hops was that of a young lad who
picked 45S pounds in one day, earning

on cornhusking as little as when they
trade horses.

AS a general rule, meat once day
Is sufficient for all classes of men, wo-
men and children, and grains, fruit
and vegetables should constitute the
bulk of food eaten.
But many of the most nutritious
foods are difficult of digestion, and it
is of no use to advise brain workers
to eat largely of grains and vegetables
where the digestion is too weak to as
simulate them properly.
1t is always best to get the best re-
suits from our food that some simple
land harmless digestive should be ia
ken after meals to assist the relaxed
digestive organs, and several years
experience have proven Stuart's Dys-
ipepsia Tablets to be very safe, pleas
amt and effective digestive and a rene
dy which may be taken daily with
with the best results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hard
lily be called a patent medicine, as they
do not act on the bowels nor on any
particular organ but only on the food
eaten. They supply what weak stom-
achs lack, pepsin diastase, and by
stimulating the gastric glands increase
1.-The natural secretion of hydrohloric
|acid.
People who make daily practice of
taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspep-
sia tablets after each meal are sure to
have perfect digestion which means
perfect health.
There is no danger of forming an in
curious habit, as the tablets contain
absolutely nothing but natural diges-
tiyes; cocaine, morphine and similar
drugs have no place in stomach
medicine, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's are certainly the best known and
most popular of all stomach remedies.
Ask your druggist for fifty cent

let's. and after weeks use note the

FAMINE
In Potato Market May
Come.
Local Farmers Are Supplying the
Local Market.

If the present weather lasts much
longer it will take expert fnanciering
for man of moderate salary to supply
his family with the necessaries of life.
The price of potatoes, like eggs, is tax
ing a little upward soar into the clouds
and this staple article of food now
costs 81 per bushel
The cause for this state of affairs is
the extreme cold weather which makes
it very difficult to get potatoes into the
city without freezing. A number of
farmers living near the city, however,
have their cellars stored with potatoes
and they are practically supplying the
local market, and though prices are
high there is no danger Of potato
famine.
No potatoes are being shipped into
the city as the farmers of Summit
county are at present able to supply all
that are needed for home consumption.
Last year at this time potatoes were
selling for 30 cents bushel.
Apples are now bringing better prices
than some oranges, and are selling for
$1.20 bushel, Notwithstanding which
there is heavy demand for them.

On Amendments
to Constitution.
Propositions to Cut Off
Double Liability,
And to Provide For Biennial
State Elections.
Especial Correspondcnce.)

Especial Correspondence
Columbus, o., Feb. 21.-Thc Senate
at its session Wednesday afternoon,
adopted unanimously Mr.. Rogers SEN
ate joint resolution providing for the
submission to Il vote of the people
of an amendment to the constitution,
doing away with the double stock liza
bility which is now imposed upon Ohio
corporations.
The amendment is not to be voted
upon at the election in November OF
this year, but is deferred until the
election in 1903 There is such univer-
sal demand for the adoption OF such
an amendment to the constitution on
the part of commercial bodies, that
they will do doubt be out of patience
that action is so long delayed, but in
view of the fact that amendments to
the constitution so seldom carry, re-
Quiring as they do majority of all the
/
votes cast at an election, rather than
a majority upon the proposition, the
interim of 20 months will afford oppor-
tunity for the education of the people
upon this question and make its adop-
tion more certain when the amend
ment is voted upon.
Since the hepublican and Demo
cratic party leaders appear to agree
that this provision in the constitution
works a hardship upon corporations,
and drives Ohio people to take ad.
vantage of the more liberal provisions
of other States and incorporate under
the laws of those Staes it is believed
that with general expression from
the orators of the two Parties from the
rostrum in favor of the adoption OF
such an amendment that it will carry
and become part of the organic law
of the State.
1t is stated upon good authority, that
another, if not two more constitution
al amendments will be submitted to 9
vote of the people. At least at attemp
, will be made in that direction. One
will provide for biennial elections
and the second will provide means
for the General Assembly to more
equitably distribute the burdens ol
taxation, by SO changing the consti
tuition that tax laws may be enacted
which under the constitution as i
now stands, could not be enacted. I'ht
information upon which this story !.
based comes from one of the big party
leaders, who said that the two propo
stions We're now being given consd
alton by certain members of tn,
Legislature. He said he had no doub
that the proposition to do away will
annual elections would carry if sub
mitted to vote of the people, as tn
general comment is that there are to-
many elections in Ohio. He said tn
abolition of annual State election
would result in great saving.
