This may read as tho we were put

generally thought by the majority of
people that dyspepsia in Its chronic
form is incurable or practically so. But
we have long since shown that dyspep-
sia is curable nor is it such diff
cult matter as at first appears.
The trouble with dyspeptics is that
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves, or going to opposite eX-
IRENE or else deluging the already over
burdened stomach with ''bitters," after
>sSiinner pills. ETC., which invariably in
crease the difficulty even if In some
eases they do give a slight temporary
relief. Such treatment Of the stomach
simply makes matters worse. What
the stomach wants is a rest. Now,
how can the stomach become rested,
1secuperated and at the same time the
.ssody nourished and sustained.
This is a great secret and this is
ALSO the secret of the uniform success
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. rms
is comparatively new remedy, but It's
success and popularity leaves no doubt

before stated, the tablets will digest

has been made the defendahI III Z"
damage case in Richland county, North
Dakota. where he is being sued by
Frank Luck, of Wahpeton, 1of siV'
ooo damages for the alienation of Mrs.
Frank Luick's affection. Luck ana
his wife were former Franklin county
people, and moved to North DaKota
Soma wears ago, where Mrs. Luck
owned a nice farm. Mrs. Luck came
to Hampton about year ago. ana mas
| resided here since.
The announcement that Arends had
heen sued for $4,000 for the aliena-
ton of Mrs Luicks affections came
as a great surprise to Franklin county
acouaintances, who had supposed that
Mrs. Luck left of her own Will.
The petition alleges that Arends
| came to Wahpeton about year ago,
Il
and her three children to leave home
and return to Iowa with Arends, which
thew did, and that all efforts to have
them return home have been In vain.
Also that Arends has real estate to
the value of $4,000. The action is as
sisted by an attachment proceedings
against Arends' property there, so that
Arends will be obliged to go there to
resist the action.
Mr. Arends claims that Mrs. Luck
left there of her own will and that
while he was at the Luck home for
some tine last winter with NJ. G. De
Bour also of Hampton, that they made
no efror to get Mrs. Luck to leave
her husband. Arends is resident OF
