their voice to the extent Of
imposing restrictive legislation would
mean a frightful step backward in the
commercial development of our coun-
try"
He suggested national corporations
as the only legislation necessary.

Judge J. P. Tarvin, of the Kenton

Of late in public affairs and whose
name has been so frequently mention
ed within recent months in connection
with the Democratic vice presidential
nomination, in the now seemingly GER
tain event of Mr.. Bryan's re-nomina-
ton. The story of Judge Tarvin's
career, while in nowise startling, is
noteworthy as the plain tale of one
who has attained a large prominence
and host of loyal and earnest friends
throughout the nation, chiefly by
means of his own nativabilities and
personal qualities. He was born in
Covington, KY, November 10, 1860, and
comes of distinguished parentage, his
father being w. H. Tarvin, his moth
er Eliza Pryor. He is the grandson

zenith annual encampment of the or

port showed the order in good condi-
ton financially with $4,000 in the treas
ury. The membership has fallen off
about 1000 in the past year, according
to Adjt.-Gen. Abbotts report, and he
ascribes this to the fact that so many

enlisted in the army. The report shows
total membership of $4,000, scattered
among 1000 branches.
