The Scalp and Horse Bills.

There are great many objections
raised by the people against Assem-.
blyman Pattereon's scalp bill and
Assemblyman Gedney's wild horse
bill. The principal complaints against
the scalp bill are that it includes
badgers in the list OF noxious animals
and the sending Of the scaIps to the
county seat to be inspected by the
county officers. Farmers say the
badgers are their friends and that
they do not want them killed. Send
ing the scalps to the county seat will
be no rejection to the treasury.
Those who oppose MIR. Gedney's
wi horse bill claim that it will he
imperative and shat il it could be en-
forced it does not provide any way
for the county to get the money back
it would be ont in advertising and
taxes. II the bill is to become a law,
it should be amended in this particu

CATARRH OF STOMACH,
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Ef-
fectual Cure for 1t.

foctual Cure for 1t.
Catarrh Of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in
durable. The usual sym .toms are
full or bloating sensation after eating.
accompanied sometimes with sour. or
watery risings, formation OF gases,
causing pressure on the heart anc
lungs and difficult breathing; head
aches, tickle appetite, nervousness
and a general played out, languid
feeling.
There is often foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the inte-
rior of the stomach could be seen
It would show simy, inflamed con-
dition.
The cure Of this common and OBJ.
stinate trouble is found in a treat
ment which causes the food to be
readily, thoroughly digested before it
has time to ferment and irritate the
delicate muruous surfaces of the
stomach. To secure d prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing TO do and hen normal diges-
ton Is secured the catarrhal condi-
ton will have disappeared.
According to DIR. Harlaneon the
safest and best treatment is to use af.
ter each meal tablet, composed Of
Diatase, Aseptic P-psin, little Nur,
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name Of Sluart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and not being a
patent medicine can lie 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 27l0 Dearborn
ST., Chicago, ILL.,, writes: aCatarrh is
local condition resulting from q
neglected cold in the head, whereby
the lining membrane OF the nose be-
comes intiamed and the poisonous
discharge therefrom passing back
ward into the throat reaches the stom-
acb, thus producing catarrh Of the
stomach. Medical authorities pre-
scrlbed for me for three years for
catarrh of the stomach without cure,
but today 1 am the happiest OF men
after using only one box Of Stuarl's
Dyspepsia Tablets. | cannot find an
pr"priate words to express my good
feeling. I have fonnd flesh, appetite
and sound rest from their use.'
Stuart's Dyspep-ia tablets is the
safest preparation as well as the sim
plest and most convenient remedy for
any form Of indigestion, catarrh Of
the stomach, biliousness. sour stom-
ach. heartburn and bloatIng alter
