THE FEAR OF HUMBUG
Prevents Many People from Trying a
Good Medicine.

Stomach troubles are so common and
in most cases so obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion on
any remedy claiming to be a radical,
permanent cure for dyspepsia and indi-
gestion. Many such pride themselves on
their acuteness in never being humbug
ged, especially in medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far. SO far. in fact, that
many people suffer for years with weak
digestion rather than risk little time
and money in faithfully testing the
claims made of a preparation so reli-
able and universally used as Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Ere
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not secret
patent medicine. no secret is made of
their ingredients, but analysis shows
them to contain the natural digestive
ferments, pure aseptic pepsin. the di-
geStive acids, Golden Seal bismuth hy-
drastis and nux. They are not cathartic,
neither do they act powerfully on any
organ, but they cure indigestion on the
common sense plan of digesting the
food eaten thoroughly before it has time
to ferment, sour and cause the mischief.
This is the only secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure Indigestion and stomach trou-
bles because they act entirely on the
bowels, whereas the whole trouble is
really in the stomach
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals digest the food. That IS all there
is to it. Food not digested or half di-
gested is poison as ii creates gas, acid
ity. headaches. Dalpitat ton OF the heart,
er troubles which are often called by
some other name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
at so cents per package.

pANAmAs ooMMERc1AL VALUE

The commerce of Panama amounts
10 about three million dollars per an
num- it's population to about 800 thou
sand, and it's area to 31,51 square
miles, or nearly equal to that of the
state of Indiana. These figures are
supplied by the department of COM
merce and labor through its bureau of
statistics. and are the latest available
data on commerce, population and
area. Those of commerce are from the
reports of the United States consuls at
Panama and Colon, which have just
been received, and not yet published;
those of population are based upon the
late official estimate, which shows
the population in 1881, and was based
upon the census of 1871; while the fig
ures of area are from accepted geo.
graphical authorities and are those of
the area of the department of Pana-
ma of the Colombian republic. The
principal ports are Panama, on the
Pacific coast, and Colon, on the Allan
tic side, and these ports are visited
annually by more than one thousand
vessels, which land over one million
tons of merchandise and nearly 100
thousand passengers chiefly for trans
fer over the Panama railway. AZ miles
IN length, connecting the Pacific port
of Panama with the Atlantic port of
Colon.
Colon, or Aspinwal, as 1t is some
times called, has a population of about
three thousand persons. The city of
Panama has a population of about %
thousand. It was founded in 1919,
burned in 1871. and rebuilt in 1878.
while Colon is of much more recent
date, having been founded in 1855.
The population, which, as already
indicated, amounts in number to about
BOO thousand, is composed of various
elements-Spanish, Indian, Negro. and
a limited number of persons from the
European countries and the United
States. especially those engaged in
commerce and transportation and the
operation of the Panama railway. A
considerable number of the population
IS composed of persons brought to the
isthmus as laborers for the construc-
ton of the canal, and of their descend
ants. Since the abolition of slavery in
Jamaica a considerable number of
blacks and mulattoes have settled on
the isthmus as small dealers and farm
ers, and in some villages on the At
lantie side they are said to be in the
majority and as a result the English
language is much in use, especially OF
the Atlantic side. Some of the native
population have retained their Gus
tsms. speech, and physical type, espe-
cially those in the western part of the
province. and claim to be descendants
of the natives found in that section
by the Spaniards when they discov-
cred and conquered the country.

MINOR MENTION OF THE DAY

Frankfort April 16.-Henry Youte-
~, the states witness in the Howard
trial, testified today. Youtezy said
that at the time of the shooting he was
private secretary to Auditor Sweeney,
but that, while his political status
was not definitely fixed, it was under
stood he was to have a good place
under Taylor. Governor Taylor" /"
said Youtezy, directed everything
We did. We regarded him as our lead
er, and he was morally responsible
for all we did. We knew we had the
governor and pardoning board behind
us. and we were not afraid of pun
ishment for killing Goebel"
YOutezy on crOss-examination~ said
that after he was arrested and sent
to the penitentiary he still had hopes
of gaining his liberty. He thought
Yerkes would be elected governor
and would pardon him. Yerkes was
defeated, however, and about year
ago he decided to tell his story to
Prison Physician Tobin.
Youtezy said further that he had an
additional incentive to tell the story
as Taylor, Powers and others had used
MIN as a catspaw and scapegoat and
then deserted him when he got into
trouble.

MURDERER WILL BE
RETURNED TO MEXICO.


WASHINGTON, April 16-In issu-
ing the warrant for the surrender to
the Mexican government Of DR..
Charles s. Harle, now held under ar
rest at Ell Paso, Texas, on the charge
of being an accessory to a murder
committed in Chihuahua, the state de-
partment today took steps to secure
punishment of the peculiarly atrocious
crime, which las engaged the atten-
ton Of the two governments and one
OF the big New York life insurance
companies for many months. The pa
pers filed at the state department al
lege that the Mexican agent of the
company, T. c.. Richardson, man
named Meredith and DIR. Harle con-
spired to murder the man in order to
collect the insurance on his life pol
icy, which had been issued by Rich
ardson. The policy was made pay
able to Meredith. The victim was
slowly poisoned to death, and the doc
tor who attended him certified he died
from natural causes. The doctors de-
fense is that he did not himself ad-
minister the drug. Richardson and
Meredith. who were also arrested in
Texas, were discharged by the court
on the ground of insufficient evidence,
but the Mexican government has
sworn out new charges, and the two
men will be re-arrested and held for
extraditiOn.
