Distress After Eating
Do You Ever Feel As Though You Had Swallowed A Brick,
 Instead of a Meal?

That heavy. bloated stuffed-up, lead-like feeling which you often experience after eating q meal, is positive proof that some thing is wrong with your digestive organs They are becoming weak and Tagged out There is d lack of gastric and other diges- tive juices The food is no longer prop erly dgested and it forms a heavy load on your stomach, so that nearly every meal causes you misery and distress
 If you are in this condition, it means that you have dyspepsia in some form and may have had it for some time, though you didn't realize it.
 Now is the time to check it. for if you don't it will surely develop into worse forms of dyspepsia and other stomach troubles, which may have serious results.
 But that is not all. The stomach is the hub of the body and an injury to it is an injury to all. A weak stomach causes the whole body to suffer. The action of the heart, liver and kidneys becomes slug gish. The brain becomes inactive. The nerves become uhstrung. The blood loses it's vitality.
 The only safe. sure. scientific method of restoring your stomach to it's healthy normal state, is to use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which will act as a substitute in digesting your food thus giving your stomach a much needed rest
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have stood

Physicians all over the United States recommend tiem They are not a secret remedy They contain fruit and vegetable essences. pure concen- trated tincture of hydrastis. golden seal, lactose, and pure aseptic pepsin. These combined ingredients will digest the coarest kind of food and do the work just as well as any good strong, healthy stomach will

terstate corporation While this thorough supervision and control by the national government Is desirable primarily in the interest of the people, it will also, I firmly believe. be to the benefit of those corporations themselves which desire to be honest and law-abiding. Only thus can we put over these corporations one com petent and efficient sovereign--the nation able both to exact justice from them and to secure justice for them, so that they may not be alternately pampered and oppressed. The proposal need be dreaded only by those corporations which do not wish to obey the law or to be controlled fin just fashion. but prefer to take their chances under the present lack of all system and to court the chance of getting improper favors as offsetting the chance of being blackmailed-an attitude ren- dered familiar in the past by those cor porations which had thriven under cer- tain corrupt and lawless city govern ments.
 Railroad Control.
 The first need Is to exercise this fed eral control in thoroughgoing and efficient fashion over the railroads, which, because of their peculiar position, offer the most immediate and urgent problem. The American people abhor a vaccum, and is determined that this control shall be exercised somewhere; 1t is most unwise for the railroads not to recognize this and to submit to 1t as the first requisite of the situation When this control is exercised in some such fashion as 1t is now exercised over the national banks, there will be falling off in business prosperity. On the contrary, the chances for the average man to do better will be increased. Undoubtedly there will be much less opportunity than at present for a very few individuals not of the most scrupulous type to amass great for tunes by speculating in and manipulating securities which are issued without any
 kind of control or supervision But there will be plenty of room left for ample legitimate reward for business genius, while the chance for the man who is not a business genius. but who is good thrifty hard working citizen, will be bet ter do not believe that our efforts will have anything but beneficial effect upon the permanent prosperity of the country; and as a matter of fact. even as regards any temporary effect. I think that any trouble is due fundamentally not to the fact that the national authorities have discovered and corrected certain abuses. but to the fact that those abuses were there to be discovered. I think that the excellent people who have complained of our policy as hurting business have shown much the same spirit as the child who regards the dentist and not the ulcer ated tooth the real source of his woe. I am as certain as I can be of anything that the course we are pursuing will ulti- mately help business; for the corrupt man of business is as great foe to this coun- try as the corrupt politician. Both stand on the same evil eminence of infamy. Against both 1t is necessary to war; and If. unfortunately, in either type of war fare. few innocent people are hurt, the responsibility lies not with us, but hurt.
