NAVAL STATION on sUBIG BAY.
A Board Will Probably BE Appointed
to COnsider the Question.


to Consider the Question.
Reports which have reached the Navy De-
partment to the effect that Subig bay in
the Philippine Islands is not a suitable
place for locating an extensive naval sta
ton, coaling station or navy yards, owing
to limited depth of water. Naval opinion
has been divided for some time as to the
relative merits of Manila bay and Subig
bay. The Spanish government spent large
sums on Subig bay, and it was thought to
offer facilities superior to those of Manila
bay for a permanent naval headquarters.
An inquiry as to the relative merits of
this and several other points was instituted
some time ago, and the reports forwarded
through the commander of the Asiatic sta
ton are not favorable to Subig bay holding
that it has disadvantages similar to those
urged against Manila bay. Several other
points are suggested as offering good sites
for stations yards, including I,oio and
Olongpo. Naval Constructor Hobson has
taken different view, however, and has
presented a plan for an extensive naval es
tablishment on Subig bay. In view of the
differences of opinion it Is probable that a
naval board will be named to pass upon
the several points and select the one most
available for a station.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Is NOT WILT MAKES REMEDY VAL
UABLE.
Testimonials are good things and always
glad to get them. but they don't make our rem
edy any better.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are good because they
do good-because they cure.
Testimonials simply prove that the tablets have
helped other people, but it's yourself you are
most interested in, and whether they will cure you
is the question.
package costs but fifty cents at your druggists.
They are worth that If they only help you little
bit. The chance is worth taking at the price.
We put it OH that basis because you don't know
about the tablets II you knew as much about
them as we do you would have complete conf
dence; this advertising would be unnecessary. We
have seen them cure the worst of stomach
trouble. Cases Of long standing and obstinacy,
cases that other medicines and even high priced
doctors had failed to subdue.
Here are some testimonials. If you care to read
them we have thousands Of them:
Rev. J. R. Hoag of Wymore Nebraska, writes:
For six years have been troubled with dyspepsia.
Last fall 1 became very much alarmed at some
symptoms of heart trouble and came to believe
there was a sympathetic relation between the two
diseases. Or rather, that the stomach trouble was
the cause of me heart disturbance. hit upon
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets for remedy and in
vested a dollar and half for three boxes which
lasted me three months, and can eat any kind
of food l want an0 nave u gOOu, vigorous appe-
tite. Although 1 am seventy-seven years old,
now feel perfectly well, and without being
quested by any make this statement
compliment to the virtues of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Mrs Lydia Bartram of Assyria, Mich, writes:
have suffered from stomach trouble for ten years
and five different doctors gave ME only temporary
relief. Mr.. E. e. Page advised me to try Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets and four boxes did
more permanent benent than all the doctors medi-
cines that have ever taken.
We honestly believe that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the best medicine ever made for the
cure Of stomach troubles
Don't mistake meaning. We don't claim
them to cure anything but dyspepsia and stom-
achic disorders. Just the thing Is what they
are made for but that thing is the cause
the starting point of nearly ali the sickness in
the world.
Use Stuart's Tablets regularly. Keep your stom-
ach right and you can never be sick.
