A disorded stomach may cause no end
OF trouble. When the stomach fails to
perform its functions the bowels become
deranged, and the liver and kidneys con
gested, causing numerous diseases, the
most fatal OF which are painless and
therefore the more to be dreaded. The
important thing is to restore the stomach
and liver to healthy condition, and for
this purpose no better preparation can be
used than Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets, For sale by all drugg ists.

America, with its characteristic prompt
ness. has paid all the policies carried BY
that company on the lives Of those per-
sons killed in the New Jersey Central
Railroad disaster near Westheld on Jan
uary 27.
OF the twenty-four persons killed, six
had policies in The PRUDENTIAL and that
company, Immediately upon learning Of
the accident, notified It's representatives
located at Plainfeld to hasten in every
way possible the filing Of proofs Of death
at the Home Office Of the company IN
Newark, in order to expediate the pay
meat u the insurance money to the af-
hicted families.
In some cases the evidence by which
the victims could be identified was very
meagre, but the company gathered all
the information it could and paid the
claims. An idea as to how vague were
the means of Identification may be had
from the fact that the company ordered
the money paid on the life Of one victim
of whom nothing was recognizable but
the filings of his teeth, which We're iden-
titled by a local dentist
Another policy holders remains were
burned beyond recognition, but the co1n-
pany paid the claim because of a ring
worn on the finger bearing the initials Of
the deceased The unfortunate engineer,
james r. Davis, through whose negli-
gence it is alleged the disaster occurred,
was also policy ?holder in The Pruden-
tial, and his beneficiary received the
money as soon as the claim papers were
filed.
Needless to say, the promptness with
which The Prudential settled these
claims shows that it is seeking the best
interests of its policy-holders in every
way possible.
It's policies are issued in amounts from
$15 UP to 100000 on the lives of persons
who are between ages one and seventy,
and to both sexes, thus bringing the bene-
fits and privileges Of its great system Of
life insurance within the reach of <all.
Persons desiring further information
should address the Home Office Of the
company at Newark. N j.
