ROOSEVELT A "DREAM FAKER."

''President Roosevelt is dual gen.

sort-a dream faker,' says Colonel
Alexander S. Bacon of New York. in
letter of sympathy to Rev. William
}. Long, the naturalist whom Mr..
Roosevelt denounced as mature ia
kerr
'You take the president too seri-
ously," says Colonel Bacon, in his
letter. "He is not half as black as he
paints himself. Nature faker, molly
coddle and liar are merely the phrases
of barker, alluring the public into
an Elusive sideshow. They are not
serious. If you would study wild ami
mails in their native woods less and
study press agents more you would
understand freaks better.
"You misunderstood our president.
Words withhim merely portray dreams,
not facts. He belongs to the purely
idealistic, not to the realistic school of
writer's. Only dreamers can appreci.
ate dreamers. If you but knew the
president Intimately, Mr.. Long, you
would not condemn him. He is not so
blood-thirsty as he seems.
"Above all the president does abhor
faker, but his adherence goes no
farther than words. A barking dog
never bites. The president banks at
the wicked trusts but you will notice
that none of them die of rabies. The
big stick is welded fercely until the
campaign contributions are duly
vouched for; then it rests peacefully
iE the simple life.
''Roosevelt and Napoleon were both
geniuses, both were the greatest men
that ever lived-they admit teach

Napoleon differs from his modern pro-

fought battles, killed people and en-
tailed misery on the world, while Mr..
Roosevelt is a harmless soldier in that

The Stomach Does
 Not Cause Dyspepsia
Neither Will It Cure 1t Because the Lack of Gastric Juices
 Prohibit Relief

The stomach is strong, powerful organ. which is composed of muscles of great strength. It is filled during digestion with gastric juices which, when the stomach. extending and compressing the food, dissolve it and separate the nourishment from the waste matter. If, however, these gas tric juices are lacking, the stomach is not capable of digesting it's food because it has not the tools with which to work successfully.
 The gastric juices when in a per feet state do away with all foul odors, fermentation and decay, reduce the food to a disintegrated mass and the stomach then presses it into the intestines where another ferm of di gestiOn takes place. Then the intes- tines take from this mass of food all that is nourishing and give it to the blood The waste matter is thrown from the system.
 If instead of nourishment the in- testines receive impure deposits com bined with poisonous and imper- feet gastric juice, it can be readily seen that they must turn such inn perfect nourishment into the blood. The blood then being unable to give each part of the body that which it requires, becomes impoverished and disease is spread broadcast.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets corrects such a condition at once. If the gastric juices are lacking and imper- feet these tablets do their work just the same. They build up the ele ments in the juice which are lacking and remove those elements which cause disturbance.
 Meat, grains, fluids, vegetables and delicacies, in fact each portion of a large meal have been placed in glass vial and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have digested them to per fect fluid just as a healthy stomach would do.
 A large complex, hearty meal holds no terrors for a dyspeptic if Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are used. Abnor- nal eating, late dinners, rich foods cause i'll effects to the stomach, but when Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are used one may eat when and what one will without danger of dyspepsia or discomfort.
 Forty thousand physicians endorse and prescribe Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and every druggist carries them in stock. price soc. Send us your name and address and we will send you at once by mail sample package free. Address F. A. Stuart Co, 15O Stuart Bldg, Marshall, Mich.

sent up for one year and says that on his discharge he came back to Phoenix, helped burglarize the depot and planned the robbery of the Hil- derbran jewelry store but gave up the enterprise on account of the faint heartedness of his accpnplice. If the Tucson charge does not stick against him he may be brought to Phoenix for trial on the other charge. He is something of a problem to. the authorities, who would like to pun. ish him and cannot for the reason that the pen has no terrors; in fact life within it is his preference.
