Constipation Caused
By Indigestion
Is Cured by Helping the Stomach Dc
It's Work As 1t Should.

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 80 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
nourishment from the food as it
leaves the stomach and passes along
this 30-foot human canal.
When indigestion, dyspepsia or
stomach trouble occurs, the food be-
ing undigested, passes over these mill
lions of mouths it is a fermented de-
caying mass and holds no nourishment
as it 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 indi-
gestion occurs this 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-
fshment and juices, which help the in
testines not only to do their work at
once. but builds them up. restores VI
tally to the nerves, brings new secre-
ton to the glands and cells, helps bow
ell action and enriches the blood.
The stomach is the cause. Com
mon sense and science are 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 1t keeps the stomach clean and
sweet SO that in brief time his organ
is restored.

Editor Palladium:
Some people were surprised when in
the fall Darke county. Ohio, voted
dry. In order to understand what con-
ditions actually aure since the saloons
closed, a letter seeking information
was addressed to the chief of police
of Greenville, Ohio, and the following
reply was received:
Mr.. r. J. Wade Richmond, Ind.
Dear Sir-Your letter of the 4th at
hand and In reply will say that the fol-
lowing arrests we're made in December,
1907: Drunk, 5: drunk and disorderly
conduct. 4; assault and battery, 3;
abusing family, .; petit larceny. 1;
bound to grand jury for robbery, 2;
total arrests for the month. II. In
December. 1908, we had no arrests for
drunk or drunken and disorderly con-
duct. In fact no arrests of any per-
son on any charge caused by use of
intoxicating liquors. We had four ar
rests for assault and battery and two
for petit larceny in December, 1903.
None were bound to grand jury in this
month.
Our saloons were closed November
Is. 1903, and VIC have not had an ar
rest caused by use of intoxicating IL
quors since that time and we do not
have lot Of people drunk on the
streets since the saloons closed, but
everything is quiet and orderly. AS
far as business is concerned we have
had no loss of trade in other bust.
ness except the saloons. Hoping this
may be satisfactory, remain res

fornia If Legislature Cannot
Realize Great UnWisdom of
Measures.
BIG STICK READY FOR
THE COAST AGITATORS
President Points Out Fact
That More Japanese Are
Leaving Country Than Are
Coming-Protest Denial.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 20.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has succeeded in hold
ing up, temporarily at least, the anti
Japanese measures pending before the
California legislature.
This news, developed yesterday
both here and on the coast. sheds a
flood of new light on the president
public demand, embodied in his own
phrase of "a square deal for Japan"
The obstacle which the federal ex-
ecutive has succeeded in opposing to
the Drew and johnson bills at Sacra-
mento is until letter, following a
telegram from the white house, can
cross the continent and receive con-
sideration But for the time being the
block is effective.
President Roosevelt asked the gov
ernor OF California to take steps to
have all anti-Japanese legislation held
in the matter. In a telegram this re-
quest was embodied and a letter is
en- route to Sacramento which will
give the federal executives views and
wishes.
Gov. Gillett of California responded
to the president in the following dis.
patch:
Telegram received. Have caused
bills to be held up until I can hear
from you. Copies of bills introduced
affecting Japanese together with
briefs on same mailed to YOU"
Presidents Plea for the Japs.
Following is the text of President
Rooseyelt's letter to Gov. Gillett, now
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1909-01-20

being carried westward as fast as the
government mail service permits:
my Dear Governor: am greatly
concerned over the anti-Japanese bills
which are apparently going through
or are on their way through the Cali
fornia legislature.
They are in every sense most un-
fortunate. At last We have in first
class working order the arrangement
which with such difficulty we sue
ceeded in getting through two years
ago. The japanese government are
obviously acting in entire good faith.
During the six months ending
Oct. 81 last the total number of Jap
anese who have come to the mainland
of the United States has been 2.O74
and the total number who have left
has been 1851. In other words. the
whole object pominally desired by
those who wish 20 prevent the incom-
ing of Japanese laborers has been
achieved.
More Japanese are leaving the
country than are coming in, and by
present indications in few years the
number Of Japanese here will be no
cans in Japan; that is, the movement
will be as normal in one case as in
the other, which is just what we de-
sire.
There is, therefore, no shadow of
excuse for action which will simply
produce great irritation and may re-
suit in upsetting the present agree
ment and throwing open the whole
situation again.
Big Stick for Agitators.
These agitators have themselves
to thank II trouble comes from what
they do If there is a fresh influx OF
Japanese hither. They hamper the
national government in what it has
now SO efficiently accomplished-the
agreement by peaceful means, and
through the friendly Initiative of the
japanese government. to keep Japan
csc immigrants out of the United
States save as Americans themselves
visit Japan.
rs 1t not possible - get the leg1s-
lature to realize the great unwisdom
from the STANDPOINT Of the country at
large, and above all from the stand
point of California. of what Is being
done? Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
. Although denial is made at the
state department and at the Japanese
embassy that any formal protest has
y n -
proposed anti,Japanese legislation in
California, yet it is reaNSed that the
question is causing considerable con-
Germ both In this country and in Jap
an.
The japanese embassy is watching
the progress of the legislation in Cali
fornia with great interest.

That strange African lake. Lake
Tchad. has been the subject of renew
cd attention within the last two years.
and fact that In q period Of twenty
years 1t alternately increases and de-
creases In size and depth seems to
have been well established. Four or
five years after the beginning OF the
period the level OF the lake becomes
very low. and then rises again to the
former height. In 1905 the lake was
very low. According to native re-
cords, 1t was nearly dried up between
1928 and 1923. Twenty years later
the water was very high.

The Siberian Jews have lately been
subjected to severe repression. The
authorities suddenly discovered (says
the Jewish Chronicle) that the Jews
had no night to travel from one town
to another, but were bound to remain
In their present places Of residence.
for this reason too. they expelled
from the larger educational centers
all provincial Jewish children. thus
depriving them Of all possibility Of
educating themselves. The Jewish
political exiles. too. have been pro-
hibited from residing In the towns.
and have been Obliged to return TO
the villages where conditions Of life
are very severe.

PARALLEL ABUSE.

Those who have taken notice OF the
recent disturbance in Congress. dating
principally from the now famous Sc
cret Service Message up to the VIII
,atts outburst. may have the idea that
President Roosevelt is the first chief
executive who has suffered from abuse
while In office.
This is far from true. Almost ev-
cry occupant of the White House mas
undergone some form of vilification.
or these the strongest characters
have always been the chief targets OF
abuse.
Not even the Father of His Coun-
try. first in the hearts of his country
men," escaped. What was 1t they
said of him? It was merely that ne
was a self seeking traitor who was
about to turn the new government OF
the United States over to the British
IN return for a dukedom of the prov
inces. Others averred that he was
about to set up a principality of his
own. They pointed to his aristocrat1c
tendencies. traitor and renegade"
were mild terms to those employed
against the great George Washington.
Philip Freneau of glorious memory
and Benjamin Franklin Bache have
their modern examples in greater or
less degree in the Editors of the In
dianapolis News and the New York
World. Washington was so villhed
that it undoubtedly led to his early
death and more especially explains the
nrecedent he set of a two-term limit
for the presidency.
Nor did Lincoln escape-what need
to repeat the story Of that solitary
man, who was spoken harshly of by
congress and cabinet and by public
prints not only in this but in foreign
countries. Horace Greeley himself,
who had his share in the bringing on
Of the war, was only too ready to
turn his attention into calling the now
Immortal Lincoln" man whose
hands were red with the hearts
blood OF his countrymen.
And SO it goes.
In the case of Roosevelt the public
must remember that this sort OF thing
always happens to strenuous ana
single purposed man Of strong charac-
ter. AS yet there is not time to have
a historical perspective on the mat
ter. It is doubtless true as the Nation
and The New York Evening Post say
that the present disturbance is not
the secret service matter alone. 1t
simply means that congress has been
lying low for the first opportunity in
which 1t has had the ghost of a show
to get even with the president. Con-
gross had the chance to meet the pres
ident at least half way on this matter
but 1t has not as yet.
In regard to the newspaper abuse
of the president that is to be expect
ed but not condoned in the case Of the
papers who are now undergoing
grand jury investigation in the capital
OF the country.
AS for congress itself. no more sane
thing has happened in that body for
many moons than the forcing of Rep
resentative Willetts to take his seat,
for his scurillous attack on Roosevelt

1t is claimed by the proprietors Of
the two local hotels the problem of
their existence is overwhelming, II
they were refused permission to oper-
ate their barrooms. One hotel owner
said his billiard room and rooming
privileges are self sustaining. His

tirely by the profit from the bar. His
annual expense is estimated by him
at $4,000.

turies
One Richmond meat dealer says his
business with the saloons amounts to
$45 or $50 per week. Other dealers
did not report.
The annual consumption of ice by
the saloons of Richmond represents
1900 tons at profit to the companies
of $500.
The two bakeries that reported es-
timated the value of their business
with saloons during the year at $500.
One cigar Manufacturer estimated
his years business with local saloons
at $4,000. Another cigar maker esti-
mated that IS per cent of all business
done by local cigar factories is with
the saloons.
