WHAT DO YOU CARE +?
YOU'VE GOT YOUR HEALTH.
Great Natures Do Not Despair al
DisappOintment-They Look for
Something Else to Do.

The broad gagged man of TODAY
does not get blue just because things
don't always come his way unless there
is something the matter with him. If
he falls down" on one proposition he
imme diately starts to look up another.
He always looks forward and keeps on
hustliHg- man with his health and
faculties has plenty of opportunities
feels like it has either d small nature
or some physical weakness.
Dyspepsia certainly puts the best of
men out of condition for work of any
kind. You can not blame the dyspep-
tic for getting blue. The very nature
of his disease is most depressing and
calculated to deprive him of ambition.
energy and hope. There is hope for
him, however, certain and sure.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are rec
Ognized throughout the length and
breadth of the land as the one cure
that's safe and sure Their unbOunded
popularity-res from the thous-
andS and thousands of cures they have
effected. prove beyond the shadow of
a doubt their greatness as a cure.
Wherein lies their greatness In the
very fact that they are Natures own
simple remedy. They do the exac ct
work in exactly the same way that
the digestive fluids of the stomach do
because they are composed of exactly
the same elements and possess the
same properties. They relieve the
weak and worn out stomach of its
burden of digestion and permit it
without let or hindrance to rest and
grow sound and well. The stomach
will get well quick enough in it's own
natural way if it is let alone. That is
what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do
They not only let it alone themselves
but make the food taken into the
stomach do the same.
You can satisfy yourself of the truth
of this statement by putting the food
you would eat into a glass jar with
suficient water and one of Stuart's
I Dyspepsia Tablets. The process of df-
gestion viii be taken up and carried
out just as the gastric juice and other
digestive fluids would do it. Their ac-
ton is natural and they cause no dis
turbance in the digestive organs. In
fact you foget you have a stomach
when they begin to do their work. 81

DROP HOSPITAL PLANS.
City Physician Decides That There Is
No Danger of Epidemic.

The new detention hospital will not be
built after all Plans had been drawn
by the city engineer for alterations and
additions to the present city detention
hospital involving an outlay of about
$1,000 City Physician H. B. HogebOOm
believes that there is no longer any dam
ger of an epidemic of smallpox and ad-
vises the city council to cut down the
plans for the alterations.
Il think $500 will cover about all that
is needed out there" said he. Il think
the building should be plastered and
clapboarded and the stairway can be al

cumstances that it is probably just as
well not to expend more than 5000 on inn
prOvements out there If we should do
as I have suggested we could accomno-
date about ten or twelve patients which
would be sufficient to cover emergencies.
"Diphtheria is practically extinct in
Topeka. The epidemic which prevailed
has died out and have no further fear
from that direction. Pencils and pen
holders which are furnished by the pub

in common by the pupils are a constant
source for the spread of diphtheria and
the person who wrote the letter to the
State Journal last evening is perfectly
correct in his statements. but I think it
is no longer necessary to take any active
steps towards abolishing this custom at
this time with diphtheria out of the way.

good and I don't anticipate any serious

new COMERS MAY VOTE
Election Boundaries Are Changed to
Accommodate Them.

The new additions which have been
taken into the city were responsible
for a change in the boundaries of some
of the ward precincts last evening by
the board of election commissioners.
The commissioner of elections I'M
der the law is required to publish the
metes and bounds of wards and pre-
cincts by the 10th of January The
Fifth and Second wards benefit by the
addition of new territory to the city.
The Second ward now has six pre-
cincts and contains about one-third of
the territory within the limits of the
city.
The Elliott Place addition. Jones
addition. Norris subdivision, Woodruff
Place addition, the Taylor tract the
HarsfeId tract the Conrad tract, the
Brown tract and the SaylOr tract, all
south of Seward avenue and east of the
Santa Fe shops, were added to the
Sixth precinct of the Second ward.
Sections II and % inclusive. extend
ing from north of Eighth street and
east of the Santa Fe tracks, were added
to the fourth precinct of the Second
ward.
The first precinct of the Fifth ward
was given all of Steele's addition, and
all the portion of Quinton Heights ly-
ing north of Twenty-second street
Santa Fe addition, lying south of the
city, across Shunganunga creek was
added to the second precinct of the
Fifth ward. On the west, lots 1 to 35
inclusive and 70 to 107 inclusive on
Boswell avenue in College Hill addi-
ton were added to the first precinct OF
the Fifth ward.
These changes in a way are merely
temporary as a recast of all the boun-
daries of the wards is something which
is contemplated by the city council fol-
lowing the spring election.
The change in the boundaries in the
Second ward is one of the assured
facts.
