Catarrh of the Stomach
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and
Effectual Cure for II.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

COSTS NO HIM. " NJ
Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in
curabIe. The usual symptoms are a
fuu or bIoating sensation after eating,
accompanied sometimes with sour or
waterv risings, a formation of gases,
causing pressure on the heart and
lungs and difficult breathing, head
aches tickle appetite, nervousness and
general played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth. coated tongue and If the in
terror of the stomach could be seen il
would show a Shiny, inflamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure a prompt and healthy digestion
, is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DR.. HarlansOn, the SAT-
est and best treatment is to sue after
each meal a tablet. composed of Dias-
tase. Aseptic Pepsin. a little Nux,
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets and not being a
patent medicine can be used with per-
feet safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and thorough digestion will
follow their regular use after meals.

A Practice Which Was En-

Seattle. Wash, Jan. 22-Evidence in
dicating that lumbermen have been
paying money to railroad employees to
have cars spotted" on their tracks
was introduced before the Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Lane at a
hearing this afternoon in the car short
age investigation.
Chas. NJ. Patton. president of the Re-
lance Lumber company and president
and secretary OF the Atlas Lumber and
Single company, made such a state
ment during the course of his exam
! inatiOn. To say that the evidence of
Patton was sensational would be put
! ting il mildly. Patton had been giving
some facts and figures showing that
there was apparent discrimination in
the distribution of cars at Tacoma
among the mills.
How do you account for the dis
crimination?" asked Lane.

cars" said the witness.

marking that was matter for the
railroad to investigate.
But we dispute that any SUCH prac-
tice exists" said Mr.. Cannon.
The commission has testimony from
all over the country that the practice is
a pretty universal one" said Mr.. Lane
A multitude OF witnesses testified be-

Not only lumbermen were put on the
stand but Senator Paulhamus told of

there was car shortage by the rail-
road attorneys. They sought to show

DISCRIMINATION
AGAINST PHOENIX
Distributing Freight Rates From Tue
SON Will Be Cut in Half. A Chance
for the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.

The freight tariffs affecting Phoenix
and Tucson are disarranged again in
respect of wholesale business and the
Phoenix merchants are again laboring
under a handicap, after having as they
supposed, as the result of years of hus-
tie, secured a fair and equitable ad-
Justment. Just what course they will
pursue to obtain relief has not been
decided upon. but it is believed they
have a good cause to lay before the
interstate commerce commission and il
has been suggested that the board of
trade should take up the matter. If
the board refuses to do so it is sug-
Sested that an association of merchants
be formed through the board or to
work with it. and endeavOr to secure
a proper hearing for it seems evident
on the face OF things that the South
ern Pacific is discriminating in favor
Of Tucson as against Phoenix.
The conditions are these: From time
immemOrial, almost, Tucson has been
given a better wholesale rate than
Phoenix to aid in the building up of a
wholesale business. The matter was
taken up at various times by the PhOe-
nix merchants and finally, after a con-
tinued effort, the details of which the
merchants are familiar with, Phoenix
was given the same incoming rate from
coast points as Tucson on many COM
mOdities, though not on all of them.
The list included wines, dried fruits,
pickles of various kinds, canned goods,
fruits, meats, preserved fruits, con-
densed milk, beans, salt, potatoes,
sweet potatoes, onions, soaps, soap
powders, sugar. etc, enough of them
so the rate was quite fair on such
merchandise as comprises the greater
part of the wholesale shipping. This
fact was heralded abroad and Tucson
went up in the air. She also went to
work and has brought every possible in
iluence to bear since then until she has
finally secured the boon of unfair
rates as against Phoenix. for outgoing
shipments. 1t is now announced by the
Southern Pacific tariff sheets that after
February l the old jobbing distributing
rates out Of Tucson will be restored.
these rates being just one half the
present prevailing rates. To illustrate,

Another use for the instrument is

As most people know telegraph oper-
ators sometimes make mistakes just
the same as ordinary mortals and
are sometimes careless. As many peo-
pie also know, if a telegrapher opens
his key. disconnecting the current, the
man at the other end of the wire can
not call him. Frequently an operator
will leave his key open inadvertently
or carelessly. In this event the man
ut the other end may call in vain and
get no respnse however important or
urgent quick connection may be. In
a case of that kind all the operator
desiring to attract attention would
have to do would be To pick up his
telegraphone and say Hello Bill, close
your key" and Bill would come alive
The possibilities Of this instrument
are yet hardly known and there is
little doubt that before many years

a telegraphone in his wagon and call
