An Indigestion
Remedy Free

Many people who are otherwise
healthy suffer from indigestion, or dys-
pepsia When you consider that the
stomach and allied digestive organs
are the most important organs of the
body, it would seem that a disorder
there is to be taken very seriously.
Dyspeptics cannot eat the things they
like; food sours in the stomach; then
chronic constipation begins, or, as is often
the case, you have been constioated all
along and the stools are forced and
irregular.
But there is no use letting indigestion
go until it becomes chronic and under
mines your health. 1t is good advice to
suggest to you that you go to your drug
gist and get a bottle of DR.. Caldwell'
Syrup Pepsin, the wonderful cure for
stomach. liver and bowel troubles. That
is what c. Fowler. of Carson City. Mich,
did and he is well today. Others who did
the same and are cured are Ida A. For
tune of Grand Junction. Tenn, B. F.
Thompson, of Shenandoah, Ia, who &C
tually considers that it saved his life.
You can obtain a 5o,cent or 81 bottle of
the druggist, and, taken according to di-
rections, it will probably be all you need.
1t is a liquid. acts gently, never grfpes,
and besides the laxative effect, contains
exceptional tonic properties which tone
the stomach. and that is what is es-
pecially needed in indigestion
All sufferers from indigestion who have
never used DIR. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin
can obtain a free test bottle by writing
the doctor. 1t will be sent direct to your
home without any charge. In this way
thousands have proven to their own sat
isfaction DR.. Caldwelfs Syrup Pepsin is
the very remedy they needed to cure in
remedy you will throw violent cathartics,
tablets salts, ETC., away.

Scientist Finds Stomach POwer The
Basis of Brain Power.
4 Washington Scientist Discovers Ways TO In
crease Brain Power and SeIf-cure for All
Chronic Diseases.

Mr.. Andrew McConneIls Investigations
into the laws Of vital forces are attract
ing worldwide recognition Besides dem
onstrating in hundreds Of tests that every
invalid and old person has the power. il
be knew how TO utilize IT, to cure HIM
self, he shows that man may increase
his brain power also.
The basis of Mr. McConnelIs work lies
in proving CD that plenty OF vital force

that this all-important vital power Is cleo
tricity. and 90 that lthe amount Of pro-
duction of body electricity is under the
control Of every person.
MIR Mcconnell shows that this life
electricity is produced by the digestion
and assimilation Of the food one eats.
As the stomach controls the amount Of
food assimilated into the blood, so the
stomach, Ike the engine, largely controls
the amount Of vital power produced. The
brain controls the expenditure of power
The race has for centuries given all
thought 10 the brain expenditure Of
power, and never intelligently studied
the stomach production Of power This
is why this fast bTain-wOTkng age has
gone into nervous wrecks. When a man

WOULD ADD NEW BUILDING
Littlefeld's Bill for Supreme Court
Home Means Much.
Part Of Plan TO Make Capitol Hill
Most Beautiful Place in
the World.

Representative Littlefeld has intro
duced a bill in the House which ls of
more than passing interest to the citi-
zens at large, and of the utmost impor-
tance to the highest tribunal in the
United States.
The biE authorizes the purchase Of a
site for a building for the accommodation

States, the amount 10 be expended not
to exceed $S,6OQ0O0 Should the bill be-
come d law. that part of Capitol Hi di-
rectly east of the Capitol would be still
further beautifed by another magnificent
building The site proposed comprises
squares 72S. 726, and 727, the whole
bounded on the north by B street, on the
east by Second street. on the south by
East Capitol street, and on the west by
First street. A structure at this place
would be in keeping with the Library
OF Congress, on the south side of East
Capitol street, and these two buildings.
with the new House and Senate build
ings and the Capitol. would complete a
group Of harmonious and imposing archi-
lecture
The House building, situated on the
south side Of the eastern half of the CapI-
tol Grounds; the Senate building, on the
north side and the Capitol are of the
French Renaissance style Of architec-
ture, while the Library of Congress is of
the Italian Renaissance. A new Su-
preme Court building on the site men
toned in the BILL built as is specified. in
the same style as the Library of Con
gress, would round out a group of beauti-
Iul buildings second to none in the world
The bill provides for the purchase. by
the Secretary Of the Interior, either with
the consent Of the owners or by con-
demnation proceedings. of the squares
mentioned. 1t also authorizes the ap-
pointment Of a commission by the Presi-
dent, consisting Of three men, one a mem
Der of the Supreme Court, one a mem
Der OF the Senate Judiciary Committee
and one a member Of the House Ju-
dietary Committee. This commission has
full powers to determine the style, plan
and materials TO be used, and to make
contracts therefor.
It has been a well-known fact for n
long time that the Supreme Court needed
more up to date and commodious quar-
ters commensurate with its Importance
and dignity. and should Mr.. Littlefelds
bill become law, this long-felt want
viii be realized.
Another important feature of the meas
ure is the specification that there must
be an adequate law library and a suite
OF rooms suitable for International con
ferences and tribunals. There is now no
place suited to such gatherings.

ROOSEVELT IS NOTIFIED.
brazilian Embassy Brings News of
Fleets Arrival at Rio.

News OF the arrival of Rear Admiral
Evans feet at Rio de Janeiro was
flashed through naval circles here yes
terday subsequent to a brief dispatch re-
ceived at the Brazilian Embassy.
This dispatch was from Baron Rio
Branco, minister Of foreign affairs of
Brazil who wired TO Ambassador Ma
buco that at 2:3) o'clock a vision Of The
steaming battle ships was seen in the dis
tance- They were escorted by a Bra
lillian squadron Of three cruisers. under
command Of Rear Admiral Cavalcanti
Lins
Immediately upon receipt Of the dis
patch Ambassador Nabuco notified Pr4si-
dent Roosevelt. at the same time express
ing his gratitude at the prospect of bav-
ing 5000 Of the American navy as vis-
itors in the Brazilian capital, and also
congratulations that the battle ships had
arrived at Rio so near 10 schedule time.
In reply President Roosevelt thanked
the Brazilian Embassy for having first
given information which was awaited
with interest, and for the opportunity Of
feTed Rear Admiral Evans and his COM
m2nd Of spending ten pleasant days in
friendly port
Secretary Metcalf was notified shortly
afterward. In view of the fact that the
Navy Department had received no advices.
the news was more than welcome, and
from Secretary Metcalf it travelled fast
throughout naval circles,
At the Brazilian Embassy Il Is said that
few realize what the visit of sixteen
American battle ships Of the most ef-
fcient type means TO Brazil Not only IS
the Brazilian government interested in
Rear Admiral Evans and the officers and
men of his command, because of the
record-breaking cruise they are under
taking, but also because at present Brazil
is especially interested in naval matters.
Entirely, as a matter of courtesy, the
Brazilian government appears to have
arranged that no vice admiral figure
prominently in the ceremonies in connec-
ton with Rear Admiral Evans visit.
This is 10 Obviate any embarrassment to
which Rear Admiral Evans might be sub
ynitted 10 owing TO his rank.
In reiterating the delight Of the Brazil
ian government at the prospect of being
hosts for the American navy for nearly
ten days the Brazilian Embassy last
night referred to the fact that the rank
Of Rear Admiral Evans was inappropriate
for the great naval force he had under
his command.

CONTRADICTED BY employees
Their story Is that While the G.. r. o.
Chief Has Decreased the Force Of
Men at the PrinteFy, He has Not
Reduced the Cost of Production.
Figures Given TO Prove Contention.

Public Printer Charles A. Stillings has
made il his first boast that he has re-
duced the expenses Of the Government
Printing Office by various amounts,
ranging from about s600, 900 in 1906 10 ap-
proximately $4,000 in 1907
Employees of the Government Printing
Office say that white Mr. Stillings has
decreased the force Of men working in
the Government Printing Office consid-
erably. Mr. Sullings has not decreased
the cost of production.

a position 10 know that the charges TO

For the present year. the report for
which is no doubt almost ready It is
stated by employees Of the Government
Printing once that the amount called
for in the executive departments OF that
Office is approximately s45s,oo0. If this
figure is taken to be as approximately
correct as the $500 called for by Mr..
Sullings' predecessor. the present Public
Printer has Increased the expenditures of
his Office In executive departments alone
by almost $4,000.
During the month Of December, it has
been stated by employees in a position TO
know, the payroll Of the Government
Printing Office amounted 10 Just about
$4,000 while for material Mr. Stillings IS
said TO have spent about $4,000 more.
These figures added make in round
numbers 10000 for one months work In
the Government Printing Office. At the
same rate, or even looping OF 100000

the office would be $500 100 It's rather
difficult 20 see where Mr. Stfllings is go
