INTERESTING, IF TRUE.
You Can Try 1t For Yourself and
Prove It.

One grain of the active principle in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
5000 grains of meat. eggs or other
wholesome food, and this claim has
been proven by actual experiment
which anyone can perform for himself
in the following manner: Cut hard
boiled eggs into very small pieces, as
it would be If masticated. place the egg
and two or three of the tablets in a
bottle or lar containing warm water
heated 90 degrees (the temperature of
the bOdy) and keep it at this tempera-
ture for three and One-half hours, at the
end of which time the egg will be as
completely digested as it would have
been in the healthy stomach of a
hungry boy
The point Of the experiment is that
what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
do to the egg in the bottle it viii do

nothing else will rest and inVigOrate

MUST BE OFTEN RENEWED.
Small Bills Have but a Brief Career in
the Commercial World

The life of a paper note, and espe-
cially those of small denomination. as a
one, two or five dollar bill, has always
been much shorter than the average
person would imagine Of late, how
ever. owing to the great increase Of
prosperity throughout the country its
existence has been curtailed until at the
beginning of the present year it has
been estimated that the ordinary out
standing note now lives but a little
more than two years.
The main reason for this lies in the
fact that as business becomes more ac-
tive there is a greater demand for small
bills for ready use and these being
handled oftener and more carelessly
than the larger ones they wear out
much sooner. This tendency to have the
average value constantly reduced has
made a great increase in the issue Of
new money. amounting to over $4,000
600 in bank notes and government pa
per currency. and a prOporti0nate in
crease in destruction and redemption.
All of this has its effect on every de-
partment through which the note pass
es, from the time of the beginning of its
existence in the paper mills of Massa-
chusetts, whence it is sent to the bu-
reau of engraving, TO the treasury and

BRIGHTER DAYS FoR OAKLEY
Enterprising Citizens to Have New
Buildings and Brick Yard.

Oakley, Feb. 23.-Chas F. Price, resi-
dent agent for the Union Pacific Land
company at Oakley is of the opinion
that this company has disposed of more
of their lands in the counties Of Logan,
Cove, Wallace and Thomas so far this
year than for many years prior to 1903.
Since the first Of January sales have
been made by him aggregating 10000
acres. There has been a large inquiry
for these lands by those who are coming
in and looking for homes, and there is a
gradual advance IN price, going on
throughout the Union Pacific land belt
in western Kansas. It is said the COM
pany still have upwards of a million
acres of land in this section of Kansas.
Oakley is the junction of the Salina &
Colby branch with the main line. hence
the Union Pacific pay wagon leaves
about $500 a month to their employees
who live in Oakley
In the last season q number Of good
residences have been completed. includ-
ing that OF Park Mitten. the editor of
the Graphic. which is said to be the best
house in Oakley and Logan county. On
the opening of spring work win be be-
gun on several others. It is impossible
to rent a house.
Oakley needs better business houses.
and many of the merchants are await
ing the coming of a cyclone or big
confiagration as an excuse to erect more
modern and larger brick and stone bus
mess houses.
Among the enterprises Oakley is soon
to possess win be brick yard. Clay
as good as can be found for brick manu-
facture is to be found here.
Oakley has a bank of 900 capital,
splendid school system, churches, a good
city building, a newspaper and the only
one In Logan county, grist mill, tele
phone connections, and it is the home of

through much of the lands granted this
company by congr ess. Some of these lands
had been sold previous to the location and
building of the branch line on long time
contracts, and in condemning the right Of
way for this branch the Union Pacific did
not pay these contract purchasers for the
damages of the right of way, but instead
paid these moneys into the county treas

which these lands are situated, and to be
paid to these contract purchasers when
they completed payment for their land
Many of these purchasers forfeited their
contracts by the failure to pay for the
lands. and in the lapse of so many years
the Union Pacific people appear to have
forgotten this money until the appoint

his duties he has discovered in several Of

In the paper mills this increase in the
