Prosecutor Speer has decided not to
make any fuss over the refusal of the
Board Of Freeholders to provide money
for the appointment of seven additional
county detectives. Mr.. Speer feels the
same as the Freeholders that he can get
along with his present staff and that the
appointment of the extra men would be
a needless expenditure of money. The
only persons who are finding fault with
the Freeholdersfor their action are the
Republican workers who expected to
catch on.
Twelve new members are to be added
when the new fiscal year begins. The
Increase has been provided for in the tax
budget announced yesterday. Here is a
fine chance to make Republican votes
and maybe the opportunity will not be
taken advantage of. For every appoint
fsent to be made there will be dozen or
two promises given and the disappointed
ones will not be in a position to do any
harm, as the election will have been over.
The same condition will prevail in re-
gard to the appointment of new fremen,
money being provided for the establish
ment Of two new companies. Talk about

tion doesn't seem to think of anything

NOBODY Is EXEMPT
\ New Preparation Which Everyone
Will Need Sooner or Later.

Almost everybody's digestion is dis
ordered more or less, and the COM
monest thing they do for it is to
take some one of the many so-called
blood purifiers, which, in many cases,
are merely strong cathartics. Such
things are not needed. If the organs
are in a clogged condition, they need
only little help until they will right
themselves. Cathartics irritate the
sensitive Innings of the stomach and
bowels and often do more harm than
good.
Purging is not what is needed
The thing to do is to put the food
in condition to be readily digeSted and
assimilated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets do this perfectly. They partly
digest what is eaten and give the
stomach just the help it needs. They
stimulate the secretion and eXcretiOn
of the digestive fluids and relieve
the congested condition of the glands
digestive system in condition to do
it's work When that is done you need
take no more tablets, unless you eat
what does not agree with you-give
them needed help and you will have
no trouble.

will cure every time. Not only cure
the disease, but cure the cause. Goes
about it in a perfectly sensible and
