The Stomach Goes
Not Cause dyspepsia
Neither Will 1t Cure II Because
The Lack OF Gastric Juices
Prohibit Relief.

The stomach is a strong, powerful
organ, which is composed of muscles of
great strength. 1t is filled during d.
gestion with gastric juices which. when
the stomach, extending and compress
ing the food, dissolve it and separate
the nourishment from the waste mat
ter. If, however, these gastric juices
are lacking, the stomach is not capable
of digesting it's food because it has not
the tools with which to work success
fully.
The gastric juices when in a per-
feet state do away with all foul odors,
fermentation and decay, reduce the
food to a disintegrated mass and the
stomach then presses it n the In
testines, where another form of diges-
ton takes place. Then the intestines
take from this mass of food all that
is nourishing and give 1t to the blood.
The waste matter is thrown from the
system.
If instead of nourishment the intes-
tines receive impure deposits COM
bined with a poisonous and imperfect
gastric Juice, it can be readily seen that
they must turn such imperfect nour-
ishment into the blood. The blood then
being Unable TO give each part of the
body that which 1t requires, becomes
impoverished and disease is spread
broadcast.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets corrects
such a. condition at once. If the gas
trio juices are lacking and imperfect
these tablets do their work just the
same. They build up the elements in the
Juice which are lacking n remove
those elements which cause disturb

Meat, grains. fluids, vegetables and
d~elicacies, in fact each portion of a
large meal have been placed in a glass
vial and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have digested them to a perfect fluid

SEEK POINT FOR
BIG BRIDGE ACROSS
THE HUDSON RIVER
New Jersey Commissioners to
Tour with Those of
New York.

The members Of the New Jersey In
terstate Bridge Commission, of which
Colonel Anthony R. Kuser, of this city.
was recently appointed chairman, will
meet the members of the New York
Commission in New York tomorrow
and the party will go in seven automo-
biles on a tour Of inspection up and
the side of the Hudson River, up
to 1S1st street, Manhattan, to learn
what point would be best for building
approaches for a bridge across the
river to connect Manhattan with New
Jersey. Engineers of both commits
sions will be in the party.
A bridge from the high ground at
181st street. Manhattan would end at
the New Jersey shore about a mile
above Fort Lee, and it is claimed that
a bridge can be constructed there at
one-tenth of the cost of one built at any
other point. and hat 1t would connect
with the New York subway and with
the Bronx and Westchester county by
the Washington bridge, and that on
the New Jersey shore 1t would reach q
fine residential section and develop il.
A bridge from 1S1st street would con
meet with the New York State road
now being built from New York to Al
bany.
The term of the original New Jersey
Commission expired by limitation, and
Under an act of the Legislature passed
in 1908 Governor Fort recently appoint
ed as members of a new commission
Colonel Anthony r. Kuser, of Newark
of the first New Jersey commission;
Frank B. Long. of Bergen; Edwin B,
Smith, Of Union. and Frederick N.

and Decision in Case Ex=
pected Today.

MANILA, Oct. 1.-The taking of tes-
timony in the case of Lieutenant Frank
t. Evans, of the battleship Louisiana.
court-martialed on a charge of absent
ing himself from his post while officer
of the deck, disrespect to his superior
officer and ~intoxication, was concluded
today. There remains only the sum-
ming up by his counse and the proceed
ings will end tomorrow.
The chief contest by the defense was
against the allegation of intoxication,
and in this respect the evidence is re-
garded as favorable to the accused Off
Ger. Sergeont Andrew r. Wentworth,
of the Louisiana, and Others testified
that Evans, in their opinion. was not
intoxicated.
Lieutenant Evans admitted during
the hearing that he had left the deck

to show that he went below to quell a
slight disturbance.

CLAIMS DAUGHTER
SHE HAS NOT SEEN
IN FQURTEENYEARS

NEW YORK, Oct. Mrs. Flora
Avery reached New York from Spear
fish, S. D., her home, determined to
take back with her her 1~5-year-old
daughter, Myrtle Barber, whom she
saw for the first time in fourteen years
when she had the girl produced in the
Supreme Court on a writ of habeas
corpus.
The story of the child's separation
from her mother and her manifold adj
ventures since, told in court, reads
more like a chapter out of fiction than
a chapter of real experience.
Charles F. Barber, the child's father,
got into trouble with the police here,
but was acquitted of a shooting charge
made against him. While he was in
detention his daughter disappeared.
This was two years ago. At that time
a girl who said her name was Myrtle
Stafford, the name Barber used, was
found wandering and sent to the
Catholic Protectory in Westchester.
Barber told his lawyer that he had
kidnapped the child when an infant
from its mother in Sioux Falls, Ia.
Communication with the authorities
there revealed the fact that Mrs. Barber
had obtained a divorce, and was living
in Spearfield with her second husband,
a man named Avery. She was COM
municated with. and came on here to
claim the girl. She will be given an
opportunity to prove that she is the
girls mother on Friday.

OONS MESSENGERS
UNIFORM IN ORDER
TO STEAL CLOTHES

Through a swlndle, In which a youth
attired as a messenger boy figured,
James McManus, of 116 Walnut street,
was yesterday victimized into losing a
new suit of clothes, a pair of shoes and
a dress suit case.
The boy went to the house yesterday
afternoon during the absence of Nc
Manus and presented a letter purport-
ing to be from the latter, which asked
that the stolen articles be given to the
messenger. His reason for sending the
boy, as shown by the letter, was that
he had been suddenly called to New
York. The clothing and suit case were
handed over without question to the
supposed messenger boy, and when Nc
Manus arrived home he was told. of the
circumstances. The matter was at
once reported to police headquarters,
and a search of TIE secondhand stores
resulted in finding the clothes, which
the dealer said had been left by two
men.

street, and Mrs. Mary Popsumska, of
SIS Kossuth street, appeared in the
Third Precinct Court today accom-
panied by annie Deska, a 2~0-Year-old
deaf girl from Mt. Carmel. Pa, and

a stepmother who illtreated her and
abused her, she said, and some ella
tives in her home town sen her to live
with Mrs. Pinkowski. who boarded
with Mrs Popsumska until a few days
ago.
The women separated a week ago
and each refused to allow the girl to
live with the other. Mrs. Pinkowski
took the girls clothes and about sci
in cash belonging to her and said she
would not give it to her If she stayed
with the other woman.
The girl wanted to stay with Mrs.
Popsumska, so the court ordered Mrs.
Pinkowski to turn over the clothes and
cash to the girl and allow her to choose
her own place of residence.

he had bought It. Mum maintain
Cd his innocence and vas released.
He did not leave the country but re-
turned to the Rocky Ford sugar beet
fields where he was found at work
by Sheriff Potter and his deputies.
He was brought to La Junta but
maintained that he knew nothing Of
the murder. A severe sweating
broke down his story and he finally
IL said to have confessed that he

and he ultimately admitted the en-

SATURDAY. NOVEMBER II. 1908
THE PEOPLE 90 RULE.

After third trial we hope that
Mr.. Bryan Is thoroughly convinced
that the people do rule. States that
elected democratic governors gave
enormous majorities for Taft, and
this. at least. shows conclusiveiy that
want Bryan. II also shows that
party fealty is not as binding as
II has been in years past. Politi-
cal antagonisms are OF less intensity.
and when you get right down to facts
and eliminate the minor clap-trap Of
party platforms. there is very little
II any difference between the two
great parties. Neither democrat or
republican wants a tariff revision
that will upset the business inter.
ests or work hardship upon the
people as a whole. The one ques-
ton, that was important to the peo-
pie in the recent campaign was which
man or which set Of men will carry
on the business OF the government
to the best advantage and that ques-
ton was decided very emphatically y
the American people in favor OF Mr..
Taft. One OF the best election edi-
torials that has been printed ap-
peared In a recent issue Of the Kan
sas City Star. 1t Is worth reading.
Here 1t Is:
The people of the United States
have bestowed on William Howard
Taft the greatest honor and respon-
sibility at their disposal.
"The popular franchise has its
greatest single function in the cleo
ton of the president. aud in per-
forming this function the people have
again ruled with reassuring discrim-
ination.
They have chosen for their next
chief magistrate man who has pass
ed the prime Of his life thus far
In earning this honor, not In seeking
1t.
"Mr. Taft Is not only the best Of
the several candidates nominated for
the presidency. but he is the lest
man, In natural ability. in broad ex-
perience, In specific training. and
especially in familiarity with the
problems and inspirations of the
time, that the country now possess
eB.
Therefore, the congratulations
that are due to Mr.. Taft today are a
mere incident In the result of yester-
days election. The whole nation
must be regarded as unusually for
tunate, not 80 much because of the
election OF Mr. Taft as because Of
the expression of will that his cleo
ton implies.
For. after all, it is not alone the
kind OF a man chosen for the pres
idency that denotes national intelli-
gence and foresight and staLility.
but also the things he represents in
an impersonal way.
1.-THE election of Mr.. Taft is only
the last OF number Of great strides
the nation has taken in recent years.
IN 10 uolaosls puv uopvuIWou euL
Roosevelt four years ago were
triumphs for progressive policies.
The check that was put on those
policies In the last session OF con
gress was brief. The people would
not stand for retrogression. Mr..
Taft's first great victory was In Sc
curing the nomination for the pres
idency against the combined oppo-
sition of all the agencies that the re-
dictionary leaders could command.
His election is a still greater
triumph, for 1t must be remembered
that he won over strong, popular
leader who has also stood for pro
gressive policies"

Prohibition in Virginia.

The Saturday Evening Post, of Phil
adelphia. January 18th, 1908, has this
to say If the conditions in Virginia:
out of one hundred and forty incor-
porated towns one hundred and twenty
are dry: out of nineteen cities six are
dry. There are but thirty-three mu-
inequalities in the state where the open
saloon exists. OF the ten hundred and
sixty saloons two-thirds are, in four
counties around Richmond and Nor
folk.
In the forty-six no-license counties
the criminal expenses for 1906 averaged
eighty-two mills for each inhabitant;
the twenty-siX modified license coun-
ties averaged ninety-one mills. The
saloon counties averaged one hundred
and thirty nine mills, a ratio which
increased as the facilities for getting
liquor increased. Criminal expenses
of the dry cities averaged two hundred
and eleven mills, wet cities four hun
dred and ten. Criminal expenses for
the five strongest temperance coun-
ties averaged forty-five mills; for the
five strongest whiskey counties two
hundred and ninety-siX mills. The
criminal expenses in Norfolk county
alone were greater than in thlrty-slX
dry counties combined.
PRISONERS IN PENITENTIARY
46 dry counties, l prisoner to every
5122 people. :
&c modified license counties, l pris-
oner to every 1862 people.
2S wet counties, l prisoner to every
2913 people
The ratio of convicts rises as the
saloons increase. Liquor men say this
is mere cOncidence-Of the same
kind possibly as rise in the thermom-
eter when the sun gets hot.
And this of West Virginia
There are fifty-five counties in the
