ARSENAL EMPLOYEES
TO HAVE VACATIONS.

Information has been received in
Davenport from Congressman Joe B.
Lane at Washington, which contains
welcome news TO the hundreds of
employees of Rock Island arsenal. re-
siding in the three cities.
1t is to the effect that bill has
passed both the senate and the house
of representatives providing for a Is
days. vacation each year. without
forfeiture of pay. to all the employees
of the government arsenals, which of
course, includes those of Rock Is
land arsenal.
Congressman Lane has also written
letter in reference to the measure
as follows:
Il enclose you bill which will be
of considerable interest to the en-
ployes of Rock Island arsenal. This
bill has been passed by both the house
and senate with an amendment in
serting 'arsenals,' so that the EN-
ployes of arsenals will have the leave
of absence the same as other employees
of navy yards, etc. The commit
tees in both the house and senate
were opposed to including arsenals,
but fight was made on the PROPOSE
ton. and finally both houses passed it
so that it would include arsenals, and
no doubt the president will sign it.
81 think this is measure that is
due to the employees at the arsenals of
the country, and one they will no
doubt greatly appreciate"
The bill is as follows, the words
land arsenals' being inserted, as or
dered by the amendment:
A bill providing for leaves of alb
sence to certain employees of the gov
eminent.
BE it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the United

bled. That each and every employe

granted Is working days leave of alb
sence each year without forfeiture OF
pay during such leave: Provided.
that it shall be lawful to allow pro
rata leave only to those serving IL
consecutive months or more; And
provided, further, that in all cases the
heads of divisions shall have discre-
tion as to the time when the leave can
best be allowed without detriment to
the service. and that absence on &C.

THE ROOT OF THE MATTER.

Troubles Down to First Principles.
A man of large affairs in one of our
prominent eastern cities by too close
attention to business, too little exer-
else and too many club dinners, final
ly began to pay natures tax levied in
the form of chronic stomach troubl
the failure of his digestion brought
about nervous irritability. making
it impossible to apply himself to his
daily business and finally deranging
the kidneys and heart.
In his own words he says: al con-
suited one physician after another
and each one seemed to understand
my case, but all the same they each
failed to bring about the return of my
former digestion, appetite and vigor.
For two years l went from pillar to
post. from one sanitarium to another,
1 gave up smoking. quit coffee and
even renowned my daily glass or two
of beer, but without any marked i'm
provement.
Friends had often advised me to
try well known proprietary medi-
cine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and
l had often perused the newspaper
advertisements of the remedy, but
| never took any stock in advertised
| medicines, nor could believe 50-cent
patent medicine would touch my case.
ITO make long story short l fin
| ally bought a couple of packages at
the nearest drug store and took two
| or three tablets after each meal and
occasionally tablet between meals,
when felt any feeling of nausea or
| discomfort.
81 was surprised at the end of the
| first week to note marked improve
ment in my appetite and general
health and before the two packages
were gone was certain that Stuart g
Dyspepsia Tablets was going to cure
completely, and they did not disap-
point me. can eat and sleep and
enjoy my coffee and cigar and no one
would suppose had ever known the
horrors of dy dyspepsia.
''Out of friendly curiosity l wrote
to the proprietors of the remedy ask
ing for information as to what the
tablets contained and they replied
that the principal ingredients were
asceptic pepsin government tes).
malt diastase and other natural di-
gestives, which digest food regardless
of the condition of the stomach"
The root of the matter is this, the
digestive elements contained in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
the food give the overworked stom-
ach a chance to recuperate and the
nerves and whole system receive the
nourishment which can only come
from food; stimulants and nerve ton
les never give real strength, they give
fictitious strength invariably fol-
lowed by reaction. Every drop of
blood, every nerve and tissue is man
ufactured from our daily food, and if
you can insure its prompt action and
complete digestion by the regular use
of so good and wholesome a remedy
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, you will
have no need of nerve tonics and SAN
itariums.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets have been in the market only a
few years, yet probably every drug
gist in the United States, Canada and
Great Britain now sells them and con-
slider them the most popular and sue
cessful of any preparation for stomach
