WHAT GOES UP
Must Come Down.

Nothing is so sure certain than that
the use of so called tonics, stimulants and
medicines, which depend upon alcohol for
their effect is injurious to health in the
long run.
What goes up must come down and the
elevation of spirits, the temporary cx-
hilaration resulting from dose of medi-
cine containing alcohol, will certainly be
followed in few hours by corresponding
depression to relieve which another dose
must be taken.
In other words, many liquid patent
medicines derive their effect entirely from
the alcohol they contain.
Alcohol, and medicines containing it,
are temporary stimulants and not in any
sense true tonic. In fact it is doubt
full if any medicine or drug is real
tonic.
A true tonic is something which will
renew, replenish, build up the exhausted
nervous system and wasted tissues of
the body, something that will enrich the
blood and endow it with the proper pro-
portions of red and white corpuscles,
which prevent or destroy disease germs.
This is what real tonic should do and
no drug or alcoholic stimulant will do it.
The only true tonic in nature is whole
some food, thoroughly digested. Every
particle of nervous energy, every min
ute muscle, fibre and drop of blood is
created daily from the food we digest.
The mere eating of food has little
to do with the repair of waste tissue
but the perfect digestion of the food
eaten has everything to do with it.
The reason so few people have per-
feet digestion is because from wrong hab-
it's of living the stomach has gradually
lost the power to secrete the gastric
juice, peptones and acids in sufficient
quantity.
To cure Indigestion and stomach trou-
bles it is necessary to take after meals
some harmless preparation which will
supply the natural peptone and diastase
which every weak stomach lacks, and
probably the best preparation of this
character is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
which may be found in every drug store
and which contain in pleasant palatable
form the Wholesome peptone and diastaSe
which nature requires for prompt digea-
ton.
One or two of these excellent tablets
taken after meals will prevent souring,
fermentation and acidity and insure COM
plete digestion and assimilation.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are equally
valuable for little children as for adults,
as they contain nothing harmful or stimu-
lating but only the natural digestives.
One of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
digest 1890 grains of meat, eggs or other
wholesome food, and they are in every
sense a genuine tonic because they bring
about in the only natural way restora-
tive or nerve power, building up OF
lost tissue and appetite, in the only
way it can be done by the digestion and
assimilation of wholesome food.

FIRE HORSE Baked.
Wagon Got Out Of Engine House Ten Minutes
After Alarm.

There were two alarms CT fire yester-
day. one from box 16 in the morning,
and the other from box 81 last night.
Neither amounted to anything. The one
last night proved to be a fence near the
Hillsboro street bridge.
The Rescue Company had trouble in
getting away from the engine house, and
it was fully ten minutes after the first
alarm sounded before the driver was
able to get the team out of the house.
A baking horse that never had been
worked before refused to move, despite
the lashes that were applied to his back.
Finally in desperation the fremen got
out and pushed the wagon on him and
he decided to go.

disposition of the new canal treaty with
Great Britain The committee also is
