We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic living. about vege-
tarianism 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 theories galore
advanced to prove that meat was never
intended for human stomachs,. and al
most make us believe 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 ex-
tended to any kind from bacon TO
acorns.
A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides to follow in mat
tiers of diet, and a mixed diet Of grains
fruits and meats is undoubtedly the

proper digestion by the daily use of a
safe, harmless digestive medicine like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets composed OF
the natural digestive principles, pepsin,
diastase, fruit acids and salts which
actually perform the work of digestion.
Cheap cathartic medicines masquerad-
ing under the name of dyspepsia cures
are useless for indigestion as they have
absolutely no effect upon the actual di-
gestion of food.
Dyspepsia in all it's many forms is
simply a failure of the stomach to di-
gest food and the sensible way to solve
the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to
make daily use at meal time of a pre-
paration like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
elts, which is endorsed by the medical
profession and known to contain active
digestive principles.

Tablets at soc for full treatment

bles, meat furnishes the most nutriment
in highly concentrated form and is d.
gested and assimilated more quickly
than vegetables and grains
DR.. Julius Remmson on this subject
says: Nervous persons. people run
down in health and of low vitality
should eat meat and plenty of it. If
the digestion is too feeble at first it may
be easily corrected by the regular use
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal Two of these excellent
tablets taken after dinner viii 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 a
regular pratice is made of using Stuart's
DYSPEPSIA Tablets because they supply
the pesin and diastase necessary to per-
feet the digestion, and every form of
Indigestion win be overcome by their
use.
That large class of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and insure its

TO TRY POLITICS.
Labor Unions to Follow Example Set
in Montana.

Denver. Colo. May 29.-An agitation
has been begun among delegates to the
annual convention of the Western
Federation = Miners, now in session
here. with a view to defeating Edward
Boyce for selection as president of the
federation. Mr.. Boyce has occupied the
position since 1896, although he has re-
peatedly requested the organization to
select some one in his place. It is said
the opposition to him is based on the
way he handled the Occur d'Alene
strike and his frank criticism of the
N ethods Of the strikers and of the
unions affiliated with the federation.
A resolution has been introduced at
the convention of the Western Labor
union providing that the union shall
enter actively into politics. The reso-
luton cites the success of the labor
party movement in Montana, and pro-
poses the organization of a labor party
in each of the western states. There is
also talk among the delegates of ex-
tending the union throughout the coun-
try.

METAL TRADESMEN MEET.
Administrative Council to Abrogate
New York Agreement

Chicago May. 29.-The administrative
council Of the National Metal Trades
association at a meeting in the Great
Northern hotel adopted a resolution
abrogating the New York agreement
with the international Association Of
Machinists-
The council decided that it would have
no national arbitration of the wage
question. A committee will be appoint
ed to confer with the local officers of the
Machinists' union to arbitrate wages in
Chicago, provided President O'ConneH
appoints a committee from the union for
that purpose. A telegram was sent to
O'Connell asking him to appoint COM
mittee.
The strictest secrecy was maintained
by the manufacturers as to the nature
of the business transacted and to all in
quiries as to the future policy of the
association only one reply was made
that there was nothing to be made pub
lie. One of the members of the adj
ministrative council who is not in SYM
pathy with the policy of secrecy, when
seen after the adjournment of the meet
ing gave the details of the two sessions
held, and of the adoption of the resolu-
tions multiplying the New YorkNagree-
ment.
When the resolution abrogating the
New York agreement was presented it
was thoroughly discussed, and all agreed
that it had been totally disregarded by
the president of the Machinists' union
when he ordered a strike and that it
was useless to adhere to it.
The resolution was laid on the table
at the adjournment of the first session,
but was taken up when the council met
again and adopted unanimously.
A committee was appointed to- draft
a letter to all the manufacturers outside
of the National Metal Trades associa-
ton apprising them of the situation, and
asking their cooperation. Committees
laws were appointed, and a motion was
adopted that a committee be named to

and custom costume. No doubt if a
man were to 60 forth without clothing
he would soon encounter constraint
of general disapprobation as he would
if he went forth with a pail of dirt and
cast it upon every one he met; but it is
not that consciousness in the first place
which hinders either. No doubt like
wise there is a sway Of fashion in the
matter, as apart from extremes and
fantasies, there should be, taking care of
the whole visible man from the skin
outwards better than he could by his
individual decision of each point, and
leaving him the freer to his own proper
life. He then takes his meal /; which
in many of it's particulars also follows
custom, but not in it's main causation.
He goes to his occupation; this too is
appointed for him, by compromise be-
tween his own election. and the whole
complex of the world around him; in
which opinion has very little positive
share, though it sometimes acts as
preventive. He cultivates his various
side-interests, home-interests, aims Of
inward aspiration which of them is de-
termined by the collective opinion of
his neighbors? Where does such an
opinion come in, among the factors of
his life? Where, in fact, does it exist?
The public consists entirely of individ-
uals; it is difficult to add their opinions.
Personal opinion and it's influence, is
quite another matter one traveller may
powerfully lead another: the crowd can
only jostle him. In the lighter things
of life, society of the idler kind and the
like, of course there is more reference to
such a conception of general opinion;
as we get to the more serious things,
less and less.

We find that there are truly certain
spheres Of aggregate impression, more
