course" he adds, at would seem that 1t
must be made practicable to both es-
innate receipts with q close approx
nation to the actual, and ito provide
for their annual rise or fall by some
flexible factors in our annual taxation"
Reductions in the present estimates,
Mr.. McVeagh declares, result from i'm
proved handling of the government
work and the postponement of expend-
iture5 which can be delayed in an effort
to adjust Immediate expenses and re-
ceipts. He sounds a warning, how
ever, that the reductions in appropria-
tlons will be disappointing unless equal
attention is given to other important
savings.
Secretary MacVeagh reviews the or
ganization, or rather lack of organiza-
tion, of the fiscal responsibilities of the
executive and legislative branches Of
the government and the reorganization
thereof now in progress. He voices the
hope that there will be constant prog
ress away from the extreme disorgan-
ization of the past" and observes that
"even If our country Is rich, it cannot
afford to be wholly unscientidc in its
appropriations"

OPERATE AMMUNITION
FACTORY AT CAPACITY
Plant at Spandau, Prussia, Works on
New ProjectiIes of Shrapnel
and Shells

SPANDAU, Prussia, Dec. THE
shell and ammunition works here are
being conducted to their capacity on
new artillery projectiles which COM
bine the functions of shapnel and
she'll
New firing regulations have just been
issued to the howitzer batteries, which
will be provided first with the new mis-
siles.
It is understood the whole artillery
division will be supplied as soon as
practicable, in order that uniform
ammunition may displace the two vari-
cites now in use.
For half a generation the war office
has been experimenting in the hope of
solving the problem of single pro-
tectile adapted for use as shell
against material resistance, and at the
same time practical as shrapnel against
a living target. The German ordnance
engineers, it would seem, have sue
ceeded in making such a projectile.

The Dyspepsia
Of Old Age
Strong Digestion and an Adequate
Nutrition Invariably Mean a Long
and Healthy Life

There is a process known as meta
bolism going on constantly in the
body, and by which the tissues are
built up, and after having served their
purpose In the physical economy are
torn down and cast off.
So long as the due relation between
waste and supply is maintained, nutri-
tion and the various functions of the
body are continued. But after middle
life 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,
and the principle of life itselR becomes
enfeebled, the body no longer having
power to assimilate new material as
it once did.
AS old age creeps on, all the func-
tions gradually fail, especially those
of digestion, absorption and assimila..
tion, and, the system being deprived
of it's full quota of nutriment, slowly
wears out. If the nutritive and di-
gestive processes of old people could
be maintained unimpaired, life could
be prolonged almost indefinitely.
There 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-
ficially to the stomach a powerful di-
gestive substance to take the place of
the juices which it fails to secrete
naturally.
For this purpose there is nothing
superior to STUARTS DYSPEPSIA
TABLETS known to medical science,
as they supply the deficiency and are
such a reliable and thoroughly efficient
substitute for the natural gastric
juices that if two or three are taken
after each meal the food will be di-
gested 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 staving off
of the sensibility and decreptitude 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 a package of this famous dys-
<pepsia remedy from your druggist for
soc, and if you find that as you get
older your digestion and assimilation
become weaker this remedy will as
sist the stomach in the performance of
it's functions, so that the general sys-
tenn will not suffer from the delin-
ouency of the digestive organs.
A sample package will be sent you
il you will forward your name and adj
dress to the F. A. Stuart Company, $50
Stuart Building, Marshall. Michigan.

COURT GIVES ABDUL AZIZ
CHANCE TO REDEEM JEWELS
Lost Pass Ticket Causes Delay in Sale
of Trnkets PaWned by the
Moorish Sultan

PARIS, Dec. 7.-As has been fore
seen, the sale of the jewels belonging
to the sultan, Abdul Aziz. which was
to have taken place yesterday at Hotel
Brouot, was adjourned.
The reasons were that El Mokrl rep
resentative in Paris of the Moorish
government. had gone to the head
quarters of the government pawn
brokers' establishment with the sum
of 100000 francs in cash to redeem
the Jewels by paying the amount
loaned and the interest thereon. I'm
fortunately, El Mokri had not the pass
ticket, which appears to have been
lost. El Mokri consequently appealed
TO the courts and stated his case.
Notwithstanding the opposition of the
government pawnbroker's establish
ment, the judge ordered the postpone
ment of the sale for one month.

Alaskan Legislation

"With respect to Alaska" said the
president, "I recommend legislation
which shall provide for the appointment
by the president of a governor and
also of an executive council, the men,
bers of which shall, during their term
of office, reside in the territory, and
which shall have legislative powers
sufficient to enable it to give the ter
ritory local laws adapted to its pres

ent growth I strongly deprecate leg
islation looking to the election of
territorial legislature in that vast dis
triCt."
The president mentions the necessity
for legislation looking to the further
conservation of natural resources and
announces that a special message on
this subject, including that of water
ways, reclamation, irrigation, refor-
esting, etc, will be sent to congress
early.
Transfer of control over the light
houses to a suitable civilian bureau is
recommended because of frequent fric-
tion due to the absence of any central
independent authority
White slavery is discussed, the view
being that there is urgent necessity for
additional legislation and greater eX-
ecutive activity to suppress it.

president says, "to forbid under pen
alty the transportation of persons FOR
purposes of prostitution across national
and state lines, and by appropriating a
fund of $4,000 to be used by the sec
retary of commerce and labor for the
employment of special inspectors it
will be possible to bring those respon-
sible for this trade to indictment and
conviction under federal law"

To Unite Departments

The president says that while the
medical departments of the army and
navy must be kept separate there seems
no reason why all the other bureaus
and offices in the general government
which have to do with the public
health should not be united in bureau
to be called the bureau of public
health"
I'm conclusion the president says:
Speaking generally, the country is in
high state of prosperity. There is
every reason to believe that we are on
the eve of a substantial business eX-
pansion and we have just garnered a
harvest unexampled in the market
value Of our agricultural products. The
high prices which such products bring
mean great prosperity for the farming
community, but on the other hand they
mean a very considerably increased
burden upon those classes in the COM
munity whose yearly compensation
does not expand with the Improvement
in the business and the general pros
perity. Various reasons are given for
the high prices.
"The proportionate increase in the
output of gold, which today is the chief
medium of exchange and is in some re-
spects a measure of values, furnishing
substantial explanation of at least
part of the increase in prices. The in

The foundation of the bag is circle of soft cardboard five inches in circumference. This is covered neatly with pink taffeta silk on both sides for which a quarter yard of pink taffeta silk is required. After base is covered gather silk and sew on to base.

Successive kings of Scotland did much to Improve It's native breed of horses, aud In this connection it Is not to be forgotten that the drst Scottish king of Eng land. James l., did mere to improve the race horses In our island than was ever done before him or has ever been done by any individual since.
