PUTTING 1T STRONG
But Doesn't 1t Look Reasonable,

This may read as though we were
putting it a little strong, because it is
generally thought by the majority of
people that Dyspepsia in it's chronic
form is incurable or practically so. But
we nave long since shown that Dyspep-
STA is durable, nor is it such a difficult
matter as at first appears.
The trouble with Dyspeptics is thai
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves, or going to opposite ex-
IRENE, or else deluging the already
overburdened stomach with "bitters,''
:'after-dinner pills." ETC., which invari-
ably increase the difficulty ven if in
some cases they do give a slight, tenn
porary relief. Such treatment of the
What the una wants is a rest
Now, how can the stomach become
rested, recuperated and at the same
time the body nourished and sustained.
This is a great secret and this is also
the secret of the uniform success of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is a
comparatively new remedy, but it's sue
cess and popularity leaves no doubt as
to it's merit.
The Tablets will digest the food any
way, regardless of condition of stom-
ach.
The sufferer from Dyspepsia, accord
ing to directions. is to eat an album
dance of good, wholesome food and use
the tablets before and after each meal,
and the result will be that the food will
be digested no matter how bad your
Dyspepsia may be, because. as before
stated, the tablets will digest the food
even if the stomach is wholly inactive.
To illustrate our meaning plainly, if
you take 1880 grains of meat, eggs or
ordinary food and place it in a tenn
p%erature of 50 degrees. and put with it
one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets it
will digest the meat or gigs almost as
perfectly Is if the meat was enclosed
within the stomach.
The stomach may be ever so weak,
yet these tablets will perform the work
of digestion and the body and brain
will be properly nourished, and at the
same time a radical, lasting cure of
Dyspepsia will be made because h
much-abused stomach will be given, to
some extent, a much needed rest. Your
druggist will tell you that of all the
many remedies advertised to cure Dys-
pepsia none of them have given so COM
plete and general satisfaction as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not
least in Importance in these hard
times is the fact that they are also the
cheapest and give the most good for
the least money.

THAT CHICAGO CASE.
American Federation of Labor Finally
Adjusts 1t.

San Francisco, Nov. 21.-The dele
gates to the American Federation of
Labor in their session today settled
the trouble between the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor and the American
Federation of Labor by voting to up
hold the decision of the executive
board of the latter organization, with
the proviso that william Schardt,
president of the Chicago Federation
and delegate to the American Fedora
ton of Labor, be seated and a stay
of execution of thirty day be allowed,
during which time President Gompers
is directed to go to Chicago and con-
fer with h leaders of the federation
there in an endeavor to adjust the dis
pute.
II no agreement can be reached the
suspension of the Chicago Federation
then will become permanent. This rul-
ing seats Delegate Schardt, but it up
holds the action of the executive couE-
Gil of the American Federation of La
Dor.
Delegate Fitzpatrick, of Chicago, one
of the leaders of the fight in the mat
ter of central body Of that city against
the American Federation, took the floor
and fatty denied the statements of
President Gompers regarding certain
fair and unfair houses.
Gompers made reply that the attack
virtually accused the leaders of selling
out to the enemy. and that in doing so
they were playing into their hands.
After much more debate of this char
acter, INDUCED in by many delegates,
the matter was put before the V
tion, which voted to support the nam
ayers of the paper.

THE LONG BALLOT AND THE
RIANKET BALLOT.

Minnesota is one of the few states
that has had the good sense to retain
the Australian ballot in it's original
form. Most of the states. through the
influence of machin politicians. have
substituted for the long ballot, which
requires the voter to express his choice
between the candidates for each office,
the blanket abomination. which permits
him to make a single cross at the top
of each party ticket and thereby vote
the whole thing straight. If he wants
to split his ticket he has to comply with
various rules, different in different
states, all of which are confusing. The
is that he is likely to lose
his vote by spelling the ballot If he
seeks to exercise any independent judg-
ment. The is not a close election any
where in any of the blanket ballot
states that this possibility of error is
not mentioned as one of the uncertain
factors in h campaign. A form of
ballot that puts a penalty on a voters
exercising his God-given judgment asto

NEARLY DEAD FROM GAS
William Elder, Employe of Santa Fe
Offices, Has Narrow Escape.

William Elder, an employe of the
Santa Fe offices, who lives with the
family of J.. Y. Porter at No. 1929 Polk
street, was found in an unconscious
condition in his room this morning,
the victim of suffocation from coal
gas.
Doctors were called as soon as his
condition was discovered and he was
finally revived. Although he has re-
covered consciousness he is still in a
weakened condition and will be unable
to return to work for several days.
When he was called to breakfast
this morning his continued, absence
from the table caused comment and
finally some one went to his room to
discover why he did not appear. He
was found to be in an unconscious
condition. The windows of his room
were tightly CLOSED and gas forming
from coal smoldering in the stove
could not escape from the room.
Mr.. Elder was an employee in the of
flee of J.. F. Mitchell, ticket auditor of
the Santa Fe. He was about SIS years
old and came to the Topeka offices
several years ago from the Southern
Kansas division. ere aH

SOCIETY MAIDS SEE CASINO.
French Girls Catch Glimpse of Pink
Tights From Nouveau Theater.

Paris, Nov. 21.-Parisian society
maidens are supposed never to see the
inside of a music hall. but to the
Colonne concerts they are above to
go; it is part of their education.
The Colonne concerts this year are
in the Nouveau theater, adjoining the
Casino de Paris. An exit from the
theater leads into the rear of the
Casino, and a distance of perhaps ten
yards has to be traversed in the
music hall.
Chaperons and anxious mothers
struggle to get between their charges
and the stage in this brief walk, but
the girls manage to run around and
actually get visions of pink tights,
pirouettin gtoes, and clouds of lace.
pirouetting toes, and clouds of lace,
heard in the salons reach their ears
during the swift retreat.

A FIREMAN Is HURT.
C. NJ. Steifet Has Both of His Feet
Crushed.

Fireman c. M. Steifet was injured in
a derailment of fast freight No. 50, west
bound, on the Rock Island, shortly at
ter midnight last night at Peabody,
Kan. Steifet was pinioned underneath
his engine which was derailed and
turned over, and both his legs and an
kles were badly crushed. He will re-
cover.
The responsibility of the accident has
not vet beer determined. The accident
occurred at the watchtower of the in
terlocking switch plant where the Rock
Island crosses the Santa Fe tracks. The
signalman apparently left his signals
omen for the Rock Island train to pro-
coed and later discovered a Santa Fe
train on the other track, and in the
the tower man threw the
mechanism of the derail appliance into
Mace and derailed the Rock Island en-
CINE and three freight cars. None of
the other trainmen besides the fireman
were injured.
