Overriding Worse Than Starvation
Seven Deaths Arise From This Cause
 To One Of Lack Of Food
A Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
 Tablets Sent Free

A Trial Package of stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Sent Free
 An English medical observer claims that for one death to starvation there are seven from over-eating
 His investigation is appalling and leads one to believe that among the Anglo-SaXon race over-eating is a na- tional crime.
 This investigation proves over-eat- ing to be the cause in ten cases out of twelve of dyspepsia, indigestion and stomach trouble.
 These diseases bring on decay and decline of the other organs and death ensues because, of an inability of the system to furnish proper nourishnent to the dying and afflicted parts. When one Over-eats, one exhausts the gastric fluids, throws undigested food into the intestines where it cre- ates poison and germ life and is finally absorbed in a putrid state or thrown from the system in decaying form. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will over come the ill effects of gluttony and irregular eating. They will digest an abnormal amount of food and will not leave the stomach until everything has been digested.
 AZ single one-grain ingredient of these tablets will digest 5000 grains
 
 how even .gluttony can be overcome or at least it's most harmful effects re- moved.
 Make up your mind to try Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets for one week. Take tablet after each meal and upon re- tiring at night. Every druggist car ries them in stock; price soc If you have a druggist friend ask his opinion Send us your name. and address and we will send you a trial package free by mail. Address F. A.

Chicago, Feb. 9.-The following Ireland:
 People in America may easily mis- aplrehend the circumstances in Rome Which led the vatican to refuse an. audience with the Holy Father to MT. Charles w. Fairbanks after he would have Iaade a public address before the Methodist association of that city. Most likely MT. Fairbanks, himself, did not fully realize the meaning which RoroanS would attribute to his address.
 Tt was not a question of MT. Fair banks being Methodist or going to a Methodist church in Rome for Sunday deVotlon It was a question of appear ancc to give the fullest approval to the work of the Methodist association in Rome. American Methodists in Rome are active and-I may readily say-pernicious proselyters. The Meth odist association is not in Rome to serve and meet American Methodists but to pervert from the Catholic faith all those upon whom they can bring influence to bear.
 "The purpose of the work of the fessed openly. The means employed are by ID means honorable. They take every advantage of the poverty of the poor of Rome. The books circulated and displayed in the windows of their book stores are islanders against the "Catnolic faith; the Holy Pontiff, at Rome and misrepresentatio tion of the whole Catholic system.
 "A public address by a former vice president of the United States before the Methodist association can have no ether meaning in the eyes of the Ro- man public than the approval of Amer ica on the propaganda of the Metho- dist association. Had the Holy Father, guardian of the spiritual interests of the Catholic church of the world, snlil- ingly welcomed MT. Fairbanks to an audience on the following day in what other position would he appear to be than giving his approval to the propa- San6ia of the Methodist association be- fore which the address had been giV- en:
 "There are in Rome Protestant American churches for the benefit of Americans that put forth legitimate efforts, mind their own business and make no war on the Catholic church. What I have said of the Methodists in Rome does not apply to the other churches there.
 ''I shall leave for New York today ard I shall be pleased to answer the Methodists here or in the east at any time. I cannot make it too plain that am not attacking the entire Metho- dist church but merely the Methodist association at Rome. I am not too old to enter a fight when the occasion requires it.''
