BELIEVES Irs ALL RIGHT.
President Ripley Says There Are
Plenty of Cattle in Kansas.

E. P. Ripley, president of the Santa
Fee in giving his views on the present
railroad situation said:
Rather too much seems to have been
made of the increased movement of cat
tie to market as a result of the corn
shortage. Our receipts from cattle traf-
fic up to the end of November were only
$4,000 in excess of receipts from this
source a year ago, so that the extra
number moved out has not been very
large. There are still plenty of cattle
in our territory, and there is abundance
of fodder, the corn deficiency being
made up by alfalfa, millet and other
kinds of feed There will be no corn
for shipment, but farmers have enough
to supply their needs.
1.-THE rate situation is not satisfactory
though perhaps no worse than it has
been most of the time for the last 25
years. For some time after the preSi-
dents agreement was promulgated
rates were well maintained, but this
did not last very long. Spasmodic eff
forts have been made from time to time
for years past to stiffen rates with more
or less success but the improved condi-
tions seldom endure.
1.-THE irrigation colonies being estao-
lished on Colorado river by the Chaffee
people are not in our territory. but we
works in progress elsewhere and the
outlook is for irrigation work on a pref
ty large scale as a result of the interest
now being taken in this question. Fruit
shipments from California are just be-
ginning and promise to produce tom
mage about equal to that of a year

A visitor to this city who carried a

avenue car last Friday, when he nudged
the conductor and asked
Where will this sewer empty that
they're digging through this town."
The conductor rang up a couple of
fares and answered
That's no sewer. That's the under

You don't be telling mel" exclaimed
J. B. s. But why are they digging it
SO near the sidewalks?"
The car had now reached Sixteenth
street near Fourth avenue, where the
excavation is partly under the side

That's so the saloonkeepers can put
their late customers aboard from the
cellar and send them home.'
The Topeka man gazed down into the

his face suddenly frightened, he said:

THE FEAR OF HUMBUG
Prevents rlany People From Trying
a 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 remedy claiming to be a radical
permanent cure for dyspepsia and indi-
gestion. Many such pride themselves
on their acuteness in never being hum
plugged, 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
digestion rather than risk little time
and money in faithfully testing the
BILE and universally used as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets
Now Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one in portant re-
spect from ordinary proprietary medi-
cines for the reason that they are not a
secret patent medicine, no secret is
made of their ingredients, although
they are sold by all druggists under
protection of trademark, but analysis
shows them to contain the natural di-
gestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin,
the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bis
muth, hydrastis and nux. They are
not cathartic, neither do they act pow
erfully on any organ, but they cure in
digestion on the common sense plan of
digesting the food eaten thoroughly be-
fore it has time to ferment, sour and
cause the mischief. This is the only
secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach trOu-
bles because they act entirely on the
bowels, whereas the whole trouble is
really in the stomach.
Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets taken af-
ter meals digest the food That is all
there is to it. Food not digested or half
digested is poison, as it creates gas,
acidity, headaches, palpltation of the
heart loss of flesh and many other
troubles which are often called by some
other name.
