BRAIN FOOD

Is of Little Benefit Unless 1t Is Digested.
Nearly everyone will admit that as
q nation we eat too much meat and
too little of vegetables and the grains.
For business men, Office men and
clerks, and in fact everyone engaged
in sedentary or indoor occupations,
grains, milk and vegetables are much
more healthful.
Only men engaged in severe out
door manual labor can live on heavy
meat diet and continue in health.
As general rule meat once day
is sufficient for all classes of men,
women and children. and grains, fruit
bulk of food eaten.
But many of the most nutritious
foods are difficult of digestion and it
is of no use to advice brain workers
to eat largely of grains and vegeta-
bles where the digestion is too weak
to assimilate them properly.
1t is always best to get the best re-
suits from our food that some simple
and harmless digestive should be
taken after meals to assist the relaxed
digestive organs, and several years
experience have proven Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets to be a very safe,
pleasant and effective digestive and a
remedy which may be taken daily
with the best results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can
hardly be called a patent medicine, as
they do not act on the bowels nor any
particular organ but only on the food
eaten. They supply what weak
stomachs lack, pepsin diastase, and by
stimulating the gastric glands increase
the natural secretion of hydrochloric
acid.
People who make a daily practice
of taking one or two of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets after each meal are
sure to have perfect digestion, which
means perfect health.
There is no danger of forming an
injurious habit as the tablet contains
nothing but natural digestives; CO.
caine, morphine and similar drugs
have no place in a stomach medicine
and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
certainly the best known and most
popular of all stomach remedies.
Ask your druggist for q 5O-cent
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and after a weeks use note the i'm
provement in health, appetite and
nervous energy.

A FULSOME POLITICAL PUFF AND
WHAT rs REFLECTED FROM IT

The Union of Sunday morning in
dulges in fulsome praise of John K.
Scott in a strained effort to show why
he should be returned to the office of
city attorney. The Union, however,
deals only in generalities, and there
fore the public is unable to learn just
what Mr.. Scott has accomplished as
city attorney and wherein he has
failed. A few important cases might
be offered as sample of the gentle
mans ability as legal defender OF the
city of Rock Island.
The only case at all dangerous to
the city tried during Mr.. Scott's term
was that of Mrs. Belle Starkey, who
sued for $4,000 damages. The city
finally won in the supreme court, but
Mr.. SCOTS connection with the case
in the upper courts was only nominal.
Messrs. C. B. Marshall and G. j.
Searle did all the work. Mr.. Scott
did none of it.
In the suit of Mrs. Honora Blake,
who asked $4,000 damages, there
really never was any liability against
the city. and yet she secured a verdict
for 81, 500. After new trial had
been secured Mr.. Scott wanted to
settle, and was forced by the council
to try the case again.
In the case of Bradford against the
city the injuries complained of were
only slight, yet Judgment was recov-
cred for 800. A similar suit was
that of Nash against the city. In this
5000 was recovered. In the case of
Rounds vs.. the city Judgment for $500
was secured against the city. In this
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1901-04-01

case the obstruction that caused the
injury was placed in the street by a
contractor, who was the party that
should have been held liable, yet
through the line of defense put up by
Mr.. Scott he was set free and the city
held alone.
If the Union is really DESTROYS of
placing Mr.. Scott's true record before
the people it should take the county
court record aud show that every
local improvement begun in behalf of
the city which was contested during
Mr.. Scott's term has been defeated.
And then it should figure what these
proceedings have cost the city in
shifting assessments from individual
properly holders to the city. As to
the general ordinances drawn by Mr..
Scott the one that attracted the great
est attention was the tandem ordi-
nance. Three arrests were made un-
der this ordinance, but all of the
defendants were discharged.
r. r. Reynolds, the democratic
candidate for the Office of city attoI-
ney, has made q distinguished record
during his residence in Rock Island,
and is regarded as one of the most
able and successful members OF the
Rock Island county bar. He is Justly
popular as citizen generally and
from the beginning of his residence
here has taken a lively interest in
Rock Island and Rock Island institu-
tions. He is a member of c. w.

Bits About Baseball.

Manager William Corners has made
up complete list of men signed by
him for the Bloomington baseball
team for the season of 1901. From a
glance at the names it will be seen
that Bloomington will start out the
season with a team of strong. fast
players, and the other teams in the
league will have to hustle or they will
be left in the rear early in the season.
The men signed by Manager Corners
are as follows: Frank Belt, catcher;
Charles Elsey, first base; George
Reese, second; F. King and r A.
Killing, short stop; Dick Brown, third;
