HALT IN RAILROAD MAKING.
No More Railroad Building, SAYS tile
President of the Santa Re.

Chicago, Oct. 2.-The suggestion that
railroad building in the United States
is at an end, made by James J. Hill
of the Great Northern, found kindred
sentiment in E. P. Ripley, president
of the Santa Fe. He said: IT believe
there will not be much more railroa d
building in this country so long as the
attitude of the public remains as it is
today.
What about rebuilding of lines as
they wear out?'
There will be no more of that than
is absolutely necessary, and what there
is will come out of the earnings. No
money will be borrowed even to re-
build"
A more hopeful view of the situation
is taken by President ]. A Harahan
of the Illinois Central.
There are bound to be more rail-
roads built in the United States" he
said, but Il question whether we will
see much more construction for a time,
but whenever population demands it,
railroads will be built

For the Woman That's Fat.

A Detroit physician says that the
cheapest and safest mixture a fat wo-
man who wants to get thin can use is
one-half ounce Marmola (get 1t in the
original half-ounce package), one-half
ounce F1u;d Extract Cascara Aromatic
and three and one-half ounces Syrup
Simplex. The proper amount to take
Az "a teaspoonful after meals and at bed
time.
These ingredients may be obtained
from any druggist at small cost and
make a combination that is not only ex-
cellent as fat reducer, being able, it
is claimed, to take off a pound a day
without causing wrinkles, but is also a
splendid help to the system as a whole,
regulating the stomach and bowels
(where the fat persons troubles begin),
and clearing the skin of pimples and
blotches No exercise is required to
help the remedy in it's work and. best
of all. no dieting is necessary while
taking it-you can eat what you like.

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

That heavy, bloated, stuffed-up,
fead-like feeling, which you often ex-
perience after eating a meal, is posi-
tive proof that something is wrong
with your digestive organs They are
becoming weak and tagged out There
is a lack of gastric and other digestive
junces. The food is no longer proper
ly digested 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
a71at 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 develope into
worse forms of dyspepsia and other
stomach troubles, which may have Sc
rious 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 sluggish. The brain becomes
inactive. The nerves becomes I'M
strung. The blood loses its vitality.
The only safe, sure, scientific meth
cd of restoring your stomach to its
healthy. normal state. is to use
act as a substitute in digesting your
food, thus giving your stomach a
much needed rest.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have
stood the tests for years. Thousands
have used them and been cured. Ply
sicians all over the United States rec
ommend them. They are not secret

table essences, pure concentrated tine
ture of hydrastis, golden seal, lactose,
and pure aseptic pepsin. These COM
bined ingredients will digest the coars-
est kind of food and do the work just
as well as any good, strong, healthy
stomach will.
Don't take our word for 1t. Ask

of your friends, who may have used
