THE OLD WAY
OF TREATING DYSPEPSIA AND INDIGESTION
BY DIETING A DANGEROUS AND
USELESS ONE

We say the old way. but really Il is a very com.
mon one at present time and many dyspeptics and
physicians well consider the first step to take In
attempting 10 indigestion is diet either Ivy
selecting certain foods and rejecting others or tc
other words, the starvation plan is by many sup
posed TO be the first essential.
The simost certain failure Of the starvation cure
fer dyspepsia has been proven time and again. but
still the moment dyspepsia makes its appearance a
course OF dieting is at advised
All this is radically wrong. II is foolish and un
scientific TO recommend dieting or starvation TO a
man suffering from dyspepsia. because indigestion
itself starves every organ and every nerve and
every fibre in the body
What the dyspeptic wants Is abundant nutrition,
which means plenty OF good wholesome, well-cook
ed food and something assist the weak stomach
to digest it, This is exactly the purpose for which
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets adapted and this is
the method by which they cure the worst cases Of
dyspepsia. in other words, the patient eats plenty
of wholesome food and Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
digest 1t for him. In this way the system is

stomach works or not. One OF these tablets viii

OyER-IRRIGATED LAND.
Result of Investigation of Soils I'm
the Yellowstone.


The division of soils of the Department of
agriculture has issued a bulletin on the
alkaH soils of the Yellowstone valley from
a preliminary investigation of the condi-
tions near Billings, Mont
The work was commenced because of the
report that serious trouble was threatened
IN the valley from the rise of alkaIi in the
soils 1t was conducted by Milton Whitney,
the chief of the division interested, assisted
by Thomas Means of the same bureau.
The bulletin states:
The results show that the ultimate source
of the alkaii is in the sandstone. and par
ucuiariy In the shale or slate rocks from
which the soils have been derived Before
irrigation was introduced the salts were
present in rather large amounts but well
distributed throughout the SOIL and not in
such large quantities as to be injurious to
crops. Ihe injury is due entirely to over
irrigation, to the translocaton and local ac-
cumulation of salts by means of seepaga
waters and to the imperfect drainage facil-
1tleS IN the compact gumbo soils and the in
abihty of the soils to remove the excess
OF salts and of seepage waters
There are many areas in the valley, of
course, which have still a low or moderate
salt content which are probably safe Tor
years to come. There are other areas in
winch the salts are now accommodating TO
such an extent as to render the future value
OF the land very uncertain, while there are
this stage. and what were once fertile tracts
nave been thrown out as barren flats The
Investigations show further the yery dis
lufping tact that the injury need not be
dne TO local application of water but to
tne ln1udlcious application of large quanti-
ties of it in remote localities and on neigh
boring farms over which the unfortunate
person has no control and for the effects of
Whch ne has at present no redress.
'Nfhe Investigations point clearly to the
natura! methods of preventing this injury
ana of reclaiming the lands. Where the
damage has been done or where the condi-
lions are so imminent that ultimate ruin
can be foreseen the logical method of recla-
nation is in providing adequate systems of
drainage to carry off the excess of water
and the accumulated salts. This is expen-
slve, but it is the only thing to hasten the
slow processes of nature. which are entirely
inadequate in the presence of the present
methods of irrigation and culture. Under
drainage is expensive, but it has amply re-
paid for the investment in other localities
where land is worth not more than in the
Yellowstone valley. ANY land which is
worth 500 per acre could well afford to be
taxed for under-drainage"

NEW ENGLAND FARMERS.
Their Condition According to the
Statements of MIR. BatcheIder.

Mr.. n. J. Batchelder OF Concord, n. H.,
concluded his testimony before the indus
trial commission yesterday afternoon,
speaking regarding agriculture in New Eng
land.
Mr. Batchelder believed that by skilled
treatment the better farms will improve.
Any legislation that will give a better local
market for the New England farmers, he
said would be desirable. They had en-
deavored to reach this end by encouraging
wealthy people TO purchase abandoned
farms ard to build up summer boarding
houses in the farming region. He said it
was generally the native American who is
helping to redeem these farms, though they
have some foreigners, who are helping in
that direction. He thought the condition OF
the farm l&borer in New England is now
better than at any time In the past. Labor
is now employed on the farms there by the
year. These laborers usually receive about
SO a month. These abandoned farms are
now much desired because Of the scenery.
Some of these lands not tillable could Ge
bought cheaDly as government land in
the west, or at S1.25 an acre This was
the land separate from the buildings.
Mr. Batchelder said that. so far as the
policy of expansion is concerned, IL could
not be said that the farmers of New Eng
land have any fixed policy on that subject.
They were still considering IL.

to Transfer Sovereignty.

British Subjects Ask Mother Country
to Transfer Sovereignty.
The New York Herald this morning prints
the following letter from Andrew Munro,
under date of St. Christopher, British West
Indies, March 3:
To the Editor of the Herald:
Within the last few days memorial from
the inha bitants of st. Christopher-Ne Nevis,
the Oldest English settlement in the West
Indies, has been forwarded to the Rt. Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain, her Britannia maj
estys principal secretary of state for the
colonies, praying the imperial government
to take steps during the present session of
parliament to abolish the sugar bounties,
or, alternatively, to open negotiations with
the transfer of these colonies to Uncle
Sam, in exchange for the Philippines. or
otherwise, as may be mutually agreed upon
by the two governments.
The memorial to which allude has been
signed by members of the legislature. by
the leading owners of sugar estates and
by large number of merchants, managers
of estates, artisans, laborers and in fact
by the representatives of all classes and
interests in the presidency.
Thee significance of this memorial can
hardly be overestimated, for although the
movement in favor of a political union with
the United States is at present in the in
cipient stage, there is no doubt that the
people of the colonies generally disgusted
by the apathy and utter indifference of the
British government to their interests are
ready for change of flags.

ARMY AND NAVY LEAGUE,
Organization to Aid the Propose
Sailors Club House.

A meeting of the Woman's Army and
Navy League was held Monday at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Schwan TO consider the
raising of fund for the recently opened
Sailors Club near the Brooklyn navy yard
Mrs. Alger was present and all the other
ladies were closely connected with either
the army or the navy.
The great need and the excellent results
expected from these proposed sailors clubs
were explained by the secretary Mrs H.
Schreirer, and as the league hopes to con-
steps We're taken to provide ways and
means for raising the funds.
fhe international committee of the Y NJ
{. A, under whose auspices the club in
Brooklyn was opened February 2S, propose,
II this one is a success, TO start similar
club houses or sailors rests near all the
1aVy yards and near army posts where the
enlisted man can enjoy a good library and
restaurant furnishing good meals and
where good bed is furnished for 10 cents
a night and bath free.
The interest of the Womans Army and
Navy League of this city was enlisted in
this enterprise by Rear Admiral Hfgginson,
whose plans for establishing Sailors rests
matured last spring but for the war with
Spain. Admiral Higginson's address Janu-
airy II, 1897, in the chamber of commerce,
New York city, contained the following
among other suggestions:
AS sleeping place where Jack can
neither be drugged nor robbed and would be
called in the morning and started with n
cup of good coffee on his way to his ship,
ciean, sober and on time I think the rest
would be decidedly popular. In fact, have
this assurance from the sailors themselves -
The president of the league read a letter
at the recent meeting signed by VIM E
Dodge. John ]. McCook and Commodore
John w. Philip Of the International COM
mittee of the Y. NJ c. A. commencing the
work of the members of the league, stating
that the continuance of the club already
opened depends largely upon the liberality
In addition to the proposed entertainment
here it was decided to distribute circulars
explaining the new work and its needs, with
the information that any one wishing to
make contribution can send the same to
