Is YOUR STOMACH ON A STRIKE?
There is Nothing to Prevent You Employing
q Substitute TO Do Its Work

There is such thing as forbear-
ance ceasing to lie a virtue even in the
case of5oneas7 stomach. There is no
question but that some stomachs Will
stand+a a great deal more wear and
tear and abuse than others, but they
al have their l-ml, and when that
limit is reached, the stomach must be
reckoned with as sure as fate. The
best way and really the only effective
way to treat your stomach when it
rebels is to employ a substitute to do
it's work. This-will give the weakened
and worn-out organ an opp -tunity to
rest and regain it's strength and
health ts,
Stuart's Dyspepsi.. tablets relieve
the stomach of it's work by taking up
the work and dcing it just as one set
OF shift of workmen relieves another.
They actually digest the food in just
the same manner and just the same
time as the digestive fluids of a sound
stomach do. In fact when dissolved
in the stomach, they are digestive
fluids for they contain exactly the
same constituents and elements as the
gastric juice and other digestive fluids
OF the stomach. No matter what the
condition of the stomach is, their work
is just the same. They work in their
own natural way without regard to
surrounding conditions.
The stomach being thus relieved by
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, is restored
and renewed by Nature and the rest
of the human body does not suffer in
the least by reason of its failure to
perform its work.
"A Wisconsin man says: II suffered
the pangs of dyspepsia for 10 years.
l tried every known remedy with in
different results until | was told Of
the remarkable cures of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. / bought box, be-
gan taking them and forgot / had
stomach. three boxes cured rle COM
pletely. / have had no trouble what
ever for a year and have an appetite
like harvest hand and can eat any
thing that is set before me without
fear of bad results"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at SOC box. The
druggist never fails to have them in
stock because the demand for them is
SO great and SO pronounced that he
cannot afford to be without them Peo-
pie who could not get them of one
druggist would go to another and
would get in the habit of buying their
other drugs there as well as their
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

How to be
Cured Of Piles
wITHOUTFAHiis

Don't wait until you are a helpless
invalid, for seemingly simple case
of hemorrhoids, or piles, may. if neg
lected, rapidly lead to worse. The un-
natural formations become numerous
and permanent, and the inflammation
grows until Assesses form; the dis
ease burrows into the tissues, forming
tubular growths which discharge pus;
cancerous conditions, and general gan.
grenous degeneration appear.
What is needed at the start, Or at
any stage is something to soOthe this
g C e alton redncn the swelling and
distention, and a. the same time re-
store the diseased parts to normal con-
dition. These three things are ar
complished permanently by the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure. 1t checks all progress
Of the disease, and rapidly returns
the affected parts to health, besides
relieving at once the pain and fearful
irritation.
Il began using Pyramid Pile Cure,
and in order to make sure of cure
bought five packages; for the past six
weeks / have not been troubled in the
least, and l had been bothered for
tHICy -uFc years, diiu udu spent luOIc
than fifty dollars for different reno
dies; this is the first permanent help
l have had, and no one could feel
more grateful than | do" l.. M. Will

Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug
gists generally for fifty cents a pack

THE ENEMY WE FIGHT

The Independent for two or three
years has been calling upon the
churches to come back to the old
ideals under which all the progress OF
the human race has been made and
make an attempt, however feeble, to
follow in the footsteps of Him who
preached the sermon on the mount.
Such men as Mr.. Bryce and Mr.. Stead,
IL England. Eve are sorry that they do
rot seem to have any counterpart in
this country, say they are covered
with shame and humiliation on ac-
count Of the course their country pur-
sued in the Boer war They are just
beginning to realize that the force that
governs their country, and all coun-
tries is the mo- ey power. Being un-
der the control of financial magnates,
governments no longer consider JUS
tice in the abstract, humanity or any,
thing seriously, save the influence OF
governmental action upon the for
tunes of those who have accumulated
vast amounts Of wealth.
There seems to be the beginning of
a reaction against this sordid and de-
basing policy in England. There is
where it had it's birth and it is fitting
that there the protests against it
should first be heard. The policy con-
tains within itself the fatal poison
that will destroy the people and the
government that adopts it. The Boer
war has made desert of South Afri-
ca, where cnce happy, God-worship-
ing people lived. The great gold min
ing syndicates have been hoisted by
their own petard and their mines lie
idle, while such curse hangs over the
land that white men avoid it as they
would pestilence. But the evils have
fallen most of all on England itself.
The cost of the war has almost bank
rupted it's treasury. Its credit has
fallen to the lowest point since the
Napoleonic wars and its population
has degenerated to such a physical
condition by years of financial domina-
tien that four oat of five of all re-
cruits are rejected because Unfit fol

INDUSTRIAL UNION CONVENTION

A lengthy call has been issued by
Robert S. Tharin "of counsel for the
National Antitrust league, 1929 Pa.
Ave-, N. W., Washington, d. c., pro-
viding that
all law-abiding citizens of the
United States, native and natural
lied, whether members of existing
societies, federations, and other
labor unions, or not, and all such
citizens generally, who are favor
able to the overthrow of the
usurped power of trusts and other
private corporations, and to the
restoration of the absolute sover-
eighty Of the people, are hereby
cordially invited to organize such
societies and such citizens into
clubs to send delegates to a great
united industrial convention of
America to be held in this city
on June %, 1904, under the aus
pieces of the National Antitrust
league, to adopt a declaration of
first principles, and to nominate
therein, If deemed advisable, can
didates for president and vice
president, and that, to avoid riy-
airy, each delegation thereto vote
as a unit. .s&
Mr.. Tharin presents a draft of dec
laration of first principles in which
he calls attention to the fact that
there was no artificial" or other
unnatural, person or trust"
present, on the American side, in
any battle Of our war for indepen-
dence; nor was any such private
corporation a member of the Con-
tinental congress, nor signer Of
our Declaration of independence,
nor a member of the convention
of 1887, which framed our con-
stitution, which was made by and
for natural persons only and
which makes no provision for any
other persons.
This "entity theory" that is to say
that the corporation is an artificial
person." an entity separte and distinct
from the members who compose it, is
shown to lead to illogical conclusions
in the courts, by Prof. Frank E.
Horack, in his Organization and Con-
troll of Industrial Corporations (The
Equity Series, 1920 Chestnut street
Philadelphia, Pa; paper, 207 pp., 25
cents).
! The Independent wishes success to
the Industrial union convention. The
logical thing would be for it to in
dorse the populist candidates for pres
ident and vice president.

those sending the amount Of their
taxes through the mail that they
must add l per cent. to the amount
to cover the penalty attached on ac-
count Of the failure to pay on or be-
fore December 31st, 1902, or else he
cannot receive it. This is important
and should be remembered by the

welcome to the people of Lexington
when in the city. They keep in stock
union made shoes which are unequal

want a good stylish, easy wearing
and everlasting shoe, at the lowest
price, give this firm call.
The Auditor desires to state that
he has made arrangements with
Treasurer Frank W. Shealy to meet
the taxpayers at Hendrix's store in
the forenoon Of February 18th, and
at Crout's Store in the afternoon of
the same day, for the purpose of re-
ceiving tax returns. These appoint
ments were overlooked at the time
his schedule was arranged and hence
he has made these special appoint
ments for the accommodation of the
taxpayers residing in the above neigh
borhoods.
At this season the wise and pru-
dent farmer will begin to get his
gears, plow moulds, plow stocks, hoes,
rakes and other agricultural imple-
ments in order before the busy season
sets in. It should be remembered
that T. B. Aughtry & Co., keep the
best agricultural implements at the
lowest prices and persons needing
goods in this line should see this
stock.

The "grim reaper" claimed for his
own on January 3, 1903, the soul of
little Florrie Bell, the infant of Mr..
and Mrs. George Rawl, aged 7
months and 13 days.
The fond parents had left it alone
just a few moments, thinking it
would remain where they had left it,
and it had moved and to their
horror found it in the fire. The little
creature lived until the next night,
when it succumbed to the fatal acci-
dent.
The funeral was conducted at the
home by Rev. George S. Bearden
and the body inferred in the family
grave yard near by.
The family has the sympathy of
the entire community in their be-
reaVement. May God comfort them
in this their trying hour. B.
