STARTLING REPORTS DENIED.
Mexican Health Omcers Refute Stories
 of Fever iEpidemic.

Mexico City, Dec. 1s.-The Superior Board of Health, which has agents all over the republic, denies sensational reports wired out regarding starvation and disease on the west coast in the northern part of the State of Sinalao.
 It Is true there have been more deaths from malaria and starvation in Sinalao than were caused by bubonic plague.
 Reports received by the Superior Board of Health today show only few cases of yellow fever remaining in the republic. which are to be found at Coatzacoalcos and Merida In the latter city there are two suspicious cases under medical observation.
 Sanitary precautions are still ob- served in other places, although there are no signs of yellow fever. Mexico will be represented at the sessions of the American Association of Public Health to he held in Havana the 9th of next month.

Encouragement for Optimists.

The optimist should dwell with pleas ure upon the distribution for the fourth time of the annual prizes of $40.000 each provided by the will of. Albert Nobel of Sweden for the heroes of science, medicine, literature and peace
 The fact that these prizes have found winners this year proves that the world has made advances in the de- partments covered by the bequest of the Swedish philanthropist. The new discoveries in the art of healing alone have made the last few years eternaily memorable, and the physical investiga- tions of such men as Curie. Finsen and Roentgen have thrown new light upon the capabilities of the elemental world.

REQUESTING A NuIsANCE.

The strange news comes from Paris that more than 2.00o walters in hotels and restaurants are making a fight to do away with the tipping habit. Their plan is to demand more pay from the,r employers instead of depending for their pay on tips or gratuities from the public. While this is certainly a cor rect position to take it is not to be supposed that the employers them selves will favor 1t. Under the habit which has grown to be almost univer- sal the proprietors of some hotels and restaurants employ their help on as cheap terms as possible with the un- derstandins that the latter will make up the deficiency by exacting and talk ing tips from customers.
 We agree with a contemporary that tipping ts not only q rank tmonsition on the customer but is really degrad- ing process. It is an imposition bs- cause when the customer goes to pay his bill there is no deduction made for what he has already paid the waiter, and the evil has reached sasn a size that the waiter must navs bis grat- uity or. the customer Is neglected. Wo are informed that there are places where 1t is almost an impossibiiity for Q customer to get any attention unless he first pays, or promises to pay, the waiter. Still he must pay the full price when he settles with the proprietor or manager.
 The habit Is degrading. bssause It inclines walters to accept posi .ioas at Low and inadequate wages. expecting to make it up by exactions rom the customers whom they are expected to serve. Then if they fail to get wnat they consider a fair tip become nsg- lectful. and often insolent. That the Paris walters have themselves taken the initiative is a credit to them, and if they succeed in carrying their point 1t will be step in the right direction that might we'll be followed on this side the water. It is alsos worthy of note in this connection that two latge hotels in London have practically brok- en up the tipping nuisance by warn ing customers against giving tips and by forbidding the walters demanding or accepting them. When we come down to the real meat of the matter there Is no more reason why customers in a hotel or restaurant should pay the walters than there Is for patrons of store to pay the clerks. One is as sound in logic or morals as the other.

Iowa Falls, Nov. 18.-The attorneys

that the Investigating committee show
how, when and where Mr.. Bliss should
be charged with any shortage in con-
nection with the Lillooett company.
1t Is intinnted some surprises may be

his friends have taken no hand In the
investigation of the company's affairs,
but since demands have been made on
Mr.. Bliss. his attorneys propose to
have every claim fully substantiated.
Mr.. Bliss continues to improve both
mentally and physically, but Is still
quite weak and while up and about the
house has not been over town. Neither

Bliss may have made mistakes In his

approve of the action of the city au-
thorities 1t is no crime for him to can
them a oh cheap lot OF officers
at least that was the decree III ,he
district court here yesterday. when Dr.
Knepper, a prominent physician OF Col
Inns. was on trial for the alleged use OF
blasphemous language on the streets.
The case was an appeal from the
mayors court, where the professional
man was found guilty. and fine of
SIS was assessed. The doctor took ex-
ception to some Of the acts of the ma
yor and got into an alteration with
that dignitary. He expressed himself
in the language quoted above. This
the mayor resented, and the doctor pro-
ceeded to further express his opinion
of the city fathers In strong Lam
guaBe.
For this he was arrested and placed
on trial. on a charge of using blasphe-
nous language and disturbing the pub
lie peace and quiet. Mayor Bromley
swore out the information, then tried
the case. The doctor was tried, con-
victed. sentenced, and fined. He at once
appealed the case to the district court.
After listening to the evidence of the
city, Judge Whitaker took the case
from the jury upon a motion OF Knep-
per's attorney, Judge Dyer, of this city,
and instructed the jury to find ver-
dict of acquittal.
One of the grounds for the courts
action was the fact that the case was
brought under the city ordinances of
Collins and not under the name Of the
state. and the alleged crime was a
statutory one and punishment could
not be prescribed under the city ordi-
nances. Another reason was that the
language used was profane, but not
blasphemous. as alleged in the petition
of the city attorney.

PUTTING 1T STRONG.

But Doesn't It Look Reasonab'ef
This may read as tho we were put

generally thought by the majority or
people that dyspepsia, in it's chrohlc
form Is incurabl,s or practically SO. f'"t
we have long since shown that o9s-
pepsia is durable, nor is 1t such dr.
ffcult matter as at first appears.
The trouble with dyspeptics Is that
they IRE continually dieting, starving
themselves, or going to opposite eS-
treme, or else deluging the ALREADY
oyerburdened stomach with "blttefs'
..after- dinner pills." etc. which inVar-
iably Increase the difficulty even II IN
some cases they do give a slight, tenn
porary relief Such treatment of the
stomach simply makes matters worse.
What the stomach wants is rest. NOV
how can the stomach become rested
recuperated and ut the same time the
body nourished and sustained.
This Is a great secret and this IS
also the secret OF the uniform success
OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, This Is
q comparatively new remedy, but lts
success and popularity leaves no doubt
rs to It's merit.
The tablets will digest the food any
way. regardless of condition of stom-
ach.
The sufferer from dyspepsia, accord
inr to directions, is to eat an abund-
ance OF good, wholesome food and use
the tablets before and after each meal,
and the result will be that the food
will be digested no matter how bad
your dyspepsia may be, because, as
before stated, the tablets will digest
the food even II the stomach Is wholly
inactive. To illustrate our mearling
plainly, IL you take 1,SO0 grains OF
meat, eggs or ordinary food and place
1t In q temperature OF IS degrees, and
nut with 1t one of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets It will digest the meat or eggs
almost as perfectly as IL the meat was
enclosed within the stomach
The stomach may be ever so weak,
vet these tablets will perform the work
OF digestion ard the body and brain
will be properly nourished, and at the
same time radical. lasting cure OF
dyspepsia will be made because the
much abused stomach will be given,
to some extent, much needed rest,
Your druggist will tell you that Of all
the many remedies advertised to cure
dyspepsia none of them have given so
complete and general satisfaction as
Etuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not
least In Importance In these hard tlmes
Is the fact that they are also the
cheapest and give the most good for
the least money.
