VERY FEW PEOPLE
Are Free From Some Form of Indi-
gesti0n.


Very few people are free from some
form OF indigestion, but scarcely TWO viii
have the same symptoms.
Some suffer most directly after eating.
bloating from gas in stomach and bowels
others have heart burns or sour risings'
still others have palpitation OF heart,
headaches, sleeplessness, pains in chest
and under shoulder blades; some have ex-
IRENE nervousness. as in nervous dys-
pepsis.
But whatever the symptoms may be. the
cause in all cases of indigestion is the
same; that is. the stomach for some rea-
son fails TO properly and promptly digest
what is eaten.
This is the whole story OF stomach
troubles In a nutshell The stomach must
have rest and assistance. and stuart S
Dyspepsia Tablets give IL both by supply
ing those natural digestives which every
weak stomach lacks. owing TO the failure
of the peptic glands in the stomach TO
secrete sufficient acid and pepsin to thor
ourhly digest and assimilate the lood
eaten. =
one grain of the active principle in
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets viii digest
z 600 grains of meat, eggs. or other whole
some food and this claim has been proven
by actual experiment. which anyone can
perform for himself in the following man
ner: Cut hard boiled egg into very small
pieces as It would he il masticated. place
the egg and two or three OF the tablets
in n bottle or Jar containing warm water
heated 10 rs degrees (the temperature OF
the body) and keep II at this temperature
for three and one-hslf hours. at the end
of which time the egg will be as COM
plctelv digested as il would have been IN
The healthy stomach of hungry boy.
The point of this experiment is that
| what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Will dc
4 to the egg in the bottle II will do TO the
| egg or meat in the stomach and nothing
else will rest and invigoTate the stomach
SO safely and effectually.. Even a httlt
| child can take Stuart's Tablets with safe
/ ty and benefit If its digestion is veal
| and the thousands Of cures accomplished
| by their regular daily use are easily ex-
niained when il is understood that they
are composed of vegetable essences, asep-
| tic pepsin diastase. and Golden Seal
which mingle with the food and digest II
| thoroughly, giving the overworked stom-
ach a chance TO recuperate
Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither
| do mills and cathartic medicines, which
! simply irritate and inhame the intestines
when enough food is eaten and prompt
! Nv dieested there will be no constipation
| nor in fact will there be disease oil an.
kind. because good digestion means goo'
! health in every organ.
! The merit and success OF Stuarts Dys
nensia Tablets are world wide. and thel
are sold at the moderate price of so cent:

store in the United States and Canada a:

NC COMPROMISE LIKELY.
The Fight Over the baltimore Rail
Grounds Continues.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 21.-President Han
lon was surprised this morning at reports
that a compromise had been suggested in
Baseball and Exhibition Company. He
with Mr.. Won der Horst and Mr.. Bormann
were at Mr.. Clendennins office late yes
terday afternoon, and no such action was
agreed upon by them. Mr.. Clendennin
said this morning that he had brief talk
with Judge Sans late yesterday after
noon. which merely resulted in both par
ties agreeing to a consultation at IL
O'Clock tomorrow morning.
Judge Sans is out of town today. AT
the conference it is proposed to discuss
the present status OF the Union Park case
and each party will listen to what the
other side may have TO Say on the sub
ject. AS for Won der Horst and Hanlon,
they have not moved from their former
position.
At present Messrs. Won der Horst and
Hanlon expect to continue as the owners
of the Baltimore League franchise. and
expect to have team representing this
city as usual during the coming season.

marized as that the company will lose

The tumble in the price Of Leather COM
mon has been expected on general prin-
cipIes, because the tips;ers have been
promising that 1t would have rapid adj
vance in the near future. II is probable
that there have been more predictions OF
a violent advance in Leather during the
past month than there were even when
the stock was selling at 40. Immediately
before II had its great tumble. II has
been said that the Standard Oil people
are in control of the common STOCK and
that they are powerful enough to force
their plan for the Encouragement OF the
capital stock OF the company. The argu-
ment from this has been that while at
present the intrinsic value Of the common
stock is nothing, 1t will be given value
by taking something away from the rights
of the preferred stock. This entire story
has had suspicious look. as If it were for
market purposes largely, and careful
brokers have said that the insiders were
selling the stock whenever possible No
body except the insiders can know what
the next move will be, as the break oil
Yesterday, instead of the universally pre-
dicted great advance. shows. The stock
