Lord Bacon Said,
"Oigest"
This is the Secret of Life in Bust
ness or in Health.

1t Is claimed that Lord Bacon struck
the prime keynote of life when ne
wrote: Some books are to be tasted,
others to be swallowed, and some few
to be chewed and digested-
He wrote of books; many VINO nave
followed him have written likewise of
life. The man who digests his bust
ness, makes success; the actor or ac-
cress who digests his or her art brings
fame; the man who lives life and di-
gests it as he should lives as was the
intention he should live.
1t is not the food you swallow or
taste that brings happiness to you; 1t
is the food you digest.
If you swallow and taste and don't
digest and chew, Nature cannot give
you health, for you do not furnish the
ammunition.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
in pure concentrated form the essences
which, when they reach the stomach,
turn dyspeptic conditions into those
of healthy digestion.
These little tablets are dissolved in
the mouth by saliva; they mix with
this fluid and are passed down into
the stomach, where they Immediately
set to work upon the food and digest
it, They are many times more power
full than the human digestive fluids,
and thus replenish Nature with those
| Juices which sickness, abuse or wrong
| full eating have exhausted.
The worlds best chemists in Europe
and America agree on the ingredients
best adapted to perfect digestion. Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets are these in
Igredients presented to the stomach in
the most pleasant and lasting form.
| Powders and liquids soon lose their
effectiveness through chemical actions
and decay. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab

and their qualities are thus made last

Washington, Sept. 17.-Members
of various state livestock sanitary

here adopted the report of the COM
mittee on the cattle quarantine line,
recommending the reduction of the
area under quarantine in states
where the fight against the cattle
tick has resulted in the freeing of
large portions of territory of the
tick.
There is no change in the lines In
Texas, but the line in Oklahoma Ia
moved slightly southwark. There are
no changes in the line in Louisiana,
Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and
California but in some southeastern
states, where state and federal CO.

results, the line has been pushed
south considerably.

resulted in diminishing the quaran-
