THEY ACTUALLY
DO THE WORK.
Food Eaten Is Worthless Unless Di-
scsted-Some stomachs Must
Have Helm.

Food taken into the stomach which, from
the nature OF the food or the condition of
the stomach. is not digested. is worse than
no food at all. This is a true statement as
far as IL goes and a 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. 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 staTve himself TO relieve his stom-
ach. The sensible business man employs
i. help and goes forward with his business
Likewise the sensible dyspeptic will employ
help for his stomach and give his body
proper nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually do
the work assigned 10 them. They relieve
weak and overburdened stomachS of great
portion of digestive action Their compon-
ent parts are identical with those of the
digestive fluids and secretions of the stom-
aeh and they simply take up the grind and
carry on the work just the same as a
good. strong. healthy stomach would do it,
on this account Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets are perfectly natural in their action
and effects They do not cause any unnat-
ural or violent disturbance in the stomach
or bowels. They themselves digest the food
and supply the system with all the nourish-
ment contained in what is eaten and carry
out Natures plan for the sustenance 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 body
and brain get all the good nutritious food
they need and the man is properly nourish-
ed and equipped 10 carry on his work and
perform his duties. He could not possibly
be in proper working condition by starving
himself employing some new tangled
insufficient food, that does not contain
enough nutriment for year-Old baby. A
strong man. doing strong work must he
properly fed and this applies 10 the brain
well as the body.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets by relieving
the stomach OF its work. enable il To recup-
crate and regain its normal health and
strength. Nature repairs the worn and
wasted tissues just she heals and knits
course not used during the process OF re-
pair
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale
by all druggists at 81 cents "A box and they
are the article that the druggist does not
try TO sell something In the place OF that's
Just good" Their unqualified merit
and success and the universal demand for
them has placed them within tae reach

ARBITRATION TO SETTLE
TROUBLE IN BALKANS
United States May Be Asked to-
Act as Arbitrator In the
Dispute. 4
GARIBALDI RAISING MEN

ROME, Feb. N.-The situation in the
Balkans, with which Russia, Italy and
Austria so closely connected, although
1t has apparently improved somewhat dur
ing the last few days, still occasions con-
siderable anxiety. 1t is no longer a secret
that Boris Sarafoff. the Macedonian leader,
came to Italy with the principal object OF
deciding on a course Of action with Ricciot-
ii Garibaldi, who heretofore has not APP
proved of an isolated movement on the part
Of the Macedonians
In interview the two leaders agreed
upon plan which will result in general
rising in the Balkans. should necessity
arise. With this object a meeting OF all the
Balkan leaders has been Professionally ar
ranged to take place in Venice about the
end OF March. The possibility OF arbitration
was also discussed by Sarafoff and Carl
baldi. The latter proposed to sound the
United States as to whether or not that
country would be willing TO act in the ca
pacity Of arbitrator, he regarded IT as tho
government best fitted to do So it having
no direct or indirect interest in the affair,
while its fairness has been already estab-
lished.
Should arbitration or the other suggested
arrangements for a peaceful settlement OF
the threatened trouble fail, a general revo-
already secretly preparing a body OF volun-
teers, each member of which will be-
equipped with arms, 1900 rounds OF cart
ridges and food for a month. Garibaldi
was offered the general direction OF the
Macedonian movement, but refused on the
ground that he thought il better TO leave
the leadership TO some man directly inter-
ested in Macedonia, as this would give
him (GaribaldD a freer hand.
The financing of the movement being the
most difficult part, Garibaldi is asking all
his friends in Italy and abroad 10 con-
tribute funds TO the case.
Confidential and official information from
Austria points TO the fact that that gov
errment is making extensive preparations
TO check any movements on its southeast
ern frontiers, where achievements amount
ing TO thirty thousand men have been CEN
tered. The proPrietors Of theaters and other
large buildings in that part Of the country
have been warned that their premises may
be seized for military purposes.
1t is now known that negotiations are go
ing on between Russia and Italy with re-
gard to the Balkans. Signor Tittoni. the
Italian foreign minister alluded TO these
exchanges in the Chamber OF Deputies on
Feb y, when he protested against the anti
Russian manifestations In Italy. and said
they would endanger the relations of italy
and Russia just when the two governments
were exchanging views on very vital in
terests."
