The season of summer storms
is at hand. The typical storm
of the summer for all the north
country is a live, energetic propo-
sition, much electricity and lively
winds, often quite destructive and
of sufficient Importance to hedge
against so far as possible. One
thing worth doing is to have the
barbed wire fences provided with
ground wires, a wire attached to
the fence connecting it with the
damp earth. The doing of this
may prevent the loss of bunch
Iof COWS, steers or horses by light
ming. Another bing & to s6e
that the doors and windows of the
barn are kept closed du1dng a
storm, which makes the building
better able to resist the force of
the wind. If farmers generally
would equip themselves with a
thermometer and a barometer, get
weather wise as to the winds and
their directions, they could hedge
against many of the !cSses which

1t seems q little strange to see Sena-

welding the gavel of the presiding Of

silent pro tempore of the Senate, al
though the extra compensation of So
600 is cut off and he receives, like all
senators, but $4,000 a year. Mr.. Frye's
Office as president pro tempore is con-
tinuous one ard he will hold it sub
iect to the pleasure of the Senate. That
means he will hold it as long as he
lives, unless the Senate should have a

Mr.. Pitman Pulsifer of Lewiston,
clerk of the Senate Committee on Ma

for an admirable index which he pre-
pared to the four big volumes of testi-
mony taken on railway rates by the
Senate committee on interstate COM
merce. Some great man has said that
the most important feature of any i'm
rortant volume is it's index. Mr.. Pull
sifer is regarded as an expert in max
ing an index and whenever there is a
particularly difficult task of that kind
on at the Capitol everybody turns to
PuJsifer to tell how it shall be done.
The index in this case was so well done
that it is being published as separ-
ate pamphlet. which Senators and
members can keep on their desks.
When they want something from the
testimony they have only to consult
the index, call a page, and tell him

GIVE YOUR STOMACH A NICE
VACATION.
Don't Do It by Starving 1t Either-Let
Substitute Do the Work.

The old adage "All 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 tC the man himself.
If your stomach is worn out and re-
bells against being taxed beyond its
limit, the only sensible thing you can
do is to give it rest. Employ a sub
stitute for a short time and see if it
will not more than repay you in results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are 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 it well. They contain all the
essential elements that the gastric Juice
and other digestive fluids of the stom-
ach contain and actually act just the
same and do just the same work as the
natural fluids would do were the stom-
ach we'll and sound. They, therefore,
relieve the stomach, just as one work.

This vacation" idea was suggested
by the letter of a prominent lawyer in
Chicago. Read what ne says: Il was

taking of my life in bringing about the
coalition of certain great interests that
meant much to me as we'll as to my
clients 1t was not the work of days,
but of months; was working night
and day almost when at very critical
time my stomach went completely back
on me- The undue mental strain
brought it about and hurried up what
would have happened later on.
What 1 ate l had to literally force
down and that was source of misery,
as l had sour stomach much of the
time My head ached l was sluggish
and began to lose my ambition to carry
out my undertaking. 1t looked pretty
gloomy for me and confided nv 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.
Il had not taken a quarter of that
box before l found that they would do
all the work my stomach ever did; and
as rest or vacation was out of the
question for me. I determined to give
my stomach a vacation. 1 kept right

Failure

to cure indigestion is largely due to the
old theory that when the stomach be-
comes inactive it needs something to
mechanically digest its contents. and
cathartics, purgaNves, etc, are used
which give only temporary relief, because
they digest by irritating the lining of the
stomach
Modern science recognizes the fact that
il is the nerves that furnishes motive
power to digest the contents of the
stomach.
The nerves agitate and mix the food
and stimulate the secretions. When they
become weakened they lack energy. and
