The Rev. James Hughes delivered a
lecture last night in the Congregation
nj church on "The Country of the Fu-
ture." Among other things he said
that South and Central Africa would
he feared in the near future be the
subject of great contention among the
various nations of the earth. The
country Is immensely rich I'm minerals
and precious stones and in its agricul-
tural resources.
Many of the nations are actuated by
spirit of abnormal land grabbing, and
the enormous wealth of that country,
and the romantic character and his
tory of the native races, will be sure
to excite the avarice and jealousy of
the nations. Indeed, this sort of thing
has commenced and the map of the
country is undergoing constant change.
There will be much lighting over the
big plums to be found in South Africa.
The total output of gold in the whole
world during the last year amounted
to S311,0OO,0O0; of this amount South
Africa supplied SS1,00O,000.
There is now every prospect of a
railway extending from Cape Town
right to Cairo in Egypt within a few
years time. For the purpose of carry
ing out this great scheme which origin
ated in the prolific brain of the Hon.
J. Cecil Rhodes. the British and Ger
man governments are likely to render
very liberal monetary assistance. Such
a railway will result In a marvelously
rapid and extensive development of
that vast continent. There will be
room there and profitable work for mill
lions of people in the near future.
The greatest personality in South
Africa today is the Hon. Cecil Rhodes.
He is the greatest factor in the devel-
opment of the country, the largest em-
ployer of labor, and by far the most
generous man i'm the land. lie is the
son of a clergyman. He had six broth
crs; one of them was killed while ele-
phant hunting in South Africa. and
nearly all the others belong to the
British army. Mr.. Rhodes first went
to South Africa for the benefit Of his
health. He soon became healthy and
strong, and today he Is one of the
finest men in the country. He is both
tall and stout, and is the very picture
of health. He is a hard working man
full of resource. He is very rich and
as generous as he is rich. He made
his money in that country and he lives
there and uses his wealth most liberal
ly among the people where he made it,
He is rot an eloquent speaker, but
when he speaks he has some things to
| say and his speeches are epoch making
efforts. He is truely a great man and
marvelously successful in nearly all his
| enterprises.

| ture of both South and Central Africa

cATARRH oFTHE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, Safe but Effect
ual Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in
durable.
The usual symptoms are q full or
bloated sensation after eating, accom-
panied some times with sour or watery
risings, "a formation OF gases, causing
pressure on the lungs and heart and
difficult breathing; headache, tickle APP
petite, nervousness and a general play
ed out and languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and If the in
terror of the stomach could be seen
it would show a Shiny, inflamed condi-
tion.
The cure for this common and OBJ
stinate disease is found in treatment
which causes the food to be readily
and thoroughly digested before it has
time to ferment and irritate the deli
cate mucous surfaces of the stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy di-
gestton is the one thing necessary to
do and when normal digestion is Sc
cured the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson, the
safest and best treatment is to use
after each meal a tablet composed of
Diastrse. Aseptic Pepsin, a little NuX,
Golden Seal and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at
all drug stores under the name of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and, not
being a patent medicine, can be used
with perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough diges-
ton will follow their regular use after
meals.
Mr.. n. j. Booher of 2710 Dearborn
ST.. Chicago, ILL.,, writes "Catarrh
| is a local condition resulting from a
| neglected cold in the head, whereby
| the lining membrane of the nose be-
| comes inilamed and the poisonous dis.
charge therefrom, passing back into
the throat, reaches the stomach, thus
| producing catarrh of the stomach.
