SOUR STOMACH (Acid Dyspepsia)
Now Recognized as the Cause of SerI'
Gus Diseases.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly caliea
heartburn or sour stomach, is form OF
indigestion resulting from Fermentation
of the food. The stomach being too
weak to promptly digest it, the food re-
mains until fermentation begins, f1ll-
ing the stomach with gas, and a bitter
sour, burning taste in the mouth is Oft
en- present. This condition soon be-
comes chronic, and being an every day
occurrence is given but little attention
{ BECAUSE dyspepsia is not Immediately
fatal, many people do nothing for the
trouble.
1t is now we'll known among able ply
sicians that the whole constitution is
gradually undermined and weakened,
that the nerves and vital organs are
seriously affected by any form of dys-
pepsia. This is plain, as every organ
every nerve in the body is nourished by
the blood and the blood is replenished
from the food digested. Ii the food is
properly digested the blood is pure the
nerves steady, but If supplied from a
sour, fermenting, decaying mass, the
blood is vitiated, poisoned and the re-
suit is shown in sleeplessness, lack OF
energy, poor appetite, nervousness. Ev-
cry trifie is magnified and the dyspep-
tic sees nothing but the dark side OF
everything.
Within a recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and 1t is now becoming rapidly used
and prescribed as radical cure for ev-
cry form OF dyspepsia.
It is not claimed to cure anything ex-
cept dyspepsia and stomach weakness
in its various forms, but for this it has
been shown to be unequalled. The emf
nent specialists, Reed and O'Leary,
have recently stated that they consid-
cred Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets an un-
falling specific for disorders of the di-
gestive organs, and the remarkable
cures made in cases of long standing
dyspepsia proves that this remedy has
extraordinary merit.
Stuartss Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold by
druggists everywhere at so cents per
package, and while 1t promptly and eff
fectually restores vigorous digestion,
at the same time is perfectly harmless
and will not injure the most delicate
stomach. but on the contrary, by CIV
ing perfect digestion, strengthens the
stomach. improves the appetite and
makes life worth living.

request for additional funds, and it is
altogether probable that $4,000 will be
added to the original gift, making $12,-
500. The 2-mill levy will raise approX1-
mately $1,2b0 per year income, and Mr.
Carnegie's requirements would thus be
fully complied with The joists are now

courts. For the sake of harmony and
to avoid confusion the courts of the
United States will lean towards an
agreement with the views of the state
courts if the question seems TO them
balanced with doubt, and where, how
ever, by certain course of decisions
of the state courts certain rules OF
property, the courts of the United
States always regard such rules as au-
thoritative declarations of what the law
is.
The very object of giving the ma
tional courts jurisdiction to administer
the law of the states, in controversies
between citizens of different states, was
to institute tribunals which are sup
posed to be unaffected by local preju-
dice. 1t therefore becomes their duty
to exercise independent judgment in all
cases not foreclosed as before stated by
previous adjudication. And in all cases
of commercial law and general juris-
prudence they always exercise their
own judgment regardless of the state
courts.

where they had an explanation and a
scene. Leaving his wife on the Pacific
coast, he returned to Chicago to bor-
row funds, for the deluded couple were
desperate and penniless.
Arrived in Chicago, the truth of the
whole affair came out. Everybody was
wondering at the elopement, but the
wonder gave way to merriment when
the explanation was given. Percy was
walking moodily along Lake Shore
drive the day after his arrival, when
he met the radiant Dorothy, beautiful
as Venus, emerging from the foam OF
the Adriatic.
"How dye do, Percy?" she sai6,
archly. "You always were changeable,
you know; but who would have thought
you would have surprised your friends
this way? You used to say you would
never marry unless your fiance had
money. What on earth made you 60
and fall in love with Maud Vansittart !?
It is very beautiful to know of such dis.
interested affection. She's not only
plain, but poor. 1 thought I told you

PARLIAMENTARY AMENITIES,
Example of the Enlivening Methods
of Debate in the Austrian
Reichsrath.

Recently, in the Austrian reichsrath,
an interchange of abusive epithets was
INDUCED in by the socialists and anti
Semites, such as has not been heard
since the days of the Pan-Germanic OBJ
struction. Even in the height of that
exciting time such expressions of in
suit were never echoed by the walls
of the house as were in this case,
The cause of the disgraceful scene was
question put by socialist, DR.. Ellen
bogen, who characterized the proceed
ings of the anti-Semites at an election
for a municipal functionary as deceit
full, says the Vienna correspondent of
the London Telegraph.
''Impudence!" shouted the anti
Semites, and Herr Schumeir, a social
ist, retorted: "Tt was nevertheless a
swindle." DR.. Gessman, an anti-Se-
mite, hereupon shouted: "You social
lists are an vagabonds and swindlers.'' -
The greatest confusion prevailed, and
the president persistently rang his
bell. The following elegant dialogue
was heard above the din:
Schumeier Ito ssmann)-You're a
university trained scoundrel.
Gessmann-You are all a pack of
thieves. You common fellows lie about
your past.
Ellenbogen You steal kreutzers
from the pockets of the workmen. We
only ask for our rights.
Cries were now heard from the So
cialists: "Turn out the impudent
Jew!" 4 scuffle began between the
two contending parties, and efforts
were made to separate them. The
president called them to order ,and
asked: care you not ashamed thus to
degrade the dignity of the house?"
Gessmann (furiously to. Schumeier)
Infamous wretch! Cowardly rogue!
You belong to the Wurstel Prater-(a
popular place of amusement.)
chumeier-Impudent rascal! Swim
dler with a doctors hat! Corn ex-
tractor!
This astonishing scene was brought
to close by voice loudly quoting
from Goethe's "GotEvon Berlichingen."
The lines were heard above the tu-
llult, and caused so much surprise that
the noise ceased and business pro-
ceeded.

CLEAR THE ROAOl

In boyhood days we used to go,
when winter winds blew chill,
with ruddy cheeks and nimble feet,
To coast down Martins Hill.
And from each speeding single sled
Or double.runner's load,
The frosty air was rent In twain
with shouting: "Clear the road"
Like arrows from bow of steel,
Teeth set and eyes aglow,
We sped the length of Martins Hill
Across the glist'ning snow.
There was no halting on the way,
No one steered out or slowed"
We sped like mad down Martins Hill,
And shouted: Clear the road!'
Then one by one we put away
The much-beloved sled,
And iourneyed forth into the world,
Ambitions paths to tread.
We bade good-by to Martins Hill
And youthhood's sweet abode,
And shouted in an undertone
For men to CLEAR the road!'
We found along the paths of trade
Another Martins Hill;
With men at break-neck pace acoast,
With voices loud and shrill,
Who never halted on their way
Where fortune fancies glowed,
Who shouted loud from morn till night
That warning: "Clear the road"
