AN OBJECT LESSON
En a Rsestnnrant

a physician puts the query: Have you
never noticed in any large restaurant at
lunch or dinner time, the large number
of hearty, vigorous old men at the
tables; men whose ages run from 50 to 50
years; many of Them bald and all per-
haps gray, but none of them feeble or
senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so common as
to have escaped your observation or COM
ment, but nevertheless it is an object
lesson which means something.
If you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating you will observe
that they are not munching bran crack
ers nor gingerly picking their way
through a menu card OF new tangled
health foods; on the contrary they seem
to prefer juicy roast of beef. properly
turned loin Of mutton, and even the
deadly broiled lobster is not altogether
ignored.
The point of all this is that vigorous
old age depends upon good digestion and
plenty of wholesome food and not upon
dieting and an endeavor to live upon
bran crackers
There is a certain class of food cranks
who seem to believe that meat, coffee
and many other good things are rank
poisons but these cadayerous, sickly
looking individuals are a walking con
demnation of their own theories.
The matter in nutshell is that if the
stomach secretes the natural digestive
juices in sufficient quantity any whole
some food will be promptly digested; if
the stomach does not do so, and certain
foods cause distress one or two Of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal will remove all difficulty because
they supply just what every weak
stomach lacks pepsin hydro-chloric
acid, diatase and nux.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets do mot act
upon the bowels and in fact are not
strictly a medicine as they act almost
entirely upon the food eaten, digesting it
thoroughly and thus gives much needed
rest and giving an appetite for the next
meal
OF people who travel nine out of ten
use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets knowing
them to be perfectly safe to use at any
time and also having found out by ex-
perience that they are safeguard
against Indigestion in any form, and eat
ing as they have to, at all hours and all
kinds of food the travelling public for
years have pinned their faith to Stuarts
Tablets.
All druggists sell them at 80 cents for
full sized packages and any druggist
from Maine to California, if his opinion
were asked, will say that Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets is the most popular and
successful remedy for any stomach
trouble

GUTHRIE CLUB TAKES ACTION
TO Head or Alleged Capital Schemes
Oklahoma City.

Guthrie. o. r, Jan. 9.-The report that
Henry Overholser, c. G. Jones and Sell
wyn Douglas Of Oklahoma City, are in
Washington for the purpose tof renewing
the fight for Governor Barnes removal.
has beer confirmed by the Washington
news dispatches, which also state that
Messrs. Overholser and Douglas called
upon the president yesterday in company
with a United States senator, name not
given. and urged that the governor be
displaced. The fact that the committee
now in Washington is composed exclusive
~ OF Oklahoma City representatives
seems to bear out the theory that this
last outbreak against Barnes means a re
newal Of the capital fight, and acting
upon this conviction the Guthrie club to-
night took steps to send committee to
Washington that viii labor to counteract
the work Of the Oklahoma City commit
tee Who win compose this committee
was not definitely decided upon tonight
but delegation will leave here tomorrow
evening and proceed directly to Wash
ir.ton
There can be no question" said a
prominent officer of the Guthrie club to-
night. that the revival of the fight
against Governor Barnes is solely in the
interest of Oklahoma City in anticipa-
ton Of another fight over the location
of the temporary capital next winter.
That this theory is correct is shown by
the fact that in practically every local
ity in the territory the opposition to the
governor has either quoted down or has
given way to a feeling of passive indif-
ference. The only marked exception is at
Oklahoma City. where the fractional feel
ing and animosity have been kept alive,
not so much on account of the governors
record. as chiefly through the intense
rivalry between the two towns for
supremacy. The town lot speculattors OF
Oklahoma City doubtless reason correctly
IN anticipating that Governor Barnes
would discourage a repetition Of the cap
ital fight Of ten years ago. through which
the reputation Of the territory suffered
such keen humiliation. hence they would
welcome even an outsider with whom TO
take chances on a veto

SUMMARY REMOVAL TALES
Not Considered as at All
Likely to be True.
REMOVAL TALES

Washington, Jan. 9-Of multiplicity
of alleged authentic stories in regard to
the immediate change in the office of
governor of Oklahoma, it is difficult. if
not impossible to select the correct one.
The common story is that Governor
Barnes is to be removed at once and a
man appointed in his place who is en-
tirely free and independent of all fac
tons in Oklahoma.
That story does not stand close scrutiny.
There is no doubht that the official ca
reer Of Governor Barnes has been put in
the crucible for final test to determine
whether he is to remain as governor or
IS to leave that post. When the decision
is reached one way or the other, and that
decision will be purely the act Of Presi-
dent Mckinley based on his own judg
ment, nothing viii probably be at once
apparent to the general public. Cover
nor Barnes vii mot be summarily remov-
ed, if the decision is against him. He
will be asked to resign. There is no in
side Information denoting that fact; It is
a conclusion based on a knowledge that
appointees as important as territorial
governors, are not dispatched in that
manner. On the other hand, if Governor
Barnes is to remain no announcement
will be made of that decision.
There is reason to believe that it was
the visit of Mr. Overholser. Mr.. Doug
lass and Mr. Jones of Oklahoma City to
this city which caused Governor Barnes
trip to Washington. Oothers had made
trips like missions to Washington before
and Governor Barnes had not come on to
refute whatever they might have TO say.
It is believed that Governor Barnes
was asked to come to Washington. That
he was asked, indicates that his case is
not decided adversely yet and that he was
to be given a hearing. That he will have
a hearing, and at the conclusion viii be
apprised definitely whether he is to re-
main as governor or to be asked to resign,
seems entirely likely
The men who are not friendly to Gov
ernor Barnes believe that his rtirement
is certain. Governor Barnes friends feel
that he is in jeopardy but believe that
the governor viii be able to show Presi-
dent Mckinley that his removal would
be an act of injustice to him.
