THEY ACTUALLY
DO THE WORK
Food Eaten is Worthless Unless DE
gested - Some Stomachs Must
Have Help.

Food taken into the stomach which.
from the nature of the food or the con-
dition of the stomach, is not dlgested,
is worse than no food at all. This is
true statement as far as it goes, and
great many dysDeptics 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 1t 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 a man to starve
himself to relieve his stomach. The
sensible business man employs help
and goes forward with his business.
Likewise the sensible dysDeptic will
employ help for his stomach and give
his body proper nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned to them. They
relieve weak and overburdened stom-
achs of a 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 the grind and
carry on the work just the same as a
good, strong, healthy stomach would
Go =.
On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural in their
action and effects. They do not cause
any unnatural or violent disturbance in
the stomach or DOWelS. Iney lhGm-
selves digest the food and supply the
system with all the nourishment con-
tanned N THAT is eaten and carry out
Natures plans for the sustenance and
maintenance of the body.
How much more sensible is this
method than thai employed by many
sufferers from weak stomachs. By this
means the body and brain get all the
good, nutritious food they need and
the man is properly nourished and
equipped to carry on his work and per-
form his duties. He could not possibly
be in proper working condition by
starving himself or employing some
new tangled, insufficient food that does
not contain enough nutriment for a
year-old baby A strong man doing
strong work must be properly fed, and
this applies to the brain as well as the
BODY.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by 1eliev-
ing the stomach of its work, enable it
to recuperate and regain its normal
health and strength. Nature repairs
the worn and wasted tissues just as she
heals and knits the bone of a broken
limb which is of course not used dur
ing the process of repair.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at 80 cents a box
and they are the one article that the
druggist does not try to sell something
in the place of that's Just as good. -
Their unqualified merit and success and
the universal demand for them has
placed them within the reach of every

BIG RUSH Is OVER.
Santa Fe Now Able to Keep Ahead of
Blockades

Hutchinson, Kan. Jan. 18.-There has
been big decrease of freight traffic
over the Santa F'e through here within
the past few weeks. Though the traffic
even now is considered as fairly good,
still in comparison with the unprece-
denied rush of the months past, it
looks exceedingly quiet. Blockades in
the local yards no longer exist to any
extent and if any congestion does occur
it is only a few hours until it is
Strengthened out.
Newton, Kan, Jan. 1S.-Business in
engine service is little slack at pres
ent, as the heavy movements of coal for
the west is letting up and the move
ment of California fruits for eastern
markets is coming slow. The prospects
for a rush when the NOV ement begins
in earnest are good. as reports state
the fruit shipments this season will ex-
coed those of any previous year. Eight
engine crews, with a surplus of fire
men were marked up on the extra
board here this morning, which owing
to the heavy business the past three
months is an unusual occurrence.

NO SHOPS FOR DENVER.
B. L. WincheH Denies Some Current
Rock Island Rumors.

While in Denver a few days ago, Vice
President B. L. Winchell, of the Rock
Island, said to a Denver reporter:
You can say the Rock Island is not
going to build shops here. 1t is also
untrue that there will be an extension
of the Rock Island from Limon Station
to Denver
Mr.. Winchell's disclaimer of the truth
of statements that the Rock Island
would build a line to Denver from Lii
mon Station is called out by a revival
of the rumor that there is a disagree
ment between the Union Pacific and
the Rock Island regarding the trackage
rights between here and Limon Sta
ton, the terminus of the Rock Island
track in eastern Colorado.
Mr.. WinchelIs denial that the Rock
Island would build shops here was call
ed forth by the oft-repeated rumor that
the road is casting about for a location
for western shops. The fact that there
are no shops on the system west of the
Missouri river, suitable for doing the
work on engines and cars, has fre-
quently caused railroad men to predict
that Denver would be selected as the
site for extensive improvements of that
nature.
Mr. WincheH is an official in the
Frisco system, which is under the same
organization as the Rock Island. lie
was met at the depot by a. H. Moftet,
general agent of the Rock Island; A.
8. Schmidt, city passenger and ticket
agent of the same road, and q. W.
Martin, general western agent of the
Frisco system. H. Van Mater of the
Colorado & Southern, assistant to Pres
ident Trumbull, and a large number of
other railway men of Denver called on
Mr. and Mrs. Wincheu at the Brown
Palace hotel last night.

a snag. however, and didn't do bust

that effectively killed the book business

their presence in and around the shops
from that time on must cease. The
grounds for sus2ecting them of being

in our countries for centuries and is an
old plant, but the name of Alfalfa
was not known and is new to US. But
what is worse, notwithstanding the

SAWED BUILDING IN TWO.
Hutchinson Freight Depot Being
Moved Across Track.

Hutchinson, Jan. 1S.-Forty members
of the bridge and building gang of the
Santa F'e are at work preparatory TO
moving the freight depot from it's pres
ent location across the south house
track to a position about so feet south
of its old location. The stone piers
have already been placed and the
worknen are now getting the heavy
timbers placed for making the move.
The depot will be sawed into two
pieces and the Office moved first and
then the freight room proper. A gang
of Is linemen have just completed max
ing alterations in the wires which were
formerly carried under the north caves
of the depot. A large cable has been
strung and this carries all the wires
from the new pole erected just east of
the depot. The new system is being
installed at all the depots over the
road and prevents the grounding of the
wires. When the depot is moved it
will be but the work of an instant to
connect the cable with its burden of
wires with the instruments.
