BELONG TO THE PUBLIC.
Warehousemen Cannot Put Their Own
Grain in Their Own Elevators

Chicago, Jan. 11.--Judge Tulley, sitting
in the circuit court, today delivered an
opinion declaring the unconstitutionaltty
OF the amended statute permitting pubic
grain warehOusemen to handle their own
grain in their own warehouses Inc case
was brought as a test Of the law a year
ago. by the board of trade against the
Central Grain Elevator company and
Darlington. Hannah & Co.
The court holds that the law IS class
legislation and that under Its provisions
the warehouseman has the general public
and grain producers at his mercy
The case will be appealed The supreme
court, however, has already given evil
dence that it comedies with the belief Of
Judge Tulley. A former law held 1t UNI
lawful for warehousemen to handle their
own grain in their own houses, The stat
ute was amended to allow them to do
what the original law forbade. Suit was
entered against one elevator concern for
violating the old law. In passing on this
case the supreme court ignored the
amended statute upon which Judge T'ulley
gave an opinion today It is confidently
held, therefore, that the higher court will
sustain Judge Tulley.
In rendering the decision Judge Tulley
declared that the elevator houses were
now of such Importance to the grain
trade that they should come under fed
eraI supervision.

WHAT SHALL WE EAT
10 sep Healthy and strong.

A hee4th ppetite and common sense
are ea guides to follow in mat
tiers OF and a mixed diet of grains
fruits and meats is undoubtedly the
best, in spite of the claims made by
vegetarians and food cranks generally.
AS compared with grains and veg
cables, meat furnishes the most nutri-
ment in a highly concentrated form, and
is digested and assimilated more quick
ly than vegetables or grains.
DR.. julius Remusson on this subject
says: Nervous persons, people run down
in health and of low vitality should eat
plenty of meat. If the digestion is too
feeble at first it may be easily strength
ened by the regular use Of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal. Two
OF these excellent tablets taken after
dinner will digest several thousand
grains of meat, eggs or other animal food
in three or four hours, while the malt
diastaSe also contained in Stuart'S Tab
let's cause the perfect digestion of
starchy foods like potatoes, bread, etc,
and no matter how weak the stomach
may be, no trouble will be experienced
if a regular practice is made Of using
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. because
they supply the pepsin and diastase so
necessary to perfect digestion, and any
form of indigestion and stomach trouble
except cancer of the stomach will be
overcome by their daily use.
That large class of people who come
under the head Of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and insure its
complete digestion by the systematic
use of a safe, harmless digestive medi-
cine like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
com posed of the natural digestive prin-
ciples, peptones and diastase which ac-
tually perform the work of digestion
and give the abused stomach a chance
to rest and to furnish the body and
brain with the necessary nutriment
Cheap cathartic medicines masquerade
ing under the name of dyspepsia cures
are useless for relief or cure of indigeS-
ton because thew have absolutely no
effect upon the actual digestion of food
Dyspepsia in all its forms is simply
a failure of the stomach to digest food
and the sensible way to solve the riddle
and cure the indigestion is to make
daily use at meal time of a. safe prepa-
ration which is endorsed by the med
ical profession and known to contain
active digestive principles, and all this
can truly be said Of Stuart's Dyspepsia.

All druggists throughout the United
States, Canada and Great Britain sell
