STOCKTON, Dec. 7.-Cy Moreing Sr.,
a local contractor, took exception today
to the action of the highway commits
sion in recommending that the board of
supervisors accept the proposal of the
Grant gravel company to- furnish the
county with 10000 tons of gravel for
highway Improvements at ~ cents a
ton in the pit
Moreing declared his bid for fur
nishing Tesla gravel was lower when
the matter of delivering the material
was considered. He argued that the
commission in making supplemental
agreement with the other firm exer-
cised undue authority and that before
any private contract should be con-
sidered all proposals should be thrown
out.
S. p. Elliott, one of the commission
ers, declared the commission had not
done So 1t believed the bid of IN
cents was the lowest. and the matter
of delivery was another proposition

AUBURN, Dec. Mot guilty. was
the verdict in the jeff Lewis murder
case today. The jury was out just
fifteen minutes and took but one ballot
Lewis shot and killed Ben E. Swezey
August 22 at a Penryn saloon. The
cause of the tragedy was the intimacy

married, with a wife and four children,
the eldest girl of seventeen years.
Many neighbors knew of the alleged
intimacy, but only a few had told
Lewis about it, and under the law they
could not testify A challenge by
Special Prosecutor Hamilton, however
in which he invited the defense to pro-
duce testimony of this kind allowed the
defense to respond with scores of wit
nesses, gathered from Penryn.
When the evidence was all in today,

The Dyspepsia
OF Old Age
Strong Digestion and an Adequate
Nutrition Invariably Mean Long
and Healthy Life.

There is a process known as metab-
SSlsm Ssm going on constantly in the
bpoa5y' and by which the tissues are
oullt up, and after having served their
purpose In a physical economy, are
torn down and cast off
80 long as the due relation between
waste and supply is maintained, nutri-
tion and theNvarious functions of the
Dody are continued. But after middle
ne and in old age there comes a time
When waste exceeds supply, and when
the various elements which constitute
the different fluids, tissues and organs
no longer hold their due proportion,
ana the principle of life itself becomes
enfeebled, the body no longer having
once did.
As old age creeps on, all the fune-
tions gradually fail, especially those
OF digestion, absorption and assimila-
taon' and the system being deprived of
wears out If the nutritive and di-
gestive processes of old people could be
maintained unimpairedA life could be
prolonged almost indefinitely.
Ihere are many old persons in whose
stomachs the gastric function is almost
entirely suspended. When this trouble
occurs. the problem is, how to digest
the food and get along without the
natural stomach juices There is but
one way TO overcome the effects of this
condition, and that is TO supply arti-
flcially 10 the stomach a powerful di-
gestive substance to take the place of
the juices which it fails to secrete
y.
For this purpose, there is nothing
superior to STUARTS DYSPEPSIA
TABLETS known to medical science. as
they supply the deficiency, and are such
reliable and thoroughly efficient sub
stitute for the natural gastric juices
that If two or three are taken after
each meal the food will be digested in
so complete a manner that the natural
digestive fluids will never be missed.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets should be
used by all old and middle aged per-
sons. in order to prevent or cure the
dyspepsia of old age Through their
use complete digestion of the food is
assured with CONSEQUENT increased
nutrition of the body, and a staving off
of the sensibility and decrepitude of old
age
This remedy is, however, not only
good for the indigestion incidental to
advanced life, but is also applicable to
the dyspepsia and stomach troubles of
any age, from youth up.
Secure package of this famous dys-
pepsla remedy from your druggist for
soc and if you find that as you get
older your digestion and assimilation
becomes weaker, this remedy will assist
the stomach in the performance of its
functions, so that the general system
viii not suffer from the delinquency of
the digestive organs.
A sample package will be sent you If
you will forward your name and ad-
dress to the T. A Stuart company, $50
