RULERS OF THE WORLD.
Meat Eating Nations Are the Lenders
In Every Branch of Human
Achievements.


The ruling nations OF the world are meat
eaters, and history records that they always
have been
Yegetari..ns and food cranks may explain
this in any way they choose, but the facts
remain that the Americans. English.
French. Russians and Germans are meat
eating nations. and they are also the most
energetic and most progressive.
The principal food of the heroic Boer sol
der known as Biltong is a sort of dried
beef, afiording a great deal OF nourishment
in highly concentrated form.
The weak races OF people are the rice
eating Chinese, Hindoos, and Siamese, re
garded since the dawn Of history as non
progressive superstitiOus. and inferior
physically and mentally to the meat-eating
nations who dominate them.
The structure of the teeth plainly indi-
Gates that human beings should subsist
upon a variety OF food meat. fruit and
grains and IL is unhygienic TO cOnfne one s
diet to any one OF those classes to- the ex-
clusion Of another.
Meat is the most concentrated and most
easily digested Of foods. but our manner Of
living is often so unnatural that the di-
gestive organs refuse to properly digest
meats, eggs and similar nutritious and
wholesome food. but II is not because such
food Is unwhOlesome. but the'real reason
is that the stomach lacks. from disease or
weakness, some necessary digestive ele-
ment; hence arising indigestion and later
on chronic dyspepsia.
Nervous people should eat plenty OF meat.
convalescents should make meat the pTin-
ci9al food Woodworking people have TO do
so. and brainworkers and Office men should
eat not 50 much meat, but at least once
day. and to ensure its perfect digestion
one Of two Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
should be taken after each meal because
they SUPPLY the peptones. diastase, and
fruit acids lacking in every case Of stom-

Nervous dyspepsia, catarrh Of stomach.
gastritis, sour stomach, gas. and acidity are
only different names for indigestion. the
failure to digest wholesome food and the
use OF Stuart Tablets cures them all be-
cause. by affOrding perfect digestion. the
stomach has a chance TO rest and recover
its natural tone and yigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the real
household medicine: Il is as safe and pleas
ant for the stomachache OF the baby as Il
is for the imperfect digestion OF its grand
sire
They are not a cathartic but a digestive
and no pill habit can ever follow their use:
the only habit Stuart's Tablets induce is
the habit of good digestion and conse-
quently good health.

Two services commemorative of the late
Dwight l.. Moody were held in this city
yesterday both meetings being addressed
by Ira D. Sankey who was closely asso-
GATED with the dead evangelist. The first
of the services was held at First Congrega-
tional Church at 3 clock in the afternoon.
the second at the First Baptist Church at
30 o'clock last evening. AT both places
the congregation completely filed the build
ing.
Mr.. Percy S. Foster presided at the after
noon meeting There were seated upon the
platform large number of members of the
Moody choir. which was organized during
the Moody meetings in Washington several
years ago. Mr.. Foster directed the singing.

Mr.. Sankey paid a beautiful tribute to his

many deeds of kindness and philanthropy.
Mr.. Sankey said he had travelled with Mr..

APPLICATION REFUSED.
Attorney DuvalFs Views of Question
Arising Under Tax Sale.

The attorney for the District has adj
vised the Commissioners to deny the request
of Mr.. John w. Thompson that the tax
sale made April 6. 1898, OF part of lot 1.
SQUARE west of square IA, assessed in the
name of Bernard MCGEE. be Cancelled.
1t appears fvom the certificate of the
collector of taxes, states the attorney, that
the said part of the lot was advertised for
sale March, 1899, for general taxes for
1897, special improvement tax, and an as
sessment for a sewer. amounting in all to
S411.13; that April 6, 1898. it was sold for
that amount to r. Y. Slater. to whom a
tax sale certificate was given; that before
forwarding the report of the tax sale to
the recorder of deeds the collector discov
cred that the sewer tax had been paid
February 10, 1898, prior to the sale, and
that the property had been enormously adj
vertised. therefor.
With the consent of Mr.. Slater the re-
port of the tax sale was corrected and an
other certificate made for the correct
amount, $S90.77, and the same was thus
recorded. Mr.. Slater. says the attorney was
duly notified when the certificate for the
correct amount had been prepared, and he
was requested 10 bring in the original GER
tificate and receive the difference in cash.
This he failed to do, but transferred the
original certificate for s417.13 to MI. Thomp-
son, who surrendered the same under pro-
test, receiving in lieu thereof the certifi-
cate for $39O.77 and the difference in cash.
1.-The question which arises" explains the
attorney. lis. was the collector correct in
issuing certificate for the correct amount,
emitting the item of tax that had been
paid and therefore enormously advertised,
or was the whole advertisement of the
property vitiated by the error and conse-
quently both certificates of sale rendered
void? The present case seems to fall clear
ly within section 173, R. S. D. c., which
provides:
:" No sale of any real property for taxes
shall be impaired or made void by reason
of any error of the proper officers in max
ing a computation of the amount of taxes
due, the expenses attendant on the adver-
tisement and sale. or of the purchase
money and the interest thereon. notwith-
standing the sum enormously computed
may have been paid by the purchaser, his
heirs or assizes; but all such sales and the
deeds which may be granted on the certifi-
Gates then issued shall be valid and bind
ing as il no such error had been made
Il am. therefore, of the opinion that the
corrected certificate Is in all respects valid;
that the sale of the said lot for taxes
April 6. 1898. was q good sale. and that the
0resent application shouA b refused"

a tiisps tch from Detroit Mich. last night
says, Leaders in this state of the pro-Boer
movement are arranging to call a confer
cree III Detroit of those active in the cause
in the various states for the purpose of
consolidating the movement in the hope
that such united effort may be influential
in preparing the way for mediation and
arbitration of the British oer differences.
The originator of this movement, Sy-
brant Wesse ius of Grand Rapids, was one
of the speakers at a mass meeting held this
afternoon. at which $3.50 Boer sympa hiz-
ers very often cheered the pro-Boer senti-
n.ents expressed. At the conclusion of the
meeting the following resolutions were
adoptt 4.
