The campaign has become so warm

The campaign is no joke with the

LAS CRUCES PERSONALS
AND MINOR HAPPENINGS

Las Cruces, n. NJ, Nov. AZ. M Nc

ter, Mrs. J. F. Stately.
Mrs NJ L Martin, of New York. has
arrived in the city from Albuquerque,
where she has been for several weeks,
and has a position as bookkeeper with
the May Brothers. E. d. Vuillaume,
who has been holding that place for
several months has resigned and will
devote his time to alfalfa raising, hav-
ing leased two ranches for that pur-
pose.

the city for visit of several DAYS
with relatives and friends. Mr.. Riley
has been here for some time superin-
tending the construction of his new
building on Main street.
An old time New Mexico dust and
sand storm struck the city last even
ing, causing all the merchants to close
the doors ofstheir stores. This is usu-
ally the forerunner of a rain and the
people here and all over the valley are
hoping that the signs do not go wrong
this time. Rain is needed very badly
and a downpour of one or two days
duration would do thousands of dollars
worth of good.

GIVE YOUR STOMACH
A NICE VACATION
Don't Do 1t by Starving 1t Either
Let n Substitute Do the Work.

LET Substitute Do the Work.
The old adage, f'All work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy" applies just as
well to the stomach. one of the most
important organs of the human system,
as it does to the man, himself.
II your stomach is worn out and re-
bells against being further taxed be-
vond its limit the only sensible thing
YOU can do is TO give it a rest. Employ
q substitute for a short time and see
if it will not more than repay you in
results
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are will
ling and most efficient substitute. They
themselves digest every bit Of food in
the stomach in just the same way that
the stomach itself would, were it well.
They contain all the essential elements
that the gastric juice and Nother diges-
tive fluids Of the stomach contain and
actually act just the same and do just
the same work as the natural fluids
would do, were the stomach well and
sound They, therefore, relieve the
stomach, just as one workman relieves
another, and permit it to rest and re-
cuperate and regain its normal health
and strength
This vacation" idea was suggested
by the letter of a prominent lawyer in
Chicago. Read what he says: L was
taking of my life in bringing about the
coalition Of certain great interests that
meant much to me as well as my
clients It was not the work of days.
but OF months, l was working night
and day almost, when at a very critical
time my stomach went clear back on
me- The undue mental strain brought
it about and hurried up what would
have happened later on
What I ate I had to literally force
down and that was q source Of misery
as 1 had sour stomach much of the
time. My head ached. 1 was sluggish
and began to lose my ambition to
carry out my undertaking. 1t looked
pretty gloomy for me and I confided
my plight to one of my clients. He
had been cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and at once went down to
drug store and brought box up to
the office.
Il had not taken a quarter Of that
box before / found that they would do
all the work my stomach ever did; and
as a rest or vacation was out of the
question for me, determined to give
my stomach a vacation. I kept right
on taking the tablets and braced up
and went ahead with my work with
renewed vigor, ate just as much as L
ever did and carried out that under
taking TO a successful issue. l feel
that 1 have Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
to thank for saving me the handsomest
fee ever received as well as my repu-
tation, and last but not least my stom-
ach-'
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at so cents box.
