TRUTHS EASILY DIGEsTED.
Concerning q NJ ethod OF Curing Dys-
ncpsin and Stomnch Troubles.

pepsia and stomach Troubles.
Dyspepsia and indigestion are consid-
cred incurable by many people who do
not realize the advance made in modern
medical science. And because by the
old methods and remedies cure was
rarely, If ever obtained.
dyspepsia IS now cured as readily as
any other disease.
What the dyspeptic wants is abund-
ant nutrition, which means plenty of
good. wholesome, well-cooked food and
something to assist the weak stomach
to digest II. This is exactly the purpose
for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are adapted and this ls the method by
which they cure the worst cases of Dys-
pepsia; in other words. the patient eats
plenty OF wholesome food and Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets digest 1t for him. In
this way the system is nourished and
the overworked stomach rested, because
the tablets will digest the food whether
the stomach works or not. One of these
tablets will digest 5000 grains of meat
or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is remedy
sold on its merits and is the purest, SAT-
est and cheapest remedy sold for etom-
ach troubles, and every trial makes one
more friend for this excellent prepara-

MASON CITY FOR JUDGE SMITH.

Indications Tint lie Will Re Named

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, May 9s.-Ones of the most
exciting caucuses held in Mason City
in years resulted in the selection OF
delegates from all the wards to the
county convention in favor of Judge
G.. r. Smith over his competitor, j. j..
Clark. Some of the county caucusess
will be held this week, but the indica-
tions are that Judge Smith will have
majority in both the county and dis
trict conventions as the delegates In
five of the other counties of the district
are said to favor Judge Smith. The
Mason City Globe-liaZette says:
Until the. county convention of June,
9 there will be warm discussion
among the republican voters over
who shall be endorsed BY this county
for district Judge. The position of this
paper Is Well known. 1t is that Mr.. c.
p. Smith. having been able to present
to Governor Shaw a showing that he
had the endorsement of a majority of
the attorneys of the district, and hav-s
ing been appointed to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Judge
sberwin. should be given a full term.
Judge Smith has indeed surprised his
friends by the ability with which he
has handled his high office since Ianu=-
airy and thus made himself all the more
worthy of their continued support
.It is the merest nonsense to say that
Governor Shaw appointed Judge Smith
Ito please Mr.. Blythe or because he had
4 fear of him. The governor is not that
style Of a man. He knows full Well
4 that so important a place as district
judge should not be given as a political
favor to any man and that TO make an
! appointment of this kind would be a
disgrace 10 his administration. He
also knew thatin appointing Mr.. Smith
he would be accused of favoring Mr..
| Blythe. and for that reason he would
! be all the more sure TO know that the
district at large endorsed his choice.
