PLENTY OF TONNAGE
But Scarcity of Coal Is Trouble Just
at Present.

Washington, Dec. 21.-The House
committee on merchant marine and
fisheries. Friday. considered the Mccall
resolution to suspend the operations Of
the coastWise navigation laws so rs to
permit foreign ships 10 carry coal from
on, port to another on the coast. A
Large number Of kilograms, letters and
statements We're read indicating that at
this tilra there apparently is not only n
suttcicncy but large surplus or tonnage
available for the transportation of coal
ana that it is Il scarcity of coal, not
ships which is causing the trouble.
II WAS stated before the committee
that IN unreasonable and eXtortionate
rate Of freight is being charged for the
transportation of coal from the ship
ping ports TO the market ports and that
in Boston whence comes the greatest
number of these complaints, the lack
nf facilities to unload coal as rapidly
rs It comes to the market is the great
est obstacle to the distribution of that
commodity.
The statement was made that there
was ut one time within u week l.
Schooners laden with coal waiting To
be- discharged and that the inadequacy
81 the docks was one of the chief
troubles at Boston.
The committee postponed further
consideration of the resolution until the
meeting in the first week of the session
following the holiday recess. If the
resolution should be finally passed, it is
stated ii would be in the interest Of Il
reduction of freight rather than be-
cause of any scarcity of tonnage.

NOBODY is EXEMPT.
A New Preparation Which Everyone
Will Need Sooner or Later.

Almost everybody's digestion is dis
ordered more or less, and the common
est thing they do for it is to take some
one of the many so called blood puri-
fiers. which in many cases are merely
strong cathartics. Such things are not
needed. II the organs are in clogged
condition, they need only little help
and they will right themselves. Ca
thartics irritate the sensitive Innings of
the stomach and bowels and often do
more harm than good.
Purgng is not what is needed. The
thing to do is to put the food in con-
dition to be readily digested and as
simulated. Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
do this perfectly. They partly digest
what is eaten and give the stomach
just the help it needs. They stimulate
the secretion and excretion of the di-
gestive fluids and relieve the congested
condition of the glands and menu
branes. They put the whole digestive
system in condition to do its work.
When that is done you need take no
more tablets. unless you eat what does
not agree with you. Then take one or
two tahlets-give them needed help
and you will have no trouble.
It's a common sense medicine and
common sense treatment and ii will
cure every time. Not only cure the
disease but cure the cause. Goes about
il in perfectly sensible and scientific
way.
We have testimonials enough to fill a
book. but we don't publish many of
them. However-Mrs. f. NJ Faith, of
-Byrd's Greek. Wis. says:
Il have taken all the Tablets I got
of you and they have done their work
well in my case. for I feel like Diff
ferent person altogether. I don't
doubt If I had not got them I should
have been at rest by this time"
III. f. Willard. Onslow. Ia. says:
Mr.. White of Canton. was telling me
of your Dyspepsia Tablets curing him
of Dyspepsia from which he suffered
for eight years. As / am a sufferer
myself / wish you to send me a pack
age by return mail"
Phil Brooks. Detroit. Mich. says:
Your Dyspepsia cure has worked
wonders in my case. / suffered for
years from dyspepsia but am now en-
tirely cured and enjoy life as I never
have before. l gladly recommend
them.
1t will cost soc. to find out just how
much Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
help you Try them that's the best
