GIVE YOUR STOMACH
A NICE VACATION
Don't Do IL BY Starving 1t Eitlfer--Let
n substitute DO The Work

The old adage. "All work and no
play makes Jack dull boy" applies
just as we'll to the stomach. one of
the most important organs of the hu-
man system. as it does to the man
himself.
If your stomach is worn out and re-
bells against being taxed beyond its
limit. the only sensible thing you can
do is to give it a rest. Employ
substitute for a short time and see if
it will not more than repay you In
results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets ere q
willing and most efficient substitute.
They themselves digest every bit OF
food in the stomach in just the same
way that the stomach itself would,
were it we'll They contain all the
essential elements that the gastric
juice and other digestive fluids of the
stomach contain and actually act just
the same and do just the same work
as the naturar fluids would do, were the
stomach we'll and sound. They, there
fore, relieve the stomach, just as one
workman relieves another. and permit
it to rest and recuperate and regain
it's normal health and strength.
This vacation idea was suggested
by the letter of a prominent lawyer
in Chicago. Read what he says: Il
was engaged in the most momentous
undertaking of my life in bringing
about the coalition of certain great
interests that meant much to me as
wess as to my clients. 1t was not the
work of days. but of months; | was
working night and day almost when
at a very critical time my stomach
went completely back on me. The UNI
due mental strain brought it about
and hurried up what would have hap
pened later on.
'What | ate l had to literally force
down and that was a source of misery,
as I had q sour stomach much of the
time. My head ached, l was sluggish
and began to lose my ambition to
carry out my undertaking. 1t looked
pretty gloomy for me and l confided
my plight to one of my clients. Tie
had been cured by Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets and at once went down to
drug store and brought a box up to
the office.
'I had not taken a quarter Of that
box before | found that they would
do all the work of my stomach ever
did; and as a rest or vacation was out
the question for me. ] determined to
give my stomach a vacation. | kept
right on taking the tablets and braced
UP and went ahead with my work with
renewed vigor, ate just so much as /
ever did and carried out that under
takink to a successful issue. | feel
that / have Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
to thank for saving me the handsom-
est fee l ever received as we'll as my
reputation and last but not least my
stomach"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at so cents box.

FIVE HUNDRED POUND BALES.
Necessity Of Uniformity of Statistical
Expression i'm Giving Out Reports.
(Bv the Associated Press.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 8.-The
following statement was issued at the
Department of Agriculture today:
cit will be recalled that in December
of last year the bureau of statis-
tics of the Department of Agriculture
made a preliminary estimate of the
production of cotton for the season
1904-1905 of 12,163,000 bales, and
that subsequently the bureau of the
census issued reports showing the
total production to have been 13,438,-
900 bales, both amounts being ex-
elusive of linters
This discrepancy, to the extent in
Dictated, did not actually exist. 1t
was largely due to the fact that the
census bureau expressed the produc-
ton of the year in question in bales
of 500 pounds gross weight, or SIS
pounds net weight, as far as square
bales were concerned. such bales con-
stituting 1913 per cent of the crop.
If Mr.. Hyde had employed the same
basis as that employed by the census
bureau in reducing his estimate of
the pounds of lint cotton produced
in bales-i. g. had he given the fig
ures representing production in bales
of a gross weight Of five hundred
pounds each, or a net weight of Ats
pounds each, his estimate would have
shown 12,881,000 bales as having
been produced, instead of 12,163.00O.
thus making the discrepancy between
his preliminary estimate and the final
figures of the census bureau ONLY
trife over four per cent. s.
THE figures given above emphasize
the necessity of uniformity in methods
of statistical expression as between
different bureaus of the government,
and it was for this reason that the
bureau of statistics of the Department
of Agriculture decided, in making the
estimate on December 4th, to express
the same in bales of the same size as
THE bales reported by the Census
Bureau. thus establishing uniformity
and enabling a ready comparison of
the figures emanating from the two
bureaus"
