An Old Theory
Exploded
Food notDigestedin the
Stomach.
This Organ only Prepares it for
Assimilation by the Intestines.

Until r few months ago the medical
profession. well as the public at
large. have always believe ed that food
WAS digested in the stomach; but
thanks to science. they are now en-
"bied to follow the whole process of
digestion with their own eyes from
the moment food enters the mouth
until il is taken into the system. or
carried OFF through the bowels. Here
tOfOre all remedies for the cure of
dyspepsia have been given with the
idea of assisting the stomach to di-
Ge~t food. and the discovery that this
organ does not digest it at all ex-
plains the cause of their failure TO
cure the disease. and its constant in
crease in spite of the thousand and
one remedies used. Another and
cquaft! important discovery WINS misc
made; that there are three distinct
kinds of dyspepsia. two of which re-
Uuire different remed les. and he rem
edy for one must he exactly opposite
To that of the other in character. For
instance. acid dyspepsia requires m

together with effect. The third and
most dangerous of all Intestinal dys-
pepsiab requires germicide which

enough to destroy the baciili which
cause the disease. Understanding
this and knowing that they possess

LACEY BILL PASSES.
House Takes Favorable Action
On Proposed Bird Law.

Washington, May 1.-The house Mon
day passed the Lacey bill to enlarge
the powers of TIE department of agri-
culture and to prohibit interstate COM
merce in game killed in violation of To-
cal laws. 1t authorizes the secretary
of agriculture to provide for, the in
PRODUCTION and restoration of game,
song and insectivorous wild birds. 1t
gives him the power to prevent the in
and animals and prevents the killing
of game in violation of state laws for
concealed shipment to states where it
can be sold in the open markets. The
senate bill to create commission of
five to investigate and report upon the
commercial and industrial conditions
in China and Japan was debated at
length, but was vigorously antagonized
by the democrats, and they finally sue
ceeded in striking out the enacting
clause in committee, and this motion
was pending when the house adj
journed. If the motion prevails in the
house, the bill is dead. The bill for a
"
polygamists for election as senators
and representatives and to prohibit
polygamy, which was reported by the
committee on the election of president,
vice president and representatives in
congress, was referred to the commit
tee on judiciary, after meeting with
opposition from both sides of the house.
Every speaker who antagonized the bill
said he opposed polygamy, but did not
see any reason for legislating in the
constitution and invading the rights of
the states. The house agreed to the
conference report on the joint reso-
luton extending the tenure of military
officers in Porto Rico.

ton

Like this?
Don't you know good thing
When you see it?
Goldarn it, man,
thought that You and Me
And the Eagle Bird
And the Fourth of July
And G.. Washington
Had organized combine
With headquarters in the Temple of
Fame,
That was as everlasting as the ada
mantine hills
And the Palladium of the nation s
liberties.
Indeed l did, George.
And when you came back a Conquer
ing Hero,
Heated over you and your utterances
With a swelling pride
Second only to that l felt
When | shook out my folds over the
wrecks
Of CASTLE and Aragon in Manila bay.
But now
Oh George!
BY George, when / read that inter
view of yours
l dropped to half mast
With dull thud.
You've got down to the common level,
have you?
And you've struck yearn for votes
Out in the seething current of
Political ambitions?
For votes!
Common ordinary votes
That candidates go down on their
hunkers for
To him that hath
Yet may withhold.
Angels and ministers of grace defend
US!
Are you arrived at such a pass?
Amt Me and the Fourth
And G. w. and the Bird of Freedom
Good enough for you?
Isn't a whole nations gratitude suf-
icient,
Without humiliating yourself
To stand as the figurehead
OF half of it?
WHAT'S tigurehead anyhow, George?
Do you steer ship by it?
Or hustle her DER the waves,
Or fight battle
Or make a new map
With it?
George, George
The more L think of you
Letting a nasty little insect
Like a presidential bee
Buzz you out of the glorious combine
In which you were an ornament
OF more than Oriental splendor,
The more am inclined to hope
Earnestly and pray devoutly
That you will get it in the neck
In way that will make you wish
You had filed sailors grave
Among the sun-kissed hills
OF listless, lazy, luxurious Luzon.
George, George,
You make the Temple of Fame
Feel like sticking up ITO Let'notice
Over your niche;
You make your illustrious namesake
Turn over in his sarcophagus;
You make the Eagle
Drop his wings and refuse to soar
In the useless fight for
Stuff to make hero of;
You make the glorious Fourth of July
Feel like thirty cents,
And you make Me
Tired.
Indeed you do, George.
