PUTTING 1T STRONG.
But Doesn't It Look Reasonable?

This may read as though we were put
ting it a little strong, because it is gen
orally thought by the majority of people
that Dyspepsia in its chronic form is in
cura bic or practically SO. But we have
long since shown that Dyspepsia Is cura-
bIe. nor Is it such difficult matter as
at first appears.
The trouble with Dyspeptics is that
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves. or going to the opposite eN-
irene or Else deluging the already over
burdened stomach with "bitters." after
dinner pills. etc, which invariably in
crease the difficulty even il in some cases
they do give ii slight temporary relief
Such treatment OF the stomach simply
makes matters worse What the stomach
wants IS rest. Now how can the
stomach become rested. recuperated,
and at the same time the body nourish-
ed and sustained?
This is 4 great secret. and this Is also
the secret of the uniform success Of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets This IS 4
comparatively new remedy, but its sue
cess and popularity leave no doubt as
to its merit
The Tablets viii digest the food any
way, regardless of condition of stomach.
The sufferer from Dyspepsia. according
to directions, Is to eat an abundance of
good, wholesome food, and use the
tablets before and after each meal and
the result viii be tnat the food VIII
be Gigcsted no matter how bad your
Dyspepsia may be. because. as before
stated, the tablets will digest the food
even Il the stonla ch is wholly inactive
To illustrate our meaning plainly, If
you take / 500 grains of meat. eggs, or
ordinary food and place 1t in 4 tenn
perature OF 9S degrees, and put with it
one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. it
will digest the meat or eggs almost as
perfectly as if the meat was inclosed
within the stomach.
The stomach may be ever SO weak yet
these tablets Will perform the work OF
digestion. and the body and brain VIII
be properly nourished, and at the same
time a radical, lasting cure of Dyspepsia
will be made. because the much-abused
stomach will be giyea. to some extent
a much-needed rest. Your druggist will
tell YOU that OF all the many remedies
| advertised TO cure Dyspepsia none q.
| them have given so complete and gen
erai satisfaction as Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets, and not least in Importance III
these hard times IS the fact that they
| are also the cheapest and give the most
good for the least money

TO PROPOSE COMPROMISE
Baekers Will Offer to Pass Bill With
out Feature Objectionable TO
Railroads.

A plan to defeat President Roosevelts
rate legislation program is being agi-I
tated at the Capitol

The scheme. IN brief. is 10 hold a con-
ference on Friday or Saturday, at which
a bill viii be agreed upon which will
contain some OF the Presidents sug-
gestfons without those which promise
to work harm to the railroads.
Without Any Sting.
In other words, it will be the Presi-
dents railroad rate regulation without
its teeth
The Hepburn bill, row being prepared.
will be used as the basis for the meas
ure that the conference viii adopt. great
care being taken, however, TO tone down
that instrument wherever it runs coun-
ter to the ideas of the big railroad in
terests.
Then, with this bill in their hands. the
!tepresep tatives and Senators who IA
vor it will say TO the President:
I'VE are willing to pass 1nis meas
ure at the present session, and there
will be no necessity to call an extraor-
{ binary session in the spring, summer,
or any other time
VIII Refuse COMPROMISE
Friends of the Administration say
that the President viii not listen to
| any compromise that does not contain
some real protection for the small
| shippers

ben Scrutinized by number OF the
most influential railroad men in the
country, and that they have given 1t

Woman Is Inscrutable.

AS for the woman Hannah Elias, the
central figure in the suit. so far as her
features were concerned 1t was impos-
sible TO detect what she thought of the
man who had been her stepping stone
from poverty to affiuence- She sat near
the table reserved for lawyers, facing
the witness.
AS the full light of the window in
front of her fell on her features it
showed a face not even passably good
looking Her mouth arches downward.
her upper lip protrudes with an outward
slant and her nose is as fiat as that
of a fuil-blooded negress. Her eyes are
her only redeeming feature. being full of
life and vivacity. While Plat was Civ
ing his testimony the woman sat III her
seat like Il bronze statue. and at no
time when she could help it did she meet
his gaze.
Without the CULVER OF an eyelash she
heard the story of the thousands which
the witness had lavished on her; of how,
be ginning in 1886 with $19.075. her de-
mands increased until in 1903 he gave
her SiS6. 4g9
InsatiabI were her demands. Plat

seat in the supreme court room today.
while John r. Platt, her oetogenarian
admirer, who is suing her for $685., 600
which he alleges was obtained through
extertion, sat alone in another part of
the court room.
In the spectators seats was Kato, the
faithful Japanese servant of the negress
while on either side her butler and maid
sat attending to her every want. ~

tiff. opened the second days proceedings

Platt testified he first met the Elias
woman, was the first witness called.
Seems to Forget Money.
If ever witness won the sympathy of
his hearers, old Mr.. Platt certainly won
the hearts OF those VINO crowded into
the court room. AS he led his hearers
through the story OF his life and told
of his boyhood, of his honorable man.

He told of the various amounts he had

that million thrust itself upon him. If on that very day Oct. 1. he were to begin the task of spending it he would have but 357 days in which to accomplish the end. Taking the round sum of $1,000,0O0 as basis, it was an easy matter to calculate his aver age daily disbursement. The situation did not look so utterly impossible until he held up the little sheet of paper and ruefIlly contemplated the result of that simple problem in mathematics
 It meant an average daily expendi, ture of $2,S01.12 for nearly year. and even then there would be Is cents left over. for in providing the result of his rough sum 1l division he could ac- count for but S999, ,999.s4. Then it oc- cured to him that his money would be drawing interest at the bank.
 But for each days S2.S01.12 I am getting seven times as much," he so- liloquized as he finally got into bed. That means $19,6O7.s4 a day, a clear profit of S16So6.72 That's pretty good yes, too good I wonder if the bank couldn't oblige me by not charging in- terest?"
 The figures kept adding and subtract ing themselves as he dozed of, and once during the night he dreamed that Swearengen Jones had sentenced him to eat million dollars worth of game and salad at the French restaurant.

Scott who wouldn't do it! All I have to do is to cut few purse strings, and there is but one natural conclusion. don't mind being pauper for a few hours on the 23d of next September"
 That is your plan, thenw
 'Of course. First 1 shall substan- tiate all that this will sets forth When am assured that there can be no pos sibility of mistake in the extent of this fortune and my undisputed claim I'll take steps to get rid of my grandfa- ther's million in short order" Brew ster's voice rang true now. The zest of life was coming back

 A came to Brewster. All his / \ life had been spent in won A A dering how to get enough money to pay his bills, and it had no, occurred to him that it might be as difficult to spend as to acquire wealth The thought staggered him for mo ment Then he cried triumphantly. ''l can decline to accept grandfather's mil lion"
 You cannot decline to accept what is already yours l understand that the money has been paid to you by Mir. Buskirk. You have a million dollars, Mir. Bewster. and it cannot be denied. ' You are right" agreed Montgomery dejectedly. Really. Mir Grant. this proposition is too much for me. If you aren't required to give an immediate answer l want to think it over. It sounds like dream"
 Tt is no dream, Mir. Brewster" smil- ed the lawyer You are face to face with an amazing reality. Come in to- morrow morning and see me again. Think 1t over: study it out. Remem- Der the conditions of the will and the conditions that confront you. In the meantime 1 shall write to Mir. Jones, the executor, and learn from him just what he expects you to do in order to carry out his own conception of the terms of your uncles will"
 Don't write, Mr. Grant: telegraph. And ask him to wire his reply. A year is not very long in an affair of this kind" A moment later he added: Hang these family feuds. Why couldn't Uncle James have relented a bit: He brings endless trouble on my innocent head just because of row before I was born"
 He was a strange man. As a rule, one does not carry grudges quite so far. But that is neither here nor there. His will is law in this case"
 Suppose l succeed in spending all but thousand dollars before the 23d of next September. I'd lose the seven millions and be the next thing to a pauper That wouldn't be quite like getting my moneys worth"
 Tt is problem, my boy. Think it over very seriously before you come 10 decision one way or the other. In the meantime we can establish beyond a doubt the accuracy of this inven- tory"
 By all means go ahead, and please urge Mfr. Jones not to be too hard on me. I believe I'll risk it if the restric- tions are not too severe. But If Jones has puritanical instincts I might as well give up hope and be satisfied with what have" .a ......
 MT. Jones is very far from what you'd call puritanical. but he is in- tensely practical and clear headed He will undoubtedly require you to keep an expense account and to show some sort of receipt for every dollar you disburse"
 Good Lord. Ttemizey'
 Tn general way. presume"
 'Tll have 10 employ an army ot spendthrifts to devise ways and means for profligacy."
 You forget the item which restraints you from taking anybody into your concerning this matter Think if over. It may not be so diff cult after a nights sleep"
 If 1t Isn't too difficult to get the nights sleep"
 All the rest of the day Brewster wandered about as one in a dream.
