THE ROOT OF THE MATTER
He Cured Himself of Serious Stomach
Troubles, by Getting Down 10
First PrincipIeS

A man OF large affairs I'm one OF our
prominent Eastern cities by too close
attention to business, too little exer-
else and too many club dinners. finally
began to pay natures tax, levied - .hc
form of chronic stomach trouble: the
failure of his digestion brought about
nervous irriability making il impossi-
bic TO apply himself TO his daily bust
ness and finally deranging the kidneys
and heart.
In his own words he saws: II con-
suited one physician after another and
each one seemed to understand my case.
but all the same they each failed to
bring about the return of my former
digestion, appetite and vigor For two
years l went from pillar 10 post. from

nounced my daily glass or two of beer.
without any marked Improvement.
FRIENDS had often advised me to try
a wen known proprietary medicine,
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and / had
often perused the newspaper advertise
ments of the remedy but never took any
stock in advertised medicines nor could

The root of the matter is this, the

John p. Hickey Has Patented Wonderful
Hull and Will Exhibit Model on the

After twenty-five years of expert

tanned a patent on a newly designed
hull, which. If used or the great ocean

the six now consumed in making the
trip from England TO America.
The Hickey hull was used on small
twenty-five-foot. 6-horsepower gaso-
lene launch that broke the record for
five miles on Lake Michigan several
days ago, and within the next two
weeks the little model will be tried on
the Eastern branch. 1t is understood
that several officials from the Navy De-
partment and the Bureau OF Navigation
will be present to see :ha tests.
The object of the new hull. which can
be used on the largest kind of freight
and passenger steamers and sailooats, Is
to overcome the resistance Of the water
thereby saving fuel and getting more
speed from that which is used.
A Sharp Bow.
The inventor says he has accomplish

boat and increasing the outward pitch

But the Democrats are by no means

AS TO tariff revision, X is remarkable
that there JAS been scarcely a member
OF Congre:e in Washington in the last
week who tas not given his unhesitat-

There has been much confidence in
Administration circles that the Senate
would ratify the Santo Domingo treaty
without much opposition this winter.

Federal control of insurance is likely
to be an attractive subject for Congress
to discuss. In view OF the large consti-

jealousy of such a step. IL is regarded
by many as doubtful whether there will

coming session.
