ACTUAL STARVATION
The Enterprise Drug Store Gives Facts
 Regarding Indigestion.

Although indigestion and dyspepsia are so prevalent, most people do not thoroughly understand their cause and cure. There is no reason why peo- pie should not eat anything they de- sire-if they will only chew it care fully and thoroughly. Many actually starye themselves into sickness through fear of eating every good looking, good-smeliing and good-tast- ing food, because It does not agree with then.
 Dieting cannot cure dyspepsia. If we refuse every arricle Of food that disagrees with Us. before long We have nothing left. and find ourselves chronic dyspeptcs.
 We can cure dyspepsia. We are so confident of this fact that we guaran- tee a cure and promise to supply the medicine free of all cost to everyone who will use it, who is not perfectly satisfied with the results which it produces. We exact no promises, and put no one under any obligation whatever. Surely nothing could be fairer. We are located right here in Forrest City, and our reputation should be sufficient assurance of the genuineness of our offer.
 We want everyone in Forrest City who is troubled with indigestion or dyspepsia in any form to come to our store and get box of Rexall Dyspep- sia Tablets. Take them home and give them reasonable trial according 10 directions. They are very pleasant to take: they soothe the irritable stomach, strengthen and invigorate the digestive organs, promote a healthy and natural bowel action. i'm mediatly relieve nausea and all stom- ach irritation, produce perfect and healthy digestion and assimilation, and promote nutrition.
 \ 25c package of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets furnishes l5 days treatment In ordinary cases this is sufficient t( produce q cure. In more chronic cases, longer treatment, of course is necessary, and depends upon the SC yerity of the trouble. For such cases We have two larger sizes which sel for 45c and s9c.

Neblett's stores, and had just alighted and had the reins in her hand when an Iron Mountain engine peeped around the corner of Ms. War shavskys store. which is just two doors further out. The horse became frightened, and tried U move on west s but Mrs. Hodges plucky little woman that she is, fearing that the animal would get wedged in the narrow space between the track and the buildings, gave him hard pull to the left, and turned him loose. There was a brake man ot trainman riding on the pilot of the engine, but il is stated that he made no effort to get of and assist Mrs. Hodges, which he could easily and should have done. MT. Harry Thomas saw the danger and was hur- rying to her assistance, but she was not aware of his near approach, or she would have held the animal moment longer and there would have been no | occasion for this item, so she did | right in turning him loose. The fren. zied horse ran down Front, up Wash ington, out Jackson, and as he made the turn at Rosser, ran between two poles, and demolished the buggy, leaving the wreck behind and pro. ceeding upon his mad career The ve. hicle is total loss, MT.

circuit imposing fines on the Chicago,

shipments of packers products in
tended for export.
The decision was announced by
Justice Day and his announcement
was concurred in by Justices Harlan,

chief justice and Justices Brewer and
Peckman dissented in an opinion an
nounced by Justice Brewer which
pungently criticised the controlling

CLIMATE is IDEAL
GREAT WEALTH ACQUIRED IN
GROWING GRAIN.

Writing from Saskatoon, Saskatche-
wan, Canada, w. H. Ellwanger, who.
was formerly a resident of Green
Mountain, Iowa, says: ''The climate,
in summer is ideal for growing grain.
Long, clear days of sunshine. no bad
storms. We never need to guard
against cyclones; l never saw a better
climate in my life. We made more
money during the season of 1906 than
any previous five years In central
Iowa-one of the best districts in the
state" But Mr.. Ellwanger was a resi-
dent of the town, and it might be more
interesting to read what farmer has.
to say about Western Canada. From
hundreds Of letters all filled with
words of praise, recounting success in
Western Canada there has beeu one
selected. 1t is as follows:
Paynton, Sask.. Canada,
Dec. 10th, 1907.
To Whom This May Concern:
l moved to this address February 8,
1907, from Montgomery, Iowa, and
took a homestead 35 miles north of
Paynton. 1t was cold when | moved
here but it did not stay cold long; it
broke up the Sth of February, and was
not SO cold after that but the spring
was late on account of the heavy snow
fall, but in spite of the late spring |
saw better grain than l ever saw in
the states, raised this year. l helped
a man finish sowing oats the 4th of
July and they made fair oats. In a
good year oats will go 100 bushels to.

crops do we'll here. l saw turnips weigh
and s pounds. raised potatoes this
year that measured 111s inches

conference. This is fine stock coun-
try; hay in abundance, good water,
plenty of fuel, free and plenty of
building material-the government
gives us timber to saw into lumber
and we can get it sawed for about
$500 per thousand. All small fruit
grows wild here, then there are ducks,
geese, grouse, pheasants, deer, moose,
elk and fish in abundance. was over
to Turtle Lake yesterday where there
is lots of fishing being done this win
ter. l saw about a carload of white
fish in one pile. / gave 25 cents for
Sc pounds of fish. What do you think
of that, Brother Yankee? l think this
is fine place both to make money
and to live. There was an old man up
here visiting his brother-in-law. Now
this man owns land close to Des
Moines, Iowa, and is in good circum-
stances, but he took a homestead and
says he will be contented if he can
only put in the rest of his days in
Canada. He would get up in the morn
and look out of the door and say:
'Well, who wouldn't live in Canada?"
Now have been in - different states
in the United States, and l never saw
the chance that there is here for q
man that has a little muscle and a
little brains. Three cheers for Cana
