When a young man asks father for his
daughters hand in marriage if the father
is wise one, he thinks of one thing equal
ly as important as the young mans morals,
social and business standing and intelli-

is restored To do SO is to commit crime
against the human race. While all diseases
may not be directly Inherited the corstitr-
tional tendency to acquire them is inher-

chances are that his children will have
weak, undersized lungs, and a predisposi-

within the limits of our county enough
good land to support ten times our
present population. Much of this land
is now practically going to waste.
while much more of it is being titled
on the wholesale plan and to very poor
advantage. This is all wrong. The
large land holdings should be cut up
and frugal and industrious people
placed upon each twenty or forty acres,
so that the highest degree of productive
ness can be attained and the general
wealth and prosperity Of the commu-
nifty enhanced.
Now, how can these changed condf-
tions be brought about? Can we sit
idly down and expect people to flock
to US in search of homes? Experience
teaches that we cannot In the buss-
ness world, other things being equal,
the man who does the most hustling is
the man who does the most business.
And its the same with communities
We have inducements to offer home
seekers that cannot be excelled in any
part of this glorious State, but we have
been too modest to mention the mat
ter above a whisper. AS a result other
communities having lesser advantages
Jul HiOIe Jung pOWeT nave grown rap
idly in population, while Merced Coun-
ty has apparently been at a standstill,
or has grown so slowly that the growth
has been hardly noticeable. Now sup
pose we try the experiments that have
been most successful in other counties
of California Speaking figuratively,
let us throw UP cur hats, beat a bass
drum and yell murder for a while, and
see if we cannot attract some atten-
ton in that way. In other words let
US lay aside our modesty and take adj
vantage of every means of informing
the world that Merced is one of the
garden spots of creation, ar d .hat homes
can be made here as cheaply as any
where else. When this information
has been scattered to the four winds,
and not until then will we begin to
grow and prosper as a community.
Such a movement might be inaugural
ed by taking hold of the proposition
suggested in the Post" editorial. How
best to inform those FNinlanders of the
good points about Merced County is a
matter of detail to be thought out by
land owners themselves. But some
plan should be devised, and that right
speedily. Perhaps our people might
work to coed advantage in this matter
in conjunction with the State Board

A HUNDRED REASONS

Can be given why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the best and most effectuai
cure for every form of indigestion.
They are in the tablet form which re-
tains their good qualities indefinitely,
while liquid preparations become stale
and useless with age.
They are convenient, can be carried
in the pocket and taken when needed.
They are pleasant to take.
After each meal dissolve one or two
of them in the mouth and, minglinS
with the food, they constitute a perfect
digestive, absolutely safe for the most
sensitive stomach.
They digest the food before it has
time to ferment, thus preventing. the
formation of gas and keeping the blood
pure and free from the poisonous prod
ucts of fermented, half digested food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
remedy designed especially for the cure
of stomach troubles and nothing else.
One disease, one remedy; the sue
cessful physician Of to-day is the spe-
cialist. the successful medicine is the
medicine prepared especially for one
disease.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the
complexion clear by keeping the blood
pure.
They increase flesh by digesting flesh
forming foods.
A whole package taken at one time
would not hurt one. but would simply
De a waste of good material.
Over six thousand men and women
in the State of Michigan alone have
been cured of Indigestion and dyspepsia
by the use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets.

package.
