MAY DISSOLVE TRAFFIC BUREAU
Leading Traffic Experts in Conference

The fate of the traffic or tariff bu-
reaus maintained by the railroads will
depend largely on the outcome of the
conference which commenced yesrar-
day IN Washington. between the inter-
state commerce commission and the
freight and passenger traffic experts
represe ming all the lines in the coun-
try. The railroad committee was an
pointed by request of the commission
which desired the assistance of traffic
men of experience for a discussion in
detail of the rules to govern all lines
in the future com pilatiOn and publica-
ton of tariffs. The conference will
consume several days, and at its con-
ciusion the commission will formulate
the rules for uniform observance
throughout the country A preItrl-
mary meeting of the traffic experts
was held in Washington on Saturday
and they prepared their suggestions
for the publication of tariffs looking
to a plan for simplifying the vast de-
tail work involved III order to comply
with the legal requirements.
If the commission should hold that
the work must be done by individual

TrICked by Dyspepsia
The Doctor Couldn't Tell Where The
Trouble Lay.

For the past seven years [ have
been victim of dyspepsia and chronic
constipation and have consulted the
most noted specialists to be found on
diseases of this character. None. how
ever, seemed to locate the difficulty or
give relief. In addition to this medi-
cal treatment i have resorted to the
use Of ny remedies and have given
them faithful trial, but all to no pur-
pose.
Upon the recommendation of a close
friend. ] purchased SOC package of
Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets and in less
than FIVE days noticed that I was re-
ceiving more benefit than from any
remedy 1 had used before I contin-
ued to use the tablets after each meal
for one month and by that time my
stomach was in a healthy condition,
capable of digesting anything which
my Increasing appetite demanded.
Il have not experienced any return
Of my former trouble. though three
months have elapsed since taking your
remedy.
we wish that you could see with
your own eyes the countless other
bona-fide signed letters from grateful
men and women all over the land who
had suffered years Of agoliy with dys-
pepsia, tried every known remedy and
consulted eminent specialists without
result, until they gave Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets a trial. Like the doctor
above. they couldn't locate the seat of
the trouble.
Dyspepsia is a disease which has
long baf1ed physicians. So difficult of
location is the disease that cure seems
next to miraculous. There IS only one
way to treat dyspepsia--to supply the
elements which nature has ordained to
perform this function and to cause
them to enter the digestive organs,
supplying the fluids which they lack
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets alone fill
these requirena ents, as is shown by the
fact that 10000 physicians in the
United States and Canada unite in rec
ornnnending them to their patients for
stomach disorders.
We do not claim or expect Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets to cure anything
but disordered conditions of the stom-
ach and other digestive organs, but
this they never fail to do. They work
upon the inner lining of the stomach
and intestines. stimulate the gastric
I glands and aid in the secretion of
juices necessary to digestion.

sale by all druggists at so cents box
