State Manufacturers Association clos
ed it's meetings last night. The fol-
lowing officers were elected:
President-R. o. Green, Fort Dodge.
Vice Presidents. w. Mercer, Iowa
City.

G. G. Higbee, Burlington; I. B. Car
son, Davenport; S. C. Lee, Des Moines;
+. H. Keyes, Council Bluffs.
The next meeting will be held in
Waterloo.
Aside from the resolution placing
the association in opposition to the
Hepburn bill, as reported yesterday,
the closing sessions We're made exceed
ingly interesting by an address by Gov.
Cummins and authorization of the or
ganization of an insurance company
with large capital stock.
Without mentioning names Governor
Cummins caused a sensation by a Sc
we're attack on j. w. Blythe.
Governor Cunlmins in his address
declared he was glad the organiza-
ton had denounced the Hepburn bill,
which he said would avail nothing and
simply complicate a situation already
sufficiently complicated. He also de-
nounced the watering of stocks, which
he said had made possible so many
trusts.
Let us see to it that it becomes as
great a crime against the laws of the
country as it is against the morals, -
he said in referring to inflated stocks
Mr.. Cummins called attention to the
fact that Iowa last spring elevated to
leadership man who is now and has
been down at Washington doing all in
his power to secure legislation favor
able to the railroads.
"The republican party Of Iowa was
placed in the hands of the man who is
attempting to thwart the will of the
people of Iowa and the United States"
he said. "a man associated as he has
been with a corporation which de-
mands so much of the state and the
United States is unfit for political
leadership"
Mr.. Cummins reiterated his views on
reducing some of the tariff schedules
at the same time declaring that he was
a protectionist. He advocated regula-
ton of railroad rates as recommended
by President Roosevelt.
The insurance feature of the organ
ization is the outgrowth of what the
association declares has been unjust
discrimination against Iowa manufac-
turers by the insurance companies do
ing business in Iowa. The matter has
been under consideration for year
or two. The authorized capital stock
of the company is 100000 and its or
ganization will be directed by w. w
Marsh of Waterloo as chairman of the
insurance committee.

YOU CAN INTEREST HIM.
Anx Man Over Fifty.

You can interest any man over hfty
years of age in anything that VIII
make him feel better, because While he
may not as yet have any positive or
ganic disease, he no longer feels the
buoyancy and vigor of twenty-five,
nor freedom from aches and pains he
enioyed in earlier years, and he very
naturally examines with interest any
proposition looking to the improve
ment and preservation of his health.
He will notice among other things
that the stomach of fifty is very diff
ferent one from the stomach he pos
sessed at twenty five. That greatest
care must be exercised as to what is
eaten and how much of it, and even
with the best of care, there will be IN
creasing digestive weakness with ad-
Vancing years.
A proposition to perfect or improve
fhe digestion and assimilation OF 1000
Is one which interests not only every
man of fifty, but every man, woman
and child of any age, because the Whole
secret of good health, good blood
strong nerves, is to have stomach
which will promptly and thoroly dl-
gest wholesome food because blood,
nerves, brain tissue and every other
constituent of the body are entirely the
product % digestion, and no medicine
or health food can possibly create
pure blood or restore shaky nerves,
when a weak stomach is replenishing
the daily wear and tear of the body
from a mass of fermenting half-digest-
ed food.
No, the stomach itself wants help,
and in no roundabout way, either; 1t
wants direct, unmistakeable assistance,
such as is given by one or two Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
These tablets cure stomach trouble
because their use gives the stomach a
chance to rest and recuperate; one of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contains
digestive elments sufficient to digest
5000 grains of ordinary food such as
bread, meat, eggs, etc.
The plan of dieting is simply an
other name for starvation, and the use
of prepared foods and new tangled
breakfast foods simply makes matters
worse as any dyspeptic who has tried
them knows.
I can imagine why Stuart's Dyspepsia
= dDletS are Ilol universally useu NY
everybody who Is troubled in any way
with poor digestion is because many
people seem to think that because a
medicine is advertised or is sold in
drug stores or is protected by a trade
mark, must be humbug, whereas as
q matter of truth, any druggists who
Is observant knows that Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets have cured more people
of indigestion, heart burn, heart trou-
bic, nervous prostratlun and run down
condition generally than all the patent
medicines and doctors prescriptions
for stomach trouble, combined.
