VERY FEW PEOPLE
Are Free From Some Form of Indi-
gestion.

Very few people are free from some
form of indigestion, but scarcely two
will have the same symptoms.
Some suffer most directly after eat
ing, bloating from gas in stomach and
bowels, others have heartburn or sour
risings, still others have palpitation Of
l4eart, headaches, sleeplessness pains in
chest and under shoulder blades, some
have extreme nervousness, as in nerv-
Gus dyspepsia.
But whatever the symptoms may be,
the cause in all cases of indigestion is
the same, that is the stomach for some
reason fails to properly and promptly
digest what is eaten.
This is the whole story of stomach
troubles in a nutshell. The stomach
must have rest and assistance and Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets give it both by
supplying those natural digestiV
which every weak stomach lacks owing
to the failure of the peptic glands in
the stomach to secrete sufficient acid
and pepsin to thoroughly digest and as
simulate the food eaten.
One grain of the active principle in
Stuart's- Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
5000 grains of meat, eggs or other
wholesome food and this claim has
been proven by actual experiment
which anyone can perform for himself
in the following manner: Cut a hard
boiled egg into very small pieces as it
would be if masticated; place the egg
and two or three of the tabIestS in a
bottle or jar containing warm water
heated to 9S degrees (the Temperature
of the body and keep it at this tenn
perature for three and one-haf hours.
at the end of which time the egg will
be as completely digested as it would
have been in the healthy stomach or a
hungry boy.
The point OF this experiment is that
what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
do to the egg in the bottle they will do
to the egg or meat in the stomach and
nothing else will rest and invigerate
the stomach SO safely and effectually
Even a little child can take Stuart's
Tablets with safety and benefit if it's
digestion is weak and the thousands of
cures accomplished by their regular
daily use are easily explained when it
is understood that they are composed
of vegetable essences. aseptic, pepsin,
diastase and Golden Seal, which mingle
with the food and digest it thoroughly
giving the overworked stomach a
chance to recuperate-
Dieting never cures Dyspepsia, neith-
er do pills and cathartic medicines.
which simply irritate and inf1are the
intestines.
When enough food is eaten and
promptly digested there will be no con-
stipatior nor in fact will there be dis
ease of any kind because good diges-
ton means good health in every organ.
The merit and success of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are world wide and
they are sold at the moderate price of
so cents for full sized package in eyery
drug store in the United States and
Canada as well as in Europe.

PHoToGRAPHING LEGISLATURE
Noteworthy Work of J. p. CoIville, a
Topeka Photographer.

The photographs of the various
members of the state legislature which
have appeared in this paper in con
nection with news articles from that
body are furnished by J. P. Colville,
the photographer of 632 Kansas
avenue.
1t is the custom of the Kansas State
Historical society to secure a group
picture of each legislative body as a
part of it's historical record and as
the result of that custom Mr. COlville
was requested to take the photogra phs
which later should be Ombined and
reduced TO form the group picture.
lative photographer for the past six
years
Each of the groups is 16 by 20
inches and are combined and reduced
from cabinet pictures. In the process
the photos of the members appearing
in the group are first made cabinet
size and then mounted on a frame six
feet by eight feet, from which the
group is reduced to the size required.
The skill and care necessary in pro-
curing proper focusing of the
camera so that all the pictures may
appear in the group sharp and clear,
especially those on the outer edge, is
requirement.
To secure a more com rehensive
idea Of the skill and the amount of
work involved a com parisOn should be
made between the six by eight feet
group on display in the window of
Delahoyde's art store and one of the
reduced pictures in Mr.. Colville's
studio. The latter are but II inches
by 20 inches vet the comparison will
show that not an iota of clearness and
of detail in the group has been lost in
the process of reduction from the six
by eight feet group.

You Can Feel

When everything seems an effort, when YOU
feel tired most of the time, when you wake up
every morning tired as when you went to
bed,-then there is something wrong.
Nature is protesting against some neglect or
some abuse.
Nature protests more often against nerve neg
lect than any other cause.
Remember, your strength is not in yot.r mus

Force tells them to.
Even your brain does not work by itself-the
substance in your brain cells must have energy to
do its work; this energy must be nerve force
the same great pOwer-of-life that controls every
organ of the body
Every form of weakness, or sickness, or dis
ease, comes from lack of Nerve Force to keep
the organs working properly.
When one speaks of "a good constitution" one
simply means a strong, healthy nerve system.
When the nerve system IS not strong and we'll
nourished, it follows inevitably that one is easily
''over-worked" -easily run down-just as Mrs.

as the tip Is received the mother Is Wis

makes the visit Is expected to see that
the directions are clearly understood.
