row win say:
Seventeen Chicago syrup manufaetur-
ing concerns and scores of syrup max
ers in other cities, representing hundred
of thousands Of dollars of invested cap
ital have seen their business almost de-
stroyed as the result of a war of ex
termination started against them two
months ago by the Glucose Sugar Re
filming company, known otherwise as the
glucose trust.
Within the last so days. so the syrup
manufacturers say, the glucose trust
has gone into syrup making and has put
up the price of raw products and reduc-
ed the price of syrups to it's customer rs
to such a degree that the other syrup
makers are unable to do a satisfactory
business.
Affairs of the syrup makers have
reached such crisis that a meeting Of
the principal manufacturers of the Uni
ted States who are organized into the
National Syrup association has been
called in Chicago early in July to devise
some method of fighting the trust and
resuming satisfactory business. In the
meantime - out of the II Chicago syrup
factories practically have closed their
doors and the remainder have given up
syrup making and gone into other lines
of business.

B. P. Scott Says Men Are Needed in
Wheat Belt

B. P. Scott, assistant secretary of the
state bureau of labor. has returned from
a tour through the wheat belt, where
ne has been investigating the oppor-
tunity for the employment of men dur
ing the harvest season.
Men are very scarce" said Mr.. Scott
today, and in my judgment the people
in the wheat belt will be paying within
two weeks $35 per day for harvest
hards."
Mr. Scott says the men who have
wheat are practically without men to
assist them in the harvesting, and that
every effort is now being made to hire
men for the season. Some of the big
farmers who have an immense acreage. -
remarked Mr.. Scott, are ready to al
most buy a man until after the harvest
ends"

tie child can take Stuart's Tablets
WITH safety and benefit il its d.
gestion is weak and the thousands
of cures accomplished BY their
regular daily use are easily ex-
planned when it is understood that
they are composed OF vegetable es-
sences, aseptic pepsin. diastase
and Golden Seal, which mingle
with the food and digest 1t thor
oughly, giving the overworked
stomach chance to reeuperate.
Dieting never cures dyspepsia,
neither do pills and cathartic med
icines, which simply irritate and
inflame the intestines.
When enough food is eaten and
promptly digested there will be no
constipation, nor in fact will there
be- disease of any kind. because
good digestion means good health
in every organ.
The merit and success of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets are world
wide and they are sold at the mod
crate price of so cts. for full sized
package in every drug store in the
United States and Canada. as well
as in Europe.

VERY FEW PEOPLE
Are Free From Some Form of In
digestion.

Are Free From Some Form of In
digestion.
Very few people are free from
some form of indigestion, but
scarcely two will have the same
symptoms.
Some suffer most directly after
eating, bloating from gas in stom-
aeh and bowels, others have
heartburn or sour risings, still
others have palpitation of heart,
headaches, sleeplessness, pains in
chest and under shoulder blades,
some have extreme nervousness as
in nervous dyspepsia.
But whatever the symptoms
may be, the cause in all cases OF
indigestion is the same, that is,
the stomach for some reason fails
to properly and promptly digest
what is eaten.
This is the whole story of stom-
ach troubles in nut shell. The
stomach must have rest and as,
sistance and Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets give it both by supplying
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 thoroughly di-
gest and assimilate the food eaten.
One grain of the active principle
in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
digest 5000 grains of meat, eggs
or other wholesome food, and this
claim has been proven by actual
experiment which any one can
perform for himself in the follow
ing manner: Cut hard boiled eggs
into very small pieces, as it would
be if masticated, place the egg and
two or three of the tablets in a
bottle or jar containing warm
water heated to SO degrees (the
temperature of the body, and keep
it at this temperature for three
and one-half hours, at the end of
which time the egg will be as COM
pletely digested as it would have
been in the healthy stomach of a
hungry boy.
The point of this experiment is
that what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's will do to the egg in the bottle
it will do to the egg or meat in the
stomach and nothing else will rest
and invigorate the stomach so
safely and effectually. Even a lit
