Routes viii be Given the County.
Information. obtained from sources
considered reliable, indicates that
Marshall county will very likely not
be granted any new rural free de-
livery routes, as had been hoped. Al
ter spending three months on the Mar
shall county routes, Special Agent
John I. Boylan left for Omaha Tues
day. While he would not discuss the
matter, it is known that his report
Will not be favorable to new routes.
The reason for this will be the i'm
possibility of the agent to SO arrange
the routes as to bring them up to the
requirements OF the department. The
great obstacle is the recent ruling
whereby the department requires that
each route must serve at least 100 pat
rons. Mr.. Boylan spent two months
driving the routes and roads of the
county, and during the past four
weeks, has been attempting to lay
them out, so that they will meet the
requirements as laid down by the de-
partment. This he has not been able

THE WAR IN
THE FAR EAST
West, North and South That Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets Are WagIns
AGAINST All Forms of Stomach Trou-
Bile Can Only End One Way.
Dyspepsia Will Be Driven Off the
Earth.

)
The great and effective work OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is no long
er confined to America They are be-
ing used now all over the world, Tor
their fame has spread turnout foreign
countries and they cure dyspepsia in
all lands and all climates just as we'll
as they do at home. In fact. surround
ings and conditions never Interfere
with the successful work of Stuart
Dyspepsia Tablets, not even the con-
ditions OF the stomach itself. They go
ahead in their own natural way re-
eardless of the stomach and digest the
food that the bad stomach can not d.
rest, and permit that organ to do Just
as it pleases, rest up. take q vacation,
get we'll or what-not. The stomach
however, always makes IL a point TO
get well when it has nothing else to do.
That's what stomachs always nave
done and will continue to do when they
have the opportunity.
A prominent Detroit physician says:
Il prescribe Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
for all cases of stomach trouble
have tried many prescriptions, inelud-
ing a number of my own, but Hhd
nothing gives such universal relief as
this remedy They are natural, harm
less and thoroughly effective in their
work and while I have natural an
tipathy to patent medicines. | do not
hesitate to prescribe and recommend
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets on all oc-
casions."
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists ct SO cents q box
They are so we'll known and their
popularity is SO great that druggist
would as soon think OF being out OF
alcohol or quinine. The above testt-
naonial of the physician is no excep-
ton. In fact, physicians are prescrib-
ing them all over the land and IL your
own doctor is real honest with you he
will tell you frankly that there Is moth
ing on earth so good for dyspepsia as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
