INTERESTING, IF TRUE.
You Can Try IL For Yourself ana
Prove 1t.

One grain of the active principle In
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
5000 grains of meat, eggs or other whole
some food. and this claim has been proved
by actual experiment which any one can
perform for himself in the following man
ner: Cut hard boiled eggs into very
small pieces. as IL would be il masticated,
place the egg and TWO or three OF the
tablets in bottle or jar containing
warm water heated 10 9S degrees (the
temperature of the body and keep 1t at
this temperature for three ana one-h half
hours. a. the end OF which time the egg
will be as completely digested as II wound
have been in the healthy stomach of
hungry boy.
RE point of this experiment is that
what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do
to the egg in the bottle it will do to the
egg or meat In the stomach and nothing
else will rest and invigorate the stomach
so safely and eftectually. Even a little
child can take Stuart's Tablets with safe
ty and benefit II its digestion is weak, and
the thousands of cures accomplished by
their regular daily use are easily eX-
planned when it is understood that they
are composed of vegetable essences, asep-
tic peDsin. diastase and Golden Seal,
which mingles with the food and digests
1t thoroughly, giving tho overworked
stomach a chance to recuperate.
Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither
do pills and cathartic medicines, which
simply irritate and inhame the intestines.
When enough food is eaten and prompt
ly digested there will be no constipation,
nor in fact will there be disease of any
lind because good digestion means good
health in every organ.
The merit and success OF Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are world wide and they
are sold at the moderate price of so cents
for full sized package in every drug store
in the United States and Canada. as we'll
as in Europe.

Rising An in ORANGE.

La Grange. Texas September 25.-Eariy
this morning the mayor OF this city received
q telegram from Governor Sayers stating that
the Colorado river was ten feet higher than
ever before. to warn people living in the
river valley to move their stock to higher
ground and also to notify the towns below
here on the river A couple OF hours later
the mayor received another telegram stat
ing that the river had reached point twenty
FIVE feet higher than ever before and that
it was urgent that people be notified Upon
telephoning the governor 1t was learned
that this big rise was at Goldthwate. The
river did not begin to rise at this place
until about ~ 80 p. nj. and from that time
until p. m. it had risen about fourteen
feet and is still rising at the rate of about
two feet per hour. A great deal of drift
because of the high wind at the time of the
Galveston disaster.

Austin. Texas. September 25.-The Colorado
river began falling here today after hav-
ing risen about nineteen feet and all danger
of an overflow has apparently passed.
From the Perdnalcs, the Llano, the san
saba. the Concho and their tributaries the
news comes that the waters are stationary
and falling. No loss of life reported al
though many cattle were drowned and con-
siderable injury done to crops, fences ana
buildings Along the San Saba many valu-
able irrigation plants were damaged
From Mr. Larsey, a st. Louis commercial
traveller, who left Menardville Sunday and
reached here today. II is learned that the
san Saba river rose ten feet higher than
all previous records and swept the many
ranches along its course OF cattle and other
property. He left Menardville before the
rise aud could tell nothing OF what hap
pened there No communication has been
had with that town for three days.
No reports OF damage in the Colorado
valley below Austin have been received but
many persons living In the lowlands moved
out last night in obedience to warnings sent
them from here,
| The report that the town Of Marble Falls
was washed away which gained curreno,
here last night was erroneous. The river
rose considerably there. but It is located be-

ing sufficient TO give ample temporary
relief. but the great need is money or
building material so that people may re-
build their ruined home and remain heru.
Otherwise they must abandon all their
improvements and lose years of labor.
A little assistance now would enable
them TO stay in the country and greatly
reduce their losses. 1t would be a mat
ter of great economy as it would enable
the people the sooner to become self
supporting. II part of the cash con-
tributions should be divided among the
people pro rata according to the per
cent of their loss 1t would be better
than TO invest in surplus provisions.
Another trouble is that ali the sup
plies are sent to the larger centers OF
suffering, TO the neglect OF the smaller
places. 1t Is on the smaller places and
rural districts that the larger mla de-
pend in time of prosperity, then it is
certainly OF interest that these smaller
places should not be abandoned.
