GIVE YOUR STOMACH
A NICE VACATION
Don't Do It BY Starving II Either--Le ct
A Substitute Do the Work.

The old adage, "AlI work and no
play makes Jack a. dull boy" applies
Just as well to the stomach, one of the
most important organs of the human
system, as it does TO the man himself.
If your stomach is worn out and re-
bells against being taxed beyond it's
limit, the only sensible thing Won can
do is to give it a rest. Employ a sub
stitute for a. short time and see if it
will not more than repay you in re-
suits.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets arc a.
willing and most efficient substitute.
They themselves digest every bit of
food in the stomach in just the same
way that the stomach itself would.
were 1t well. They contain all the
essential elements that the gastric
Juice and other digestive fluids of the
stomach contain and actually act Just
the same and do Just the same work as
the natural fluids would do, were the
stomach well and sound They, there
FORE relieve the stomach, Just as ono
workman relieves another. and permit
it TO rest and recuperate and regain it's
normal health and strength.
This vacation" idea was suggested
by the letter of a prominent lawyer
in Chicago. Read what he says: 'I
was engaged in the most momentous
undertaking OF my life in bringing
about the coalition of certain grea /
interests that meant much to me as
well as my clients. 1t was not the
work of days. but of months; l was
working night and day almost when
at a very critical time my stomach
went completely back on me. The I'M
due mental strain brought II about
and hurried up what would have hap
pened later on.
What I ate I had to literally force
down, and that was a source of mis-
cry, as | had a sour stomach much OF
the time. My head ached, / was slug
gish and began to lose my ambition to
carry out my undertaking. 1t looked
pretty gloomy for me and | conflded
my plight to one of my clients. He
had been cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and at once went down to a
drug store and brought a box up to the
office
II had not taken quarter OF that
box before I found that they would
do all the work my stomach ever did /:
and as a rest or vacation was out of
the question for me, | determined to
give my stomach a vacation. I kept
right on taking the tablets and braced
up and went ahead with my work with
renewed vigor, ate lust so much as I
ever did and carried out that under
taking to a successful issue 1 feel
that l have Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets

my reputation, and last but not least,
my stomach"

Stating That He Never viii
Sign Treaty
Ev Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.--Homer r.
Hubert, the special messenger from
| the emperor Of Korea, is in receipt Of
a cablegram from Korea, in which the
emperor declares that the agreement
between Korea and Japan is null and
void because it was obtained by force.
He also declares that he never will
sign this agreement In it's present form
and that the disturbances which at
tended the Outrage" of November II
are likely to occur again.
Concerning the cnblcgram from tho
emperor Of Korea Mr.. Hubert said;
This is tho first genuine word that
has been received from Korea giving
the real attitude OF that government
toward the treacherous act OF the Jap
anese. FOR several weeks the emperor
was practically in confinement and
Japan gave out the false statemen,
that an amicable agreement had been
made. This Ia now proved to he un-
true. The agreement was made under
durcss and at the point of the sword
hut tho emperor has at last succeeded
| in piercing the Gordon of Japan ana
getitng information into the outer
world.
"As long as my mission to America
is no longer % secret 7 may add that
the emperor, anticipating some such
act of bad faith on the part of Japan.
tried through me to forestall 1t by lodg-
ing an appeal with President Roose-
welt. The object of my coming was
surmised and the coup In Seoul was
hastened so that It occurred on the
very day of my arrival in Washing
| ton. The emperor felt certain that if
| President Roosevelt could he made
aware of his sentiments the American
| government would hesitate and ask
| IL few questions before accepting
| Japan's statements alone The authori-
ties in Washington We're almost i'm
mediately notified that this petition
| was here, but no arrangements were
made for its return until Japan's state
mcnt was accepted and acted upon.
| The object of this cablegram is to dis
avow any acquiesenCe in the so-called
agreement and incidentally to call at
| tention to the clause of the treaty be-
tweeS Korea and America in which the
United States definitely promised to
use it's good offices in case Korea is
oppressed or wronged. The United
| States was in full treaty relations with
Korea up to the time when upon the
representations of Japan alone and ap-
parently without consulting Korea,
this government took the lead in cut
ting off direct diplomatic relations
