THE SIMPLEST CURE FOR INpI-
GESTlON,
A. Well n. the snfe.t md Cn..,.s,

Az Well az the Snfest and Cheapest.
The new medical discovery, Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, digest the food instead of
making the worn-out stomach do all the
work. give It a much rest and a
cure of dyspepsia is the natural result
You get nourshment and rest at the
same time because these Tablets will thor
oughly digest all wholesome food taken
into the stomach, whether the stomach
works or not. A cure is certain to result
because the digestive organs are given
chance to rest and recover their natural
vigor and tone. The Tablets are then no
longer required.
To show the manner in which the rem
edy acts on different people and how quick
" and effectually il cures stomach troubles
we present a few recent cases.
Mr. ]. o. Wondly, of Peoria, H. writes:
was unable to eat anything but the plain
est food, and even that often distressed
me. but since using one box of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets ! can eat anything and
eevrytbing l want.
Mrs Samuel Kepple, of Girty, Pa,
writes: ! have been entirely relieved of my
stomach troubles by your Tablets. / suf-
fered three years with sour stomach and
gas at night. ! am thankful for them.
Mrs. A. Z. Bowen, Barnard Vt, writes:
think Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are the
best thing for dyspepsia l ever took.
will recommend them to anyone troubled
as bad as was.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will not dis
appoint because they cure dyspepsia surely
and lastingly by causing the food to be
properly aseimilated, and cure constipation
by producing the proper quantity Of bile,
and sold by all druggists at sec per pack
age.

dency may be downward:

In the industrial group some OF the steel
stocks are lower now than they were dur
ing the excited selling of December. Steel
Hoop is down 90 points from the highest
and is two points under DEFENDERS lowest
price. Sugar is off q L. points and is
1-2 below the panic price Federal Steel
is under the December price, and Laclede
Gas, National Lead, National Steel Pa
cifc Mail, United States Rubber, and even
Western Union are in the same category.
The industrials have Jared much worse on
the whole than the railroads, and they are
not likely to rally as easily as railroad
shares. If business continues slack the
railroads must surely suffer ST. Paul's
decrease in gross earnings for the first
week in May, the first for very long
period, may be significant. One Philadel-
pha manufacturer who has five statesmen
upon the road says that since April the
five men have not sold as many goods as
one man had been accustomed to sell.

The following table shows the low prices

that the boom Of the early months of the
year carried prices up from 3 or points
in the inactive securities to 40 points or
more in some of the specialties, with an
average gain of 10 to 20 points, and that
the reaction has tumbied the level some

The bear interest believes that the bull
pool has more stock than it can handle.
and it asserts that the price has been put
up on the expectation of a dividend, which
is not likely to be declared. On the other
hand. the bull interest believes that the
short interest is so weak that ii will prove
an easy bull target. Talk is heard re-
garding an alleged corner in the stock.
While a corner may not exist, ii is evil
dent that some very strong buyers hold

the occasion to about two feet. The men
wear rubber boots and carry steel brush

harmless. The conduit is supplied with

Way-the water wasted out, and as the

When empty the Interior is thoroughly
washed, water pipe having hose attach

are flushed by opening from ten to twen-

water rush through at velocity that
will stir UP all sediment that has settled
in the main and allow 1t to flow out
through the hydrants.
