The stomach Cannot Rest.

It is mistake to suppose the stomach
can rest and thus recuperate and by this
means dyspepsia is cured. The digestive
process begins in the mouth and does not
end until the food has reached the in
testines. The 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 or gas. Rydale's Stomach
Tablets contain gust 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
+. Reynolds.

One Way To Get a Seat In the
Senate.

The United States Senate has another
FIRST class scandal on hands, involving the
purchase of seat in that body, and from
the evidence it looks like it is going to be
pretty big contract to get the affairiprop-
erly whitewashed, but no doubt this will
be accomplished in due time, as one
strong feature of the Senate is its ability
to suppress facts. This latest vote buying
scandal is but another argument in favor
of abolishing the old method of choosing
Senators and placing the choice in the
hands of the people, by popular election.
Senator William Lorimer, of Illinois.
made speech in the United States sen-
ate May aS defending himself of the
charge that his seat had been purchased.
He declared that the whole thing was a
conspiracy under the leadership of the
Chicago Tribune. On the very day Sem
ator Lorimer was speaking State Senator
d. W. Holstlaw appeared before Judge
Creighton at Springfield. ILL.,, and was
given an immuaity bath. Holstiaw con
fessed that he had received $a.S for his
vote for Lorimer. Holstlaw is democrat
and he said that another democrat. State
Senator John Broadrick of Chicago. paid
him the money. He also claimed that
Broadrick gave him $7oo additional as
his share of graft on furniture contract.
The grand jury promptly indicted Broad
rick together with Stanton c. Pember-
ton, of Oakland, Ill. a state senator, aud
Joseph S. Clark of Vandalia. member
Of the lower house. All of these men
were accused in Holstlaw's confession.

The Roman senate had FOR many
centuries but 300 members. selected
from the patricians. or aristocrats.
The office Of senator was for life.
The body was practically supreme In
matters Of legislation and administra-
ton. The majority Of votes decided
a question, and the order in which the
voting took place was invariably de-
termined by rank. beginning with the
president and ending with the quas-
tors. The senators wore on their tunics
broad purple stripe-a badge Of dis
tinction. like a modern decoration
and they had the exclusive right Of
precedence at theaters. the amphithaa-
ter and all other public gatherings.

MILLIONS EDUCATED ON CON
SUMPTION.
One eighth OF CliurChgoers Heard
Health Gospel On Tuber-
culosls Sunday.

Over A, 200. 900 churchgoers, nearly 4o,-
900 sermons and preachers. and more
than 1,25o. 900 pieces Of literature. are
some Of the totals given in preliminary
report issued today 10y the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis, of the results of the first
National Tuberculosis Sunday ever held,
on April oath.
The report states that fully one-eighth
Of the SO, ooo. 900 listed commandments of
the churches Of the United States heard
the gospel Of health on Tuberculosis Sum
day, and that the number of people who
were reached by notices and sermons
printed in the newspapers will aggregate
rs, 600, 900. Hardly paper in the conn
try failed to announce the occasion.
From clipping returns received at the
National Associations headquarters. it is
estimated that fully 10000 newspapers,
magazines, religious and technical jour
mails gave publicity TO this national event.
For this assistance on the part OF the
press, the National Association desires TO
express its thanks.
Although the movement for Tnbercu-
losis Sunday was handicapped by lack
of time and funds. the National Associa-
ton feels that the campaign has been
worth while. Many foreign countries
observed the day also. Plans are now
under way for wider observance of the
day in 1911. The active cooperation Of
every religious denomination. besides
that of the governors, mayors and public
officials, as well as that of other agencies
will be sought.
The promoters of this movement an
nounce that they do not wish to interfere
with the church calendar of any denomi-
nation. 1t is not planned to have a
special Tuberculosis Sunday as regular
church day. The plan is to have the
subject of health, and particularly tuher-
cuiosis, brought up in the churches for
any service or part of service and as
nearly simultaneously in all parts of the
country as possible.
