Discomfort is the want of self-reli-
ance; It is infirmity of will. Regret
calamities if you can thereby help the
sufferer; if not, attend your own work
and already the evil begins to be re-
haired.

The French scientific journal, La
Nature, warns its readers against the
time-honored custom of using spiders
webs to stop bleeding Remarking
that old webs from stables are pre-
ferred by those who resort to this
remedy, it points out that such webs
are peculiarly liable to be infected
with the microbes of various diseases
which may be communicated from
animals to man. Among other af-
fiictions that have been traced to the
use of old, dusty spiders webs bound
upon wounds is the dreaded tetanus or
lockjaw.

The Taft commission has appointed
a supervisor who in a short time will
begin to take a census of the Philip-
pine Islands. The purpose is not only
to determine more accurately the num-
Der of Inhabitants, but also to discover
the mineral and agricultural POSSIBLE
tiles, and the social conditions which
prevail in the islands. Those EMU
merators who think they had a hard
time gathering facts for the census
just completed in this country will
sympathize with the enumerators in
the Philippines, where there are "a
tribes, speaking nearly as many dia-
lects, and where many of the natives
still have their mausers and their bo
los hidden in their huts.

FRIED ONIONS
Indirectly Caused the Death OF
the Worlds Greatest General.

IL is a matter of history that NAPOLEON
WAS a gOurmand, an inOrdinate lover of the
good things of the table. and history fur
ther records that his favOrita dish was fried
onions; mis- death from cancer of stomach
it is claimed also was probably caused from
his excessive Indulgence of this fondncss
for the Ordorous vegetable.
The onion is undoubtedly a wholesome
article of food, in fact has many medicinal
qualities Of value, but it would be difficult
to find more indigcStibia article than fried
onions, and 10 many people they are simply
poison, but the onion does not stand alone
in this respect. AnRarticle of food that is
not thoroughly digiGIes becomes a source
of disease and discomfort, whether it be
fried onions or beef steak.
The reason why any. wholesome fool is
not promptly digested Is because the
stomach lacks somia important element of
digestion; some stufnachs lack peptone,
others are deficient in gastric iuice. still
others lack Hydro chioric acid.
The one thing necessary TO do in any
case OF poor digestion is TO supply those
clements of digeStiOif which the stomach
lacks, and nothing dnas this so thoroughly
and safely as Stuari's Dyspepsia Tablets.
DIR. Richardson IN writing a thesis on
treatment of dyspepsia and indigestion,
closes his remarks by saying: For those
suffering from acid idldyspepsia. shown bv
sour watery risings, or for iatuleut dvs-
pcpSia, shown by gas an stomach causing
heart trouble and difficult breathing, as well
as for all other FORMS of stomach trouble.
the safest treatment is to take one or two of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal. | advise them because they contain
no harmful drugs, but are composed of
valuable digestives, which act promptly
upon the food eaten. | never knew ease
Of indigestion or even chronic dyspepsia
which Stuart's Tablets would not reach"
Cheap cathartic medicines claiming to
cure dyspepsia and Indigestion can have no
effect whatever in actively digosting the
food, and TO call any cathartc medicine a
cure for indigestion is misnomer
Every druggist in the United States and
Canada sells Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets,
and they are not only the safest and most
successful but the most scientific of any
treatment for Indigestion and stomach
troubles.

HOGS SOLD STEADY
Market Fluctuated but Very
Little Yesterday.
TOP PRICE WAS $3.50
General Run of Hogs Were
Common in Quality.

The hog market yesterday was steady.
1t opened a triie weak, but steadied later
in the day, owing to the strong demand.
The reports from other markets were
discouraging, but this had little effect
on the local one. The demand was strong
and trading was active. everything be-
ing sold as quickly as 1t came in.
The top price of the day was $50. This
was Oh cents lower than the previous
day, but the difference was due to the
better quality of the hogs on sale Fri
day. The bulk of the sales went at ST.
$3.50. The bulk was practically the
same as the previous day.
The receipts yesterday were light even
for a Saturday, and some little smaller
than a week ago. There were no wagon
hogs on sale. The car-lots arrived early
and the market closed considerably ear
lier than usual The receipts for the
week, however, were good and compared
well with previous weeks Of this year,
and were larger than a year ago.
The quality yesterday was rather COM
mon. There was one load Of good heavy
packers in, but the rest OF the run was
was, taken as whole, not as good as
yesterday fridays run was not better
than usual, if six or seven topgy loads
be left out.
The market compared with other west
ern ones yesterday. Here hogs sold
steady, while other markets quoted hogs
as being weak and in most cases at least
s cents lower.
