The dog pound, situated on the river

In fact, the dog pound is a wreck.
The transfer steamer Huron came
lurching along that way Saturday

time for the CANNES within, most OF
which recovered from their fright In
time to get away, however.
The police department Is now tenn

common council has been asked to
appropriate money to repair the place.
This request goes to the committee on

KRAMER WILL

Judge Donovan handed down de-
cision, Tuesday morning. In which he
refused to set aside the deed by which
John Kramer. during his lifetime pub
Usher of the Volksblatt. a German
paper, conveyed to his daughter, Jose
phine. the family homestead.
The suit was started by Louis Kra-
mer and her brothers, who claimed
that Josephine got more than her
share of the property and that undue
influence was used with the testator.
Judge Donovan found that for % years
before his death John Kramer was a
widower, and that his daughter. Jose
phine, acted as a mother for the chill
dren, and for her faithfulness had
been promised by her father that she
would be placed beyond want. He
held also, that the father was
capable of making will. and that no
undue influence was used.
The estate was worth about STE, 900
and the children shared equally with
exception Of the plaintiff, who was
given the old home.

Man IS As Old
As His Stomach"
This Persian Epigram Is the Real
Gauge Of A Mans Life.

The Persians were very sagacious
people. noted among other things. for
their deep thinking on life and the
things which make up life.
The above epigram shows the wis
dom OF their thought.
When mans stomach is able to
furnish new material to the system as
last or faster than the natural decay
of man requires, then such a man
lives bis fullest and his best.
When through wrong living or dis
ease a mans stomach begins to tax
the other organs and takes from the
blood strength which II cannot give
back In nourishment taken from food.
then begins the death OF man and he
decays fast. The stomach Is strong.
eplendidly strong. and can stand an
untold amount OF abuse and neglect.
bpt when II dies, man dies
The stomach gives tons upon tons Of
good rich blood every year TO the sys-
TEN and draws only $50 lbs. OF nour-
ishment for its own use. IL, however,
the food which II receives cannot be
turned into blood which Is capable of
use by the body. then the stomach re-
ceives no help from the other organs.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the most perfect digestive qualities
known TO science and at the same
time the most powerful. They will
mix with the poisonous juices Of a
sick stomach and digest food in spite
OF this handicap.
