The burden of Lord Beresford's re-
marks is that the Mediterranean feet
is weak in ships. in arms and in ammu-

old, obsolete and slow. Many of them
are constructed largely OF wood The
war stocks at Gibraltar and Malta are
not adequate. and the ships are ammu-
nitoned with black powder and obso-
lete shells. Lord Beresford says that
more ships, especially new and fast
cruisers, are needed in the Mediterra-
mean. The new vessels supposedly pos
sessed by England are either on paper
or on the stocks. Using battleshps as
cruisers is one of the eXpedientS to
which the fleet has recently been re-
duced. Lord Beresford, according to
report. is about to resign his command,
for he wishes absolute freedom in criti-
cising the admiralty.
1t has long been the policy of Great

CARRIED TOO FAR,
The Fear Of Being Deceived or Humbug-
ged Prevents many People From Try
ing 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 rad
ical permanent cure for dyspepsia and
Indigestion. Many such people pride
themselves on their acuteness in never
being humbugged, especially in med
icines.
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 claims made for remedy so re-
liable and universally used as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
spect from ordinary patent medicines
for the reason that they are not sec

of the ingredients, but analysis shows
them to contain the natural digestive

They are not cathartic neither do they
act powerfully on any particular or

food eaten, thoroughly before 1t has

their success
Cathartic pills never have and never
