MAN MAY LIVE $50 YEARS.
Deductions of an Oberlin, Ohio, Scien'
tist-Human Possibilities.

CHICAGO, March 6.-Man may live hap
PLY and usefully for $50 years. according to
Dr. Lyman Beecher Sperry Of Oberlin,
Ohio, who has expressed this belief in an
address delivered before the Young Mems
Christian Association Of Chicago.
"After third of a century of scientific
study such is my conviction" said DR..
Sperry 1.-THE constructive forces which
bring about the present low average of
longevity are manifold, but believe it is
possible to enjoy good health and activity
up to a century and half by proper I'M
Outstanding of the human possibilities and
the exercise of this knowledge"
Dr. Sperry's topic was the Science of
Living" his main object apparently being
to point out the influences which retard
longevity with stress on the theory that
immortality has direct bearing on the
physical being.
Climatic conditions. according to DR.. Sper-
ry, have been reduced to statistics, proving
beyond doubt that both torrid and frigid
atmosphere tend to shorten existence. All
the longevity worth mentioning, 1t was
claimed, existed in the temperate zone.
In relation to the destructive force of evil
habits Dr. Sperry spoke at length, and his
scathing treatment of drink, tobacco and
opium was said to be derived from per-
sonal association with victims.

VERY FEW PEOPLE
ARE FREE FROM SOME FORM OF INDIGEs-
TION.

ARE FREE FROM SOME FORM OF INDIGES-
TON.
Very few people are free from some form OF
indigestion, but scarcely two will have the same
symptoms.
Some suffer most directly after eating, bloat-
ing from gas In stomach and bowels, others have
heartburn or sour rsings. still others have palpi-
tation Of heart, headaches sleeplessness, pains
In chest and under shoulder blades. some have eI-
treme nervousness, in nervous dyspepsia.
But whatever the symptoms may be. the cause
in all cases of indigestion Is the same, that Is
the stomach for some reason fails to properly and
promptly digest what is eaten.
This is the whole story of stomach troubles in
nutshell The stomach must have rest and
assistance and Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets give it
both by supplying those natural digestives which
every weak stomach lacks, owing TO the failure
Of the peptic glands in the stomach to secrete
sufficient acid and pepsin to thoroughly digest
and assimilate the food eaten.
One grain Of the active principle In Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 5000 grains OF
meat, eggs other wholesome food, and this claim
has been proven by actual experiment, which any
one can perform for himself in the following
ner: Cut hard boiled egg into very small pieces,
as 1t would be II masticated; place the egg and
two or three Of the tablets in bottle or jar
tanning warm water heated TO 9S degrees (the
temperature Of the body, and keep 1t at this tenn
perature for three and onehalf hours, at the end
Of which time the egg will be completely d.
gested as 1t would have been in the healthy stom-
ach Of a hungry boy.
The point of this experiment IL that what Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets will do TO the egg In the
bottle they will do to the egg meat In the stoni-
ach and nothing else will rest and invigorate the
stomach so safely and effectualy. Even a little
child can take Stuart's Tablets With 7afety and
benefit If its digestion is weak. and the thousands
Of cures accomplished by their regular daily
easily explained when it is understood that they
are composed OF vegetable essences, aseptic pepsn
diastase and Golden Seal, which mingle with the
food and digest 1t thoroughly, giving the over
worked stomach chance to recuperate.
Dieting cures Dyspepsia. neither do pills
and cathartic medicines which simply irritate and
ilfame the intestines.
When enough food is eaten and promptly di.
gested there VIII be no constipation, nor In fact
will there be disease of any kind because good
digestion means good health in every organ.
The merit and success Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are worldwide and they sold at the
moderate price of 80 cents for full sized package
In every drug store In the United States and
Canada. as well az In Europe.

The Tallest Man.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

T
A Russian giant has made his appearance
in London who is said to be the tallest man
in the world. The giant was measured by a
tailor for a dress suit 1t was found that he
is o feet So inches in height. 1853 pounds in
weight and a four-shilling piece can be
passed through the ring which he wears on
the small finger OF his left hand. The cir
conference of his head is three-quarters Of
q yard and he wears a collar of twenty
three inches. The monster wears the larg
est boot In the world. His feet are two
feet and one-haIf inches in size, and in con-
sequence, his boots measure two feet three
inches. Among the giants whose records
may be regarded as authentic the Russians
claim to be the tallest seems to be justified.
Some of the famous big men of the past
were John Middleton, 8 feet inches, born
in Lancashire in 1875; Patrick O'Brien, 8
feet inches. born in Kinsale, Ireland. in
1861, and John Frederick. duke of Bruns-
wick, 8 feet 9 inches.

Pension for Former Kansas Senator

FROM the Kansas City Journal.
The granting Of a pension Of $50 per
month by the House today to Edmund G.
Ross directs attention to the condition of a
man who was one of the central figures in
the Impeachment trial OF Andrew Johnson
President Of the United States. He has
been reduced to perjury and want, and for a
number OF years has been eking out a pre-
carious existence a printer, setting type
on country papers In New Mexico. His
home has been at Albuquerque for some
years. Delegate Rodey of New Mexico In
troduced the bill for his relief and 1t passed
the House this afternoon.
Ross was United States Senator from
Kansas at the time the impeachment pro-
ceedings in the Johnson case were in prog
ress and was depended upon to vote for the
impeachment When the time came for the
vote, however, he declined to vote for the
Impeachment and thereby lost caste with
the people of Kansas. He was at the time
editor of paper at Lawrence, where he re-
turned after leaving the Senate. The circu-
lation of his paper fell off to such an ex-
tent that he was unable to keep 1t going
and he removed to Albuquerque.

harmful In that respect than the recent ac-

the executive council a bill to restore the
original coat-of-arms of Porto Rico. When
the Americans took charge of the island
they appointed committee to provide for
a new coat-of-arms.
This was done without protest from any
direction, Porto Ricans agreeing that the
abolition of everything Spanish would be

Nominations Sent to the Senate.

Not long afterward Assistant Secretary
Barnes left for the Capitol with batch
of nominations and a message.
1t was decided early by the President to
send to the Senate today not only the NOM
nations of the members of his cabinet, but,
In addition many other appointments about
which an agreement had been reached. 1t
Is not unprecedented for the President to
send other nominations than those of his
cabinet officers to the Senate the first
day of the session, but it has been custo-
mary for Presidents to nominate only the
members of their cabinets on that day.
The list OF nominations included, therc-
fore, appointments of ambassadors, MIN
listers, consuls general and consuls, so far
as have been decided upon. There We're
few surprises In the list, as most of the ap-
pointments made to the principal posts
heretofore have been announced, at least
in a semi-official way
Among the nominations that are expected
to go to the Senate in few days is that
of Frank Hitchcock as assistant postmas-
ter general, whether first or fourth is not
known. Mr.. Hitchcock was chief clerk Of
the department of commerce and labor
when the campaign began last year. He
went with Mr.. Cortelyou and remained with
him as confidential assistant Throughout.
