To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Three different companies are
knocking at the doors OF Council for
telephone franchises and Council on
next Tuesday night will take action
thereon. Council ought 10 go slow in
this matter. The merits and claims OF
each company should be weighed care
fully and impartially, and after all the
light and information possible is to be
had en- the subject, the company with
the most merits. which gives the better
promise of being in good faith. which
promises the better equipped plant,
and which gives to the city the better
consideration for rhe valuable franz
chise asked from the city Is the one
whose ordinance should be passed.
We understand that OF the three
companies the Home Construction and
Telephone Co.. OF Wheeling, toutsida
of free telephones TO the city which all
companies give), is the only one OF the
three that stands ready TO pay the city
for its franchise. Its ordinance pro-
vides that upon the passage OF the orr
dinance they will pay TO the city
100000 for the franchise. And this
is the first time in the history OF the
city of Wheeling that our city has
been offered any money for n franchise,
but on the contrary franchises worth
hundreds of thousands OF dollars have
been given away by our Council for
nothing. We are also informed OF the
three companies, the Home Constrhc-
ton and Telephone co. Is the only ona
which stIpulates in is .aGl!Wsne aiDeu

. BRAIN FOOD


= ~ Little Beneft Unless It II ID
gestcd.
Nearly everyone win admit that
rs nation we eat too much meat
and too little of vegetables and
the grains.
For business men, Office men
and clerks, and in fact everyone
engaged in sedentary or indoor
occupations, grains, milk and veg
etables are much more health
full.
Only men engaged in a severe
out door manual labor can live on
heavy meat diet and continue
in health.
AS general rule, meat once a
day Is sufficient for all classes OF
men, women and children, and
grains, fruit and vegetables should
constitute the bulk of food eaten.
But many of the most nutri-
tious foods are difficult of diges-
ton and it is of no use to advise
brain workers to eat largely of
grains and vegetables where the
oAoSoA4On IL lOO WCdA W dSSkl1l-
late them properly.
1t is always best to get the best
results from our food that some
simple and harmless digestive
should be taken after meals to as
sist the relaxed digestive organs,
and several years experience have
proven Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
to be very safe. pleasant and
effective digestive and a remedy
which may be taken daily with the
best results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can
hardly be called a patent medi-
cine, as they do not act on the
bowels nor any particular organ,
but only ON the food eaten. They
supply what weak stomachs lack,
pepsin diastase and by stimulat-
ing the gastric glands increase the
natural secretion of hydrochloric
acid.
People who make dsily prac-
tice of taking one or two of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets after
each meal are sure to have per-
feet digestion which means per-
feet health.
There is no danger Of forming
an injurious habit as the tablets
contain absolutely nothing but
natural digestives; cocaine, NOR
phine and similar drugs have no
place in a stomach medicine and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
certainly the best known and
most popular of all stomach rene
dies.
Ask you druggist for a fifty
cent package of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets and after weeks use
note the improvement in health,
appetite and nervous energy.

Sir:-Some of these days somebody
with horse sense will open restaur-
ant in Wheeling and make a fortune.
He will give prompt service, and
charge a reasonable rate, and will see
to it that the servants of his patrons
attend to their duties. The opening is
a fine one.
Three times within ten days have
gone into a Market street restaurant
and sat at a table for half an hour
without being waited upon. Twice l
left without food, going elsewhere,
and the third time 1 found after wait
ing twenty-eight minutes to give my
order, that prices had been increased
thirty-three per cent. | hear the
same complaint from others, and the
time is fast coming when the men who
have to eat at alleged restaurants must
get together and make united kick
for fair treatment.
