THE OLD WAY.
Of Treating Dyspepsia and Indiges-
ticn by Dieting a Dangerous
and Useless One.

We say the old way, but really II 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 rejecting others or to greatly d.
lnlnish the quantity usually taken, in
other words the starvation plan is sup
posed 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 dys-
pepsia makes its appearance course
OF dieting Is at once advised.
All this is radically wrong. 1T is fool
ish and unscientific to recommend diet
ing to a man suffering from dyspepsia,
because indigestion itself starves every
organ, every nerve and every fibre in
the body.
What the dyspeptc wants is abund-
ant nutrition. which means plenty OF
good. wholesome well cooked food,
and something to assist the weak stom-
ach to digest 1t. This is exactly the
purpose for which Stuarts 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 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 Stu
arts 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

in this country. In 1899 the mileage is
$4,000. In these seven decades railway
building has gone on at the rate of q
500 miles every year, or nearly ten miles
for every working day. The total mile
age Of the United States is, roughly,
One-haIf that of the whole world. There
are not half a dozen other countries
that have One-tenth as much railway
within their boundaries. The average
Capitalization of the different systems
is S87, 600 per mile; the total is steadily
approaching $20,00O,000; it is equal to an
investment of nearly $S5,00O per day
for the whole period q
Even these figures do not tell the
story in it's full impressiveness Down
to 1850 the growth of railroads was
slow. The next four decades marked
the period of great expansion. over
$4,000 miles considerably more than
half of the total length of road in the
country, was built during the 70 years
from 1865 to 1890.
In 1850 the railway lines of the coun-
try were confined to the North Atlantic
states almost entirely, although there
were a few short roads in other parts
of the country. During the next ten
years a number of lines We're pushed
west to the Mississippi. In the follow
ing decade the first transcOntinenta1
system was completed, joining the Pa
cific coast to the rest of the country.
The railroads built in the west, when
the engine was the first pioneer and
armed guards were necessary to keep
as carefully and deliberately construct
ed as would be those of a more popu-
lous and older community. The one
command issued to the constructors
was: Make it cheap" Consequently
the surveyors ran straight lines so far
as possible. It was not necessary to
consider the claims of towns near the
proposed line; the towns followed the
railroad. The contractors turned up the
soil they found along the line for the
road-bed. The nearest and most con-
venient timber, whatever its kind, was
utilized for ties and bridges. Trains be-
gan running over each section of track
as it was laid. improvements came Ia
ter Most of the railroad in the country
was built something after this manner.
Much of it has been reconstructed since.
Rock ballast has been put in; fimSy
wooden bridges have given place to
substantial steel structures; heavy
steel rails have replaced lighter ones of
iron; curves have been Strengthened;
steep grades have been abandoned for
tunnels and cuts; now the block signal
is coming, and the grade crossing is
going. AS the companies grow in
wealth and the business increases, this
process will continue apace. For a
good many years to come the develop
ment of American railroads is likely to
lie in the improvement of existing lines
rather than in the construction of new
ones.

ARRTTRATToN PROBABLE
Burlington Memphis Provision Fight
May Be Adjusted.

Omaha, Neb., Oct 21.-The jobbers
and live stock shippers of Omaha are
considerably disturbed over the per-
sistency of the railroad rate war waged
by the Burlington against the n1emphis
line and the attitude maintained by
Kansas City merchants. The cut rates
just announced by the Missouri Pacific
and the Rock Island to Texas points
has only intensified the unrest of
Omaha shippers, some of whom have
already discussed the wisdom of sug-
gesting that Omaha's claims be en-
tered and that an appeal for arbitra-
ton be made. In local railroad circles
the conservative view of the matter is
that it has reached q stage where ar
bitration is essential Neither the Bur
lington nor Kansas City can recede
with honor and it is reasonable to be-
heve that the Burlington, after the
strong fight it has made, is entitled to
consideration.
The plan is that a representative of
the packing house industry from
Omaha and one from Kansas City be
selected, these two to select some
prominent railroad man, and the three
to form a board, whose edict win be
accepted by both Kansas City and the
Burlington system.

GIVES SATISFACTION.
a Certain Cure For Piles

The Pyramid PiIe Cure is a success
because it has the merit which brings
success. 1t cures every form of piles
and cures them to stay cured. It is now
the most popular and best known pile
remedy before the public, and one rea-
son for it's great popularity is because
it has taken the place of surgical OPP
erations, once considered the only sure
cure.
People often wonder that so simple a
remedy will so promptly cure such an
obstinate trouble as piles are well
known to be. Yet the greatest rem
edieS and greatest inventions we have
are the simplest, and the fact that it
does cure is all the sufferer from piles
wants to know.
The Pyramid Pile Cure cures piles in
any stage of the disease as shown by
the following testimonial letters which
are published every week and new
cases reported each time:
From Geo. @. Check, Owens Mill, Mo:
Some time ago I bought a package of
Pyramid Pile Cure for my wife who
had suffered very much. The first trial
did her more good than anything she
had ever tried. 1t is just as repre-
scented.
From Richard Loan, WhippIe Ohio:
tirely pleased and satisfied with re-
suits. It does the work and no mis-
take.
Mr.. w. r. Hines of Magnolia, Ark.
says: Although have used the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure only a very short time,
yet it has been very beneficial to me.
From Mrs. Peter Lake, Mohawk N
Y, received the Pyramid Pile Cure
! but put off using it until last week
when I became so bad decided to try
it. have suffered tWenty-nine years
with bleeding piles and have used a.
| great deal of medicine, but never had
anything that did so much for me as
your remedy.
The proprietors of this remedy could
publish columns of similar letters to
the above if necessary. but these are
| enough to show what it will do in diff
ferent cases.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared
by the Pyramid Drug Co. of Marshall
Mich, and for sale by druggists every
where at so cents per package. One
| package is sufficient to cure any or
| binary case Your druggist will tell
you more about it.

What FLORENCE Hopes.

We have heard a dozen railroad boys
express the belief that the division
would be removed from Emporia to
Florence within six months. H. R.
Nickerson, who was always a good
friend of this town, once said that
Providence always intended that Flor
could take the division away and keep
it away 1t has always been the Opin-
ion of railroad men that the division at
EmpOria is only a temporary thing,
and that it will finally be removed to
this place. With the wonderful in
crease in business on the Arkansas City
and Mcpherson branches, and the
building of new feeders in Oklahoma, it
necessarily follows that the removal of
the division to Florence would faciIi-
tate matterS.-ElOrence Bulletin.

Railroad News of General and

FAMINE is CERTAIN

r. While eastern roads are now suffering
a coal famine, the great question with
many of the western roads. especially
those of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas,
is the water supply.
In Texas some of the roads are not
only compelled to carry water long dis
tances for railroad uses, but are also
carrying it for towns along their re-
spective lines. While this condition of
affairs does not yet exist in Kansas and
Oklahoma, the continued dry weather is
diminishing the water supply to such
an extent that an absolute famine Will
result soon unless there is rain.
Both the Santa Fe and Rock Island
roads expect to be compelled to buy
water from cities where a reasonable
supply exists within the next few days
in the event of continued drOuth.
The city water supplies in some 10
calities are such that only limited
amount of water could be furnished the
railroads.
Some water is now being carried short
distances by several of the Kansas
roads, and the condition viii soon be-
