YOU WILL BE ALL
SMILES AGAIN
Forget Your Stomach and You'll Have
Santa Claus Face Always.
HOW no DO IT.

If there is one thing more than all
others that Will give a man fOrlorn
and IrlendleSS appearance and make
him morbid and cranky" and disagree
able, that thing is dyspepsia. 1t makes
one forget his friends and become mo-
rose and irritable. He is so wrapped up
in his own misery that he is inconsid-
crate of every one else. Relieved of this
terrible and depressing ailment he again
becomes a good fellow and man
among men.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are be-
yond question the most effective and
ferers 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 statement.
They are, above all, a natural rem
edy They possess exactly the same
properties that the gastric juices anu
other digestive fluids of the stomach
possess, and they actually do the dIgeS
tive work of the stomach and enable
Become sound and well. They act in a
mild, natural manner and cause dis
turbance 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 great contrast
to his former detection.
STA Tablets are sold annually and they
are but in the dawn of their popularity.
Every mail brings letters of thangsgiv-
ing from grateful ones who have been
cured of this terrible disease. The fol-
lowing is one of hundreds received each
week:
Rev. J. R. Hoag of Wymore, Neo.,
writes: For six years 1 have been
troubled with dyspepsia Last fall be-
come very much alarmed at some svmp
toms of heart trouble and came 10 De-
lieve there was sympathetic relation
between the two diseases. or rather, that
the stomach trouble was the cause of
the heart disturbances. 1 hit upon

months, and can eat any kind of food

men He often comes to Topeka to visit
his parents.
The work of relaying the track of the
Rock Island railroad between Topeka and
St Joe is reported to be progressing very
rapidly. The gang of IS men which start
ed from St Joe has only been working d
week, but already five miles of the new
track has been laid The rails which are
now being put in to take the place of the
old 65-pounders are said to be S5-pound
rails. 1t is thought that the work of MAX
ing the change will occupy about a month.

MUST USE STEEL TIES.
Supply of Wood Is Being Rapidly
Depleted.

In talking of the difficulty the roads
are now experiencing in obtaining suf-
ficient ties to meet their requirements
a prominent official said:
Il have been studying the question
of railroad ties and have about come
to the conclusion that the day of the
wooden railroad tie is fast drawing to
a close.
There are 1000, 900 600 feet of lum-
Der cut in this country every year.
which reduced to cords makes about
so. 900, 900 cords per annum. There are
only about 1000, 600 cords of good
marketable lumber left in this country
at the present rate of consumption, and
it is we'll scattered.
1.-THE railroads of the United States
are using 100, O00, 900 cross ties per an
mum, not including ties for new con-
struction which reduced to cords
amounts to about 700, 900 cords per an
mum.
the price of railroad ties is advancing
and that some of the leading roads are
obliged to pay as high as rs cents for
them, as compared with 80 cents few
years ago.
TT is very evident, therefore, that
the railroads of the United States will
have to turn to some substitute for
wooden ties, and steel appears to be
the best substitute. Steel ties are TAX
ing the place of the wooden ties along
Inc ent1C6 rOaUDeQ OI the 1-itlSOui 81
Bessemer and Lake Erie, which is con-
rolled by the United States Steel Cor
poration. and they have proved a great
success, for, while the first cost may
be larger, the life of the tie is very
much longer. In Germany and Swift
zerland sleel ties have been used by the
railroads for some time, and are pro-
nounced great success
THE general adoption of steel ties
by our railroads would prove of great
moment to the United States Steel Cor
poration 1 believe it is only a question
of time when the manufacture of steel
ties will be undertaken upon large
scale in this country"

system on the one hand and all west

other. In pursuance of a mandate is
suing from financial sources, executive

sociation. at which the mileage oues-
ton was thoroughly and amicably dis
cussed. The Rock Island was not only
represented. but was a party to the
call which was issued for the meet

war would not be tolerated by those
in financial control of western rail-
roads and that peace and harmony
must be restored. The new mileage
bureau was the only question dis
cussed, and although an agreement was
not reached. it is understood that the
way was paved for settlement at an

INCREASED DEATH RATE.
Annual Report of the Surgeon Gener-
al of the Army.

Washington Oct. IAN increase in
the death rate of the army from 1894
per thousand in 1901. to 15.49 per thous-
and in 1902, is shown in the annual re-
for the fiscal year ending June 80. This
increase is attributed to cholera, which
caused 354 deaths per thousand. A
slight improvement appears in the ad-
mission rate for disease and injury
which declined from 1791.59 per thous-
and in 1901 to 1716.51 per thousand in
1902. Discussing other features of the
health of the army Surgeon General
O'Reilly's report says:
1.-The enrolment of about 5000 native
Filipino scouts having added a new
racial element to the army. it becomes
a matter of much interest to study the
comparative effects of disease on the
demand on our white and colored
troops For the whole army, at home
and abroad. during the year 1902, the
white troops showed an admission rate
of 1,70633 per thousand and a death
rate of 14.49. The negro troops had
1,897.74 admissions and PAIL deaths per
1000 and the Malay scouts 1,707.21 adj
missions per l 600 and 24.04 deaths. The
white race therefore gave the lowest
figures in sickness and much the lowest
mortality. The black race led in both,
although the Malay closely approached
it in death rate.
1.-The freedom of Filipinos from the
vice of drunkenness is striIxingly SHOWN
three individuals were treated for alco-
holism in one year: white soldiers were
admitted to sick report on account of
their own misconduct in the use of al
cohol at the rate of PATS per 1000 and
colored troops at the rate of lilo; the
Malay scouts showed the extremely
small admission rate of 0.62 per thous-
and.
THE steadily increasing prevalence
Of venerea1 diseases is the most dlscous-
aging feature in the sick report of the
army. During 1902. $1,000 admissions
were from this cause alone, equivalent
to a rate of 1904 per 1000. Admissions
to sick report from alcoholism in 1902
were slightly in excess of the number,
including volunteers. for 1901 A total
number of 1880 cases, equivalent to
% s. per 1000 of strength occurred. Tt
is impossible not to attribute a large
part of the steadily increasing venereai
disease of the army to the loss of the
canteen where the soldier if he so de-
sired, could get his beer throughout the
month, but was not subjected to the
tempta tons to intemperance and vice
now attendant upon the expenditure of
a full months pay at the low resorts
infesting the outskirts of our military
reservations.
"A slight diminution of insanity oc-
Cured in the army during 1902, There
were 1873 new cases, equivalent to the
admission rate of LII per thousand.
which is almost identical with the rate
for the decade 1891 to 1907
