YOU CAN INTEREST HIM.
Arv Man over Fifty,

You can interest any man over fifty
years of age in anything that Will
make him feel better, because while he
may not as yet have any positive or
ganic disease, he no longer feels the
buoyancy and vigor of twenty-five,
nor freedom from aches and pains he
enjoyed in earlier years, and he very
naturally examines with interest any
propBition looking to the improve
ment and preservation Of his health.
He will notice among otfser things
that the stomach of fifty is very Diff
ferent one from the stomach he pos
sessed at twenty-five. Tha. greatest
care must be exercised as to what is
eaten and how much of it, and even
with the best of care, there will be in
creasing digestive weakness with ad-
vanoing years.
A proposition to perfect or improve
the digestion ard assimilation of food
Is one which interests not only every
man Of fifty, but every maa, woman
and child Of any age, because the whole
secret of good health, good blood,
strong nerves, is to have g. stomach
which will promptly and thoroly d.
gest wholesome food because blood,
nerves, brain tissue and every other
constituent of the body are entirely the
product of digestion, and no medicine
or "health" food can possibly create
pure blood or restore shaky nerves,
when a weak stomach is replenishing
the daily wear and tear Of the body
from a mass Of fermenting hslf-digest-
ed food.
No, the stomach itself wants help,
and in no roundabout way, either; it
wants direct, unmistakeable assistance,
such as is given by one or two Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
These tablets cure stomach trouble
because their use gives the stomach a
chance to rest and recuperate; one of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contains
digestive elments sufficient to digest
5000 grains of ordinary food such as
bread, meat, eggs, etc.
The plan Of dieting Is simply an
other name for starvation, ard the use
of prepared foods and new tangled
breakfast foods simply makes matters
worse as any dyspeptic who has tried
them knows.
AS DR.. Bennett says, the only reason
can imagine why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are not universally used by
everybody who Is troubled ir. any way
with poor digestion is because many
people seem to think that because a
medicine is advertised or is sold in
drug stores or is protected t'y a trade
mark, must be humbug, whereas as
a matter Of truth, any druggists who
is observant knows that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets have cured more people
OF indigestion, heart burn, heart trou-
bic, nervous prostratlvn and run down
condition generally than all the patent
medicines and doctors prescriptions
for stomach trouble, combined.

EGGS ARE SCARCE.
Absence Of Both Storage and Fresh
Euus Sends Price Up.

Eggs reached % and &c cents Satur-
day, the highest prices of the winter.
and unless a moderation in tempera-
ture results soon it is likely there will
be a few, if any, eggs in market at any
price. There is an absence at present
of either cold storage or fresh eggs.
this being the season when the storage
eggs are at their lowest ebb. Packers
usually look for warmer weather TO set
in the latter part Of Janutry, and for
that reason the supply is not intended
to last much longer than February l.
The hens began laying more freely a
week or so ago, when a slight moder-
ton in temperature resulted after the
last severe cold spell, but this last cold
snap has put the biddies on their dig
nifty again, and there is a promise OF
but very few fresh eggs until warmer
weather sets in.
Today eggs sold as high as % cents
in some grocery stores of the city,
while others did not have an egg for
SALE The price fluctuated somewhat
and % and 26 cents were asked in
other stores.

some Modern RuIkheads.

It was recently discovered that the
bulkheads In some of England's
modern warships are useless to resist
sea water pressure. By order of
the admiral Of the channel feet the
steel walls of all the spirit rooms
were shored up and water was pump
ed in. Long before the compart-
ments in several of the ships were
full the water tight doors and walls
began to give and buckled several
inches. Had the rooms been filed
with water, as they might have been
in the event of collision, and had
there been no shores the walls would
inevitably have burst and the other
bulkheads gone in turn, with disas-
trous results.

THE vast strides being made in
development of the Yoakum rail
road interests in Texas show that
before very long one of the most
important factors in the railroad
situation in this state will be the
Yoakum properties-or the Frisco.
With its new acquisitions in East
Texas, and the rapidly building
connection between Brownsville
and Galveston, it IS evident that
the entire Texas coast will soon be
included in this system. Its thou
sands of miles reaching from North
to South give the Frisco control
of vast territory, and the con-
struction of the extension from
Brownsville into Mexico will make
it one CT the leading international
lines, which, by reason of the
short haul, will make it powerful
factor in the constantly growing
traffic between the two nations.
B. F. Yoakum is fast becoming
one of the most important figures
in railroad circles IN Texas and
he Will soon be equally as great in
Mexico.

YOAKUM's SYSTEM.
Things Outlined by Galveston News a
Year Ago are Rapidly Coming
to Pass.

a dispatch from AuSllu " Liz
Galveston News Says at the time
of the Yoakum-Frisco-Texas feed.
lers line conference in this city
nearly a month ago it was stated
from here that the Beaumont, Sour
Lake & Western had been acquired
by the Yoakum syndicate, and that
one purpose of the meeting was
to ratify the purchase together with
that of the Trinity & Brazos Val
| ley and Orange & Northwestern.
Some one connected with the Sour
Lake road saw fit to give an
authoritative denial to the deal,
yet it was only in this week
papers that a high official of the
road has made all official announce
ment of the sale to Mr.. Yoakum.
The statement in these dispatches
at that time mad ample authority
and the fact just chronicled from
Beaumont of the confirmation of
the sale proves the correctness of
the item.
About one year ago these dis
patches contained a detailed &C
count of the intentions of the
Yoakum syndicate in the South
western country, and such were of
much magnitude that most readers
thought it newspaper PROPOSE
ton, and some papers went so
far as to deny it. The story was
that in four sections Mr.. Yoakum
would extend from Fort Worth to
the City of Mexico. All has been
confirmed by the statement in yes
terday's News to the effect that the
St. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico
would be extended to Tampico and
thence to the City of Mexico. The
information given a year ago was
