The Stomach Cannot Rest.

tits a mistake to suppose the stomach
can rest and thus recuperate and by this
means-d dyspepsia is cured. The digestive
process begins in the mouth and does not
end until the food has reached the in
testines. Thel salivary. glands in the
mouth, the stomach, lower stomach. liver,
spleen, etc, take part in the digestive
process. This process is going on con-
tinously. Think of resting the heart or
the lungs for a few minutes. or any other
organ. Pepsin pancreatin. etc. do not
rest the stomach, they digest the residue
of food weak digestive system cannot
digest and thus relieve the body of irri-
tating acids orsYgas. Rydale's Stomach
Tablets contain just enough Pepsin, and
Pancreatin to do this They also con.
tain many vegetable tonics and stimulants
for the digestive tract Rydale's Stomach
Tablets cure dyspepsia the only way it
can be cured. Ask us about them. Eli

The commoner says of the attempts Of
the liquor interests in Nebraska to pre-.
vent the submission of county option in
that State, by keeping it out Of the demo
cratic platform:
But what Is the natural result of their
impudent and insolent entry into politics.
They will possibly learn after awhile that
the more active the liquor interests are in
politics the more they will disgust, the
public and the more vigorous will be thu
protest from the voters. If they insist
upon sowing the wind they must expect
to reap the whirlwind. Ifthey could by
any possibility defeat county option they
will simply hasten state prohibition-noi
because 3 majority ofthe people desire it,
but because the people will not submit 10
the domination Of the liquor interests. !"
This not only applies TO the State Of
Nebraska, but throughout the country.
The more active the liquor interests be-
come IN plying their nefarious business,
the more hatred they arouse among the
people, the vast majority Of whom are
unalterably opposed to the saloon.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

When Theodore Roosevelt goes West
TO speak at Ossawatomie, Denver and st.
Paul he goes to set the prairies flaming
with insurgency. He will not attack the
Administration, but he win back.fire it
with program of reforms likely TO drive
the country rampant politically from the
Lakes to the Gulf and from Maine to the
Golden Gate II will be an advanced
program, even from the progressive stand
point-these new ..policies of mine. y
How far his utterance will serve TO stir
up movement for his denomination
cannot, of course, be foretold, but it will
not be surprising if a powerful renomina-
ton movement grows ont oft.
The Roosevelt speeches were prepared
weeks ago, but in the past few days events
have led TO refurbishing. Their utter
ances have been made more specific.
The reasons relate TO the evidences of
the growth of the insurgent movement as
seen in tie results Of the. Kansas
primaries, the outcome of the great VIC
tory in California and the splendid align
ment of Nebraska with the cause.
Roosevelt has been guided to large
extent by Clifford Pinchot, the deposed
chief forester, who was let out of Office by
President Taft. 1t is known that the
speeches were prepared in the light of the
reports made to Roosevelt by Pinchot,
Garfield, and others as to sentiment in
the West, and as to the extent of the sup
| port of the iusurgent policies.
Among the policies which Roosevelt
will favor will be the initiative and ref
erendum and the recall to- limited ex-
tent. He will speak ont for the election
of Senators by direct vote. He will take
strong ground on the railroad question,
going SO far. as to favor rate. making by
the Government in case rate supervision
by the Interstate Commerce Commission
is not found TO be successful. He will
favor strict Government control of rail-
road capitalization, with q physical valua-
ton of the roads. He will favor Govern
ment control of all interstate corporations
whose business tends insthe direction Of
monopoly. Onconservatioa he will speak
out in the most vigorous fashion.
