THE STARVATION PLAN
OF Treating Dyspepsia and stomach
Troubles - Useless and Tn
Rcfenti6c

The almost certain failure Of the starva-
ton cure for dyspepsia has been proven
time and again, but even now course OF
dieting is generally the first thing Secom-
mended for case of indigestion or any
stomach trouble.
Many people with weak digestion, as
well as some physicians, consider the hrst
step to take in attempting TO cure in1i-
gestion is TO restrict the diet, either by
selecting certain foods and rejecting 9th
ers or to cut down the amount OF food
eaten to barely enough TO keep soul aud
body together. in other words, the starya-
ton plan is by many supposed to be the
first essential.
All this is radically wrong. II is foolish
and unscientific TO recommend dieting to =
man already suffering from starvation be-
cause indigestion itself starves every or
gan, nerve, and fire in the body.
What people with poor digestion most
need is abundant nutrition, plenty Of good,
wholesome, properly cooked food. md
something to assist the weak stomach 20

This is exactly the purpose for which
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted and
the true reason why they cure the worst
cases Of stomach trouble.

food and after each meal take one or two

In this way the system is nourished and

NEW YORK, March Little that was
of significance or of general interest trans
pired in today's dealings in the stock mar
ket The trading was mostly for profess
sional account. and the greater part Of the
resulting price changes reflected little
else than the backing and filling of the
floor traders. In the railway list the deal
ings were In exceedingly small volume,
and the price movements were in the main
limited TO fractions. The only extensive
movements and even these were more than
usually curtailed were in the industrial
quarter and in some Of the specialties. The
conspicuous features were Sugar Refining
and Third Avenue. together with the To-
bacco stocks. Peoples Gas, and the more
distinctly Chicago organized steel indus
trials. The last-named shares had ten
dency toward recovery, presumably be-
cause the short interest in them became
suspicious at the amount of bearish news
and gossip in circulation concerning those
stocks.
The comparatively large dealings in
Third Avenue and in Sugar Refining were
apparently again conducted wholly on
technical speculative theories, that is TO
say that new ventures in the stocks in
question were based rather upon the sup
posed identity of the parties dealing in
them than upon any consideration of their
intrinsic merits as disclosed in recent de-
velopments.
The days figures of the dealings between
the local banks and the Treasury show
loss on balance to the former OF up
ward OF $4,000 coo. The call loan money
market in consequence continued firm and
was fairly active, lenders quite generally
passage by the Senate yesterday of the
Currency bill. and the probable operations
of the new law, were generally discussed
and served TO mitigate the uneasiness
which would otherwise have been felt with
regard to the monetary situation. The
London money market also grew frmer.
following upon the announcement of the
new English i'adget and the financial pro-
poSals in connection with the African war,
and sterling exchange advanced materially
in both Berlin and Paris. There was, how
ever, a slight further decline in sterling
in the local market, partly as a result OF
a continued purchase of stocks in this mar
ket for foreign account.
A feature Of the dealings on the stock
exchange which was commonly, and prob
ably with reason. referred to the refunding
features of the new currency law. was the
usual activity in the market for bonds
where relatively there was more animation
than appeared in the dealings in stocks.
All Of the higher grade Issues were partic-
ularly strong in adavnee of the investment
demand, which is expected to show Itself
with the conversion of the outstanding 8,
T. and per cent Governments into the new
per cents. II would certainly appear
that this transaction would involve suf-
fcient shifting of invested capital to fur
nish a lively demand for many months to
come for all securities possessing any
thing of the dignity of the investment
class

REGARDING CIRCUS PERMITS.

Edward j. DuH's Protest to the Dis
trfet Commissioners.
The District Commissioners yesterday re-
ceived protest from Edward j. Duff
against issuing permits'to circuses to show
on North Capitol and L Streets northeast.
Mr. Duff in his letter TO the Commits
sioners takes issue with the representa-
lions recently made by Wilbur F. Nash
regarding circuses in this part Of the city.
He maintains thar the people at North
Capitol and l. Streets do protest firmly
against the issue of any more permits for
this purpose. He declares that the circus
is not only a nuisance but is in the char
acter OF a menace to the community Oh
show DAYS and he asks the Commission
ers TO locate these exhibitions a, some more
remote and less thickly settled part of the
District
Mr. Duff further maintains that Mr..
Nash should not advance the plea that the
renting Of the lot 10 circuses is needful
for him TO pay his taxes, as. according 10
Mr.. Duff. Mr. Nash receives $4,000 rental
annually from the Government for two
warehouses occupied by the Government
Printing Office
The protest has been noted by the Com
missioners and it is understood that they

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET,
Wheat Dull and Lower-Large Deal
ings in Corn.

CHICAGO, March 6.-Wheat was very
dull and closed about 1-2c lower, due
more from lack of trade than anything
else. Outside markets were all easy. Liv-
erpool was firm and I'D higher, Paris
1-2c. lower, and Antwerp 5-Sc. higher.
Urinary receipts were about the same as
last year. Clearances were 2iO, 600 bush
els. The Ohio crop report makes the con-
dition 90. There was no cash business
done here. The seaboard reported only
twelve loads taken.
Early corn was up lie with quite a
speculative trade and with the claim,
made on good authority, that the cash
business with the seaboard within two
days has been at least 1900, 600. The frac-
tional advance was lost before the close
because of the weakness in wheat. but to-
nights corn prices are no lower than last
nights. Western offerings do not increase.
Liverpool was 1-4a3-sd. up. There is said
TO be an all-rail rate to Boston on corn
today of 10 1-2c.
Oats prices were steady, with hardly
any trade, and getting their firmness from
sympathy with corn. Country offerings
are said to be increasing some. Profess
sional sentiment continues bearish. Seed
ing in the Southwest is not far OFF.
Provisions opened higher because OF
light hog receipts and to 10c. advance
in that market, but lost the Improvement
in sympathy with grain markets. Aside
from moderate demand from packers the
trade was largely by scalpers.
