Acid and Alkali
In the Stomach
Digest the Food Naturally if
in Right Proportion; if Not,
Then Dyspepsia

Acid and alkali make up the liquid
known as gastric juice, which digests
your food.
If through abuse of the stomach, or
weakness of blood or through scores OF
other causes this gastric juice is not
made up correctly of acid and alkali,
your stomach cannot digest food.
Such a stomach then acts as pit
where the food lies, ferments, decays,
is thrown off at last, either into the
intestines or is vomited from the sys-
teni.
If thrown into the intestines large
proportion of it is taken up and passed
into the blood, for the intestines are
covered on the inside surfaces with
millions of little mouths which are
placed there to suck up noruishment
for the blood.
You may readily see that If instead
of good rich nourishment there is vile,
poisonous, fermented bile and acid,
these same little mouths suck some of
1t by necessity and pass it into the
blood. The blood in turn throws 1t off
and the system is Immediately placed
in an imperfect state.
The blood is weakened, the tissues
lose strength, the skin becomes diseased
and man in general suffers in a score
of places.
Then again the blood furnishes gas
trio juice to the stomach, for when the
gastric juice is not needed for digestive
purposes it goes back to the blood.
When food comes into the stomach the
nerves along the Alimentary Canal and
in the mouth signal the brain for help,
and the blood Immediately furnishes
sufficient gastric juice to do the work
well and quickly.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets go into
the stomach, balance the gastric juice,
digest the food, are taken up by the
blood, purify 1t, and when the food
comes again to the stomach a natural
gastric juice of right proportion greets
1t and does its work perfectly. After
time these little tablets restore Ma
ture, build up the gastric juice and
there is no longer dyspepsia.
Every druggist carries them in stock,
price soc; every druggist and 10000 ply
sicians will attest their word to the
merit of these tablets. Buy a box now
and relieve your stomach at once, or
send us your name and address today
and we will send you Immediately by
mail sample package free. Address

would be incompetent and immaterlal
and hearsay.
1.-THE foreman of the grand jury made
an affidavit, which was presented tc
the court and filed, in which the pro-
ceedings had before the grand jury al
the time the witness Woolwine was ex-
amined were set forth, and upon that
affidavit a citation was issued directing
said Woolwine to appear ana snow
cause why an order should not be
made requiring him to answer the ques-
tions before the grand jry to whlch ne
had refused to make response. upon
the return day respondent appeared
and made his answer, admitting the
correctness of the facts set out in the
affidavit of the foreman of the grand
jury. He, however, at that time
claimed that the complete record of his
testimony was not given, and that there
were other matters material to his de-
fense which should be shown. Leave
was accordingly granted him to file an
affidavit setting out such additional
facts, which he did not later day.
Foreman's Affidavit
"The affidavit of the foreman of the
Jury set forth all matters which are
material for consideration upon this
proceeding. The additional matter fur
nished by the affidavit of Mr.. Woolwine
in no wise affects the questions here
to be determined, and the additional
matter therein contained is wholly i'm
material. 1t consists largely OF the
record of statements made by the wit
ness to the grand jury, wherein, before
he was interrogated, Nhe insisted upon
the right to make some explanation or
argument to the jury. 1T was the right
of the jury to cause the witness 10 pc
sworn and to compel hin to answer all
legally competent and pertinent ques-
tions. 1t was his right, and that rlght
was not denied him, to refuse to an
swer any questions which were not
within the authority of the jury to ask
and to state the grounds of his obJec-
ton and refusal to answer. 1t does ap-
pear by the affidavit of the foreman OF
the grand jury that these grounds were
specifically and fully stated"
Judge James then quotes the afndaVit
of Foreman Jones of the grand jury IN
full. and continuing, says:
"It appears from this affidavit that
the witness was a deputy city attorney
and city prosecuting officer of the city
of Los Angeles; that he had, in the
presence of the jury, stated that vice
was being protected in the city OF
Los Angeles; that upon being asked
to give the jury his knowledge upon
that subject, or information which he
might have as to witnesses who might
aid the jury in prosecuting an investi-
cation in that behalf, he refused to
answer. The ground of his refusal

The report says that whenever
greater state revenue is required
direct inheritance tax is proper source
from which to obtain the same and
collection of business tax from foreign
corporations doing business in this
state is recommended. Methods for the
appraisal and taxation of timber and
timber lands different from those now IN
force are discussed and immediate
legislative action on this subject is
urged. Four members OF the commits
sion recommend that no change be made
at present in the taxation of insurance
companies and the public service cor
porations.
Messrs Pierce and Olmstead are OF the
opinion that the present law giving the
option to railroads to pay tax based
upon their gross earnings, instead OF
upon the appraised valuation OF their
property, is an unjust discrimination in
favor of such corporations and should
be repealed These two commissioners
also recommend that a state tax be
assessed upon the franchise and proper
tv of railroads at a rate to be ascertain
ed by dividing the total amount OF
taxes levied by the total appraised value
of property and polls entered in the
grand lists. They also recommend a
graduated income tax.

A Daring Feat.

Something Terrible" was the only
fitting title that could be bestowed up
on an unprecedented act of intrepidness
and daring that is this season being
performed with Cole Brothers World
Toured Shows, which will exhibit in St.
Iohnsbury on Wednesday, August II.
1t can be said that the very limit of
death deiying has been reached IN its
perfection and that twice daily the fear
less Mons. Eugene Richie actually takes
his lite in his hands in its performance.
No more thrilling act has ever been at
tempted and a more perfect control OF
nerves and muscles was never attained
by any person than is required in this
deathinviting feature.
Seated upon an ordinary bicycle,
Mons. Richie from height of 100 feet,
rides pell-mell down a narrow ladder
140 feet in length, which abruptly ter
inmates 80 feet from the ground. At
this point intricate but necessarily re-
liable mechanism seizes and that instant
stops the wheel, while the momentum
obtained by the S0-mile an hour descent
sends the rider shooting upward and
forwardinto space with the force of an
object propelled from a powerful cata-
put To the very top OF the massive
tent flies the human rocket and then for
an instant he may be seen gathering
himself together for his downward
fight. This he accomplishes by throw
ing a double twisting somersault, land
ing gracefully in strong net elevated a
short distance from the ground. But Is
seconds are consumed in the presenta-
ton of this hair.raising feat and as
Mons Richie receives $3.50 for each per-
Torrance he earns $40 a second while at
work. From these figures it can readily
be seen that the claim made by Martin
j. Cole, proprietor of Cole Brothers
Shows, to have the highest salaried at
fractions in the world this year, is well
founded. Mons Richie will positively
appear at every performance.

out the state at not more than 10 per
cent of its value, and as a result the
state school and highway taxes yield in
the aggregate $4,000 less each year
than would be the case if the law were
complied with. AS to personal prop
erty, the commissioners say the condi-
tons are even worse.
The state commission suggested by
the report would have control of all
administrative matters relating to
taxation tor state purposes, with super
visory powers over the listers and with
authority to equalize their appraisals.
1t would also have power to appraise
the stocks and bonds of domestic cor
porations which are now appraised by
the listers, and would be charged with
the duty OF formulating blank nven-
tories for the use of the taxpayers. The
report finds that the law regulating the
appraisal of stocks in domestic corpora
lions is practically imperative, and
that such stock largely escapes taxa
ton. 1t is recommended that separate
appraisals be made of land and of
buildings thereon; and the individual
inventories Of the taxpayers be filed for
public inspection before the completion
of the grand list; that the listers be
given authority to subponea witnesses
upon the question of whether any tax
payer has made complete inventory of
his taxable estate; that the discount for
payment of local taxes be abolished,
and that all taxes be paid in full on or
before the day fixed and that an interest
penalty be added for delays in payment.

Special Tax Report.

Law Compiled With In Only Per Cent. Of
Assessments-School Taxes are Too Small
by SIS, o00-Inheritance, Corporation and
Income Taxes Advocated.
Frequent and fragrant violations of
the tax laws, both by listers and by tax
payers, and too low appraisal of prop
ertv throughout the state are charged in
the report submitted at Montpelier re-
Gently to Gov. Fletcher D. Proctor by
the Vermont commission on taxation,
appointed by the governor in accordance
with an act of the Legislature of 1906.
The commission is composed of o. M.
Barber of Bennington, John H. Senter of
Montpelier, George W. Pierce of Brattle-
boro, A. A. Olmstead of Newbury, l..
P Slack of St. Johnsbury, and Ernest
Hitchcock of Pittsford. The commission
recommends the creation of state tax
commission of three members in place of
the present single commissioner, the adj
ditional taxation of intangible property,
and many amendments designed to
strengthen the present tax laws. The
report declares that less than per cent
of all the inventories on file are filled out
as required by law, that many taxpayers
file no inventories, and that if the law
imposing penalty of 5000 upon a lister
for accepting an inventory not properly
made out were enforced the forfeiture
thus incurred for 1907 alone would
amount to more than $20,000,000.

Our Ideals.

The CALIFORNIAN enters upon its
seventy-second volume today and since it
was founded it has had but three editors.
1t was established as wing paper in
1887 by A. G. Chadwick and in 1855,
when it had become supporter of the
republican party, it was sold to c. NJ.
Stone. George D. Rand was associated
with Mr.. Stone for two years, but the
latter was its editor for 35 years. Upon
c. NJ. Stones death ia 1890 the editor
ship of the paper passed to his eldest
son, who trusts that the paper still full
fills the high ideals OF its founder as ex
pressed in these virile words:
THE CALIFORNIAN will advocate and
sustain the interests of the Wing party,
so far as they shall tend to promote the
good of the people, the protection of
American industry, strict accountability
to the people of public servants, and the
cause of temperance and equal rights.
Our press shall be free; free to discuss all
subjects which relate to our freedom as
nation from tyranny in every form.
To be free as a people we must drink
deep of the spirit OF Christianity, be
clothed in its strength; its high and
holy influence must be the spring of all
our motives and actions; we must par
ticipate largely IN its nature and receive
its principles into our hearts. To be
free we must be intelligent; to be free we
must exercise the high prerogatives OF
free men, the personal right to inquire,
examine and exercise our own judgment
on every subject which has a relation to
the present and future interests OF
humanity"

Judge Hall of ST. Adams.

The June term of Caledonia county
court, which adjourned without date
Saturday, was presided over by Judge
Alfred A. Hall of St. Adams. This was
his first appearance at our court and he
is assured of a most cordial welcome
whenever the assignment brings him
here again. The attorneys, the officers
of the court and the jurors were charmed
with his uniform courtesy, and he ex-
pedited the business of the court wher-
ever possible. He advanced a new idea,
which will appeal to all as most sensi-
BILE one, that cases which had been on
the docket for some time must be dis
posed of next term or else discontinued.
In this way the docket will be cleared OF
cases that have been carried over from
term to term at an expense to the liti-
giants. Seventy-nine cases were disposed
of at this term, larger number than
usual. In the list were nine jury trials
and 10 divorce cases.
