Give Your Stomach
a Chance
To Furnish the System the Neees-
sary Fluids to Drive Dyspep-
STA From the Stomach.
A Trial Package Free.

You should give to your stomach the
chemicals it needs to restore tone.
Vigor and health to the gastric fluids
Food contains all these ingredients
so necessary. and when the stomach is
IN a normal condition it separates
these ingredients as it should and man
ufactures it's own digestive agents, but
when 1t is sick and sore, filled with
acids and alkalies that irritate every
thing they come in contact with, it
does not get at the food as it should
and cannot make its own juices cor
rectly.
Science has proven Just what is most
necessary to the stomach to produce
the correct gastric fluids and to make
of digestion naturally pleasant duty.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are so
made as to give the stomach the high
est chemical properties to aid digestion.
These tablets are made up from pure
fruit and vegetable essences, and this
is the formula: I1ydrastis, Golden Seal,
Lactose. Nux, Aseptic Pepsin (the high
est digestive known, and Jamaica
Ginger. Its preparation peculiarly pre-
serves the full strength of these in
gradients, SO that they go into the
stomach strong and capable of digest
ing food of any character. Forty thou
sand physicians use and prescribe them.
Ask your doctor his opinion of the
formula above. Every druggist sells
them, price so c-.lts per box, or send
us your name and address and we will
send you a trial package by mail free.

they require improvement you should
present the matter in the strongest and
most positive way to the patrons and
road officials, informing them that i'm
provements must be made as soon as
practicable. If, after a reasonable
time has elapsed, the improvements
have not been made or started. you
will report the fact to this office in

Mr.. 1att's Little Secretary, Knon,
FOrgetS a Precedent

Two Americans, Groce and Cannon took
their risk, and joined the rebels who were
fighting President Zelaya, of Nicaragua. Be
ing captured, redhanded, they were tried by
court-martial, and shot.
Secretary Knox rushed war vessels to Mica
raguan waters, trained guns on Zelaya's capt.
tai, and forced him into resigning. Senator
Rayner, of Maryland, who ought to have
held his peace, made speech passionately
clamoring for Zelayas trial for murder!
Has everybody forgotten the fate of
Walker, the once notorious Filibuster?
Just before our Civil War, William Walker
fomented rebellion in Nicaragua, and actually
set up rickety government there But he
was soon driven out, and returned to New
Orleans.
Shortly afterwards, he got up a rebellion
in Honduras. It appears that almost any
one, with money and arms, can stir the Cen
trail Americans into revolution But Walkers
rebellion failed and he took refuge on Brit
ish gunboat. The authorities of Honduras
demanded him of the English, and he was
surrendered. Tried by court-martial, he was
condemned, and shot.
The precedent would seem to be on all
fours with the Groce Cannon case.
