ONE MILLION DOLLARS
FOR A GOOD STOMACH
This Offer Should be a@Warninq to
Every Man and Woman.

The newspapers and medical jour.
nails have had much to say relative
to famous millionaire's offer of a
million dollars for new stomach.
This great multi-millionaire was
too busy to worry about the condi-
ton of his stomach: He allowed his
dyspepsia to run from bad to worse
until in the. end it became, incurable.
His misfortune should serve as a
warning to Others. Every one who
suffers with dyspepsia for a few
years will give everything he owns
for a new stomach.
Dyspepsia is caused by an abnor-
NAL state of the gastric juices.
There is one element missing-Pep-
sin. The absence of this destroys
the function of the gastric fluids.
They lose their power to digest food.
We are now able to supply the:p
sin in form almost Identical to
that naturally created by the. system
when in normal health, so that it re-
stores to the gastric juices their; d.
gestive power, and thus makes the
stomach strong and we'll.
We want every one troubled with
indigestion and dyspepsia to come to
our store and obtain box of Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets. They contain
Blsmuth-Subnitrate andePepsin pre-.
pared by process which develops
their greatest power to overcome di.
gestive disturbance. =
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are very
pleasant to take. 8 They soothe the
irritable, weak stomach, strengthen
and invigorate the digestive organs,
relieve nausea and indigestion, pro-
mote nutrition and bring about a
feeling of comfort. :.

GOOD WORDS FOR 4. KAISER.

= The zCrookston Daily Times, one
of the strongest daily papers pub.
lished, in the Ninth. Congressional
,district,> says of A. aKaiser's scandi-
dacy for state treasurer:
There are many things which
make Mr.. Kaiser almost available
candidate. In the first place, the
northern part of the. state has no
candidate for any. of. 81 the state
Offices and the Ninth district is en-
titled to recognition.
In the second place, the state
treasurership has always been con.
coded to the German element of the
Republican party, and German
has held it for a great many years.
In the third place, Mr.. Kaiser
is man eminently we'll fitted for
the important position of trust. He
has had years of experience in the
banking business and is recognized
as man of exceptional ability in
his line. He is keen and far-sighted
and at the same time is a man of
unquestionable integrity and who
has the most complete confidence
of the bankers throughout the state
and with all his business associates.
No man in the state of Minnesota
stands higher in the business world
than Albert Kaiser, whose record is
without single blemish, and whose
character is in every way above
reproach.
And last, but not least, he would
be tower of strength to the ticket.
He has influential relatives in the
southern part of the state and very
warm personal friends throughout
the entire state who would rally to
his support and the support of the
entire ticket. n-the Ninth and ad-
joining districts, he would strengthen
the ticketin remarkable. degree

WIDOWS WANT MINE

Princeton, H., Dec. 22.-The coro-
ner's jury held another session at
Cherry yesterday, but was unable to
secure any of the missing witnesses
whose testimony is considered neces-
sary by the state and an adjournment
was taken until Jan. 4. No witnesses
were placed on the stand.
The jury hopes that by the time it
meets again the missing witnesses can
be located and the coal company will
be ready to remove the bodies of the
POP men still in the mine. The COM
pany officials discourage the latter
view and seem disinclined to reopen
the mine Many of the widows are
growing impatient and relying on the
county authorities for action. They as
sert that the inspector believes that
the fire is out and they insist that the
bodies should be recovered and buried.
