unavailing.

Forest Service estimate that the to-

National Forests fcr the season, ex-
elusive of the salaries of forest Of

Common Sense
And a Tablet
Do Away with Dyspepia, Stomach
Trouble and Make Meals a
Pleasure

When your stomach goes on a
strike and mass meetings of indigna-
tion are held all over your body, then
1t is that you should sit up and
take notice.
1t Is clearly and only question
of common sense-is this thing called
Dyspepsia. Take away, by abuse, ov-
er eating. eXcesses and high living
the things which the stomach needs
and you have dyspepsia and indi.
gestion; then other maladies follow
these-this is common sense.
The stomach is willing enough but
you won't let 1t do It's work. You
take away the materials which are so
necessary for it to use.
Give back these materials and 6ys-
pepsia and indigestion flee and the
whole machinery of/fnan begins slow
yto move and ~ its work.
What the stomach needs. is nerve
force fluids fo/ its digestive glands,
nourishment And power. All these
necessities II takes from the blood.
If dyAep/a give nothing TO the
DlOOd, w blood gives nothing TO the
stomaclf
This Is common sense also pure,
simple and unalloyed.

blood and thus give it strength to
furnish a better. fluid for digesting
the next meal. Every physician
knows what comprises these tablets:

INTEREST is FOCUSED
ON RECENT FOREST FIRES

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE forest
fires which have Just laid waste
whole counties in Minnesota, Michi
gan, and extended into Wisconsin,
destroying many towns and maxi
ing thousands of persons homeless,
have focused the attention of both
government and state forest officers
on the enormous losses OF forest
wealth which will be checked up
to the year 1908.
In the whole northern half of the
United States throughout the vast
territory extending from coast to
coast, the reported destruction by
forest fires has been terrific and it is
likely that the year will go down
as one of the worst I'M the last
quarter century. 1t seems that no
part of the country has escaped
the work OF devastating flames. The
latest disasters in Minnesota, Michi
gan, and Wisconsin are the worst Of
the many that have visited the Lake
States this year Other sections have
