Torturing Animals
To Assist Science

Is Cruel Method to Follow, But
1t Has Saved Many Human Lives
Prof. Pawlow, or Russia, was en-
gaed for many years in experimental
work, trying TO learn the workings
of digestion, especially the digestive
glands.
He, with able assistants, operated
upon dogs, cats, guinea pigs and 9TH
er animals.
His methods were seemingly pain
ful, but he gave to science a work
which won the Nobel prize and made
for him an undying fame.
Science penetrated the secrets or
nature. Prof. Pawlow saw animals
digest food. He analyzed juices from
every part of the digestive canal
and stomach under all conditions of
digestion. He spent years of cease
less study amid the bowling and
dying beasts, but he won, and sci
ence today looks upon him as a great
man.
"To do a great right do a little
wrong" Shakespeare said, and Prof.
Pawlow obeyed this trite saying.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are pre-
pared by the most scientific process.
They are produced by modern appli-
ances, and meet the demand of the
goth century chemistry.
They give man the means to correct
his infrmities of stomach and digest
i've organs.
They enrich the blood, give nature
the juices and fluids she lacks, stop
the formation of noxlous gases and
the fermentation OF food. They
neutralize powerful acids and alkalies
which irritate and devour the stom-
ach. They prevent and relieve bow
el and intestinal trouble and soothe
the nerves.
They should be used after every
meal whether one has dyspepsia and
stomach trouble or the stomach be
naturally healthy. BY their use one
may eat at all hours and whatever
one desires and they help the system
digest or throw off such food. They
are thoroughly meritorious as their
tremendous sale and popularity illus
! trate.
Every drug store has them for

eight thousand people, was the first
speaker of the afternoon. He said
in part:
"There is about three-fourths less
drinking than when we had the
open saloon. They say we're bOnl-
ing the town to sweep our streets.
We never had our streets swept be-
fore the town was dry unless the
owners themselves did It. We've
bonded our town just as other towns
have done. We've built a big sewer
improved streets and have bought a
lot on which we expect to build a

A. $. Young, a merchant Of East
Liverpool opened his remarks by
reading a telegram which ne haI
received upon arriving in Marion. It
was sent On Saturday night from a
fellow townsman of his and read as
follows:
"Busincss so good tonight could
hHrdiy wait on customers. Like a
might before Christmas" He met
their mayor while on his way to
the tra5n and the mayor said to him
II hope saloons will never get back
into East Liverpool" Their former
mayor says that duriug his regime
he usually had about twenty ontnd-
eIs in police court on Monday morn
ing while the town was wet, and
had three or four after 1T was dry.
A leading grocer Clso stated to him
in writing that the months OF Sep
tember. October and November, 1907,
were the best in his business career
OF tweaty-four years. Another

ed from $3.50 per month to $1,000 in
the same length Of time.
The representative nom Ashland

He said: 1T never hurt my busi-

HARDNESS OF DIAMONDS.
The Stones Can Be Forced by Pres
sure into Steel Blocks.

A word as to the hardness OF dta
monds. They vary much In this re
spect Even different parts OF tht
same crystal differ In their resistaRct
to cutting and grinding, So hard Is
diamond In comparison to glass that q
suitable splinter OF diamond will plane
curls off n glass plate as a carpenters
tool will plane shavings of deal
board. Another experiment that Will
illustrate its hardness Is to place n
diamond on the tiattened end OF a
conlcal block Of steel and upon II
bring another similar cone OF steel II
force them together with hydraulic
power, can force the stone into the
steel blocks without injuring the dia'
mond In the least. The pressure which
have brought to bear in this expert
ment has been equal to ITO tons a
square inch of diamond.
The only serious rival of the diamond
In hardness Is the metal tantalum. In
an attempt TO bore hole through a
plate of this metal diamond drill
was used, revolving at the rate Of
5000 revolutions a minute. This whirl
ing force was continued ceaselessly for
three days and nights, when 1t was
found that only small point one
fourth of u milllmeter deep had been
drilled, and it was moot point which
had suffered most damage, the dia
mond or the tantalum.
After exposure for some time to the
sun many diamonds glow In a dark
room. One beautiful green diamond In
my collection when phosphoresclng in
a vacuum gives almost as much light
as a candle. and you can easily read by
its rays. But the time has hardly come
when we can use diamonds as domes.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Aug. lS,-
That the mob spirit has not been en-
tirely subdued in Springfield was evi-
denced last night and early today
when despite the presence of thous-
ands of militiamen there were spora-
die outbursts OF lawleSsmeSs in many
sections OF the city.
None OF them was serious, howev-
er, being confined to disturbances
caused by groups OF two or three
men.
The center of the trouble was Har-
yard Park, suburb where twice dur
ing the night patrols were fired up
on from ambush, Troops were rush
ed to the scene both times and dur
ing the second shot fired from an
alley struck the sword scabbard of
Lieutenant Ridgeway. The shooteres-
saped.
The first disturbance followed an
attack upon Tom Richardson, bro

been inmates of the Jacksonville asy-
lum, and that their arrest was a mea-

Five men were arrested at 9Th and
Ash streets. Two hundred dollars re-
ward for evidence leading to convic-
ion IN each of the cases OF violent
death during the rioting in this city
is offered by Governor Deneen. The
Governor, who is determined to pun
ish all proven to have participated in
the deeds of violence, last night issued
SIX proclamations, one covering each |
of the cases Of death resulting from
the race outbreak The same re-
ward is offered in each instance and
and it is hoped to secure the evidence /
necessary to convict the leaders re-
sponsible for the cries.
Plans. for the prosecution OF all who .
had anything to do with the riots
have been completed by the city and |
