solve the problem of how to meet the

would open up the question of saloons or
no saloons in Kansas for legitimate dis
cussion outside of hatehets and stove

Wichita business men think the time
has been made ripe by the action of Mrs.

But it is not generality known that
the Tablets are just as good and whole
some for little folks as for their eld-
ers.
Little children who are pale, thin and

from them.

"Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets just fill the
bill for children as we'll as for older
folks. I've had the best Of luck with
them. My threee-year-old girl takes
them as readily as candy. I have only
to say tablets and she drops every
thing else and runs for them"

child to the hospital. but there found
no relief. A friend mentioned the
Stuart Tablets and I procured box
from my druggist and used only the
large sweet lozenges in the box and was
delighted to find they were just the

of the Confederate army almost penni-

or one leg with which to commence a
new struggle for support. They were
largely Christian men whose faith in
Gods goodness made them both help
full and hopeful, and soon their neglect

show of progress and Improvement,
and to-day there is not a better farm

It developed in the Southern people, so
long dependent upon slave labor, an
energy and thrift that has been the
wonder Of the world. In precious lives
and valuable property the war was
most costly affair, but out of 1t has
come not only a prosperity and devel-

nation, reunited and harmonious, that
in Gods wise providence has become
the great promoter Of freedom from all
kinds of oppression, and the defender
Of governments by the people and OF
