RETURN OF PROSPERITY

Mr.. Schwab who was greeted with
prolonged applause said in part
1t Is about six months ago since /
was here 20 luncheon with the VII
.nington Board Of Trade AT that time
I made promises of some things that
might be desirable I'm this town. Sub
seauently. / never saw quicker action
nor appreciation Of promises than was
made by your citizens. Wilmington Is
situated in position to be q great man
ufacturing city The people have the
spirit that goes 20 make a great man
ufacturing city. and we are prepared
to give them their wishes. You nave
elements here that will make an in
dustry great our Wilmington indus

the branches of our trade. We a~c
going TO increase our plant IN VIII

Many Of you know as l know. tie
business situation IS not so rosy as IL
was at the time / made those promises.
At the same time. we did not know six
months ago, nor do we know six
months hence, what money we may
have. We want 10 build up this plant
in wilmington, we want 10 establish
other plants I'm Wilmington, but there
is now no telling Just when that will
be. During the past six months the
interests with which I am affiliated
have had a hard struggle. Six years
Of prosperity made us careless. we
rolled along on this crest of prosperity.
and were blinded by the spray. Now
we have adopted more economical plans
and thus we will be enabled to COM
pete with the old country not only with
south American Republics. but for the
world over.
''The iron and steel industry has
been a world barometer Of business
for many years. The crisis is over
The tendency is onward and upward.
/ In 1880 the whole Of the United states
consumed less than one million tons
cf steel. in 1907. twenty-five million
tons were used. / confidently predict
that ten years hence. between thirty
and forty million tons will be used.
Then the mines viii be taxed. and
men will not want for work With the
iron and steel industries will rise every
other business. Wages that have
doubled since 1900 wilf~go up with
the rising business. I cannot take
sides with those who decry the future
under the coming tariff. With this m
your minds, ! ask Wilmington to work

But for the best interests OF the city.
as well 8 the state. nothing, I'm my
opinion, would be more conducive than
the cultivation of a spirit of greater
pride in the entire State and IN the

lines are sometimes given too much
prominence IN the consideration Of

the citizens, and local feeling perhaps

should never become paramount 70

FlaiuIency or Wind
on Stomach
As Il is Commonly Named. Means That
Dacavinn Eond Is MaLinn Gna

As Il is Commonly Named. Means That
Dsesying Food Is Making Gas.
This most serious condition is very
prevalent and results most distressingly
and fatally oftentimes The stomach in
cases Of fiatulency is unable to digest
the food properly. Decay sets in, gases
form. extend the stomach, force their
way downward into the bowels, and IL
not relieved it extends upward press
ing against the lungs, liver and heart.
causing shortness Of breath. belching,
foul odors and many times sudden
death.
Foods which are filled with gases,
when taken into a deranged stomach
cause fstulency rapidly, vegetables
being especially given TO this quality.
Against such a condition the stomach
can do but little, because these foul
and poisonous gases affect its glands,
muscles and tissues to such a degree
as to incapaciate It almost at once.
These gases distend the stomach in
all directions preventing the contract
ing muscles from doing their regular
duties. or il they do force the gas
from the stomach It goes elsewhere in
the system with even more harass-
ing results. and then the decaying
mass still remains to generate more
gases.
The most effective methods for allay-
ing fiatulency is to remove the cause
OF gas making. An emetic will do
this but the stomach will have the same
trouble the moment new food enters II.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets get at
gas food at once. digest 1t, prevent
decay, quickly reduce food to nour-
ishment. make good rich gastric fluid
and pass the digested food to the in
testines. giving the stomach its rest
and the system its nourishment. Flat
ulency simply cannot exist where these
little tablets are used They build up
the stomach fluids so that Il matters
not how many vegetables you eat OF
food containing quantities Of gas. the
stomach does its work well and
quickly.

everywhere and used the whole world
over by sick stomachs and stomachs

not get sick
