Following the selection of the above
to the consideration of amendments to
the constitution and the articles of as
sociation. The most important amend
ment was in changing the name of the
society from the Loyal Americans"
TO the Loyal Americans of the Repub-
lie" This change was made necessary
because another fraternal bneeficiary
society was incorporated and doing
business in the state of Michigan by
the name of the Loyal Americans of
Michigan and the laws of Michigan
forbid two corporations having the
same name from transacting business
sires to continue work in that field
your congress adopted the name of
Loyal Americans of the Republic"
Another important amendment was in
changing the basis of representation
for the election of delegates to the ma
tional congress from one delegate for
each 1000 members TO one delegate for
each 500 members.
AS the amendments to the constitu-
ton will appear in the current issue of
the official paper. we refer you to the
paper for further information concern
ing the various amendments
Your committee would call your at
tention to the fact that all the sessions
of the national congress were har-
monious throughout, and also TO the
fact that in the reelection of of Su-

solidated name of Fraternal Army OF
Loyal Americans; and,
Whereas, Said Fraternal Army OF
Loyal Americans, with a membership
of 20,297. was on the 18th day of Feb
ruary, 1904, consolidated with the Roy
al Circle at a total cost of $50. 900 under
the name of Loyal Americans, and,
Changes in Constitution.
Whereas, Since last said named con-
solidation certain changes have been
made in the constitution and bylaws OF
said last named society, which changes
appear in the printed constitution and
bylaws of Feb. Is, 1904. which changes
it was claimed was not legally adopted,
and,
Whereas. The insurance department
of the state of Illinois, through the at

bill in the circuit court of Sangamon
county, in said state, among other
things challenging the validity of said
consolidation and asking the court to
perpetually enjOin said consolidated
societies, or any of the constituent so
cieties of which it is composed, from
carrying on any business whatever;
and,
Whereas. To meet certain objec-
tions of said state officers, the consti-
tuition and bylaws of said Loyal Ameri-
cans was changed and amended as
shown in the said printed copy thereof,
dated Feb. Is, 1904; and,

toned the authority of the executive
council of said Loyal Americans to

We would also call your attention TO
the fact that throughout the sessions
of the national congress, not one of the

business was wholly transacted by the

The complete emptiness of the stom-

amount Of emaciation, slesplessness
and general weakness so often met

food taken just before retiring adds
more tissue than is destroyed, and in

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
A CURE FOR ALL.
Not a Patent Cure-All, Nor a Mod

tional Cure For Dyspepsia.

he need look no further
In the face of these absurd claims it
is refreshing to note that the propri-
etors of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have carefully refrained from making
undue claims or false representations
regarding the merits of this most ex-
-cellent remedy for dyspepsia and stom-
ach troubles. They make but one
claim for it. and that is. that for indi-
gestion and various stomach troubles

ANEASY WAY
To Keep Well.


It is easy. to keep well if we would
only observe each DAY a few simple
rules Of health.
The all important thing IS TO keep
the stomach right and to do this it is
not necessary TO diet or 20 follow a
set rule or bill of fare. Such pamper-
ing simply makes a capricious appe-
lite and a feeling that certain favorite
articles of food must be avoided.
Professor Wiechold gives pretty good
advice on this subject. He says: Il
am IS years old and have never had a
serious illness and at the same time
my life has been largely an indoor
one, but 1 early discovered that the
way TO keep healthy was to keep a
healthy stomach. not by eating bran
crackers or dieting of any sort; on the
contrary l always eat what my APP
petite Graves, but daily for the past
eight years I have made it a practice
to take one or two Of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets after each meal and
attribute my robust health for a man
of my age to the regular daily use OF
Stuart's Tablets.
My physician first advised me to
use them because he said they were
perfectly harmless and were not a
secret patent medicine, but contained
only the natural digestives. peptones
and diastase. and after using them q
few weeks 7 have never ceased to
thank him for his advice.
Il honestly believe the habit of TAX
ing Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after
meals is the real health habit, be-
cause their use brings health TO the
sick and ailing and preserves health TO
the we'll and strong.
Men and women past fifty years OF
age need a safe digestive after meals
