WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Is Not What Makes a Remedy
Valuable.

Testimonials are good things and we
are always glad to get them. but they
don't make our remedy 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 ques-
ton.
It is very easy to find out-try them.
"A full 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 1t on that basis because YOU
don't know about the tablets. If YOU
knew as much about them as we do you
would have complete confidence: this
advertising would be unnecessary We
have seen them cure the worst cases of
stomach trouble. Cases of long standing
and obstinancy. cases that other medi-
cines 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 Wynore. Ne
braska, writes: For six years I have
been troubled with dyspepsia Last fall
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 the
Dyspepsia Tablets for a remedy and in
vested dollar and a half for three boxes
which lasted me three months and I can
eat any kind of food I want and have
good vigorous appetite. Although 1 am
seventy-seven years old, now feel per
fectly well and without being requested
by anyone make this statement as a
compliment to the virtues Of StuartsS
Dyspepsia Tablets
Mrs Lydia Bartram, of Assvria
Mich, writes: I have suffered from
stomach trouble for ten years and i've
different doctors gave me only tenn
porary relief. A Mr. E. r. Page advised
me to try Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets ana
four boxes did me more permanent hem
eft than all the doctors medicines that
have ever taken
We honestly believe Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the best medicine ever made
for the cure of stomach troubles.
Don't mistake our meaning. We don't
claim them to cure anything but dys-
pesia and stomachic disorders Just the
one thing is the cause.-The starting point
OF nearly all the sickness in the world
Use Stuart's Tablets regularly. Keep
your stomach right, and you can never
Be sick.

MILLIONS OF srAY-Ar-HoMEs.

The Boston Globe has been compar-
ing the popular vote for president
with the men of voting age according
to the census of 1900. 1t finds sur
prising facts of abstention in every
section of the country, not to be
wholly accounted for by the consider
able number OF unnaturaiized aliens
or by the disfranchisement OF negroes
or the criminal class, by invalidism
and other such causes. In all $780,
900 men of voting age did not par
ticipate in the election, and 1867.
299 went TO the polls.
In the southern states the percent
ages If abstention are of course high.
But how account for the absence of
80 per cent of the men of Massachu-
sets, "a per cent of the men of Rhode
Island, 40 per cent of the men Of
Maine-an average of 43 per cent for
the six New England states? How
account for the absence of 25 per cent
of New York's male adults and % per
cent of New jerseys?
The vote of Indiana was within ,
per cent of the possible electorate-a
surprising, perhaps suspicious show
ing-and the average percentage of
abstention for the middle western
states, including Illinois, was only IS
per cent.
The Pacific slope was supposed to
be most enthusiastic for McKinley's
imperialism. Yet in Washington so
per cent of the potential voters did
not appear at the polls, in Oregon 43
per cent and in California 40 per cent.
Whatever the reason for this popu-
lar Indifference, it is unfortunate.

over its surface are n number of small
islands which have no proper roots in

ed merely of accommodations of soil,
though trees OF considerable size grow
on some of them. These islands are
not stationary, but are carried slowly

is entirely engulfed.-New York Post.

Is THE CONSTITUTION DEAD.

Now that the argument of the Phil
ippine and Porto Rican cases has
been finished in the supreme court
the public has both sides of the mo-
mentous constitutional questions
raised and can form some idea of
what Will be the scope and effect of a
decision sustaining either contention,
says the New York Herald.
Especially is the claim of the gov
eminent now officially set forth for
matter of vital interest. All the
keener must be that interest, as well
as the expectancy with which the
judgment of the court will be awaited,
lnview of what may well be regarded
as the sensational answers of Mr..
Griggs to the numerous pointed
questions significantly put by several
Justices on the bench. The govern
ment's contention that the constitu-
ton does not apply TO the territories
or insular possessions until expressly
extended by congressional act, and
hence that the power of congress is
meanwhile absolute everywhere be-
vond the states, has been pushed by
critics of that theory to what seemed
to be extravagant if not ridiculous ex-
tremes. But no critic has vet gone
further in this direction and none
pointed out more extraordinary con-
stitutional possibilities of the conten-
ton than the attorney general of the
United States in his bold admissions
TO the court.
Why the attorney general was I'M
able TO answer Justice Harlan's in
quirv whether congress might estab-
lish titles of nobility is not apparent.
since his other admissions left but one
obvious reply to make
HAS the constitution ever been ex-
tended by congress to Alaska?" quer-
led Justice White. Not vet, " said
Mr.. Griggs.
From which it must follow that if
congress may neglect or refuse for
third of century to extend the con-
stitution to a territory it may neglect
or refuse for 3 century or forever 10
apply it to any of the newly acquired
possessions. If. then. the constitution
does not apply to them of its own
force, they may be kept for all time
beyond the pale of that basic law of
the republic.
do you think, asked Justice Hsr-
Ian, that congress was empowered
TO restrict the personal rights of citi-
zens in the territories" Yes" re-
piled Mr.. Griggs.
That is TO say, congress anywhere
outside the United States NAV abolish
trial by Jury; do away with that Ang-
lo-Ssxon bulwark of liberty, the writ
of hsbeas corpus; inflict barbarous
punishments; suppress freedom of
speech and press, and deprive any
