QUIT DoCTORING THE
ST O M AC

Persons suffering from Dyspepsia,
Indigestion, Malnutrition and the gen.
eral weakness and depression that &C
company it only aggravate and pro-
long the trouble when they resort to
stimulants, condensed foods and artif-
cial digestives as substitutes for the
natural digestive processes. Neither
will doping the stomach with medicine
reach the seat of the trouble.
Three steps are absolutely necessary
to obtain nourishEent after food is
taken into the stomach. a. 1t must
be digestet. (2) 1t must be assimi.
lated. 81 1t must be distributed to
every part of the body needing nour-
ishment. Hence if the food be di-
gested artificially either before or
after being ken into the stomach it
can do no good until appropriated and
distributed.
What is the matter? The cause OF
the whole trouble l.. the thickening OF
the blood and clogging of the circula
ton by uric acid and other poisonous
waste products accumulated in the
blood, This clogs the circulation in
the digestive glands and prevents the
secretion of the natural digestive
fluids. 1t prevents the assimilation of
nourishm ent because the blood is al.
ready overloaded with waste materi-
ais. And the thickened blood and OBJ,
structed circulation prevents proper
distribution.
What is the remedy? Simply dis.
solve and clear from the blood the
Uric acid poisons that cause the trou.
BILE. DR. E. G. Scott originated his
great remedy, E-LIMI-NO, for this ex.
press purpose. ELIMINO cleans the
blood and restores the circulation
When this is done the normal digestive
fluids are cgain secreted and natural
digestive processes prevail. ELIMINC
contains no alcohol or other stimulant
but cures disease by removing the
cause Weakness and depression
soon give place to strength and buoy
ancy. Druggists sell ELIMINO at 81
for large bottle. Write DR.. Scott today
describing your casa and you will re
ceive his booklet free, and the name
of druggist who will sell you the
first bottle on guarantee of satisfac

Railway Manager Pays Two Fines for
Violating Smoke Law.

General Manager Lindley L. Sinclair OF
the Washington Electric Power Company
was In the Police Court this morning to
answer charge against his company OF
violating the smoke law OF the city at the
company's plant, 14th and b streets north
west. Smoke Inspector Wollard, while on
the witpess stand, stated that he had OBJ
served the stacks for certain periods and
that black smoke issued from them for
periods varying in length from half min
ute to two minutes. Two specific viola
tions were charged.
Counsel for the power company appeared
before the court and asked a light SEN
tence. He stated that the smoke inspector
had had the plant under Observable. for
three months and this is the first vio,ation
in all that time.
well, he doesn't observe 1t after
o'clock. when I observe it," interrupted
Judge Kimball.
I'VE have been on our good behavior for
three months and we ask your honor to re-
member that"
You must learn, however, that you cans
not violate the smoke law"
But we can't find any one to teach us,
was the reply. I'VE have spent 100000 in
good money in an endeavor to learn, but
the sum seems insufficient"
Judge Kimball fined General Manager
Sinclair $40 for each of two offenses and
the amounts were paid.

HEARING CONTINUED.
Trial of John L. o'Brien on Charge of
Embezzlement

Justice Wright, in Criminal Court No. 1
today, continued until Monday next hear
ing on the motion to postpone the trial of
John Lawrence O'Brien, charged with en-
bezzlement from Frank Hume, which the
justice yesterday ntimated would be set
for April IL. Ex-senator John NJ Thurs
ton who, with Lambert & Baker, is coun-
sci for U Brlen, today appeared before JUS
tice Wright and filed an affidavit of the de-
PENDANT asking for a postponement because
OF the illness of ORrien'S wife, who will be
an important witness for the defense.
In his affidavit O'Brien states that his
wife will testify that he did not leave
Washington to fee from justice or to avoid
the courts process, but that they left be-
cause of preconceived plan to take we'd
ding trip through the west. The marriage
of the defendant took place October 81
1902, and he and his wife left Washington
the same night, and upon their arrival in
San Francisco registered at hotel by their
proper names and made no attempt at con-
cealment.
DR.. Anthony M. Ray, the attending physi-
clan to Mrs. o Brien, also filed an affidavit
in which he declares that Mrs. OBrien IS
ccnfned to her bed by illness and could not
safely be brought out of the house to at
tend as a witness at trial before June 10
next.
Assistant District Attorney Charles H.
Turner opposed any consideration of the
motion today and claimed that he had not
received the full two days notice allowed
by the law. He also desired, he said, to
confer with United States Attorney Nor
gan II. Beach with view to finding out If
an agreement could not be reached where
by the government would admit the testi-
mony which Mrs. O'Brien is said to be pre-
pared to give.
In the light of this objection Senator
Thurston agreed that the matter might go
over until Monday. at which time. 1t is UNI
derstood, definite date for the trial viii be
arranged.
