Those who are regarded as authorities

HOW TO DRINK HILK.
why 1t DlsaErees with Some PeopI

Why 1t DisaEreeH with Some People.
When one needs a ~reviving stimulant after
exhaustion nothing can rival the effects of
hot milk slipped slowly.
Some people say they cannot digest milk
and these are the people who drink 1t down
quickly. so that the digestive acids, in play
ing around it, form large curds which give
trouble before they can be absorbed.
The right way is to sip the milk in small
amounts. SO that each mouthful, as 1t de-
scends into the stomach, is surrounded by
the gastric fluid, and when the whole
glassful is down the effect is that of a
spongy mass of curds, in and out Of which
the keen gastric juices course, speedily
doing their work Of turning the curd into
peptones that the tissues can take up.
To make sure OF complete digestion take
one or two OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
afterward, as the pepsin and diatase they
contain increase the quantity and efficiency
Of the gastric juices and supply the natural
digestive ferments which all weak stomachs
lack.
Miss Anna Folger, a professional nurse,
speaking Of the value OF Stuart's Tablets in
convalescence, says: "In adult patients re-
covering from severe illness, and especially
In children where milk disagrees, one or two
tablets overcome any difhculty and seem to
strength the stomach in a remarkably
short time. l myself have used them daily
for years, when my own digestion has suf-
fered from the Irregularities and loss OF
slOCp consequent upon my occupation.
mot only children and invalids, but pro-
fessional people and others whose meals are
necessarily hurried or irregular will find
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Of the greatest
value in keeping up the tone and digestive
yigor OF the stomach"
They contain the active digestive ferments
the lack OF which is really the only cause
Of Indigestion and stomach troubles, and the
regular daily use Of them after meals will
probably cure any case Of stomach trouble
except such as arises from cancer OF uleera-
ton.
Many druggists have said that they sell
more stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets than all
pther stomach remedies combined.

Unity Club Listen to PAPER
on Phases of the Ques-
ton.

Members Of Unity club held their regu-
lar meeting Saturday evening at the Lin
niger studio and listened to papers touch
ing on the subject of constitutional His
tory" The first paper read was on the
subject, Interstate Commerce in the
United States" by Mr.. E. C. Page. He
dealt with the subject in special reference
to the growth Of the Interstate
and the efforts OF the state to regulate its
abuses. He traced the commerce rules
from the revolution, showing how the doc
trines had developed from mere interchange
Of goods to navigation, thence to the trans
portation of passengers, and thence to the
maximum freight rates, which at present
is the paramount issue between the COM
mission and the railroads OF the country.
The second paper was read by Judge Irv-
Ing Baxter, in which he dwelt on the abuses
OF the present laws in the subject, Inter
state Commerce" During the course Of his
remarks he stated that the suggestion of
George Washington to have commercial in
tercourse between the colonies led to the
extension to foreign governments and later
resulted in the conference which was held
in Philadelphia, and from the code adopted
there grew the present rules governing in
terstate
In conclusion. he stated that at the
Philadelphia convention of the American
Economical society Mr.. Prouty, a member
OF the United States Interstate Commerce
commission, recommended the establish
ment OF a court to deal with the
cases which should rightfully come before
It, and judges of which should be appointed
for life, leaving the United States supreme
court a tribunal to which all appeals might
be taken,

IN APPALLING DESTITUTIoN
81. Louis Family Found in Condition
of Suffering and Death which
StartIes the OnIOOkers.

ST. LOUIS. Jan. Slick and tossing on a
miserable couch in a poverty-stricken
abode and surrounded by her five young
children, the police today found Mrs.
Nancy McKane, slowly dying from hunger.
The dsad bodies Of her husband and a 16-
months old grandson lay in the same room.
There was no fire and no food. One of the
children Fay on the couch with the suffering
mother. flushed with fever.
The husband had died from consumption
yesterday and the infant grandson had sue
cumbed to insufficient n~ourishment.
The case was so appalling in it's destitu-
tion that the two officers, who had acci-
dentally discovered it, provided coal and
food from their own pockets, and then took
the opportunity to max a report for speedy
charity.
A North st. Louis undertaken took
charge of the bodies and will give them a
decent burial and the authorities hTye

CounciImanIc Representation.

OMAHA, Jan. 3.-To the Editor Of The
Bee: II you would invite suggestions from
men who have served in the city council
find that a large majority of these ex-
councilmen would be in favor of going
back to the original method of representa-
ton; namely. two counCilmen from each
ward, to be nominated and elected in their
respective wards, one every year. This,
with our present number of wards, would
give nine new councilmen each year.
Experience has proved to me that ward
councilmen can act with much more indie
p%endence on matters affecting the whole
city than councilmen-at-large, for council
men-at-large are subject to any power that
can WELD political Influence in any part OF
the city. A ward councilman, IL he hon
be afraid of being bulldozed by outside in
luences.
One great advantage In having ward
counctlmen conveniently located in their
wards is that the men who have to work
all day, mad every day, can see their repre-
sentative in the evening at his home and
plants without being compelled to lose n
day to attend committee meetings of the
council or meetings of the board Of equal
ization, or board of review, or any other
board that may have power over their
property or interests. 1t ought to be the
most sacred duty of a councilman to attend
to such matters for those who have not the
means to employ attorneys or agents to
look after their interests, and this class is
undoubtedly entitled to as much considera-
ton as wealthy men and corporations
whose agents are Away on the watch for
their interests.
1 think it will be admitted by those who
have had experience in these matters that
a councilman elected at large for three
years at a salary of $5 or 500 a month is
not near as useful to the common people
as a councilman elected for two years from
his own ward at a salary Of $50 a month
for the people who know the candidates are
the best judges of their merits

CONFERENCE OCCURS MONDAY
Regular and Union Republicans of
Delaware VIII Then Consider
Division of Omces.

WILMINGTON, Del, Jan. 3.-The regular
republican members OF the general assem-
bly, met here today to consider the propo-
sition presented yesterday by a committee
Of the union or Addicks republicans con-
corning the division of officers of the leg
i~slature. The union republican committee
stated its willingness to divide the offices
equally, providing the officers were chosen
by a caucus of all the republican members
Of the assembly. 1t is stated that this
proposition is not acceptable to the regu-
lars, for the reason that IL they should
participate in a joint caucus on the ques-
ton Of officers and decline to do so on the
question Of the election OF a United States
senator they might be subject to criticism.
The whole matter was postponed until
Monday.
The regulars favor the selection of off,
GERS by each faction, and announce their
disapproval of any caucus with the Addicks
adherents.

SLIDES BLOCK The RAILWAYS
Northern Traffic Completely Stopped BY
Rivers Of Mud and Water.
CITIES ARE ALSO BEING INUNDATED
While None of Land shifts Cause
serious Destruction, Flood waters
Arc Doing vast Damage to
Town and Country property.

TACOMA, Wash, Jan. 3.-Shortly before
midnight last night slides we're reported
from various points along the main line Of
the Northern Pacific, and since that time
slides have been occurring at intervals to
noon today. The wires we're down and
railroad officials were unable to get in
formation except from nearby points.
AS near as can be learned. none of the
slides we're of a serious nature, and IL Is
thought the track will be cleared within
twenty-four hours.
The worst slides are reported from points
east of Tacoma, but there is trouble be-
tween Tacoma and Portland and the track
is blocked on all the branches.
Trouble had occurred on the Great North
ern earlier in the day and that road was
sending its passenger trains over the North
ern Pacific. The Great Northern train and
the Northern Pacific that left Seattle last
evening are both tied up one mile from
Palmer Junction.
Slides are reported on the Pacific divi-
sion between Castle Rock and Kalama.
Special trains with construction crews
were dispatched in all directions from Ia
coma this morning.
Much interruption to service has been
sustained by the telegraph and telephone
lines. All the rivers are raging and much
damage to bridges is anticipated.
SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. S.-The Great
Northern Coast Line and the Northern Pa
cifc's line to Summas are the only lines Of
railroad running out of Seattle which are
open tonight. For three hours today even
these lines we're blocked by slides.
Floods have interrupted the train service
on the west side Of the mountain and slides
in the mountains have added to the trouble.
In addition there have been numerous small
slides occurring on the West Side lines.
At Z o'clock tonight the climax In the
railroad food situation was reached when
the White and the Stuck rivers in King and
Pierce counties went out of their banks
flooding the Interurban and Northern Pa
cihc tracks between Seattle and Tacoma
several feet under water, flooding the val
ley between Auburn and Kent and driving
many residents through the White river
valley from their ZONES
Train service between Seattle and Ia.
coma has been abandoned, and at midnight
there was no telling when 1t would be re-
established.
Advices from Auburn are to the effect
that there are several bad washouts In The
vicinity of Auburn and that the big bridge
between Auburn and Tacoma was totterinl
and ready to go out at any time.
The streets in Kent, Auburn, Darlington
and other towns in that vicinity were
flooded. and there was no telling how grea
the damage to property will be, but it wal
said it will be very heavy.

WHEAT PROSPECTS ARE GOOD
Condition of New Crop Said to He
Very Promising by the
weather Bureau.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The weather
bureaus summary Of crop conditions is as
follows;
In the principal winter wheat states the
month averaged cold, with more than the
usual amount of precipitation. The temper
ature conditions were, however, unfavor-
able to winter wheat until the last ten
days, when the states OF the upper Iissis-
sippi and Missouri valleys experienced tenn
peratures ranging from zero to 2S degrees
below.
During this period the Ohio valley states
were generally we'll protected with snow
covering. but in the central Mississippi
and lower Missouri valleys the crop was
exposed.
Only slight damage, however, seems to
have resulted. and at the end Of the month
the crop appears to be very promising.
