THINK 1T OVER.
Something You Can See in Any Res
taurant or Cafe.

A physician puts the query: Have you
never noticed in any large restaurant at
lunch OF dinner time the large number
of hearty, vigorous old men at the ia
bles; men whose ages run from 60 to 80
years; many of them bald and all per
haps gray, but none of them feeble or
senile2
Perhaps the spectacle is so common as
to have escaped your observation or
comment, but nevertheless it is an OBJ
ject lesson which means something.
If you viii notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating you will observe
that they are not munching bran crack
ers nor gingerly picking their way
through a menu card of new tangled
health foods; on the contrary they seem
to prefer a Juicy roast of beef, a pro-
perly turned loin of mutton. and even
the deadly broiled lobster is not alto
gether ignored
The point of all this is that a vigorous
old age depends upon good digestion
and plenty of wholesome food and not
upon dieting and an endeaVor to live
upon bran crackers
There is a certain class of food cranks
who seem TO believe that meat. coffee,
and many other good things are rank
poisOns, but these cadaVerOus, sickIy
looking individuals are a walking con
demna lion of their own theories.
The matter in a nutshell is that if the
stomach seeretes the natural digestive
juices in sufficient quantity any whole
some food viii be promptly digested: if
the stomach does not do SO, and certain
foods cause distress one or two of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal
viii remove all difficulty because they
supply just what every weak stomach
lacks. pepsin. hydro-chloric acid, dias-
tase and nux.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not act
upon the bowels and in fact are not
strictly a medicine. as they act almost
entirely upon the food eaten digesting
it thoroughly and thus gives a much
needed rest and giving an appetite for
the next meal
OF people who travel nine out of ten
use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets knowing
them to be perfectly safe to use at any
time and also having found out by ex-
perience that they are a safeguard
against Indigestion in any form. and
eating as they have to, at all hours and
all kinds of food. the travelling public
for years have pinned their faith to
Stuart's Tablets.
All druggists sell them at so cents for
full sized packages and any druggist
from Maine to California. if his opinion
We're asked, win say that Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets is the most popular and
successful remedy for any stomach
trouble.

COMBAT THE eoULDs.
Combines Said to Be Made Agains
All Gould Lines.

combines SAID TO BE maze Against
All Gould Lines.
Recent developments in the railroad
world have led to the belief that a COM
bination of the men who control the ma
jority of the great systems in the coun-
try has been formed for the purpose of
combating the growing power of the
Goulds. This theory has been advanced
to account for several moves which have
recently been made resulting in ALI
ances which would have been pro-
nounced impossible one year ago.
By interchange of securities and by
close traffic relations nearly all of the
big systems have become allied either
closely or remotely. but out of all of
these interchanges the Gould system has
been barred. Independently of everyone.
the Goulds have in the last three years
extended their system and laid the
foundation for other extensions which
will give them in the end roads reaching
from the seaboard to the Pacific coast
in the states and in Mexico and to the
gulf. In many places where other sys-
TENS have been supreme the Gould rail-
ways have entered and are menacing
that supremacy.
The latest evidence of aggressiveness
on the part Of the Goulds is to be found
in the announcement that $4,000 coo
win be spent by the Wabash road in
terminals in Toledo whereby the Ann
Arbor and the Wheeling e Lake Erie
viii be connected into one big system.

rect line from Chicago to Galveston, with
a mileage of 1s4S miles against 40 miles
via the Atchison and places the Rock Is
land in much stronger position in the
southwest than it has heretofore occupied,
owing to the necessity heretofore of turn
ing over its Galveston business to the

Aside from the value OF the Houston and
Texas Central TO the Rock Island, by rea-
son Of its terminal facilities in Galveston,
it is likely to contribute a considerable
