WRONG IDEA.


 Don't get the wrong idea into your head that starvation is good for Dys- pepsia.
 It's not.
 Those who have not studied the sub ject very deeply, or with trained scien- tiic minds might think so.
 But facts prove otherwise.
 All specialists in stomach and diges- tive disorders know, that 1t is best for dyspepsia to be we'll fed.
 Why. dyspepsia is really starvation disease!
 Your food doesn't feed you.
 By starvation, you may give your bowels and kidneys less to do, but that does not cure your digestive trouble simply makes you weaker and sicker: less likely to be permanently cured than ever.
 No, the only right way to permanent ly cure yourself of any form Of dys- pepsia or ndigestive troupde;; .hs; Is So to eat eat best agrees with you, and help your di- Sestion to work with Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets. liahIe method of treatment, which will never fail to cure the most obstinate cases if persevered in.

 They gently force the flow of fresh digestive juices.

They therefore quickly relieve all the symptoms of indigestion. and coax tho glands to take a proper pleasure in do- Ing their proper work. They coax you back to health.

FAVOR WOMEN POsTMAsTERs Congressman Gillett Finds Them Very
 Successful.

Springfield. Mass. special to New York
 Springfield, Mass, Dec. a4.-rhe ire. auent appointment of woman postmas- ters by Congressman Frederick H. Gill; lett Is not relished by the spoiis ele- ment of Second District Republican politicians, who see in the feminine of fice-hoiders no source of added strength to the party machine.
 Not only did the women contingent utterly neglect to contribute to the re- cent campaign, but word was passed round by Mir. Gillett himself. 1t is gem erally understood, that the women post master were in no way to be levied upon.
 Congressman Giliett says that the women postmasters in his district have never been complaint of serious na- l ture against woman postmaster ap- pointed by him. An energetic, capable woman has distinct advantages over a slipshod man; in the opinion of Con-
 One of the most important postofiices l in charge of a woman in MT. Gillett's district is Amherst. which handles a heavy mail daily for Amherst College and the states Agricultural College. Mrs Thomas R. Hill. the postmaster. succeeded her husbad. whom she had assisted for many years. She conduct ed the office so efficiently after his | death that petition was forwarded to | MT. Giiiett asking him to make the ap- pointment permanent. Mrs. Marie s. White. of South Had ley. owes her appointment to circum- stances similar to those which made Mrs. Hill postmaster at Amherst. She 1 succeeded her husband, the late Thom- as White. three months ago.
 The Three Rivers office was not con- ducted satisfactorily either to the pa irons or the postoffice department. and when the postmaster was removed for cause last May Miss Susan Twiss was | appointed postmaster and. with her ap- disappeared.
 In Franklin county Mir. Giliett has appointed four women postmasters-- Miss Luna D. gurnham at Leverett Wood at Northfeid Farms, Caroline F. | Fields at East Leverett and Mrs. Ella M. Ward at Millers Falls.
 At Greenwich, in Hampshire county Mrs. Lilla M. Bishop succeeded last l Mrs. Myra Boynton, of Pelham. has been appointed to succeed her husband who was postmaster for thirty years prior to his death. Emma Lanphear county, and the important office at East | Brookfeld, in Worcester county, Is in charge of Belle A Haywood.
 MT. Gillett's appointments while not
 the part of politicians, have given sat isfaction to his constituents in the towns affected. MT: Gillett who was first elected to Congress in 1892. and has been returned by an increased ma jority at every election, Is one of the
 most eligible bachelors In Massachu-
 setts. He is dean of the Massachusetts delegation, Chairman of the Committed on Civil Service Reform and a member of the Appropriations Committee. He dresses faultlessly, is an expert golfer and an enthusiastic automobilist. He
 has law offices in this city with Walter s. Robinson, son of the late Governor | George D. Robinson.

UNFAIR TO JUDGE PARKER.
He Should Not He Charged With the
 Responsibility of Defeat.

Utica Press (lnd.).
 It is purely gratuitous, discourteous and unkind. after it Is all over, to find fault and lay blame on Judge Parker. He did the best he could with what he had to do with and certainly he gave up an agreeable position, whose duties hope. He gave up months of his time to the cause and he should be thanked rather than pounded.
 The only criticisms that can be fairly brought against Judge Parker as a candidate are about matters which the delegates knew and understood before he was selected. All his life he hal been a judge and was of the Judicial expression. That differs from the pop ular. persuasive. spellbinding oratory or diction, Having been a judge all his life he did not regard 1t as compati- ble with the dignity of his office to mix up in partisan politics or go junketIng around the country making speeches. Therefore he was comparatively an un- known man.
 All these facts were as obvious be- fore as after the St. Louis Convention. It does not follow that all the circum stances taken into account, anybody else would have done any better. There Democratic party-Bryanites and anti Bryanites. If Bryan man had been nominated he would have been beaten by bigger popular vote than Judge = people were In no temper to take up with free silver or any socialisttc folderol.
 Olney or any other man of his stamp would have been openly and earnestly opposed by the Bryanites and against him they would have carried a big stick and would not have spoken softly. The St. Louis Convention was not such as to attract general indorsement or sup port. In fact the difference between the Democratic and Republican plat forms was about the difference between tweedledum and tweedledee.
 Entering very largely into the result was the fact that MT. Roosevelt was the foreordained and predestined can didate of the Republicans and that there was on election day no other American more thoroughly popular than he. Whenever his opponents at tackled his personality, they made votes for him. There Is no sense or reason In trying to charge Judge Parker with the responsibility of defeat, for under the CircumSIancea 1t Mas ineYitahle.

Common Sense Talk.

Boston Post.
 The Republican Club of the City of New York now comes forward with a spur to the laggards In Congress who hesitate to cut down the representa- tion of those Southern States which prescribe educational qualifications for voters. They say that there was a plank in the Republican platform prom ising to do this, and they want imme- diate action.
 The New York Republicans point out exactly where the cut is to be made. From eleven of the Southern States nineteen members of Congress are to be taken. This reduction Is based upon the number of illiterates, mainly col ored persons of voting age, who cannot read and write, and, therefore, are dis franchiesed. The demand Is made prac- tically along the lines of the bill in- troduced early in the present session,
 Will this scheme ever be carried out? No, indeed. If 1t were to be applied to the South, 1t would have to be applied equally at the North; and that never would do.
 Right here in Massachusetts our suffrage laws disfranchise for illiteracy as many as are excluded from the polls as as many again as in Arkansas, twice as many as in Florida. and almost as many as in Louisiana and North Saro- lima.
 If it is wicked down there. 1t is wicked up here. And unless Republi- can Congress is ready to wipe out one or two Massachusetts Congressmen, 1t will not venture to rob the South of nineteen"
