FRIED ONIONS
Indirectly Caused tho Death of tho
Worlds Greatest General.


1t Is a matter of history that Napo-
leon was n gourmand, an inordinate
lover of the good things of the table,
and history further records that his ia
vorte dish was fried onions; his death
from cancer OF the stomach IT is
claimed also was probably caused from
his excessive Indulgence of this fond
ness for the odorous vegetable.
The onion is undoubtedly whole
some article of food, in fact has many
medicinal qualities of value, but 1t
would be difficult to find a more indi-;
gestible article than friend onions. and
to many people they are simply poison,
but the onion does not stand alone in
this respect. Any article of food that
is not thoroughly digested becomes a
source of disease and discomfort
whether 1t be friend onions or beef
steak.
The reason why any wholesome food
is not promptly digested is because the
stomach lacks some important element
of digestion: some stomachs lack pep
tone, others are deficient in gastric
juice still others lack hydro-chloric
acid.
The one thing necessary to do in any
case Of ,soo.. {. :.,cs.!cn is to supply those
elements of digestion which the stom-
ach lacks, and nothing does this 50
thoroughly and safely as Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets.
Dr., Richardson in writing a thesis OF
treatment of dyspepsia and indigestion
closes his remarks by saying, Fol
those suffering from acid dyspepsia
shown by sour. watery risings. or FOL
fatulent dyspepsia shown by gas OF
the stomach, causing heart trouble ant
difficult breathing, as We'll az for al
other forms of stomach trouble, tn
safest treatment is to take one or tw'
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets afte
each meal. advise them because the
contain no harmful drugs, but are com
posed OF valuable digestives. which &c
promptly upon the food eaten. neve

chronic dyspepsia which Stuart's Tab
lets would not reach.
Cheap cathartic medicines claimin
to cure dyspepsia and Indigestion ca
have no effect whatever in actively al
costing the food and to call any ca
thart!c medicine a cure for indigestio
is a misnomer.
Every druggist in the United State
and Canada sells Stuart's Dyspepsi
Tablets. and they are not only tn
safest and most successful, but III
most scientific of any treatment for II
digestion and stomach troubles

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING.
Directors to Take Up several Matters
of Importance.

A meeting of the directors of the
Commercial Club will be held tonight in
the parlors of the City National Bank.
The principal business to come up for
consideration is the plans for raising
the 500 bonus for the establishment of
the Spencer-Letts coffee roasting plant.
Plans will also be discussed for in
creasing the membership of the club
and placing it in a better position for
practical work. The matter of secur-
ing federal building in this city will

that the club will take charge of the
petitions now out. Plans will be pre-
sented for the reorganization of the
canning company established in this
city last year, in order to give the COM
pany larger working capital.
