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

All forms of constipatio 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 = i control mil
lions of little mouths or suckers which
are supposed to take nourishment from
the food as it leaves the stomach and
passes along this 30,foot human canal.
When indigestion, dyspepsia or stom-
ach trouble occurs, tie food being UNI
digested, passes over these millions of
mouths. 1t is fermented decaying
mass and holds no nourishment as it
should.
The little mouths suck it up, i'm
part these impurities to the blood, inn
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 80
occurs tlis juice is lacking and so the
mass of waste matter cannot pass
along as it should and is piled up and
caked in the bowel thus bringing pain
and misery.
After while the nerves and nerve
centers which give vigor and life to
the bowel become paralyzed, thus for
ever prohibiting the bowel from per
forming 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 helps the in
testines not only to do their work ct
once, but builds them Up, restores vi
tally to the nerves, brings new Sc
erection to the glands and cells, helps
bowel action and enriches the blood.
The stomach is the cause. Common
sense and science IRE one on this
point. You see it yourself. One little
grain of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
will perfectly 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.

WRECK CAUSED
MAIL DELAY
The Reason Why the Chicago Mail
Was Late Here Yesterday
Morning.

The cause of the lateness of the Chi
cago mail Yesterday morning was
freight wreck at New London. The
particulars are given in Mt Pleas
ant paper as follows:
This morning about six O'Clock a
smash up occurred on the north track
about four miles east of this city. A
west bound freight was the cause of
the trouble. An empty car about the
center of the train broke f1ange on
one of its wheels and one end left the
track. This broke the coupling and
the car was badly shattered by the
rear part of tie train and piled up on
the track in such way that trains
were blocked both ways. AS the trou-
BILE occurred in the middle of the train
no one was hurt and very little dam
age was done aside from blocking
three trains.

lintson and reached the scene in less
than an hour but was unable to clear
the wreckage away sufficiently for

Program.

The program of the morning began
at 10 O'Clock with Principal b. S.
Patterson presiding. 1t opened with
several songs by the school under the
leadership of Prof. P. c. Hayden and
Mildred JOY, pianist Following was
the address of the day by Mr.. G. R.
JOY.
The address of Mr.. Joy throughout
was one quite appropriate to tle &C.
casion and his remarks should be of
assistance in leading the young grad
yates on the right course through their
four wears of high school life. He told
them that the next four years, which
would probably complete their educa-
tional work. would be years of prepara-
ton. and that they would spend their
time in high school work preparing
for a future career. He impressed upon
them the four years to come are vaiu-
able and that to make life success
preparation should be made during
this time. He likened the student to
Marathon runner, who to be sue
cess must prepare carefully and train
his mind and muscles to work togetn-
CT.
Many think that to leave school
early is a good thing, for the reason
that you have handicap over the stu
dent. who remains through his high
school work. This is a mistake, &C
cording to Mr.. Joy, for the student
who remains at his studies for time
longer to complete his education, is
better fitted for the later problems in
life. He urged upon the students to
get all the education possible, for
there are problems in every day bust
ness life that the uneducated man can
not serve and are left to the man who
has good education.
Mr. Joy also spoke of the tempta-
tions that the new high school stu
dents would have to face during their
high school career You will be tempt
ed to idle. to waste time and to cheat.
All of these things are to the detri-
ment of the students and should be
carefully avoided. He spoke of the
evils of stimulants and of the harm
of tobacco and cigarettes.

Miserable keokuk Wretch Broke Into
the Rooms Of the Late Miss
Reynolds and Stole
Provisions.
MUCH CANNED FRUIT
House at Tenth and Concert Streets
Was Broken into and Entrance

Cellar.
He robbed the dead.

re IODUGu llS uedu
A miserable Keokuk man is guilty of
about as low a piece of petty crime
as is possible. having broken into the
rooms formerly occupied by Miss Rey-
nolds at Tenth and Concert street
and stealing from there some cans of
fruit and some sugar.
Miss Reynolds was the old lady who
died at the hospital recently and in
whose room was found nearly two hun
dred dollars in cash which she had
boarded up
When she died. she left considerable
provisions n the house, including
about ten pounds of graduated sugar
in a large can and fifty or sixty cans
of fruit and preserves. These were in
her kitchen and were noticed when
relatives visited her room the day she
passed away.
The relatives had taken what they
desired from the effects but left the
provisions and quantity of clothing
for the superintendent of the poor to
take and give out to the poor of the
city.
