THE FEAR OF HUMBUG
Prevents Many People From Trying
Good Medicine

Stomach troubles are so common ana
in most cases so obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with Suspicion
on any remedy claiming to be radical,
permanent cure for dyspepsia and in
digestion. Many such pride themselves
on their acuteness in never being num-
bugged. especially in medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can De
carried too far, so far, In fact, tnat
many people suffer for years with weak
digestion rather than risk a little time
and money in faithfully testing the
claims made Of a preparation so re-
liable and universally used as stuart
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
spect from ordinary proprietary medl-
cines for the reason that they are not
a secret patent medicine, no secret Is
made of their ingredients, but ana1y-
sis shows them to contain the natural
digestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin

cathartic, neither do they act power
fully on any organ, but they cure In
digestion on. the common sense plan
of digesting the food eaten thoroughly
before it has time to ferment, sour and
cause the mischief. This Is the only
secret of their succeN
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach trou-
bles. because they act entirely on the
bowels. whereas the whole trouble is
really in the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken
after meals digest the food. That Is all
there is to it. Food not dfgested OF
half digested is poison, as it creates
gas acidity. headaches, palpitation OF
the heart. loss of flesh and appetite and
many other troubles which are. often
called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists every

CALL TO PUBLISH
GREAT CITY novel
Serial Rights to "The Day Of
Souls a San Francisco
Story, Secured
First Installment of Stirring
Tale of Old Town Will
Appear Oct. 23

The Call has secured the serial rights
to Charles Tenney Jackson's great
novel of San Francisco, THE Day of
Souls,"s and the stirring story will
begin publication in the Sunday maga-
zine section on Sunday, October 23..
The Call feels that it has been rarely
fortunate in securing the rights of
serial presentation of this book to its
readers. 'The Day of Souls" has al
ready made its name.
Charles Tenney jackson is one of the
younger writer's. The book is his sec
ond from the publishers, and his work
has covered a period of II or IA years.
He has been contributor to the maga-
zines and has done much for the iuve-
nile readers, though his earlier stories
in the Youths Companion, and his
newspaper experiences in the middle
west and on the Pacific coast (Jackson
calls it ''unrequited grindo formed the
basis for higher attainments. His first
book went into several editions.
PASSION FOR OUTDOOR LIFE
Passion for the outdoor life led him
| to Florida at the outbreak of the
| Spanish American war. Later he ac-
companied the governor of Wisconsin
and party to the Pacific coast as repre-
sentative of one, of the Milwaukee
dailies on the occas sion of the launching
of. the battleship Wisconsin.
San Francisco afforded new impress
sions and contrasts that Immediately
| impelled him to study the life he has
described in 1.-The Day of Souls" He
| became a part of it, shared it's reckless,
irresponsible existence and has written
what seems a true delineation of the
pleasure loving, diversion seeking city
that was before the fire.
Jackson's letters to a friend cover
many phases of his thought and indi-
cate a brilliant mind. OF his latest
work he said, before it was sent to the
publishers:
TITLE FROM JAPANESE
1.-The title is taken from an ancient
japanese festival and it is a mystical
occult effort with a background of
| graft-that is, the Submotive of the
novel is graft, as we style it. Only,
| instead of handling the situation as a
| study of corrupt municipal conditions.
| simply take the soul of one man. d
| tool-a worker-of the corruptionists
and show the effect on him of the in
exorable conditions against which he is
striving; 1 drag him down and then
regenerate him later through his en-
counter with a mystical influence
love, of course, furnishing the theme
for his reclaiming-that and his own
spiritual qualities. How this queer
working out will suit the buying public
I do not know, but I'll get the critics
on it, I'm sure, in the matter of treat
ment, and that's what makes man,
after alrs said and done"
/ Jackson did get the critics with

of The CalFs readers who reads the first
installment of the great noyel, the
scenes of which are laid in this city.

This is MY 18TH BIRTHDAY"
ViscOunt Maidstone

Viscount Maidstone, who is soon
to wed Miss Margaretta Drexel of
Philadelphia, was born May %,
1885, the son of the thirteenth Earl
of Winchelsea, who succeeded his
brother, the twelfth earl, in 1898.
Viscount Maidstone was educated at
Elton and at Magdalen College, Ok
ford. He is a noted sportsman and
is keenly interested in the Territorial
Army, being lieutenant in the East
Kent Yeomanry. He comes of fam
lily that has figured prominently in
English history. One of his ances-
tors was Sir Heneage Finch, who was
Keeper of the Great Seal and Lord
High Steward of England. The fam
lily has not been wealthy for the last
few generations. The family places
to which the Viscount will one day
succeed are Harlech in Merioneth-
shire and Kirkby Hall, very beau
tiful and interesting place in North
amptonshire. The earldom of Win
chelsea dates from 1928, the first
holder being Lord High Chancellor
of England.

The Road Business.

F. M. Berry, county engineer Of
Chelan county, is the author of an
article published Monday in the We
natchee World proposing a new road
building system for our neighbors on
the south that is of special interest
to the people of Okanogan county, as
the road conditions here are identical
with those in Chelan county. Mr..
Berry proposes to create Improvement
districts and compel the sections
profiting most by the road work done
to bear the burden of expense, while
the connecting links through sparse
ly settled districts would be con-
structed by means of county funds
provided by a bond issue. In this
manner a uniform system of roads
could be had and the heaviest expense
shouldered on the people who receive
the greatest bnefits.
The road improvement problem is
one of the most vexing that the peo-
pie of Okanogan county have to deal
with and under the existing road
laws it appears that no relief is in
sight BY the system now in force
it seems impossible to get an equit-
able distribution of funds to do the
work Some sections are favored
with good roads built by the county
money while others are neglected.

ticket, though he was not then a can
didate for any office. Later he was
elected prosecuting attorney on the
republican ticket in Walla Walla.
After he removed to Spokane he was
elected judge of the superior court
and without doubt would have been
reelected had he not decided to be-
come a candidate con congress Had
he decided to again stand for con-
gress there would have been no OPP
position to his candidacy. His stand
as. an Independent republican against
the Cannon-Aldrich combination is
too well known to require comment.
1t is not only approved of by four
out of five of the republican voters
of eastern Washington, but he would
have been condemned by about that
percentage had he not taken that
stand. The great mass of the repub-
lican voters, those who are republi-
can from principle, as distinguished
from those who are republicans for
office or because the party has in the
past made laws for their particular
benefit, are in sympathy with and
will vote for progressive republicans
for the good of the party.-Leaven-
worth Echo.

PUBLIC SPIRIT COUNTS.

Activity is the most compelling
force in the building up of a town
Or city and activity is conditioned on
public spirit. Outsiders are always
attracted to community which
gives evidences of life. The mere
possession of wealth if not used in
promoting public enterprise is of lit
tie value. This is seen in the fact
that many communities with less
wealth but more public spirit forge
steadily ahead of those which have
really better advantages or opportu.
mites. Newcomers seek those places
where they see evidences of life and
public spirit And activity operates
as a stimulous to those already liv-
ing in place.
1t is going to cost something to
construct the Carnegie library, to
construct the Young Mems Christian
Association building, to build
churches and schools, but when the
walls of such structures are in pro-
cess of erection, the whole commun-
ity feels encouraged. If a man has
money to invest he feels a greater
F 1nducement to invest it because he
knows that life, growth and activity
are the forces of progress. When a
friend or a stranger visits the city
and it is desired to give him some
conception of the spirit of the people,
he is shown the library or the Com
mercial Club building, the Y. NJ. c.
A. building, the parks, not vacant
lots and old tumbled down shacks.
Count over the men who are most
instrumental in building up the town
and it will be found that those who
are willing to contribute to enter
prises of a public character are the
ones who represent the real forces
of progress. Every town and city
has men who never contribute a dol
lar to any public enterprise and they
are the men who are of no help to
the community in which they live.
They are universally known as tight
wads" and their memorials die with
them.

Washington, supporting the candi-
dacy of either that perennial seeker
after senatorial honors, Hon. John L.
Wilson, with no particular political
principle beyond wanting to go to
the United States senate, or the Hon.
Thomas Burke, a very nice old gen.
tleman with clean record as far as
anyone knows, but who has all his
life been allied with the large corpor-
ate interests, are making the silly OBJ
jections to the candidacy of Mr.. PO-
indexter that he was once a demo-
crat and is therefore now not good
republican. They cannot accept Mr..
Poindexter on account of his former
democracy and present insurgency,
but are perfectly willing to swallow
Mr.. Wilson without SO much as bat
ting an eye, and yet in a democratic
convention at Spokane in 1888 he
made a speech, which was reported
in the press, in which he said: eff
it is necessary the people will have
to take up arms to rid the country
of the rule Of the republican party"
In the great free silver campaign
of 1896 Judge Burke was one Of the
strongest of the gold standard demo-
Gratis, and if he has ever renounced
his democracy publicly We have new
err heard it. We have the right, In
the light of the facts, to presume that
Mr.. Burke is still a democrat. With
all these facts before them there are
certain men who call themselves re-
publicans who are ready to swallow
either one or both of these gentlemen,
but Mr.. Poindexter, oh, no, he's not
a good republican.
The facts about Mr.. Poindexter's
leaving the democratic party are
thus: In 1896, when the democratic
party was in the majority and the
populist party was rampant he an
nounced his conversion to the doc
trines of the republican party at
Walla Walla, when there was no hope
of being elected on the republican
