THE FIRST CAMERA.
II Was Invented by an Italian In the
Sixteenth Century.

It Was Invented by an Italian In the
Sixteenth Century.
The Genera was invented by an Ital-
ian named Baptista Porta, though 1t
was not at first used for photograph
ing. 1t was in reality merely a dark
room. into which the light was admit
ted through a little round hole in one
side. The rays of light coming from
objects outside of this room entered it
through this aperture and made pic.
ture on the other side Of the room glow
ing in all the beauty and color of ma
ture itself, but rather indistinct and
upside down.
This dark room was contrived by Por-
ia about the middle of the sixteenth
century. He improved it later by plac-
ing glass lens in the aperture and
outside 4 mirror which received the
rays of light and reflected them through
the lens SO that that image upon the
opposite wall within was made much
brighter, more distinct and In natu-
raj or erect position. This was really
the first camera obscura, an invention
which is enjoyed to the present day,
being situated often upon hilltop,
where 4 picturesque country surround
ing may be reflected through lens
which is placed in the center of the
conical roof.
Now, our modern Photographic cam
era is merely small cONleEa Obscura
in it's simplest form, Carrying lens at
one end and ground lass screen at
the other. 1t is, howe1 er, often much
more complicated In construction.

A strong digestion means good rich blood;
good blood means strong. well-nourished
body, capable of resisting disease.
dyspepsia or indigestion Is common
complaint. There is hardly disease that q
notattended with or complicated by impaired
digestion. DR.. Alternately, noted English
physician. once said: .sNine-tenths Of ali
diseases come from the stomach" There
are many cases of Ill health Of which Inn
perfect digestion Is the unsupported Cause.
Often the prominent symptoms of dyspepsia,
as gastric goneness, feeling of weight In the
stomach, digestive discord or gastro-intes-
final turmoil, bloating or distention Of the
stomach. belching Of wind. sour or watery
risings, vomiting after food, etc., are lacking;
but there are other symptoms not usually
attributed to dyspepsia. There may be
headaches, sleeplessness, generally played
OUT feelings, nervousness and depression.
oppression about the heart, loss Of flesh, &
rundown conditiNl hard to account for; and
many vague, ill-defned or obscure symptoms
that are really due to defective digestion
There are many remedies on the market
for impaired or perverted digestion but none
are so economical. so safe, so effective, so
popular as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Whether the dyspepsia is Of long standing
or is merely case Of temporary Indigestion,
they give prompt and pronounced relief.
Their continued use will cure all forms of
digestive ineficiency.
BY promoting perfect digestion Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets produce strong nerves,
refreshing sleep, pure blood, sound and
healthy flesh; make the skin clear. the eyes
bright, the mind cheerful. They give vigor
and vitality to tissues and functions that
enable them to resist all manner Of disease.
Germs and microbes swallowed infood and
drink are destroyed by the gastric Juice and
thus many diseases are prevented. Nopor-,
tons of food escape digestion to rot In the
bowel below and generate toxlnes and
ptomaines that will poison the blood and
tissues and menace life.
Stuarts's Dyspepsia Tablets are easily and
cheaply obtained. They are for sale as all
drug stores at 30 cents box.

MOB WRECKS ILLINOIS SALOON
Crowd Riddles Building at Irvinston
With Bullets and DESTROYS Fixtures.

Nashville, Ill.,, March "a mob
wrecked Koettgamps saloon at Irving
ton Friday. Sheriff Cohlmeyer early
this morning arrested Edward oirtle
Charles Faulkner. Peter Baker, and
Charles Dietrich, and lodged them In
jail here. They We're arraigned before
Judge Ehwehmeyer this morning
charged with being members of the
mob, but waived examination and were
remanded to Jail to await the action OF
the grand jury.
AS a preliminary to their work the
mob fired a volley from their revolvers
into the building. The occupants of the
saloon We're frightened by the Sudden
bombardment and beat retreat, leav-
ing the building in charge of the mob
which destroyed tables, chairs, stoves,
counters, and all fixtures, and piled the
wreckage in a heap on the floor.
The building was riddled with bullets,
not pane of glass being left. Altho
many of the bullets struck close to
those in the saloon, no one was injured.

Few people seem to be aware of the dan
gers OF weak, defective and disordered diges
ton. Health reports do not give 1t as 8
cause Of death because some other disease
sets in to work destructive changes, only
made possible by the imperfect digestion
and the death is credited to them.
Typhoid fever is credited with many
deaths, yet were digestion always perfect
there would be no typhoid fever. Doctors
call typhoid .enteric, meaning bowel fever
1t Is due to germ that in food or drink Is
swallowed. It reaches the bowel only by
way Of the stomach. 1t cannot live in the
secretions of vigorous stomach. Normal
gastric juice would destroy and digest 1t. Il
the stomach is weak and inactive disease
germs may succeed in passing on into the
bowel, in the secretions Of which they thrive
and we suffer from the diseases that they
engender. Thus q good digestion is great
safeguard against disease by destroying dan
gerous germs that In food and water enter
the body through the stomach.
Consumption is credited with nearly one
sixth OF the deaths of adult persons. Nc
account is made In the mortality reports OF
the fact that the Chronic starvation" due to
dyspepsia had so weakened the half-fed
tissues and reduced their vital force and
power Of resistance as to predispose to the
ravages OF consumption.
Fevers due to toxines or ptomaines de-
veloped in the body from putrefactive
changes In rotting, half-dlgested food are
credited with many deaths. No thought
seems to be given to the fact that dyspepsia
was the real cause. People do not seem to
realize that imperfectly digested food putri-
fes, decomposes, ferments and develops
peculiar poisons that are absorbed into the
hlood canSino danUornus fnyera pofsonypo
tissues and oyertaxing those organs that
have to eliminate It.
Many other facts can be cited along this
line, but enough has been said to convince
thoughtful people that the discomfort or
actual distress occasioned by dyspepsia is of
dangers to which 1t exposes one.
Every organ and tissue OF the body
depends on the stomach for nourishment
and renewal that will prepare It to perform
satisfactorily its function and resist disease.

themselves to the last degree in oppos-
ing the bill. This is very natural. The
blow aimed at the Oleo industry by the
house means a considerable loss to the
people of the south. 1t will materially
decrease the consumption of cotton
seen oil and the fatty portions of cattle,
and the state of Texas Will wage very
effective war against the proposition.
1t is intinated that Senator Bailey,
whose inclinings are VIGOROUSLY coh-
stitutionalward, will have some argu-
mems on that line to propose
However. the great fear is that the
bill will never be permitted to come to
a vote. If it is apparent to the OPPOSE
ton that on a vote they will be de-
feated, the program will involve the
talking of the measure to death. II the
opponents to the oleo bill can hold out
and keep the debate going there is no
question but that the bill will simply
die. There is no method of procedure
save thru some counter move, to pre-
vent any senator talking four weeks up
ON that bill. to be followed by another
senator who shall talk u similar length
of time.
