GOOD EFFECT OF PUBLICITY.
Reported That Discipline at Fort Mad
ison Penitentiary is More
Rigid.

Fort Madison dispatch in Burlington
Hawk-Eye: Judging from the COM
ments made among citizens, wIere the
subject of the penitentiary and War
den Sanders management comes up,
there is considerable relief in the
minds of the people over the apparent
fact that a decided change has taken
place in the management of the prison.
1t is noted, according to this gossip,
that prisoners are not now permitted
to go about the city and vicinity with
but single guard or no guard at all.
In fact, prisoners are not seen at lib
erty to any extent There is no more
driving about the city in carriages, or
in automobiles, or taking trips over
into Illinois out of the jurisdiction OF
the state.

TASTE Is Sure
Stomach Guide
A Barometer Which Never
Fails, Though Seldom
Believed.

Taste is the direct guide to the
stomach; and the taste buds are con-
nected by the nerves with the stom-
ach itself. so that they represent its
health or disorder. II the stomach or
it's juices are out of tone, the blood is
fermented by change in the alkaline
or acid condition, and these reach the
mouth both directly and indirectly.
The taste buds are in the tongue
and are mounted by hairlike projec-
tons called papillae; they cover the
surface of the tongue"
When you take these buds rise UP
and absorb tae liquid, inform the
nerves; the nerves tell the stomach
and the food is acceptable or not, just
as the stomach feels
The above remarks on taste comes
from an eminent authority and sim
ply explains WHY when one smells
cooking or sees food one thinks he
can eat. but when he tastes he learns
the stomach is out of business.
To the person who cannot taste
Alright, who relishes no food and sim
ply forces himself to eat, Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets hold the secret OF EN-
joyable eating, perfect digestion ant
renewed general health.
Most men wait until their stomachE
are completely sickened before the!

! When your taste for food is lost i

cure such stomachs. They restor
sweetness of breath, renew gastri

Discipline Improved.

1t is also reported by certain guards
that the discipline is much stricter.
For instance, it is stated, that the dark
cell is now in commission every time
a convict transgresses the laws.
1t is but just to Warden Sanders to
state that his friends claim that he has
been misrepresented by exaggerated
reports, and that, as matter of fact,
he knew nothing about the automobile
trips, which it is claimed, if they
happened at all, was with the consent
of someone who had the power to thus
give the prisoners exercise without
particularly referring the matter to the
warden.
