A Reasonable Plea
For The Stomach

Stomach Do It's Work, Espee-

TO Try7

Not with drugs but with a reinforcs-
ment OF digestive agents. such as are
naturally az work in the stomachg Scien-
tlhc analysis shows that digestion requires
pcpsin. nitrogcnous forments. and the s..
cretion Of hydrochlor.c acid. When your
food fails TO digest it Is proof positive
that some Of these agents are lacking in
your digestive apparatus
stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets contain
nothing but these natural elements neces
sary to digestion and when Il,csd at
work I'm the weak stomach and small in
testInes, supply whnt these organs need.
They stimulate the gastic ands ans

ernment is business one. The property owners
want low taxes as possible with the best re-
turns obtainable for the money Every man,
whether he is property owner or renter, is di-
rcctly concerned The man who owns his small
home does not desire to be taxed excessively
The renter knows that with higher taxes rents
in this city will advance again. Higher taxes
and bad municipal government halt those VINO

houses follows. That means renters must pay
more. All OF these things should be carefully
considered in the making OF the new charter

No ATTACK ON INDUSTRY.

HE agitation not only in Delaware but in
\ many other cities regarding questions oi
taxation is not an assault upon the business IN
terests as some endeavor to make it appear. All
that is desired IS equitable system of taxation
When some property. like that OF street rail-
ways, for instance is permitted to escape taxation
or to give only small share, other property
owners must pay more TO make up'for the diner
ence. Our big manufacturing plants, FOR exam
pie, would have lower taxes if the railway com.
panies paid more A general all round leveng
process is needed and surely no harm can come

America and Japan. The one shouts

childish To say we would have the ad-
vantage Of her now because she has
exhausted herself ia whipping Russia.
She has not only not exhausted herself
but she has strengthened herself She

Sour Milk to the Fore.

When health boards are so much in
terestod in the milk question and are
clamorihg for freshness and purity of
the article there is a startling interest
manifested in quite contrary direction
by the advocacy OF sour milk not only
as a safe diet but one that has an ad-
ditional value In destroying millions of
harmful bacteria that urlS IN our in
teriors and constantly threaten US with
destruction. So. after all It may be a
blessing in disguise when the nourish-
ing liquid Is a little off In sweetness
and freshness. thus making amends for
ordinary preference IN an opposite di-
rection. Now. perhaps. the unsuspect-
ing purchaser can be the gamer rather
than the loser and be physiological in
his demands as well as philosophical in
hia resignation.
