The onion is undoubtedly a wholesome article of food, in fact, has many medi- cinal qualities of value, but it would be difficult to find a more indigestible ar ticIe than fried onions. and to many people they are simply poison, but the onion does not stand alone in this re- spect Any article of food that Is not thoroughly digested becomes source of disease and discomfort whether 1t be friend onions or beef steak.
 The reason why any wholesome food Is not promptly dige sted is because the stomach lacks some important element of digestion, some stomachs lack peptone, others are deficient in gastric juice still others lack hydrochloric acid.
 The one thing necess ary to do in any case of poor d stion is to supply these clements of digestion which the stomach lacks, and nothing does this so thorough ly and safely as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab lets.
 Dr. Richardson in writing a thesis on treatment of dyspepsia and indigestion, closes his remarks by saying, flor those suffering from acid dyspepsia, shown by sour, watery risings, or for fiatulent dyspepsia shown by gas on stomach causing heart trouble and difficult breath ing, as well as for all other forms of stomach trouble, the safest treatment is to take one or two or otudrt $ DySpepsld Tablets after each meal. l advise them because they contain no harmful ugs, but are composed of valuable digestives, which act promptly upon the food eaten I never knew case of indigestion or even chronic dyspepsia which Stuart's s Tablets would not reach.
 Cheap cathartic medicines claiming to cure dyspepeia and ind gestion can have no effect whatever In actively digesting the food and to call any cathartic m di- cine a cure for indigestion is misnomer. Every druggist in the United States and Canada sells Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. and they are not only the safest and most l successful but the mos, scientific of any treatment for indig stion and stomach | troubles wed-fri-sun

Mir. J. NJ. Milhous is still receiving a great many congratulations on the fine cement rock deposit that has heen dis covered on his plantation in West Dal- las. He has been approached by local capitalists with a proposition to erect a cement factory on his place. and letters are pouring in on him from outside par ties interested in such matters. But Mr. Milhous, conscious of the fact that he has got good thing. is taking matters easy and he does not propose to jump at the first propositions offered him.

The Furnitre Arriving.

The new furniture for Dallas County's Temple of Justice, is arriving every day now, and a man has been sent on here from the factory to put 1t together. The new court house is now nearing comple- ton and 1t will not be long. possibly two
 or three weeks, before the officers of the County will commence to move in to their new apartments. The court room on the second story is a beauty and has been very much admired by all who have seen it., The finishing touches on the outside can be put on after ths officials have moved into the building. The con- tractors were-delayed a long time by cir cumstances over which they had no con- trol. but now that they have gotten down to their work in dead earnest they are completing the building very rapidly. It looked at one time as if the County would have to take charge and complete the structure.
