New York Feb. 10.-Perhaps If one were
asked to name the conveyance with the
most innocent reputation as far as any
thing can be from association with crime,
the bakers wagon would be selected
Around it hovers an aroma of hot rolls,
mullins and waffes, suggesting peace and

Therefore, it was, perhaps, that one or

a bakers wagon for the delivery of their
product. When the inspectors of the in

CATARRH OF STOMACH
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Eff
fectual Cure for It.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings
a formation Of gases causing pressure
on the heart and lungs and difficult
breathing; headaches, tickle appetite,
nervousness and a general played out,
languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and If the inter-
Tor of the stomach could be seen it
would show Shiny, innamed condition.
The cure of this common and obstin-
ate trouble Is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before 1t has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate mu-
couS surfaces of the stomach. To Sc
cure a prompt and healthy digestion is
the one necessary thing to do and when
normal digestion is secured the catarrh-
al condition will have disappeared.
According to DR.. HarlanSon the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet, composed Of Diatase,
Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden
Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can
now be found at all drug stores under
the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and not being a patent medicine can be
used with perfect safety and assurance
that healthy appetite and thorough di-
gestion will follow their regular use
after meals.
Mr. N ]. Booher of 271o Dearborn ST..
Chicago, Ill, writes: "Catarrh is a
local condition resulting from neglected
cold in the head, whereby the lining
membrane of the nose becomes inf1amed
and the poisonous discharge therefrom
passing backward into the throat
reaches the stomach, thus producing
catarrh of the stomach Medical author
tiles prescribed for me for three years
for catarrh of stomach without cure,
but today I am the happieSt man after
using only one box of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets. I can not find appropriate
words to express my good feeling I
have found flesh, appetite and sound
rest from their use.''
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as well as the sim
plest and most convenient remedy for
any form of indigestion, catarrh of
stomach, biliousness, sour stomach,
heartburn and bloating after meals.

GREAT IRRIGATION WORK.
TFrom the Philadelphia Record.l

IFrom the Philadelphia Record.1
Arizona will in the course Of few
years have the greatest storage basin
in the world. 1t is proposed to impound
the water of the Salt river during the
spring and winter, and to draw on this
supply in the summer for irrigation and
other purposes. This will be located in
the mountains sixty miles from Phoenix.
The United States government has
granted to the Hudson Reservoir and
Canal company this basin, known as
the Tonic Basin to be used as a
completed all it's engineering work, and
plans and specifications for the dam
have just been completed. 1t proposes
to build a dam at the head Of the can
yon, where the river energies from the
basin, thus creating q lake, which will
cover eighteen square miles to a depth
of 100 to 200 feet. 1t will be necessary
to build a dam 200 feet high and some
SEQ feet in length at the top, although
the canyon is only 200 feet wide for the
first 100 feet from the bottom. The
territory of Arizona has granted the
company the use of the channel of the
Salt river in which to convey the waters
thus stored to the valley below, and
turned back into the channel as needed
and conveyed through the canyon for a
distance of thirty miles to the head of
the valley, where the first diverting dam
is found.
To construct this great storage reser-
voir, which will be the largest in the
world, will cost, it is estimated, about
81 500, 900, and the company is now ac-
lively at work obtaining the necessary
funds. 1t proposes to sell stored waters
to the irrigating canal companies now
doing business in the valley, and it is
said these companies will be very will
ing thus to augment the limited supply
which they now have ready for sale to
the farmers

to the Town of New Harmony.

New Harmony, Ind. Feb. 1e.-Sev-
enty-three years ago a poor orphan
boy aged 10 came to this place with

called together the trustees of the New
Harmony Library association and said:
Il am now an old man, and lifes' ten
ure is uncertain. To dispose of my pro-
perty without the intervention of courts
and juries has been one of the objects
of my life. 1 give to you gentlemen as
the trustees of the New Harmony Lii
brary association $40, 600 for the benefit
of said library and, suiting the action
to the word, handed over to the trus-
tees the above amount in mortgage
notes fully secured by liens on real es-
tate.
This splendid gift by the good old
doctor is supplementary to former
gift to the same library of a, beautiful
and most substantial building in which
the library has been kept for several
years past, making in all a free gift to
the town of New Harmony of not less
than SIS 600.
