the principles of State regula

hold that on account OF the

ment, the suffrage, every ad
vantage should be given the
cause Of temperance consls-
tent with the rights of self
government. While the sale,
and manufacture of liquor is
allowed now in incorporated
towns, it iJ the privilege of
the governing bodies OF both
counties and towns to refuse
to issue license. We advocate
the extention Of the same
principle OF police power so
that, where an Incorporated
town, through the sale of liz
quOr, becomes a nuisance to
neighboring counties, sue h
sale shall be prohibited by
legislative action.

~ ATARRH of the stomach is usually
called duSnancia

OF the SIODaCn Is usually
X called dyspepsia.
The stomach is lined with mu-
cous membrane the same as the nose or
throat.
This mucous membrane is liable to
catarrh the same as the mucous men,
brane of the nose or throat
The cause of catarrh of the stomach
is usually different than the cause of
nasal or throat catarrh.
AS is well known, the nose and throat
are more generally exposed TO the in
huence of the atmosphere.
Sudden changes of temperature pro-
duce congestion, ordinarily called "a
cold.''
With the stomach it Is different. It Is
not exposed to the air directly.
1t is exposed, however, to improper
food and drink, irregularities as to the
time of eating, or the eating OF full
meals when one is tired.
This all leads to fermentation Of food
and the formation of gas, which irri-
tates the stomach.
Such arrangements soon lead TO ca
tarrh of the stomach, generally called
dyspepsia"
Something is generally taken to faciI-
itate digestion.
Such treatment is sure to lead to dis
appointment.
The first thing that must be done is to
remove the catarrh.
So long as the catarrh remains. so
long will the Indigestion and dyspepsia
remain.
