There's many successful business
man who sitr IN his city Office and lets
his mind slip back to his boyhood days
on the farm. How good it felt to live
What an appetite he had How good
everything tasted How sound his sleep
was How eagerly he rose with the sun
and raced with him through the long
day. And now he's a successful man.
But he can't sleep. He doesn't enjoy
his food. His stomach is weak, his
nerves are shaken, and he no more rises
with the sun TO race eagerly against him.
His vitality IS low and now and again
his heart seems to plunge in his breast
as if it would break loose. That's the
price he has paid for success.
The mischief of the whole business ia
that he buys Vtablets" of one sort or
another TO aid +" his digestion, and in
dulges in bromides and other nerve
stiinulants, just to hold himself together,
and wonders why he seems to be getting
worse
The whole trouble with such a man
generally lies III what is called Uweak -
stomach. Tie food he eats does not
nourish him because it is only partially
digested and assi1nilated No man can
be stronger than his stomach, because it
Is ln the stomach and allied organs of
digestion aud nutrition that strength is
made from tfJr feed which is eaten.

cry cures diseases of the stomach and

the only way strength can be restored,
by food which is perfectly digested and
assimilated, when the diseased stomach
with its allied organs) is cured of dis
ease. It is a blood-making, body-build-
ing medicine, inasmuch as blood is made
from food and the body is built up by
blood. Il is not a stimulant containing
neither alcohol or any other narcotic.

AN UNAvAlLING PRTOEST.
Secretary Gage Tells Manufacturers
That the Law CompeIs Him to Inn
pose CounterVaiIIng Duties.

Washington, March THE delegs-
tion of the Illinois Manufacturers as
sociation which called on Secretary
Gage yesterday to protest against
his action in declaring a counteryail-
ing duty against Russian beet sugar,
received the reply of the secretary.
The protest was presented by Martin
b. Madden, who said his association
represented a constituency of 100000
employers and workers in Illinois,
whose combined production amount
ed to So, 100000 annually. He said
that not only these people but all the
manufacturers and wage earners of
the United States would be injured if
retaliatory measures are to be en-
forced against our manufactured pro-
duets because of the recent decision
of the treasury on countervailing
Russian duties.
Secretary Gage explained at some
length that it was useless for any as
sociation of manufacturers or any
one else to demand of the treasury
department the repeal of the coun-
tervailing duty order. The duty in
question, he said, was imposed in ODE
dience to the law of congress and was
a matter over which the treasury de-
partment had no control except to
carry out the law
