BRAIN FOOD
Is of Little Benefit Unless 1t Is Di-
geSted.

Nearly everyone will admit that as a
nation we eat too much meat and too
little of vegetables and the grains.
For business men. office men and
clerks, AMI in fact everyone engaged in
sedentary or indoor occupations, grains,
milk and vegetables are much more
healthful.
only men engaged in a severe outdoor
manual labor can live On a heavy meat
diet and continue in health.
As a general rule, meat once a day is
sufficient for all classes of men, women
and children. and grains, fruit and veg
etables 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 large
ly of grains and vegetables where the
digestion is too weak to assimilate them
properly.
1t is always best to get the best re-
suits from our food that some simple
and harmless digestive should be taken
after meals to assist the relaxed diges-
tive organs. and several years expert
ence have proven Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets to be very SAFE, pleasant and
effective digestive and a remedy which
may be taken daily with the best re-
suits.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly
be called a patent medicine, as they do
not act on the bowels nor any particular
organ but only on the food eaten They
supply what weak stonachs lack pepsin
diastase, and by stimulating the gastric
glands increase the natural secretion of
hydrocEloric acid.
People who make a daily practice OF
taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal are sure to have
perfect digestion, which means perfect
health
There is no danger of forming an in
furious habit as the tablets contain alb
solutely nothing but natural digestives
cocaine, morphine and similar drugs
have no place in a stomach medicine
and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are GER
tainly the best known and most popular
of all stomach remedies.
Ask your druggist for a so cent pack
age of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and
after a weeks use note the improve
ment in health, appetite and nervous
Senergy.

and gratifying results of the safety ap-
pliance act of 1898, which requires the
us of automatic couplers and which
went into full effect on August 1, 1900.
The number of employees killed shows a
decrease of 6S per cent and this, not
withstanding the fact that there is now
engaged in this work a much larger
number of men than in 1893. The de-
| crease in the number injured is still
greater, being no less than 81 per cent"

April statement covered only the mile
age of the Rock Island proper, exclud-
ing the new acquisitions. In May no
statement was issued at all. Beginning
with June the figures evidently cover
the whole system, including the Choc-
taw, the Cedar Rapids & Northern ana
the Rock Island & Peoria. AS the fig
ures are compared with the figures OF
the Rock Island proper for 1871, they
show increases of over S1,OOO,OOO month
In gross earnings and of about $o0O,OOO
q month in net.
This has evidently been responsible
for the belief, held in some quarters,
that Rock Island common is now earn
ing about 6 per cent. Just what the
stock is earning is a matter of uncer-
tafnty owing to the fact that all the
figures of the last year have not been
published. It is possible, however, 10
figure share earnings approximately.
The surplus shown by each of the UNI
deriving companies of the Rock Island
system for the last fiscal year reported
was as follows:

This surplus was earned after liberal
