last week attending meeting of the

The fact that but few of the mem

ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR
4 GOOD STOMACH
This Offer Should Be Warning to
Every Man and Woman.

The newspapers and medical jour
nails recently have had much to say
relative to a famous millionaires' offer
of a million dollars for a new
stomach.
This great multi-millionaire was too
busy to worry about the condition of
his stomach. He allowed his dys-
pepsia to run from bad to worse until
in the end it became incurable.
His misfortune serves as a warning
to others
Everyone who suffers with dys-
pepsia for a few years will give every
thing he owns for a new stomach.
Dyspepsia is caused by an abnormal
state of the gastric juices. There is
one element missing. The absence of
this destroys the function of the gas
tric fluids They lose their power to
digest food.
We are now able to supply the miss
ing element-to restore to the gastric
juices their digestive power. and to

Constipation Caused
By Indigestion
Is Cured by Helping the Stomach Do
Its Work as 1t Should.

All forms of constipation, bowel or
intestinal trouble owe most of their
origin TO the improper digestion of
food The bowels measure so feet.
The inside walls or surfaces are wound
tightly about with millions of nerves.
These nerves give life and control
millions of little mouths or suckers
which are supposed to take nourish-
ment from the food as it leaves the
stomach and passes along this 30-foot
human canal
stomach trouble occurs, the food be-
ing undigeSted, passes over these mil
lions of mouths, it is a fermented de-
caying mass and holds no nourishment
as 1t should.
The little mouths suck it up, i'm
part these impurities to the blood, i'm
pregnate the little nerves with poison
and so the work of constipation and
bowel trouble begins.
A natural juice or secretion belongs
normally in the little cells and glands
along the mucous membrane of the
3o-foot canal or bowel. When indiges-
tion occurs this juice is lacking and
so the mass of waste matter can not
pass along as it should and is piled
up and cdked in the bowel thus bring
ing pain and misery.
After a while the nerves and nerve
centers which give vigor and life to the
bowel become paralyzed, thus forever
prohibiting the bowel from performing
its natural duties.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. when
taken after meals, digeStS the food
properly even though the stomach is
sick and it passes to the bowels nour-
ishment and juices, which help the in
testines not only to do their work at
once, but builds them up, restores vi
tality to the nerves, brings new secre-
ton to the glands and cells, helps
bowel action and enriches the blood.
The stomach is the cause Common
sense and scienct are one on this point
You see 1t yourself. One little grain
of Stuart's DYSPEPSIA Tablets will per-
fectly digest 5000 grains of food. The
assimilation of a meal by one of these
tablets is an easy matter and it keeps
the stomach clean and sweet so that in
a brief time this organ is restored.
Every druggist carries them in
stock: price soc. Send US your name
and address and we will send you a
trial package by mail free. Address

RAT OF PURPLE HUE.
Bronx Zoo Believed to Have the Only
One in the World.

New York. Jan. 1s.-A rat of pur-
pie is now quartered at the Bronx
zoo. 1t was presented to r. L. Dit
mars. curator of reptiles, by a Jap
anese. Concerning his rather weird
new pet, heretofore believed to have
been confined to story books, or the
lima gination, DIR. .Ditmars said:
This purple rat was brought to me
by a Japanese who said he believed it
was the only purple rat in the world.
EIe told me he had been cross breed
ing white, pink, black, yellow and
gray rats in an effort to get the tor
toise shell effect. This purple rat was
the only distinct result thus far OBJ
tanned. 1t is not dyed, I will answer
for that. Its reddish purple color is
natural and as it appears full grown,
I SUPPOSE it will retain that COLOR

BURN CRUDE OIL.
Big Parsons Industry Finds They Can
Not Depend Upon Gas.

Parsons, Kan, Jan. 1S.-Since the
burning of the pumping station at
Neodesha and the low pressure of gas
that resulted from this disaster to the
kansas Gas company, the Katy shops
have only worked a few hours and are
now idle on account of the lack of
gas This has resulted in the COM
pany considering the installing of oil
ers with which to equip the big fur
naces at the shops are already being
made and the shops will probably
commence work today.
The electric light company is now
equipped for the burning of crude oil
and finds it very satisfactory, and the
Katy has long been considering the
advisability of installing crude oil in
the place of gas as fuel at the shops.
The crude oil can be purchased cheap
and transported to the shops in large

How a Chicago Preacher Sizes Up
Extremists in Liquor War.

Chicago, Jan. 1S.-"The time has
come wnen all friends of good govern

Rev Morton Culver Hartzel1 yesterday

"Vociferous agitation is good when
it is for good plan or for the pur-

''Many theories of how to remedy a

on with the discredited thing.
But the third party prohibitionist
