Herald today prints the following news
article under an Augusta, Ga, date:
The newest name suggested for
member of Mr.. Taft's official family is
that of John V. FarwelI of Chicago, a
former Yale man and one of the best
known business men of the western
metropolis. 1t is likely that Ferwell
will be asked to take the portfolio of
secretary of the interior. Mr.. Bal
linger of Washington has been men

Garfield will be made an amba ssador,
probably to Rome. It is believed now
that Mr.. Ballinger has been eliminated.

The Stomach Does
Not Cause Dyspepsia
Neither VIII 1t Cure Because the
Lack of Gastric Juices
Prohibit Relief.

The stomach is a strong, powerful or
gan. which is composed of muscles of
great strength. 1t is filled during di-
gestion with gastric juices which, when
the stomach. extending and compress
ing the food, dissolve it and separate
the nourishment from the waste enat-
ter. If. however. these gastric juices
are lacking, the stomach is not capa-
BILE of digesting its food because it has
not the tools with which to work sue
cessfully.
The gastric juices when in a perfect
state do away with all foul OdOrs fer
mentation and decay. reduce the food
10 a disintegrated mass and the stom-
ach then presses it into the inteStines
where another form of digestion takes
place. Then the intestines take from
this mass of food all that is nourish-
ing and give it to the blood. The waste
matter is thrown from the system.
If instead of nourishment the in
testines receive impure deposits COM
bined with a poisonous and imperfect
gastric juice, it can be readily seen
that they must turn such imperfect
nourishment into the blood. The blood
then being unable to give each part
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 and re-
move those elements which cause dis
turbance.
Meat. grains. fluids. vegetables and
delicacies. in fact each portion. of a
large meal have been placed in a glass
vial and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have digested them to q perfect fluid
just as healthy stomach would do.
A large complex. hearty meal holds
no terrors for a dyspeDtic if Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are used. Abnormal
eating, late dinners, rich foods cause i'll
effects to the stomach, but when Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets are used one
may eat when and what one will with

destrians were put in danger last night
along two miles of crowded streets dur

the fugitives to stop or risk them

found on the seat of the stolen car and
were placed under arrest. They had
seized the machine, they said, in a

Best way to Keep Supply of Cigars

Every smoker appreciates the ad-
vantage of keeping cigars in humi-
doris. A humidor keeps cigars in
perfect smoking condition. regardless
of climate, altitude or weather con-
ditions.
The Rice Glass Humidor, which
holds fifty cigars, is air tight and
opens and closes by a simple twist of
the wrist. The F. r. Rice Mercantile
Cigar Co. supplies it to dealers who
sell Mercantile Cigars, and most deal
ers serve 'Mercantiles' out of this at
tractive jar or humidor. By purchas-
ing so Mercantile Cigars, any smoker
can secure Rice's Glass Humidor
without extra charge.
The quality of the Mercantile Cigar
has been kept up to the highest STAN
dard for eighteen years. 1t is always
the same good cigar, whether you buy
it at the little cigar stand around the
corner, or in the finest club or buffet
