THE ANNIHILATlON OF DIS
TANCE.

How much nearer to each other
the nations of the world are today
than they were a few decades ago
When weeks and months were re-
auired to get news from across the
ocean the old world seemed to be
a long way off. Now the whole earth
is belted with telegraph and cable
lines, and yesterdays happenings In
Europe, Asia, Africa, South America
Australia and the islands of the sea
are read at this mornings breakfast
table. Distance is annihilated and
the nations are becoming friendly
neighbors in consequence. The mar
velous change is brought home to
the mind most strikingly upon read
ing a great modern newspaper whose
telegraphic news covers the whoie
world each day-a paper such as
The Chicag Record-Herald, which has
a veritable army of correspondents
in every important city. In addition
to its own staff OF correspondents
The Record Herald has the benefit
of the foreign news service OF the
New York Herald, famous for It's
World wide cable system and for the
reliability of its foreign news; also

Acid And AIkaIi
 In The Stomach
Digests the Food Naturally If In Right Proportion; If Not; Then
 Dyspepsia

Acid and alkan make up the liquid known as gastric juice, which digests your food.
 If through abuse of the stomach or weakness of blood or through scores of other causes this gastric juice is not made up correctly of acid and alkali, your stomach cannot digest food.
 Such stomach then acts as a pit where the food lies, ferments, decays, is thrown off at last, either into the intestines or is vomited from the system.
 If thrown into the intestines a large proportion of it is taken up and passed into the blood, for the ntestines are cov- cred on the inside surfaces with millions of little mouths which are placed there to suck up nourishment for the blood
 You may readily see that if instead of good rich nourishment there Is vile, pois- onous, fermented bile anG acid, these same little mouths suck some of it by necessity and pass it into the blood. The blood in turn throws it off and the sys- tenn is immediately placed In an imperfect state.
 The blood is weakened, the tissues lose strength, the skin becomes diseased and man in general suffers in a score of places.
 Then again the blood furnishes gas- tric juice to the stomach, for when the gastric juice is not needed for digestive
  food comes into the stomach the nerves along the Allmentary Canal and in the mouth signal the brain for help, and the blood immediately furnishes sufficient gas- tric juice to do the work we'll and quickly.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets go into the stomach, balance the gastric juice digest the food, are taken up by the blood, puri- fes it, and when the food comes again to the stomach d natural gastric juice of right proportion greets 1t and does it's work perfectly. After time these little tablets restore Nature. build up the gas- trie juice and there is no longer dys- pepsia.
 Every druggist carries them in stock, price Soc: every druggist and 40.000 physi- clans will attest their word to the merit of these tablets. Buy a box now and relieve your stomach at once. or send us your name and address today and we will send you immediately by mail a sample package free. Address F. A. Stuart Co.,, 15o Stuart Bldg.

 E. c. Goldsmith ana I. '. Mackey are also making an active canvass, the friends of each claiming a victory for their choice.
 The race for the juudgeship of the in- ferior court has been characterized so far by the total absence of mud-slinging and dirty politics.

Constitutional Amendment.

There is evinced in Dallas county con- siderable interest in the three amend ments that are to be submitted to the peo- pie on Tuesday next. The anti-hew coun- ty advocates are making some headway in their campaign against the amendment which seeks mainly to divide Jefferson county, but it is practically assured that the majority of votes in Dallas will go for the amendment.
 As to the biennial sessions of the legis- lature this amendment will get but few votes here if the talk heard can be taken as evidence. In the matter of the Overton good roads amendment the vote will be closer than on either of the other three. The chances are that Dallas will give an adverse vote for this amendment. There are a number of voters who will vote against all three amendments just on the principal that it is bad policy to tinker with the fundamental law, but it is most likely that one of the amendments will prevail and two will fail.
