ACID DYSPEPSIA

 Acid in the Stomach.
A Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
 Tablets Sent Free.

Sour stomach" or acid dyspepsia is a form of indigestion in which entire ly too much hydrochloric acid is se- creted by the stomach. A sour taste in the mouth is the most common saliva. which is normally alkaline. is found, when tested to be changed to acid. or just the opposite of what it should be. and is a state of secre- ton which causes rapid and extensive destruction of the teeth.
 Everything eaten turns more or less sour in the stomach. but sweets and acid fruits are far worse in this re- spect than other foods. If the eructa- tion of liquids from the stomach oc- CUTS. they have such an extremely sour taste as to set the teeth on edge
 Hydrochloric acid is an important constituent in the gastric juice. but when too much of 1t is secreted. it does positive harm to the mucous lining of the stomach; and when acid dyspepsia is long continued it often sets up chronic gastritis. gastric ulcer. and other serious diseases. The premature loss of all the teeth has been caused by acid saliva. which was dependent upon the excessively acid condition of the stomach.
 STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS. besides furnishing pure. aseptic pepsin to the stomach to dilute the excess of hydrochloric acid. and to digest pro- teids and albuminous foods very thor oughly. also contain bismuth subni- trate and calcium carbonate. which are antagonistic to the acid. and there fore neutraliZe the effect of the exces- sive amount of the acid in the stomach, and the continued use of these tablets will change the perverted condition of the secretions to normal state.
 If you are suffering from hyper chlor- -hydria," as physicians term it. or in other words. acid dyspepsia. and experience sour taste in the mouth. with acid eructations or heartburn, be- gin at once the use of Stuarts Dys- pepsia Tablets, using one or two after each meal, or as may be required, and the same quantity at retiring time, for if this trouble is allowed to run on it may cause serious organic changes in the stomach. There are cases on record where the lining of the stom- ach has been completely eaten away through perverted action of the secre- tions.

AN ADOPTED AMERICAN
 FOUGHT FOR THE FLAG
And Was Arrested For Disturbance
 of the Peace

Attorney Thomas Flannigan of Globe. who has been in the city in the Daley case. yesterday told story illustrative of the difficulties foreign CTS have in comprehending the duties of American citizenship. Sometime before Judge Nave retired from the bench he admitted a Lithuanian, en- ployed in one of the mines. The triotic American citizen and in his examination before the court he an- swered all the questions enthusiastic cally. He was not an anarchist and would never become one. He would defend his adopted country against all it's enemies whatsoever and he would fight for the American flag. His earnest manner met all the rigid requirements of naturalization.
 A few days later he entered the of flee of MT. Flannigan and told him he wanted to employ him to, defend him against a charge of assault The mans eyes were blackened. his face was lacerated numerously and his clothing was torn and blood bespat- tered.
 The attorney inquired into the cir cumstances of the case and the Lith- unanian replied: Tt was dis away. Ze judge he ask me will you fight for ze American flag and I say I will. Down at ze boarding house where Tiff two Italian feller talk bad about ze American flag and I remember vot say to ze judge and sail into dose feller and lick hell out of 'em. l am arrest for flghtin' for ze Am- erican flag"

SESSION
 IN POLICE COURT
The Scapegoats Deliver Orations in
 Their Own Behalf

The walls of the police court. pre- sided over by Judge Thomas. re. sounded with oratorical effort yester- day and reminded one in a vagu way of the days of the old Roman forum. or Of its more modern coun terpart. national political conven- ton. S
 The cause for this unusual burst part of the scapegoats to avoid the penalty for their misdeeds.
 A quiet young man with an elusive smile started the display of elocution His name fssEd Walker and he came here from St. Raul. He was arrested as vagrant. Walker admitted coyly that he was hunger. It was shown that he had obtained a certificate to that effect from a prominent phy- sician. This certificate, he told the doctor he wanted so that he could send it back to his uncle in the east and get money for his support. In- stead of sending it 10 his uncle-if he had one-he used it on the street and collected many two-bit piece from sympathetic strangers.
 In summing up his case, Judge Thomas said:
 You do not appear to be too sick to work. and there is no institution I know of that will take you for nothing. How would you like to leave town?"
 T would dearly love to leave town replied the youth with the elusive smile. T will go to Tucson at once"
 Tt is hard on Tucson" said the court, but I don't know what else to do with you
 Next to Walker was J. H. Wall, who burst forth into a spasm of elo- quence. His metaphors were choice and his logic faultless. except that he admitted the impeachment of drunk enness. Rhetoric flowed from his tonque as from the lips of Cicero whose extant effigy he somewhat re- sembles. Wall noted the success of the lunger's argument and said:
 'I am too a hunger. your honor. If you put me in that cold dark jail I know it will be injurious to me. I have served in the army and navy. judge. and it was here I learn ed to love my little dram of rum. Sometimes I go as long as three months without drop"
 But the supply of mercy had given out by this time and the orator was fined the usual price and given several weeks in which to pay it., so his eloquence was not wholly wasted.
