scheme. He had twenty books printed
one for each advertiser-delivered the
book with the advertisement in it, and
got his one hundred dollars. One of the
merchants who took an ad. says that
he inquired diligently among the railroad
men and could not find one single railroad
man that got the book or even saw one.
If a lodge will allow the use of the
names of its officers to promote
scheme to anyone they should see that
the promoter performs the work faith
fully, and further, the merchant who
wishes TO invest in scheme of that
kind can easily secure a statement from
the printer that he has printed the num-
Der of books that the promoter repre-
sents containing his advertisement Twice
last summer the merchants were solicited
by a CRATER for advertisements by par
ties who represented that 1t was at the
sanction of the Labor Union organizations
of this city. The facts in the case were
that the Central Labor union published
a denial of any connection with it.

Insurance COMPANIES.

T. a. Norris. Of life insurance company
of this city. has just received a fun re-
port from his company as to the amount
OF the policies issued by them to people
who met death in the awful Iroquo!s
theater tragedy
The New York Life paved ii death
losses about s2o.0a0. Among this number
Of insured there were two ministers. nine
school teachers, four statesmen, one farmer
and one factory superintendent.
Estimating from the standpoint OF the
New York Life, it is only fair 10 presume
that not less than 1880 Of insurance
was carried by those who lost their lives
in the diaaster.
Said Mr. Norris: 1T was quite fortu-
nate for the insurance companies that the
fire did not occur al night. Had it been
at night it would have caught many more
policy holders. and the loss 10 the COM
panies might have run Up into the

THEY ACTUALLY
DO THE WORK
Food Eaten is Worthless Unless d.
qested-Some Stomachs Must
Have Held

Food taken into the stomach which,
from the nature of the food or the cond
ton of the stomach. is not digested. is
worse than no food at all This is
true statement as far as it goes and
great many dyspeptics go only this far
with their reasoning. They argue with
themselves that because their stomachs
! do not do the work given them. they must
Be given less work; in other words they
! must be starved Ii would be just as
sensible for a business man who is unable
TO do all HIS own work to cut down his
business to his own capacity as it is for
q man to starve himself to. relieve his
stomach The sensible business man en-
ploys help and goes forward with his
business. Likewise the sensible dyspeptic
win employ help for his stomach and give
his body proper nourishment.
Stu>rt's Dyspepsia Tablets actually do
the work assigned to them They re-
lieve weak and overburdened stomachs
Of great portion of digestive action.
Their component parts are identical with
those OF the digestive fluids and secretions
OF the stomach and they simply take up
grind and carry on the work just
She same as a good. strong healthy stom-
zach would do il.
On this account Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural in their ac
tion and effects They do not cause any
unnatural or violent disturbance in the
stomach or bowels They themselves di-
gest the food and supply the system with
aIl the nourishment contained in what
= eaten and carry out Natures plans
for the sustenance9 and maintenance OF
the body.
How much more sensible is this method
than that employed by many sufferers
from weak stomachs BY this means the
ibcdy and brain get all the good. nutritious
<sz,d they need and the man is properly
x3burished and equipped to carry on his
work and perform his duties. He could
not possibly be in proper working condi-
ton by starving himself or employing
some new tangled insufficient food that
docs not contain enough nutriment for
year old baby A strong man doing
strong work must be properly fed and
this applies 10 the brain as Wei as the
body
Stusrts Dyspepsia Tablets, by relieving
the stomach or its work enable il TO
recuperate and regain its normal health
and strength Nature repairs the worn
and wasted tissues just as she heals and
knfts the bone OF a broken limb. which

0tHarts Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale

they are the one article that the drug
