LET YOUR STOMACH HAVE ITS
OWN WAY.
DO Not Try TO Drive and Force il TO
Work When II is Not Able or You
Will Suffer All the More.

You cannot treat your stomach as
some men treat a balky horse; force,
drive or even starve II into doing work
at which IL rebels. The stomach is
patient and faithful servant and
will stand much abuse and ill-treat-
ment before It "balks," but when It
does you had better go slow with it
and not attempt to make II work
Some people have the mistaken idea
that they can make their Btomachs
work by starving themselves. They
might cure the stomach that way,
but 10 would take so long that they
would have no use for a stomach
when they got through. The sensi-
Bile way out OF the difficulty is to let
the stomach rest II II wants to and
employ a substitute to do its work
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets Will do
the work OF your stomach for you and
digest your food just as your stOm-
ach used to when It was we'll. 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 sat
isfy your mind Now, to satisfy both
your mind and body take one Of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets after eating

will feel in your mind that your food
is being digested because you will feel
no disturbance or weight I'm your
stomach; In fact. you will forget all
about having a stomach, just as you
did when you were a healthy boy or
girl.
Stuart's 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. II makes no
difference what condition the stomach
is in they go right ahead of their own
accord and do their work. They know
their business and surrounding con-
ditions do not influence them in the
least. They thus relieve the weak
stomach of all it's burdens and give II
its much-needed rest and permit it to
become strong and healthy.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at 90 cents q

NO XMAS TREE
FOR CITY POOR
Police Commission Believes
Charity Too Great a Task
and Will End II
SUGGESTION THAT
SOCIETY KEEP UP WORK

There will be much disappoint-
ment among the poor children of the
city, as a result of the Police Com
mission deciding to do away with the
annual Christmas treat for the Door
and needy. The board took this ac-
ton yesterday afternoon after hav-
ing had the matter under considera-
tion for two weeks.
Two weeks ago the police matrons
asked the board TO suspend rule No
67 which forbids the police to so
licit money for any purpose what
ever. Yesterday they sent another
letter Withdrawing their former re-
quest and this ends the matter.
The feeling in the board was that
the charity was getting too big for
the police to handle. II entailed
much hard work on the part of the
matrons and the police. Each year
the charity grew until last Christmas
the sum of $4,000 was collected. This
sum was not all expended at that
time as the original idea had intend
ed, and instead, the charity contin-
ued practically during the entire
year. While none objected to the
police helping the poor many thought
that the Police Department should
not be turned into a charity institu-
ton by soliciting funds and distrib-
uting food and clothing to the poor.
The commission thinks there are
several worthy charitable institutions
in the city which are better equipped
for such work, and those who have
been assisting the poor through the
police each year at Christmas time
can send their contribution TO these
charities with a feeling that the money
will be well spent.
An instance of the work done by
these charities is the distribution to.
day by the Sunday Breakfast Associa-
tion of baskets of food to 150 worthy
families. Each basket contains po
tatoes, apples, corn, tomatoes, butter
bread, celery, coffee, tea, prunes and
a roast Of beef. In families where
/ there Is sickness cocoa will be added
to the list and instead of beef a larg'
sized chicken will be placed in thu
basket.
When the work of packing the bas
kets was finished last night, the Mis-
sion quarters, at No. III Shiple.

would bring to many families whel

Charity Of this kind is done by tn
Associated Charities and other in
stitutions, right along, and il 81,
900 could be collected, as for the po
lice each Christmas time, and divide
among these charities, much goo

ing hands with the wealthy MeXicans
who have suffered under the rule of
Diaz. Corral and Creel, and organized
protest. Thousands have already
fiocked to the standard Of Madero
and many thousands more are ready
TO ioin as soon as the revolutionists
gain more signal victories. Even as
far west as Lower California, the Sc
dition has spread and members of the
revolutionary junta here, freely pre-
dict that an armed uprising will start
on the Pacific side of the republic
soon.
Diaz Doubts the Army.
There is no doubt that Diaz does not
count too much on the loyalty of the
Mexican army, and is therefore anX-
I ious to nip the revolution in the bud,
and crush it before it gains much
headway. A Mexican official is quot
ed here to-day as declaring that the
rule Of Diaz is nearing its end and as
predicting that the entire Mexican
army will soon desert to the rebels.
/ The army, he points out, is mainly
/ composed of poems, who have been
convicted Of petty offenses and sent
enced TO service in the army. These
he declares, are serving unwillingly
under Diaz, and will welcome an op-
portunity to fight against him. Should
desertion start in the army, this off,
cial asserts, the entire force will soon
be fighting on the side of Madero and
Diaz will be an exile.
Late advices to-day confirm yester-
days United Press dispatches OF
desperate fighting since Sunday i'm
Torreon, Gomez Palacion, Parral and
Lerdo. It is impossible to state
positively whether the government OF
the rebels hold Gomez Palacio, though
latest advices indicate that the rebels
have taken the place.
The Mexican government officials
assert that the revolutionists had
twice captured the municipal build
ings, reinforcements late yesterday
reached the town and the rebels were
driven into the hills with heavy
losses.

FAVOR DIKES
FOR The RIVER
Engineers Agree it is Only
Feasible Plan to Deepen
Channel

Emphatic Endorsement Of the pro-
posed construction of dikes as out
lined by the Philadelphia Maritime
Exchange and other leading trade and
commercial organizations, and indors-
ed by Major Deakyne, engineer in
charge Of channel improvements at
Philadelphia, was given yesterday by
engineers and others who have for
years followed the efforts made by
the government TO deepen the chan
mel in the Delaware river.
Acting Director Hasskarl, OF the
Dock Department. who was i'm charge
of channel operations in the Delaware
under various government engineers,
declared that the present plan of dixie
construction is the only practical
plan that could be followed to eff
ciently maintain a channel depth of
80 feet.
The absence of a system OF dikes
is believed to be responsible for the
deterioration shown I'm the present
condition of the channel.
The most recent survey made by
Major Deakyne shows that, at Fort
Mifflin range, for a distance of $50
feet, the mean low water depth is
1913 feet, or nine inches below the
required 30-foot depth. At Tinicum
Island the low water depth is given
at 29.S feet At Schooner Lodge, for
length of 5000 feet, the latest mean
low water depth was found to be 25.5
feet. At Bellevue a shoal $500 feet
long was found, over which the mean
low water depth was 27.3 feet. AT
Cherry Island the shoal area extend
ed $500 feet, and the mean low water
depth was 26.S feet, and similar con-
ditions were found at other points.
