Forget Your Stomach and You'll Have a Santa Claus Face
HOW TO DO m.

If there is one thing more than All nth. CTS that will give a man a forIorn and friendless appearance and make him nor bid and cranky" and disagrceable. that thing is dyspepsia. It makes one forget his friends end become moross and Irrita. ble. He is so wrapped up in his own mis- cry that he is inconsiderate of every one else. Relieved of this terrible and dee pressing ailment, he again becomes A good fellow and man among men.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are beyond question the most effective and popular f remedy ever offered to the sufferers of this terrible disease. The thousands and thousands of cures they have brought about and the enormous increase of their sales fully attest the truth of this state- ment.
 They are, above all, natural remedy. They possess exactly the same properties that the gastric juices and other digestive fluids of the stomach possess, and they actually do the digestive work of the stomach and enable that organ to rest and recuperate and become sound and well. They act in a mild, natural manner and cause no disturbance In the digestive organs. They prevent any fermentation of the food which causes sour stomach, In fact, under their influence the subject forgets that he has a stomach and his resulting cheerfulness presents a great contrast to his former detection.
 Millions of boxes of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold annually and they are but in the dawn of their popularity. Ey. cry mail brings letters of thanksEivinr, from grateful ones who have been cured of this terrible disease. The following ia one of hundreds received each week: ( Rev. J. R. Hoag of wymore. Neb writes. For six years have been troi,. bled with dyspepsia. Last fan I became very much alarmed at some symptoms oS heart trouble and came to believe thera was a sympathetic relation between inc two diseases. or, rather, that the stomach trouble was .he cause of the heart tia- turbances. I hit upon Stuart's Dyspepsla Tablets for remedy and invested a doI- lar and half for three boxes which lasted me three months, and I can eat any kind of food want and have a good. vigorous appetite.

 Among the earliest duties which will devolve upon the members of the Fifty eighth Congress will be the choice of 6 sneaker. and present indications make it sure that Uncle Joe Cannon will be the speaker chosen from the West.
 The Sneaker of the Fifty-seventh Con Rress, David B. Henderson. was the first to be chosen from the territory west oi the Mississippi
 The first Speaker was F. A. Muhlen- burg, of Pennsylvania. The post oi Speaker was held in the Twenty-fourtt and Twenty-fifth Congresses by James K PoiK, afterward President.
 Sneakers of the House of Representa- tives who have been candidates for Presi- dent are numerouss, and include Henry Clay. John Bell and James c. Blaine Schuyler Colfax after having been Speak CT. was Vice-P President of the United States.
 The oldest surviving Speaker Is GaIu. sha A. Grow, born in 1923. and Speaker from 1861 to 1863.
 The last Democratic Speaker Charles F. Crisn. was a native of England. There has never been a speaker from inc Pacific Coast and it Is a somewhat cur;ous circumstance that Ohio, though nre-eninent in nearly all other political officea. has had in the country's history h,,t one Sneaker, John w. Kiefer, who served only a single term. The state of New York has had nc Sneaker since the close of the Nineteenth Conrress. in 1897, though the State of New York during the whole of that period has been the most populous State and the one having the largest congressional repre- sentation.
 The Speaker of the Fifty-eighth Con- Rress. when chosen Will preside over a larger number of members or congress than any of his predecessors, the total rnenberShip of the next House being 3s6.

FOR MORE PENSIONS
GRAND ARMY's NEW CHIEF DE CLAREs FOR AN INCREASE
 OF MILLIONS.
For Sixty Day veterans-Every One of sixty-two Years old or More
 to Receive . stipend

Washington Special to New York Herald. General John c. Black, the new com mander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, has begun his administra- ton by declaring in favor of an increase of the pension expenditures of the govern
 rent that would amount to from s21, ,0o0.-
 600 to so. .o0o.0Oo year. and would run the
 total payments up from the present figure
 of $40, vvO to $161. .000000 or t!O,000, 900. General Black has declared that it will be the policy of the Grand Army, of the Republic to fight from now on for pen- sion for every veteran of the civil war more than sixty-two years old who saw
 sixty days of actual service and for their widows after them. This means that Gem
 eral Black intends to commit the Grand
 Army of the Republic to campaign for the addition of at least S000O0 names to the 100000 already on the pension rolls. The Commissioner of Pensions, Mir. Ware estimates the number of survivors of the civil war who are not now drawing pensions at more than two hundred thou sand. He says they may number two hundred and twenty-five thousand. If the proportion of widows to survivors is as great as was the proportion of widows Co
 survivors at the corresponding date after the Mexican War there are probably Q few more than one hundred thousand wid- ows of civil war veterans who are not now drawing pensions.
 New Pensioners Probable 300, 900. It is difficult to estimate what propor- ton of the survivors are sixty-two years
 old or more. but 1t is quite probable that
 enough are of that age to bring the total
 num- CT of new pensioners. including the
 widows, up to about three hundred thou sand.
 The amount that this would add to the annual pension expenditures would de-
 pend upon the rate of pension to be ale
 lowed. If service pension law should
 be enacted, 1t is safe to say that the rate
 would not be less than S a month. or $72 year. At this rate the addition of
 3O0, 900 names to the roll would add s21,- 600,000 to the annual expenditures.
 Advocates of a service pension for the civil war would hardly, however, be con- tented with such beggarly pittance as Sc a month. especially in view Of the fact that the last Congress increased the rate of pension for survivors of the Mexican War to SIP a month, or $144 a year. It is certain that Congress would not give the survivors of the civil war a service pen- sion of $12 a month.
 It is probable that. if such a pension should be provided for, the rate would be $S month. This would involve increas-
