they invariably cause what is known as
a sour stomach, greatly interfering with
digestion; running the appetite for the
next meal, and making the breath foul
and exceedingly unpleasant. Parents
who. habitualy furnish their children
with candy and sweetmeats and allow
them to eat such things at any time, are
doing the children great injury, and lay
ing in them the foundation for disease
and suffering in years to come.
The use OF patent medicines and drugs
prescribed by physicians devoid of con-
science and by quack doctors are also
responsible for indigestion and many all
ments of the stomach. When you go
to doctor to be treated for seine ailment,
and after questioning you for while. he
simply turns to his desk and writes out
a prescription to be filed at u drug store,
and then dismisses you without giving you
any instructions as to hygienic and ply
steal treatment of your disease the best
thing you can do is to tear up that pre-
scription and seek another physician. The
only good physician is he who pays most
attention to the physical and hygienic
treatment of the patient, using directly
only such drugs as he knows will assist a
cure and never injure the patient. Physi-
clans and medicines do not cure diseases.
as some people suppose and the only
thing good physician Or medicine can
do Is to assist nature in affecting n cure
for nature is always the restorative
power; therefore. that treatment of any
disease which is most natural will be most
affective.
Other things may be mentioned as re-
sponsible for some diseases. such as too

but so much has been said about these
things by writer's on the subject that it Is
only necessary to mention them in this

Now, as to the best way by which to
improve the digestion and to strengthen

Before the strenuous age came on there
was different limit TO the possibilities
of invention. True, long ago it was said
that Necessity was tho mother of in
vention," but all that was false. False,
because the world lived in darkness too
many thousands of years, and labor
saving machinery and the appliances OF
natures hidden forces were as much OF
necessity u thousand years ago as they
are to-day, but no one had revealed the
possibilities of research In the invisible
| fields; therefore there was nothing doing.
What was done was purely accidental.
Isaac Newton Is credited with the dis
covery of the law of gravitation, but he
was moved to the investigation by the
fact that while lying under a tree an
apple fell from 1t and hit him on the
head. So in that case 1t was a law seek
Ing a man. and not a man seeking a law,
and in order to get an audience it tried
to pound the principle in his head with
force.
Robert Watts discovered the power OF
steam while as a boy watching the steam

Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity

Tho delicacy of roast pig is said to
have been discovered in China where

The famous Scotch snuff was the result

TO BUILD NEW WARSHIPS.
Contracts Go to Cramps and Ne1o
York ShipbmIding Company.

Washington, July 12.-Secretary Bonaparte
to-day awarded the contracts for the two $4,000
ton battleships South Carolina and Michigan.
one to the Cramps, of Philadelphia, and the
other to the New York Shipbuilding Company.
Of Camden N. J. The Cramps bid was $780,
600 and that Of the New York Shipbuilding Com
pany s35s5.00O. The Secretary Of the Navy
was obliged to distribute the contracts in this
way because Congress had provided that not
more than one ship should be built by any one
concern. The boats are TO be OF the recipro-
eating type far engines are concerned, the
Secretary having approved the finding OF the
board on construction to the effect that it would
be we'll for the department TO await the compile
ton OF the turbine scout ships now under con-
struction before embarking another. expert
ment of that kind
The various bids submitted for these two
ships have had careful consideration first by the
board on construction, then by the Secretary
of the Navy. who has advised with the President
in reference to the matter, and II is believed
that the Naval General Board has also been
consulted. Secretary Bona parte. in order to Sc
cure the fullest light this question, invited
the various bidders to criticise another's
plans, and as a result ne received letters yes
terday from four OF the bidders but nothing
contained in them seems to have affected his
inclination in favor of the acceptance OF the
recommendation of the board on construction.
1t has not yet been determined which battle
ship the Cramps will build and which one will
go to the New York Shipbuilding Company. 1t
is believed, however, that the Michigan will be
built by the Cramps and the South Carolina at
Camden.

TCENEN INDICTED.
Washington Grand Jury Finds True

Washington. July 12.-The grand jury the
District OF Columbia to-day returned indictments
against the American Ice Company and the
Chapin-Sacks Ice Company and their local officers.
on the charge of entering into conspiracy in
crease the price of ice At the request OF District
Attorney Baker. Judge Wright Immediately issued
warrants for the arrest of the indicted officers
In addition TO the two companies named indict-
ments were returned against Samuel A. Kimberly.
local manager and agent, and George F. Hoover.
superintendent Of routes of the American Ice Com
PAM. and Arthur A. Chaplin, president. and Sam
uel G Redman, secretary and treasurer of the
Chaplin Sacks company. The indicted men gave
bonds Of $3.50 each.
The proceeding is under the Sherman antitrust
law and the indictments charge "a combination
and conspiracy in restraint of trade and COM
rnerce." The American Ice Company and the
Chapin-Sacks company transact about IS per cent
OF the ice business in the District of Columbia, and
while these two companies were formerly cOmpet-
it is charged that April % last they entered
into combination agreeing not to sell to dealers
who should sell ice wholesale for less than 25
cents a hundred pounds at retail for than
40 cents a hundred. This combination is alleged to
have had the effect of destroying competition not
only between the two principal companies, but also
among the smaller dealers.
