YOU WILL BE ALL SMILES AGAIN,
FORGET Your Stomach and You'll Have
Santa Claus Face.
How 20 Do II.

If there is one thing more than all
Others that will give man forlorn
and friendly appearance and make him
morbid and cranky" and disagreeabie,
that thing is dyspepsia. 1t makes one
forget his friends and become morose
and irritable. He is so wrapped up IN
his own misery that he is dnconsider-
ate of every one else. Relieved of this
terrible and depressing ailment. ne
again becomes a good fellow and a
man among men.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are be-
yond question the most effective and
popular remedy ever offered to the SUI
6erers of this terrible disease. me
thousands and thousands cures they
have brought about and the enormous
increase of their sales fully attest the
truth of this statement.
They are, above all. natural RENE
dy. They possess exactly the same
properties that the gastric juices and
other di gestive fluids OF the stomach
possess and they actually do the d.
vestiye work of the stomach and enable
that organ to rest and recuperate ana
become sound and well. They act in
4 mild, natural manner and cause no
disturbance 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 stomach and his
resulting cheerfulness presents great
contrast to his former detection.
Millions of boxes of sStuart's Dyspep-
eda Tablets are sold annually and they
are but in the dawn OF their populari-
". Every mail brings letters OF
thanksgiving from grateful ones who
have been cured OF this terrible dis
ease. The following is one of hun
dreds received each week:
Rev. J. r. Hoag, OF Wymore, Neb.,
writes: For six years l have been
troubled with dyspepsia. Last fall 1
became very much alarmed at some
symptoms of heart trouble and came
to believe there was a sympathetic re-
iation between the two diseases. or
rather, that the stomach trouble was
the cause OF the heart disturbances. I
hit upon Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
for a remedy and invested dollar and
4 half for three boxes, which lasted me
three months. and can eat any kind
OF food want and have good. vigor-
GUS appetite. Altho am n years old.
I now feel perfectly wei and without
being requested by any one / make
this statement as a compliment to the
virtues Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

Sioux City. Dec. pa war against
Sunday funerals has been inaugurated
by Rev. r. n. McKaig. pastor of the
First Methodist Episcopal church, who
declares that the ministers of Sioux
City are almost unanimously opposed
to them.
Rev. Dr. McKaig fired his first gun
by presenting the matter to a meet
ing of the Ministerial Association at
the Y. Nj. c. A. building yesterday NOR
ming, but no action was taken thereon.
Rev. McKaig says that he has the as
surance of support from most of the
ministers and that action undoubtedly
will be taken urging the members OF
the various churches of the city to
avoid holding funerals on Sunday as
far as possible.
The ministers and the undertakers
are united in this matter" declared
Rev DR. Mckaig. "As 1t is, both
classes have too much work on Sun
day"
Rev. DR. McKaigs chief objection to
Sunday funerals is that they interfere
with the attendance at church serv-
ices. He explains that people who have
funeral to attend on Sunday often
overlook the other services at the
church during the day. In many cases
after a funeral in the afternoon, plea
of being too tired to attend the even
ing services is offered.
"Of course we will not ask anything
that is unreasonable" said REV. DR..
McKaig. I'VE do not propose to abb
solutely bar Sunday funerals. In many
cases the fueral services can not be
held on any othereday. But we wish
to discourage Sunday funerals. In
many cases people hold the funerals
on that day for no better reason than
that they want a large attendance.
Rev. Or. McKaig says he has talked
with a number of undertakes of the
city and they seem to be unanimously
in favor of reform. The anti Sunday
funeral campaign has been successful
ly waged in other cities, and Rev. Or.
McKaig thinks it can be successfully
waged here.
SUNDAY is busy day for the min
lister at its best he declared, and II
is not right that it should be MADE any
buster for them unnecessarily.

DISAPPOINTMENT FOR IOWA.
No Postoffice Building Appropriations
to be Made by Congress.


Muscatine, Dec. "a special tc
the Journal from Washington says IT
is stated on good authority that there
will be no appropriation for public
buildings at this session of congress.
II this proves to be the case. 1t means
that the hopes of a number of Iowa
cities who are looking for public build
ings for their postofffces will go slim-
merng for another year at least. The
Iowa cities for whom bills for postof-
fees have already been presented by
their respective dongressmen are as
follows:
Des Moines, 100000; Muscatine.
$50. 900; Webster City, s125,000; Ma
son City, 100000; Ames, 100000.
There is no doubt that there is
strong general tendency to be econom-
ical in appropriations this year. AS 1t
is the session just preceding national
election, the republican party, the par
ty in the majority, will naturally be
very careful not to place themselves
In a position where they will be liable
to a charge Of extravaganza.
