DEATH BY INDIGESTION
A Long Train of Fatal Ills Is the Direct Result
of Undlgested Food

Undigested food, by fermenting,
forms of poison in the stomach and this
is absorbed in the blood. If this goes
to be weak, you'll be found some morn
ing dead in bed or you may fall back
down the stairs about an hour and q
half after dinner, and the doctor will
call it heart disease. Yes, that may
be the result, but not the cause. The
cause is indigestion. Indigestion Is a
simple, common word, but 1t has a
terrible import.
And so you may get apoplexy and
die suddenly while you're standing.
If you have a weak liver the poison
of undigested food will attack 1t and
you will get jaundice. If you have
weak kidneys you will get Bright's
Disease or diabetes, from which there
is no rescue for any man.
1t was a learned physician who said
that the progress of a race depended
upon the stomachs of its members.
And you have at some time in your
life eaten a heavy meal or eaten in a
hurry and felt that lump of lead" i'm
mediately afterward. That lump Of
lead is hard ball of undigested food
The stomach can't digest it and finds
1t hard to throw it out. And so it
sours, and 1t makes you sour and
everybody sour who talks with you.
1t gives you bad breath and Is build
ing for you the road to dyspepsia and
death, unless you stop it,
Stop it with Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. Just think, these little tablets
are every bit as powerful as the gas
trio juice in your stomach. One grain
will digest 5000 grains of food. Isn't
this wonderful? And 1t is true, just
try it and prove it.
If you have any brash, gas on the
stomach, fermentation burning,
bloaty feeling, Indigestion, dyspepsia
or heart burn Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
let's will make it disappear before it
can do any harm to your heart or other
organs.
They will invigorate the stomach, re-
lieve the stomach OF two-thirds of it's
work and give it chance to rest. They
will increase the flow of gastric juice,
and if you will ever live" in your life
time, it will be after you have eaten
good, hearty meal and taken one of
these little tablets Immediately after
ward. You'll just feel fine.
Take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets af-
ter your next meal today and you will
use them ever afterward. You will
be cheerful vigorous and your mind
will be clear; you'll have snap and vim

CHICAGO, March 3.-Ruth Bostrum,
a pretty 10-year-old girl who Is partly
blind and half paralyzed was awarded
$4,000 in damages from the Union
Traction company by jury In Judge
Winde's court today.
With one exception the verdict is the
largest personal damage award made
in Cook county courts.
The case is one of the most remarka-
BILE in court annals, because the jury
has practically declared a new ami
hitherto unbelievable theory to be true.
The jury found that it was possible
for a person to receive a blighting and
paralyzing shock of electricity without
touching electric wires; in fact, while
being four feet away from them.

Washington, June 1S.-The contro

In regard to the canal legislation
the prevailing impression is that the

all the matter relative to the type
would be eliminated in conference

PRESIDENT ADDS ANOTHER LET
TER TO MEAT INSPECTION
LITERATURE.
REPLIES TO CHAIRMAN wADsWoRIH
INSISTS HOUSE SUBSTITUTE is
INADEQUATE TO MEET RE-
oUIREMENTs.

Washington, June 1S.-President
Roosevelt has added another chapter
to the literature of the meat inspec-
tfon controversy. It was not through
any desire Of his that the correspond
ence between himself and Representa-
tive Wadsworth, chairman of the
house committee on agriculture, was
published in its entirety Inasmuch,
however, as Chairman Wadsworth
deemed 1t desirable that the letters
should be published and gave them
to the public the president regards
it as proper to complete the CORE
spondence thus far exchanged by the
publication Of his reply to Mr.. Wads-
Worth's letter.
In his letter, the president, while ad-
mitting his error in stating that the
house substitute contained no provis.
lon for the making of inspections of
packinghouses at all hours of the day
or night, says the substitute still
is inadequate to meet the require
ments of the situation. The president
says that, after conference with Rep
resentative Adams of Wisconsin,
member of the agriculture committee,
he is convinced Mr.. Adams will ac-
cept the suggestions made to him re-
garding the bill. He says that Mr..
Adams in each case STATED that he
personally would accept the altera-
tions proposed These changes In
clude the elimination of the court re-
view proposition and a dozen other
alterations. In the opinion of the
president the suggested changes
would make the house committee sub
stitute .'as good as the Beveridge
amendment The president adds that
he is not concerned about the Ian
guage of the amendment, but with the
of the object in view,

inspection"

time settled case will be prepared
