THE FEAR OF HUMBUc
Prevents Many People From Trying
Good Medicine

Stomach troubles are so common and in
most cases so obstinate TO cure that people
are apt to look with suspicion on any rem
edy claiming to be a radical permanent
cure for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many
such pride themselves on their acuteness
in never being humbugged, especially in
medicines.
This fear Of being humbugged can be
carried too far; so far. in fact that many
people suffer for years with weak diges-
ton rather than risk a little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims made
Of a preparation so reliable and univer
sally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different In one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines. for
the reason that they are not a secret pat

ingredients but analysis shows them -

TRADE OF TWO NATIONS.
Commerce between Great Britain
md thc Initch stnte-

a comparison OF tho commercial stltis-
ties Of Great Britain and those Of the Uni
ted States for the last twenty-five years
shows some Interesting facts
Great Byltain's imports in 1870 were val
ued al $ial9. $50 U00 and In 1899 had in
creased 20 $500 go 600, the imports OF
the United States were valued at S503 l52. 70
s36 In 1875. and a $19S.Sl5.J7l iu 1899 For
every year of the twenty-five under COM
paris0u, except 1855 there was an excess
OF imports by the United States while
IN the case Of the United Kingdom there
was an excess Of imports for every year II
the period. In 1875 the excess Of exports
by the United States was $7,79A4S6. and
iu 1899 10 was S476.G5f,lG0, while on the
part OF Great Britain the excess OF i'm
ports iu 1870 was S44g314. 600. with an cN-
cess In 1899 of $3.50 .231 315.
During the twenty-five years named the
foreign commerce account Of the United
states shows a total excess OF exports over
imports Of $3,gIl.565.000 while that Of
Great Britain shows a total excess Of i'm
exports OF domestic merchandise from the
United Kingdom we're Sl.2S797I. OPS in
1899. against Sl.135.6i2.741 in 1885. an in
crease Of S152. 32S. 2s7. The chief c0ntribu-
tiCu 20 the years increase appears 20 have
been in metals and articles manufactured
tlGFelIGm. ana ID regard 10 this Item u is
notable that the gain has been owing to an
increase in prices rather than TO additional
shipments.
From 1879 to 1899 Great Britain's domes-
Tic exports increased from Sl0S7. 497.O0 10
81 PSF. 81 .OOO OF 10 per cent, while. includ-
ing colonial and foreign" exports. the in
crease from 1879 to 1899 was from - $40 O.
46J 600 10 S1.64O. 3SS. ga. an increase Of 20
per cent. The exports Of domestic prod
Ucts from the United States increased from
S497 ,263, 49, in 1879 to 125S. 900. 600 in
1889 OF 152 per cent. Including foreign
articles, the exports from the United
States in 1875 amounted to $50 947. 422
and in 1899 TO 81 ,275, 4S6, Sal. an increase Of
$50 per cent.
The value Of the imports Of United states
wheat and wheat flour into Great Britain
was much less in 1889 than 1898. but for
the former this appears to be partly due
10 the increased imports from the Argen-
tine Republic. Russia, and British East In
dia. There was an increased amount OF
flour imported into Great Britain from the
United States, but il was valued at a much
lower figure than in 1898. The number of
pounds imported was l.S40.579 600, against
/ .744. SIS. 900 in 1895 The total number OF
pounds imported from all countries was
1924 $40 600, against 2.1O1 71O. 900 in 1898.
which shows that Great Britain is depend
ent on the United States for the greater
part Of its supply.

A hot factionaI fight is likely to follow
the proposition TO abolish the ONCE OF
Register Of Wills, as suggested by the new
code Of laws for the District recommended
to Congress by the Washington Bar Asso-
citation at its meeting on Saturday The
advisabiHty of sbolishing the Office
was discussed some time ago and it
is said to be the opinion of a majority
OF the members OF the local bar that the
work should be placed under the super
vision OF the Clerk Of the Supreme Court
Of the District. The principal reasons ad-
yanced in favor OF this change are that it
will materially expedite matters OF appeal
from the Orphans Court to the higher
tribunals OF the District.
This is so, il is stated. because the pow
crs Of the Register at present leave him
without right TO afiX the seal OF the Su-
preme Court OF the District which is nee
essary in all matters Of appeal from the
lower courts TO thar Of the Court or Ap-
peals.
This however is denied by the Register
who contends that he has the power to
afiix the seal Of the lower court TO all pa
pers in the matter Of appeals 10 the Court
Of Appeals for the District Aside from
the convenience which will be gained 10y
having the work performed I'm the Office
of the Register Of Wills under the super
vision Of the Clerk OF the Supreme Court
Of the District, il Is claimed that there will
be a great saving in expense both to the
Government and 10 litigants. not alone in
the matter Of appeals but also in the
transaction Of the ordinary business Of the
Orphans Court
On the other hand. 60 is contended by
those who are opposed 10 the adjustment
Of the Office that every county in every
State in the Union and an large cities
have their registers Of wills. il Is fur
Their argued that the expense Of conduct
ing the business OF the Office will not be
Iesscned nor will the process OF Iiuga-
tiou be fastened by the change proposed.
In this connection it. is claimed that Jus
tice Cox who compiled the code OF laws
for the government Of ,hc District did
not anticipate the adjustment Of the DO
sitiOn OF Register Of Wills. but intended
that the incumbent Of the office should
act as clerk To the justice who would pre-
side over a probate and divorce court
for which the new code provides.
Whatever the merits OF these cOnten-
ti0us may be- it is stated that q strong
fight viii be made 10 have the adoption OF
the proposed new code defeated in Con-
gTess unless the section abOlishinE the
Office Of the Register of Wills Is stricken
out. and that providing Tor the cstIb-
lishTcnt OF q probate and divorce court
inserted in It's stead. The suggestion to
reduce the number o. justices Of the peace
for the District from fourteen 90 six is
also calculated TO create opposition. and
II is limited that those opposed 90 these
measures VIII combine forces 20 hold up
code.

Commissioners say that the Improvement
contemplated by him is less deserving than
others i'm the District
They state that the cost OF paving the

Department is 1000. or about $500 for
each block. The Commissioners also ex-
plain that the paving Of Fourth Street be-

considered when the estimates were made
up and abandoned because OF the pressure
for improvements elsewhere, which, IN
their opinion. were more urgently needed
The Commissioners state finally that

New York, Nov. 14-It is said that the

THE postottice authorities We're ac-
qua;nted with Henry Zeimer two years
ago when he was chief witness in the
proceedings against the Fairfield Floral
company, of Fairfield. Maine, one Of the
largest mail order swindles ever run
down by the inspectors. The company's
ostensible business was the manufac-
ture and sale of artificial flowers, and he
was the manager of the concern durin.s
its brief career. He purported then to
be Il lawyer and showed that he had \
least smattering OF law. He escaped
indictment. The concern was taking in
money at the rate of Sl00 eco year. The
scheme was in the first place to adver-
tise for persons to send two stamps and
learn how to make from $l2 to SIS week
by pleasant. easy work at their homes.
The plan was to make artificial flowers
and the applicant was Informed that a
course of instruction by mail necessary.
This was worth S25. it WAS said, but was
sent to applicants for 81 cents. The next
step was to recommend that the aRpli-

business had grown to such magnitude
that mail lots could not be handled, and
the applicant was asked to buy ma terials
for fifty dozen lots which would cost
Sl10.50. This staggered most of the ap-
plcants and caused them to drop out of
the matter as it was intended that they
should, but still few did send the large
