The remedy is not heralded as q

to cure anything except dyspepsia, in

are sold by druggists under the name

Interesting experiments to test the d.
gestive power of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets show that one grain of the
active principle contained in them Is
sufficient to thoroughly digest 5000
grains of raw meat, eggs and other
wholesome food.
Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after dinner pills and
cheap cathartics, which simply irritate
and inflame the intestines without
having any effect whatever In digesting

This Is the secret IL there is any

practically unknown IA few years ago,
and now the most widely known of any

This success has been secured en-

no stomach trouble If the food Is
promptly digested.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets act en-
eirely on the food eaten, dlgesting It
completely, so that 1t can be assimil-

cure dyspepsia, water brash, sour

meals will demonstrate their merit

Webster City, Jan. 4.-Riding on a
ticket purchased at the expense Of
Hamilton county, Charlie Burgdorf
returned to Des Moines Saturday
afternoon. He spent just one week in
Webster City and then returned to the
capital city In spite of the efforts of
that municipality to get rid of him.
Charlie arrived here on Christmas eve
and received anything but the cordial
hand from the overseer of the poor,
whose duty it Is to look after all cases
of restitution. Des Moines. after
sheltering Charlie for six or seven
years, shipped him to Webster City In
the vain hope of disposing of him and
thereby shutting off the expense of his
keep.
Charlie knew he had a sister living
here, but found that she was out In the
county visiting and he had no place
to go. The big storm came on Tuesday
and begging was cold business. SO the
city took care of him until Saturday
night, when they returned him to Des
Moines. Charlie was not anxious to
return, but they told him that there
was nothing else for the city to do.
