WHAT 1T MEANS 70 YOU.
Few People Realize the Importance of
Good Digestion Until 1t is Lost.

Many people suffer from dyspepsia
and do not know 1t. They feel mean,
out of sorts, peevish, do not sleep we'll,
do not have a good, keen appetite, do
not have the inclination and energy
for physical or mental work they once
had, but at the same time do not feel
any particular pain or distress in the
stomach. Yet all this is the result OF
poor digestion, an insiduious form of
dyspepsia which can only he cured by
a remedy specially intended TO cure
1t and make the digestive organs act
naturally. and properly digest the food
eaten. Bitters. after dinner pills and
nerve tonics will never help the trou-
BILE; they don't reach it. The new
medical discovery does. 1t is called
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and is a
specific for dyspepsia and Indigestion.
1t cures because 1t thoroughly digests
all wholesome food taken into the
stomach, whether the stomach is in
good working order or not.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by di-
costing the food, instead of making
the worn out stomach do all the work
gives 1t a much needed rest and a cure
OF dyspepsia is the natural result
and sleepless, don't make the common
mistake of supposing your nervous
system needs treatment and fill your
stomach with powerful nerve tosics
which make you feel good for q little
while only, to fall back farther than
ever.
Your nerves are all right, but they
are starved, they want food.
,,,sy -, IL
day food and plenty of it, we'll di-
gested, and you can laugh at nerve
tones and medicine.
But the nerves will not be nour-
ished from a weak, abused stomach.
but when the digestion has been made
perfect by the use of this remedy all
nervous symptoms disappear
Who ever heard of a man or woman
blessed with vigorous digestion and
good appetite being troubled with
their nerves?
Good digestion means a strong ner-
vous system abundance of energy,
and capacity to enjoy the good things
Of life.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will GER
tainly set your stomach and digestive
organs right; they can't help but do
1t because they nourish the body by
digesting the food eaten, and rest the
stomach.
= You get nourishment and rest at one
and the same time, and that is all the
worn out dyspeptic needs to build him
UP and give new life to every organ
and an added zest to every pleasure
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
god-send to the army of men and
women with weak stomachs and
nerves and justly merits the claim of
being one of the most worthy medical
discoveries of the time.

TRAVELLERS ARE SORE.
Statesmen Disguised With Des Moines
Hiqh Handed Methods.

High Handed Methods.
The many travelling men of this city,
who were at the. annual meeting of the
Iowa State Travelling Mems Associa-
ton, are "sore" and Disguised with the
high handed means Des Moines men
took to control the business of the an
nual meeting and elect their candidate.
This soreness" so those say who
were there, is not due so much to the
defeat of their candidate, w. j. Van
Derveer, but more on account of the
methods employed to control the meet
ing. According to some the meeting
was controlled by rowdyism. That any
effort to speak from those outside of
Des Moines was promptly shut off by
deafening shouts and Kisses, which
made it impossible for the speaker to
be heard. The greatest Of confusion
reigned while the amendments were
being voted on and the noise was SO
great it was impossible to tell how
the vote stood. Those who were there
from this city admit that by numbers
Des Moines was easily in control and
had the outside delegates at their mer-
cy, but they think at least a decent
for those who attended
from other cities should have been
given.

YoRDY FOR SUPERVISOR.
Prominent Farmer of Washington
Township Enters Race for County

Daniel Yordy, a prominent and WE'LL
to-do farmer of Washington township,
decided late Saturday afternoon to en-
ter the field for the apprenticeship. to
succeed w. III. Whitehill, and today
makes his formal announcement in the
T.-R. Mr.. Yordy has been mentioned
as probable candidate for some time,
but he had not given the matter much
thought until his friends began to
urge him to come out
Mr.. Yordy is one of the best known
men In the southwestern part of the
county. He is a heavy land owner,
paying taxes on 535 acres in this coun-
ty alone. He was born of sturdy
Pennsylvania Dutch stock, and came
to Ogle county, Illinois, when a small
boy. He sought a newer country and
came to Marshall county tWenty-three
years ago, settling in Washington
township on the same farm he now oc-
cupies as his home place. This ele-
giant homestead contains 295 acres, and
joins corners with the county farm,
to the southwest. Mr.. Yordy also owns
a fine farm Of 240 acres in State Cen
ter township.
Mr. Yordy is a good business man,
and one who has managed his own af-
fairs well. He is of mature age and
judgment, and has been republican
all his life, having cast his first vote
for Abraham Lincoln for the presi
dency He has never held office, with
the exception of school director in his
township. Mr.. Yordy is not an office
seeker in the real sense of the word,
as he has not cared very much
whether he became a candidate or not.
He would not consider it now were it
not for the fact that his business af-
fairs are in good shape, and he has
grown son who is capable of looking
after his farming interests, thus en-
abling him to devote the time that he
realizes will be necessary should he
receive the nomination and be elected
to the office. Mr.. Yordy will make
s,rong candidate.
