Leopold was a cold-blooded self

For more ,.han forty years he kept
a promise to mis- father never to

the people of Belgium his colossal

too, an ardent politician, first rate
linguist and clever public speaker.
But all his accomplishments pal

with his nlanipulations which earned
for him the utle of ''the vampire or

Leopold was the developer of the
industries of the Kongo Free State
and, unless a host of credltable wit

Leopold was one OF the most sinis-
ter figures ito be met IN connection
with the rlood-stained ANNALS OF
the dark continent.
His cruelties in the Kongo, where
regiments OF natives were butcher

world scandal and lined the old

the Kongo State when reports OF its

Europe to explorers.
He established an empire there,
autoratic and comineering.
He invested, all told, something
like S6,OOO,O0O, and he drew from his
speculation over $5,OO0,0O0 a year.
His profits arose exclusively from
his loot # the ivory trade and from
his exaction of an enormous tribute
from the India rubber business.
In the highlands of the Kongo, he
set about to develop the gold mining
industry through the operations of
T. f. Walsh, OF Colorado, who was
practically the kings business mama

Making Merry
At Mealtime, Means Good Appetite
Good Digestion, Good Cheer,
Good Heart and Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.

DYSPEPSIA is the skeleton at the
feast; the deaths head at the festive
board. 1t turns cheer into cheerless-
ness, gaity into gloom and festivity
home, haunting every room and hit
ting at every fireplace, making other
wise merry people shudder and fear
If there Is one disease more than an
other that should be promptly at
tackled and worsted, it is Dyspepsia
1t is the very genius of unhappiness,
unrest and Ill nature. In time IL
will turn the best man almost into
IA demon # temper and make good
woman something to be dreaded and
avoided
1t is estimated that half of ones
troubles IN this world comes of a
stomach gone wrong-of Dyspepsia,
in Snort. Foods taken into the stom-
am and Lot properly cared for; con-
verted into substances that the sys-
tenn has no use for and hasn't any
notion what to do with. 1t is irritated
and vexed, panied and annoyed, and
IN little while this state of things
becomes general and directly there is
something bad to pay" The whole
system IS in state OF rebellion and
yearns to do something rash and dis
agreeable and a fine case of Dyspep-
sia is established and opens up for
business.
If you were bitten by a mad dog,
you would not lose a day in going to
a cure; do you know you should be
just as prompt with Dyspepsia? Rab.
les is a quick death, dyspepsia is a
slow one; this is about all the differ
ence. There is a cure for rabies and
so there is for Dyspepsia and one
cure was ABOUT as difficult to dis
cover as the other. Pasteur found
out one and the +. A. Stuart Com
pany the other, and 1t is no longer
secret, as 1T is made public in the
wonderful Tablet, which so many
are using and pralsing today. One
wTter says OF 1t:
"Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are lit
tie storenouses of digestion which
mix with the stomach juices, digest
food, retingle the mucous membrane
and its nerve centers, give to the
blood a great wealth of digestive
fluids, promote digestion and stays
by the stomach until all it's duties
are complete"
Some cures are worse than the dis
ease; they demand This, That and
the Other and the patient despairs
at the requirements; but not so with
the Stuart Dyspepsia Tablet; they
are easy and pleasant to take
and no nausea OIL Ill feeling follows.
There is none of this getting all
like a liquid and
making the remedy a dread. Another
writer says:
1T matters not what the cond-
ton of the stomach, Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets only improve the
juices and bring quiet to the whole
digestive canal of which the stomach
is the center"
