Remember that when the Stomach
nerves fail or weaken, Dyspepsia or
Indigestion must always follow.
But, strengthen these same weak in
side nerves with DR. Shops Restora-
tive, and then see how quickly
health will again return. Weak
Heart and Kidney rerves can also
be strengthened with the Restorative
where Heart pains, palpitation, or
Kidney weakness is found. Don't
drug the Stomach, nor stimulate the
Heart or Kidneys. That is wrong.
Go to the cause of these ailments.
Strengthen these weak inside nerves
with DR. Shoop's Restorative and get
well. A simple, single test will
surely tell. D G Scott.

the oldest and best known citi'
zens of our county, died at Trio

advanced age of seventy-eight
years. He had been suffering
for some time with an iucurable
malady and his death was not
unexpected.

at the Williamsburg cemetery
on Tuesday afternoon at five
o'clock, Rev E f Erwin being
the officiating minister. A large
crowd of relatives and friends
gathered to pay their last trib-
ute to the deceased.
Mr. Martin was in some res
poets a remarkable man. Quiet
and unassuming he lived the
simple life, although with his
keen intelligence and well-stor'
ed mind, added to the fact that
he had acquired a goodly por.
ton of this worlds goods, he
might have achieved prominence
in almost any avenue of life he
elected to pursue. But his ma.
ture was modest and retiring
and one had to know him we'll to
appreciate him at his true worth,
He had the respect of all with
whom he associated and his
death is sincerely mourned by
those among whom he moved in
his daily life.
Mr. Martin never married and

The Americans who have a small show

A Genuine Ada Democrat.

There were but three precincts in Ada county which
elected genuinely democratic delegates to the Ada
