Cheyenne wyo.. April 6 CSpeciaD.-About month

water near Evanston, in the extreme southwestern
part of the State. struck strong flow Of oil. The
discovery caused some excitement and thousands

the oil were sent TO New-York for analysis. and

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also Few Facts on the Same subie,

Also Few Facts on the Same Subject
We hear much nowadays about
health foods and hygienic living,
about vegetarianism and many other
fads along the same line.
Restaurants may be found in the
large cities where no meat, pastry or
coffee is served and the food crank is
in his glory, and arguments and the
cries galore advanced to prove that
meat was never intended for human
s.omachs, and almost make US be-
lieve that our sturdy ancestors who
lived four score years in robust health
on roast beef, pork and mutton must
have been grossly ignorant of the
laws of health.
Our forefathers had other things to
do than formulate theories about the
food they ate A warm welcome was
extended to any kind from bacon to
acorns.
A healthy appetite and common
sense are excellent guides to follow in
matters of diet. and mixed diet of
grains, fruits and meats is undou bt-
edly the best.
AS compared with grains and vege-
tables, meat furnishes the most nutri-
ment in highly concentrated form
and is digested and assimilated more
quickly than vegetables and grains.
DR.. Julius Remmson on this sub
iect SAYS: Nervous persons, people
run down in health and of low vital
ity should eat meat and plenty of it.
II the digestion is too feeble at first
it may be easily corrected by the regu-
lar use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after each meal. Two of these excel
lent tablets taken after dinner will
digest several thousand grains of
meat, eggs or other animal food in
three hours, and no matter how weak
the stomach may be, no trouble will
be experienced if regular practice is
made of using Stuart's Dyspepsia
TIblets, because they supply the pep
sin and diastase necessary to perfect
digestion, and every form of indiges-
ton will be overcome by their use.
That large class of people who come
u lder the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and insure
its proper digestion by the daily use
of a safe, harmless digestive medicine
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, COM
posed of the natural digestive princi-
Piles, pepsin. diastase, fruit acids and
salts. which actually perform the
work of digestion. Cheap cathartic
medicines, masquerading under the
name of dyspepsia cures, are useless
for indigestion, as they have no effect
upon the actual digestion of food.
Dyspepsia in all its many forms is
simply failure of the stomach to di-
gest food, and the sensible way to
solve the riddle and cure the dyspep-
STA is to make daily use at meal of a
preparation like Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, which is Endorsed by the
medical profession and known to con-
tain active digestive principles.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets a. so cents for full treat
ment.

he HAS A NEW SCHEME
by Which He Proposes to Go Over Mag
ara Falls Unframed.

Jackson, Mich, March lie. Bar
tholomew. of this city, has novel
scheme which he has offered as an at
traction for the Pan-American EXPOSE
tion at Buffalo. Some years ago Bar
tholomcw invented an apparatus with
which he proposed to go over Niagara
Falls. The apparatus consists of two
large spheres made of sheet steel and
lined with cork. Inside each sphere
is a silk bag to contain gas, and the
spheres are connected by Il steel rod
to which the seat to be occupied by the
operator and sandbags for ballast are
attached.
Things are so arranged that in case
of danger one or all of the ballast bags
can be released, and in case all are re-
leased the apparatus will start up into
the air and Goat away like balloon.
The machine is to be constructed ON n
large float and lowed as near the falls
as possible. when ii viii be rolled or
into the water and float down and over
the falls. 1t is expected that the buoy
ancy of the gas bags will keep the APP
paratus on the surface, even while go
inc over the OrpCiDiCP.
