suit Of Senator Proctor's Death

WASHINGTON, March s.. The Taft
workers win make d new move for the
delegates from Vermont as a result Of
the death of Senator Proctor Because
Of the latter's leadership in the state,
they have been confning themselves TO
personal work with him, and at times
thought they were in a way to succeed.
Some others of the congressional dele,

Senator Proctor had continued to
work in accord with other New England
congressman against instructions. It ii
probable that some aspirants for the

Man Is As Old
 As His Stomach ''
This Persian Epigram Is the Real
 Gauqe of Mans Life

The Persians were a very sagaeious people, noted among other things for their deep thinking on life and the things which make up life.
 The above epigram shows the wisdom of their thought.
 When mans stomach is able to fur nish new material to the system as fast or faster than the natural decay of man requires then such a man lives his fullest and his best.
 When through wrong living or disease a mans stomach begins to tax the other organs and takes from the blood strength which it cannot give back in nourishment taken from food, then begins the death of man and he decays fast. The stomach is strong, splendidly strong, and can stand an untold amount of abuse and neglect but when it dies man dies.
 The stomach gives tons upon tons of good rich blood every year to the sys- tenn and draws only 6S0 pounds of nour- ishment for it's own use. If however the food which it receives cannot be turned into blood which is capable of use by the body, then the stomach receives 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 poison ous juices of a sick stomach and digest food in spite of this handicap.
 They will stop gas making and bad breath They tone up the nerves of the whole digestive canal. including those of the stomach.
 single ingredient contains strength enough to digest 5000 times it's weight in mixed food.
 They have stood the test of time and to- day are more sought after than all their i1nitators combined
 They are used and indorsed by 10000 physicians Every druggist sells them, price BOG. It costs nothing to demonstrate their value. Send us your name and ad- dress and we will send you a trial pack age by mail free. Address F. A Stuart Co, 15O Stuart Bldg. Marshall. Mich
