A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia
md Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans is
indigestion or in it's chronic form, dys-
pepsia, and for the very reason that II is
SO common many people neglect taking
proper treatment for what they consider
trifiing stomach trouble, when, as matter
of fact, indigestion lays the foundation for
many incurable diseases. No person with
a vigorous. healthy stomach will fall a
victim to consumption. Many kidney dis
eases and heart troubles date their begin
ming from poor digestion; thin. nervous
people are really so because their stomachs
are out of gear; weary, languid, faded
out women owe their condition to imper-
feet digestion.
When nearly every person You meet is
afflicted with weak digestion it is not sur
prsing that nearly every secret patent
medicine on the market claims to be a
cure for dyspepsia, as well as score or
ether troubles, when in fact. as DR.. Wer-
thier says, there is but one genuine dys-
pepsia cure which is perfectly safe and
reliable. and moreover, this remedy is not
a patent medicine, but 1t is scientific
combination of pure pepsin Q-ee from
animal matter), vegetable essences, fruit
salts. and bismuth. 1t is sold ~ drug
gists under name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. No eXtravagant claims are made
for them but for indigestion or any stoh-
ach trouble. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tabiets
are far ahead of any remedy yet discov-
cred. They act on the food eaten, no
dieting is necessary. simply eat all the
wholesome food you want and these tab
lets will digest it. A cure results, be-
cause all the stomach needs is a lest.
which S;uart's Dyspepsia Tablets give by
doing the work of digestion. je25,2S

special meeting of the General Electric
Company has been called for July II, in

First Vice President CHI. Warren, OF
the Central Railroad OF New Jersey, is
| not pessimist in respect either to the
| railroad situation or to general business
conditions. He says: az
Il see no warrant for any alarm be-
cause of present conditions, nor for appre-
hension in respect to the future. All one
has to do properly to appreciate the stu
| alton is to read the earnings of the rail-
roads, published from time to time in
financial and trade papers. They tell
plainly and emphaticaily how well the
| railways of the country are doing-that
their earnings are not only holding up,
but are showing steady increases. The
figures are about the best refutation to
the laments of calamity howlers that 1
know Of
las for our own system, / may say that
we are doing very satisfactory business.
At present We are experiencing the GUS
tomary decreased business for the sum-
mer, as compared with the spring and fall |:
bu: we are still showing increases, as
compared with previous years. The in
creases are perhaps not as large as they
were in the spring months or as they
probably will be in the fall, but that IS to
be explained for the reason that in the
summer business is more uniform than
at any other time, the mean level being
about the same and less fluctuation being
apparent
The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1900-06-25

A showing equally striking as to declines
In prices of securities and as to increases
in earnings could be made for the indus
trial companies generally. The price levels
are indeed even more depressed than in
the railway securities. In many of the
companies there is no comparison to make
with former years because they are newly
organized, but the reports issued from
month to month certainly give ample
ground for satisfaction. Those of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company and the
American Car and Foundry Company Is
sued during the past week are samples.
The following table was compiled day
or two ago by one of the New York brok-
erage frIns, showing the approximate yield
OF the more important industrial securities
to the investor. If bought at the prices
of June Is last The showing would be
even more remarkable at present as the
declines in these securities since that time
have been important. The figures FOR
American Steel and Wire common. now
selling at 30. and for Tennessee Coal and
Iron now selling at CO, may be cited as
instances.

To Evict sparrows.
(From the Hartford Times-)

English sparrows make as much trouble for
street railway managers as for other people.
oar houses and shops, especially if the roofs
are carried on tr,isscs and have high gables, make
inviting quarters for the birds. The street
Railway lteview'' tells Of two plans that are
sometimes adopted to evict these unwelcome
tenants: one is 10 Gre into the building few
charges 81 hne bird shot, and the other to put
all owl ia the building. The sight OF the owl
With sparrow in is claws is dsheartening
one for the other sparrows and they quickly
leave. Gre manager tried TO eiectrocute the birds
by uniting no two wires close together, connect
ing one TO the trolley line and one TO the ground
SO that sparrows slighting on them would clcse
the circuit; the birds would make a great out
cry when they happaled TO strike this treach-
erous roos1ing place, but soon learned to avoid
the charged wires and the plan was failure.
