AN INDIGESTION
 REMEDY FREE

Many people who are otherwise healthy suffer from indigestion, or dyspepsia. When you consider that the stomach and allied digestive organs 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 consti- pated all along. and the stools are Forced and irregular
 But there is no use letting indiges- tion go until 1t becomes chornic and undermines your health. It Is good advice to suggest to you that you go to your druggist and get a bottle of pr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, the wonderful cure for stomach. liver and bowel trou- bles. That is what c. Fowler of Carson City. Mich-, did and he is we'll today. cured are Ida A.

NEW LAW HARD ON CUPID.
Regulations Are a Frost Says Judge,
Who Thinks They Work Hardship.

TACOMA, June 18.-According to
Judge Frank Graham, the new mar
riage regulations are a frost" speak
ing from sentimental viewpoint.
1T is simply driving people out of
this state to get married" said Justice
Graham this afternoon 1.-THE act
works a hardship upon many and they
would rather go over to the British
Columbia cities or cross the line into
Oregon. The last legislature simply
built a 10-rail fence around matri-
mony, and rather than bother with
climbing it many couples will go else
where. Marriages have dropped off
in this city and county since the law
took effect
Judge Graham marries more couples
than any other justice or any minister
in the county.

before the rills of trade could become
rivers.
British capital and enterprise and
Mexican foresight and opportunity
combined to reduce this obstruction to
a minimum at the isthmus of Tehuan-
tepec. This crosses the Mexican re-
public at its narrowest point and is the
shortest line between the two ooeans
anywhere except at the isthmus of Pa
mama itself Here a substantial rail-
way with generous terminal facilities
is so choked with business three years
after opening that $2O,OOO,0O0 are to be
expended Immediately to enlarge the
capacity of tracks and terminals.
Here is a hint of the increase of
traffic to be expected when completion
of the Panama canal shall eliminate
land transportation and trans-shipment
of freight entirely. Some of the traffic
across Tehuantepec goes east to Eu-
rome and the Atlantic coasts of North
and South America, some goes west TO
Asia. the Pacific islands and the west
coast of the Americas.
For a considerable part of it the Pa
mama route is no longer, and for all
of if will be vastly cheaper. Care should

HOLDS MANY CITY ELECTIONS
Six Already He'd and More Are Com
ing In the Near Future.

TACOMA June 18.-In the matter
of city elections Tacoma is rapidly
coming to the front Since the first
day Of the year there have been six,
and one more is due as soon as the
charter revision committee finishes it's
labors. That the people are getting
tired of voting was evidenced by the
last election when out of 10000 voters
but 1850 got to the polls. From indi-
cations many of these went to the
polls merely to boost themselves, as
there were over 200 different people
who got but one vote each, and none
of them were among those absent
from the polls.

TRAFFIC ACROSS THE AMERICAN

The most striking tendency of world
commerce in the present generation is
TO divert the great current of trade be-

tradition by way of the American con-
tinent, which lies between them on thu
other side
For thousands of years this great ex.
change took place between the east
OF Asia and the west of Europe, first by
caravan and then by railroad, and fin
ally by steamship through the Suez
canal, changing route with changing
conditions without change of general
directions. 1t is only within a few dec
AIDES that increasing rills of trade have
bsgun to flow between Europe and
Asia across the American continent.
First this was incidental to direct
trade with the United States. Then
