MR.. EVANS INTERVIEWED.
The G. 4. r. Pension Investigating
Committee Begins Work.


The midsummer monotony of Washing
ton official life is to be enlivened by an
other investigating committee. Pension
Commissioner Evans is the man the vet
Grams want to know about This enquiry
was inaugurated yesterday by what is
known as the pension committee" of the
Grand Army of the Republic, consisting
of half dozen prominent members OF that
organization. The committee is headed by
Col. r. B. Brown, of GAINESVILLE Ohio,
and includes Gen. John W. Palmer, Of
Albany. formerly Grand Commander, and
W. C. Johnson, of Cincinnati, present
Grand Commander of the order. They
registered at the Ebbitt House yesterday
and lost no time in establishing the COM
mittee's headquarters in room No. 30
at the hotel.
Colonel Brown visited the Pension Office
and was closeted with Commissioner
Evans for some time. He also conferred
with a number of bureau chiefs. When
seen by a Times reporter Colonel Brown
said that the object of the enquiry is to
investigate every detail of the workings
and administration of the Pension Bureau.
He said that every opportunity will be
afforded the committee for thorough and
systematic examination of the great stacks
of files in the Pension Building Expert
Government employees will assist the COM
mittee in its work.
After his visit TO the Pension Office
Colonel Brown returned TO the Ebbitt
House, where he. General Palmer and Mr..
johnson were in conference behind closed
doors until almost Ii o'clock last night.
Il can tell you nothing just now" said
Chairman Brown. The work of the com
mittee has just begun. 1t does not yet
know what recommendations VIII be made
by it. The entire pension system Will be
locked into, and changes will be recon-
mended If deemed advisable. We don't
know how long the committee will remain
in Washington"
The investigation is the result of
charges Of unfairness to old soldiers on
the part of Commissioner Evans, made
by Grand Army members.

Is 1T A TRIFLE Il?
THAT COMMON TROUBLE, ACID DYS-
PEPSlA OR SOUR STOMACH.
Now Recognized as a Cause of Seri-
Gus Disease

Acid dyspepsia. commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach, is a form
of indigestion resulting from fermenta-
tion of the food. The stomach being
too weak TO digest il, the food re-
mains until fermentation begins, filling
the stomach with gas, and bitter,
sour, burning taste in the mouth Is
often present. This condition soon be-
comes chronic and being an every day
occurrence Is given but little attention.
Because dyspepsia is not Immediately
fatal. manv people do nothing for the
trouble
Within recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely TO cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and is becoming rapidly used and pre-
scribed as a radical cure for every
form of dyspepsia.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold by
all druggists for 50 cents per package.
1t is prepared by the Il. A. Stuart Co..
Marshall, Mich, and while it promptly
and effectualiy restores q vigorous di-
gestion, at the same time is perfectly
harmless and will not injure the most
delicate stomach, but on the contrary
IN giving perfect digestion strengthens
the stomach, improves the appetite and
makes life worth living
