Starved to Death.

Our text today is the story Of the miser who
taught his to live on straw. Of which he gave
him smaller portion every day.
Just as the miser had got him so trained as to
eat straw day-the poor died.
He is an who starves himself to death-as
thousands doing, misled by foolish teachers
because their stomachs have become too weak,
through neglect disease, to do the work which
nature has provided for their stomachs to do

Why, no. Mend It!

The only way to mend it is to take Stuart's Dys.
pepsia Tablets.
This has been practically and scientifically dem.
onstrated by the many thousands whom Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets have positively cured, after
every other treatment of medicine mineral waters
pills and slow, suicidal starvation had failed
These methods are all Observation-Disclosures

stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are scientihe-there-

Having cured so many thousands OF whom
doubtless have suffered more than you do-do we
claim too much when we say that Stuart's Dys-
pepaia Tablets will surely do good to youl
Surely not.
Especially when make 1t plain that no prom.
ise is made to cure more than disease-Dys-
pepsia.

for Just this one disease.
They are scientific combination Of Ingredients
which search Gu. the weak spots In all the diges-
tive organs and make them strong and well.
They have an immediate digestive action ON un-
digested food and thus, while curing weak organs.
they at the same time help them to do their work.
They thus stand for all that IL good In the med

CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA.
An English Newspapers Comment
Upon Moscovite Autocracv

A cablegram from London says: The Daily
Telegraph, commenting on the dangerous
condition of affairs in Russia, says: ma
poleOn said with memorable sight that the
old regime in France received it's deathblow
from Frederick the Great at the battle OF
Rossbach. Muscovite .autocracy will prove
sooner or later to have received its mortal
wound upon the fields of Manchuria, and
renaissance of the Asiatic people will re-
suit by the obliaue and strange processes
OF fate. either in placing a coping stone
upon the Pacific structure of European
freedom or in precipating a CONFUSION
which will affect governments, excite peo-
pies of all neighborng countries and shake
the continent to its center.
History, classic and modern teaches no
clearer lesson than this-that disasters in
foreign policy have been the surest causes
of overthrow of political systems

way should be on the sea level, and that
nearly all officials of this government whp
have made the canal a study agree with
him.
81 think the present law gives the cana
commission authority to go on and con-
struct a tidewater canal if it is thought ad-
visabIe to do so and that the commission
will take steps to change the plans without
action by Congress- SAID Senator Kit
tredge. eff not I will ask that Congress
give such authority at once and 1 will use
my best efforts to bring about such a
change of plans.
'"The only thing that would deter me
from demanding that the canal be con-
structed on the sea level would be report
from .he engineers in charge that such a
canal is impossible. 1 know that whire
there are engineering difficulties 3 sea level
canal is feasible. / am sure Mr.. Wallace 8

man who has suddenly appeared

The preacher IL known as Elder
Kaufman. just who he IL. and where
he halls from. none Of the sect seem
to know, or, knowing. win not disclose.
The announcement that Kaufman
was to occupy the pulpit Sunday even
ing was sufficient to fill the little edi-
fee at Wellersville. IL was Just at sun
down when Kaufman went into a
trance, and while in this state, lying
on bench, he began sermon in Ger
man.
After he had preached In that posi-
ton a little while he was helped to his
feet and continued. Occasionally he
would intersperse a prayer, and then
the sermon would continue.
Those who understand him said that
he began with the first Of the Bible,
preached about Adam and Eve and
other early characters and gradually
went through the Holy Book, The
time he preached was estimated at
two hours and half. He stopped
finally from sheer exhaustion, and was
assisted to recumbent position.
Kaufman is accompanied by com.
paniou, who looks after him and his
wants while he is asleep aud preach.

DOOM or GREAT SALT LAKE.
Scientists say :, win Dry Up Within
Hair a Century.


Hair a Century.
Statistics indicate that Great Salt
lake, the Dead sea of America. is
doomed-that it is gradually drying
up. The opinion now almost UNIVERSAL
ly prevails among scientists that this
mysterious body of water, located at
an altitude of 4,210 feet above the sea
level and 1000 miles inland, and
which has but single rival, the Dead
sea of Palestine, is certain within the
course Of half century to disappear
from the map. Some scientists, who
have made a careful study of the fiuc-
tuations of the lake for the past sever
al years. even declare that it will be
dried up within a quarter of a CEN
fury.
Sixteen years ago, in 1886, the area
of the lakes surface was estimated at
about 2,700 square miles. Taking
twenty feet as the average depth at
that time, one may estimate $685.
1873, 500 900 cubic feet as the contents
of the lake. To-day, according to re.
cent surveys. the lake has an area of
about 2,125 square miles. Multiplying
this number by liz, the number OF
feet in depth of the water that has dis
appeared and not been replaced, gives
669, rs, 400, 900 cubic feet as the guam
tity of water less than what the lake
had sixteen years ago.
Observers of the lake have assigned
three causes for the shrinkage of its
water. They are evaporation, irriga-
ton and subterranean outlet that
some suppose to exist. There are ar.
dent advocates of each OF these theor'
les.
