LET YOUR STOMACH HAVE. ITS
OWN WAY.
Do Not Try to Drive and Force it to
Work When it is Not Able or
You Will Suffer all the More.

You cannot treat your stomach as
some men treat balky horse; force,
drive or even starve it into doing
work at which it rebels. The stom-
ach is a patient and faithful servant
and will stand much abuse and ILL
treatment before it "balks," but when
it does you had better 60 slow with
it and not attempt to make it work.
Some people have the mistaken idea
that they can make their stomachs
work by starving themselves They
might cure the stomach that way. but
it would take so long that they would
have no use for a stomach when they
got through. The sensible way out of
the difficulty is to let the stomach
rest if it wants to and employ sub
stitute to do it's work.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will do
the work of your stomach for you and
digest your food just as your stomach
used to when it was well. You can
prove this by putting your food in
glass jar with one of the tablets and
sufficient water and you will see the
food digested in just the same time as
the digestive fluids of the stomach
would do it. That will satisfy your
mind. Now, to satisfy both your
mind and body take one of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after eating-eat
all and what you want-and you will
feel in your mind that your food is
being digested because you will feel
no disturbance or weight in your
stomach. just as you did when you
were a healthy boy or girl.
stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets act in a
natural way because they contain only
the natural elements of the gastric
Juices and other digestive fluids of the
stomach. 1t makes no difference what
condition the stomach is In, they go
right ahead of their own accord and
do their work. They know their bust
ness and surrounding conditions do
not influence them in the least They
thus relieve the weak stomach of all
its burdens and give it its much-need-
ed rest and permit it to become strong
and healthy.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at 80 cents box.
They. are so well known and their
popularity is so great that druggist
would as soon think of being out Of
alcohol or quinine as of them. In fact
physicians are prescribing them all
over the land, and if your own doctor
is real honest with you, he will tell
YOU frankly that there is nothing on
earth SO good for dyspepsia as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.

Close Vote in Recordership VIII
Necessitatc Recount by Chair.
man of Board of Super
visors.
WHAT HAYS CONTENDS
of Vote on Railroad
Commissioner in Fourth Ward
and an Error in Re-
capitalization.

Joseph n. Hays, democratic candi-
date for county recorder, who was
defeated by Fred c. Chambers, re-
publican, by one vote, has filed his
contest for recount. which, if
granted, will be made in Fort Madi-
son on December 19, the day set by
George F. Brinkman, chairman of the
board of supervisors.
In asking for a recount in mat
ter of this kind it is necessary for
the defeated candidate to file his
petition in the district court, setting
out certain allegations to substan-
tate his action; also to notify the
chairman of the board OF supervisors,
whose duty it is to set date for the
recount, this date to be not later
than twenty days after the election
contest is filed The proper steps
afternoon.
Several allegations are set out in
1 the petition. One is that in the fourth
ward Fort Madison, twenty-four bal
lots were thrown out by the judges
because of Irregularities in the vote
1 for railroad commissioner. Mr.. Hays
contends that these votes should
have been counted in so far as they
have to do with the rest of the ticket.
1t is also alleged that an error was
committed in the second ward of
Fort Madison. 1t is remembered that
when the supervisors went over the
outside of the poll books and then
over the tally sheets difference of
one vote was found in this ward
| which broke the tie and gave Cham
bers majority of one. In recapitula-
ton Chambers was given 1873 votes
and later the judges changed the to-
tai to read 1874, holding that they did
not count one of the votes in carry
ling out the totals. Mr.. Hays con
tends that the mark which was at
! forwards counted as a vote was small
and indefinite and was not meant for
a vote.
The ballots will be counted by Mr..
Brinkman and clerk representing
| both Mr.. Chambers and Mr.. Hays, II
the Judge at Fort Madison makes an
order granting the petition of the
defeated candidate.
