DANGER IN SODA
Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its
Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right in its place
nd indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes, but it
was never intended as medicine, and
people who use it as such will some day
regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda to
relieve heartburn or sour stomach,
habit which thousands of people practice
and one which is fraught with danger;
moreover the soda only gives temporary
relief and in the end the stomach trouble
gets worse and worse.
The soda acts as mechanical irritant
to the walls of the stomach and bowels
and cases are on record where it has ac-
cumulated in the intestines, causing
death by inflammation or peritonitis.
DIR. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia) an excellent preparation
sold by druggists under the name of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These tab
let's are large 20-grain lozenges, very
pleasant to taste and contain the natural
acids, peptones and digestive elements
essential to good digestion, and when
taken after meals they digest the food
perfectly and promptly before it has time
to ferment, sour and poison the blood
and nervous system.
DIR. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach arrangement and finds
them certain cure not only for sour
stomach, but by promptly digesting the
food they create flesh and strengthen the
action of the heart and liver. They are
not cathartic, but intended only for
stomach diseases and weakness and will
be found reliable in all stomach troubles
except cancer of the stomach. All drug
gists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
80 cents per package.

stomach weakness and their cure mailed
free by addressing the F. A. Stuart Co.,

clans had given me up. Fortunately, a
friend advised Electric Bitters' and to
my great Joy and surprise, the fret

CHICAGO, Juue 20.-A special to the
Times-Herald from Omaha says: Female
employees in the large mercantile estat-
lishments and factories in Omaha are in
whether they will hold their present po-
sitions after July l, and if they are dis
charged they do not know whether they
can find another place In which to work.
What is true of the women workers of
Omaha is true of other large cities in the
state. This condition of unrest is due to
the law regulating the employment of
women passed by the last session of the
legislature, and which becomes operative
July 1. 1t is estimated that 25 per cent
of the women employed in stores and
factories throughout the state will be
dismissed and their places filed by men.
The provisions of the law are peculiar.
1t regulates and limits the hours of en-
ployment of females in manufacturing,
mechanical and mercantile establish
ments, hotels and restaurants. Every
employer is compelled to provide suitable
seats for the female employees and per-
NIT the women to use them. It fixes a
penalty OF $50 for every infraction and
makes it the duty of the deputy labor
commission to see that the law is proper
ly enforced.
Through a committees efforts the
women employed In many Omaha stores
will be permitted to begin work about
10 o'clock Saturdays in order that they
may remain late in the evening of that
date, without laying their employers
liable to fine. The proprietor of one OF
the largest department stores in the city
said that he did not think the law would
cause the dismissal of large number oil
women in his esta blishment, for the pres
ent, at least. His firm will obey the
law strictly, and if it's observance shall
suggest economy in the wedding out pro.
cess, that matter would be taken UP
later.
The law will work great revolution
in the conduct of hotels, restaurants and
small shops, where women are expected
to work from daylight to dark. Pro.
prietors of these places are opposed to itt
enforcement, and are talking of going
into the courts to test its constitutional
ity.
You can rest assured the law will bC
enforced said Bert Buch, a local labor
leader. "Organized labor supported the
bill before the legislature, and is in full
sympathy with its provisions. Th,
deputy state labor commissioner can b,
depended upon to enforce it rigidly.'
In Lincoln, the big storekeepers are a
much perturbed over the enforcement 0
the law as are the merchants of Omaha
