1t has only been a few years since
It was discovered that a surgical oper-
alton would cure appendicitis; in fact.
X has been but a short time since the
disease was discovered and named.
Whenever there is an infiamed condi-
ton of the appendix. caused by IMPACT
ed faces in the small cavity opening
into the intestine. you then have ap-
pendicitis.
The older doctors used to call this
Inflammation of the bowels, and were
puzzled to know the cause.
Even now with all the knowledge we
have OF the disease. no medical man
can tell you WHY we should have an ap-
pendix, why we find it where it is, or
what are it's functions. if it has any.
Tie dises Sc for which .he operation
is a cure is usually caused by indiges-
ton, and in many cases follows large
and indjgestible meal.
Physicians have until recently recon-
mended an operation. but now. as 1t is
known that it is caused by Indigestion,
or dyspepsia. a cure without an opera
ton is assured
Where the patient is treated with Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. the unhealthy
conditions prevailing rapidly disap-
pear, the stomach and intestines are
placed back in their normal condition,
every organ of the body operates as 1t
should. and the Inflammation is reduced
and the operation IS avoided.
Conscientious physicians, who are
looking after the best interests of their
patients, will always keep supply of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets handy in
their Office, where in cases of sudden
attacks of indigestion they can relieve
the patient at once.
There is no record of a case of ap-
rendicitis where the stomach and bow
els were in a healthy condition and pro-
perly digested the food from meal to
meal.
No better advice can be given to any
one who has attacks of indigestion, or
who has been threatened with append
citis, then to tell him to go to the drug
store, pay so cents. and take home a
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Whenever heartburn gas in stomach
or bowels. heart disease or stomach
troubles. sour quotations, acidity or
fermencations are present. act at once.
Take a dose of the Tablets and get
relief as soon as possible.
At all druggists-50 cents.

day and we will a. once send you by

comparatively slow growth in tic worlds supply of sheep and consequent advance in the price of wool. Some of the statistics obtained by the department are as follows
 From Australia, in the case of beef preserved by the cold process, the ex- port price advanced from s5.23 per hun dred pounds in 1899 to 35.40 in 1908, mutton and lamb from s3.S2 per hun dred pounds in 1899 to s647 in 1908
 In New Zealand similar conditions are shown In the report, while in Ar gentina the export price of frozen beef In 1897-1S99 was s1.75 per hundred pounds and the price for 1900-190S, $439; of frozen mutton for 1S97-1S9g, s1.75 per hundred pounds and 1900-190S, $3.50.
 In Canada, the value of fresh beef ex- ports advanced from an average of g. cents per pound in 1898 to S.2 cents in 1908. That of mutton from 6 I to Il. , cents per pound, and pork advanced from 3.S cents per pound to g cents. Meat imports into the United King dom in the period from 1S96 to 1908 show advances in nearly every case, the principal exception being fresh beef, of which the average price per hundred pounds deeroased from SS.21 in 1896 to s7.S9 in 1908. The import price per hundred pounds of salted fbeef advanced from y5.S3 to 38I5, pre- served beef from 311.39 to s1S.4s; pre- served mutton from $7.15 to $IO.37. and pork from $7.77 to $S.56 per hundred pounds.

southern question and one as acute as that of slavery.
 There has been for long while politi cal agitation of the race question and men have in the south mainly sought of flee by appealing to this prejudice.
 Happily this era seems to be passing. Recently Leroy Percy, a scion of the best stock of the old south. was elected to the United States Senate from Missis- sippi upon the distinct announcement that he made his candidacy upon the proposition that men should no longer be put into office in the south whose political characteristic was that they stood as agitators of the race question and kept alive race prejudice.
 This action on the part of Mississippi is a hopeful sign that the race question will be greatly mininized if not taken out of politics and that the south, freed from this disturbing factor, can without it's baneful influence address itself to eco homie and industrial questions which ar feet its welfare, the treatment of which has in the past been so detrlmentally subordinated to the one question which has always been insistent and always ominous.
 With the negro and the negro ques- tion out of politics, his condition will be better, he will have better develop ment and will participate in any general prosperity which will come

NEGRO PROBLEM AS
 GREAT AS WAS SLAVERY

New Haven. Conn.,, March e.-(speeial.) Secretary Dickinson, of the war depart ment. told the Yale Southern club that the negro problem is today as great as slavery ever was. but that 1t seems to be nearing solution. He said:
 Because of the large number of ne- groes livisse in this country with the whites, all having equal rights under the law, there is and always will be a ne- gro problem that we cannot expect to see settled in the sense that there will be no conflicts and that a stable, continual basis regulating the relations between the two races will be reached at any time in the near future The difficulties are en- hanced by the fact that on account of economic conditions and race prejudice, which, while theoretically not so. yet are in fact more intense in the north than in the south.
 rgNhe effect ofs-sllese forces is to keep the great masses of the negroes pent up in the south. There is no large outlet for them in the north. Only small per centage can get work there that will support them. These conditions are not improving. This congestion In the south makes the negro question primarily a

RAGE WAR FEARED
 IN FLORIDA TOWN

Tampa, Fla, March GA serious clash between the races is threatened at Pal metto a small town 40 miles south of Tampa, as result of the killing of two prominent white men this afternoon by negroes. The last message tonight from the scene of the crimes states that POO whites, with bloodhounds, are pursuing several negroes, and if they are caught summary punishment will be meted out

In an exchange of shots which followed Dpeuty Sheriff Matthews, who led the chase, was shot and killed.
 As the posse was a small one the off cers left for rein forcements and the ne- groes escaped from the house. Tonight the chase Is being continued and if the negroes are apprehended it Is almost cer- tain that they will be lynched. Sheriff Wyatt telegraphed to Tampa at 10 o'clock for additional bloodhounds.

ARE FIGHTING FOR
 HEALTH BUREAU

Washington, March e-Although not sure of obtaining either, the advocates of a governmental division, whose duty It shall be to look after the health of the country, are in conflict as to whether they shall press for the establishment of a department with a member of the cabi- net at its head, or a mere bureau. whose chief would be a subordinate to some other official with no independent voice Of his own.
 Senator Owens of Oklahoma is moving for department, while committee of 100, having the matter generally in hand. is championing the establishment of a bureau. Action in the interest of the bureau has had the effect of calling out a vigorous protect from MT. Owens. He has written a letter to Irving Fisher of New York, in which he says he ewill stand for larger service until 1t becomes evident that success is impossible. in which event he would accept half 8 loaf"
 In the course of his letter. Senator Owen says.
 .ie lack of department of public health has permitted the bubcnic plague to infec. the country contiguous to San Francisco through the ground squirrel and wood rat for over hundred miles, while the commercial bodies of San Fran cisco suppressed the truth and made inef- fective the efforts of one bureau to stamp out the infection A department of public health could not be suppressed by boards of trade, but could make its energies ef- fectiye while a bureau was suppressed. and the United States is now in a flair way to be affected with the bubonic plaeae from the Atlantic to the Pacific, just as India is through similar processes.
 Speaking generally of the importance Of public care for the health. Mir. Owens says that if reduced only. to the extent of one in thousand. 5000 human lives would be saved annually. Reducing these figures to a commercial basis, he calcu- lates the annual saving at $40o 0Oo,0o0.

Price Of Meat Is On
 The Upgrade 7's All
 Parts Of The World

Washington, March 6-Meat prices have advanced in all the principal con suming and producing sections of the world, according to statistics compiled by the department of commerce and labor.
 The report shows the chief meat ex : porting countries of the world to be Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Canada and the United States; the chiei meat importing countries, the United Kingdom, Germany and, in a less de- gree, the other European countries.
 All of the meat exporting countries show higher prices per pound in their exports in recent years than those of d decade ago, and all the meat importing countries show higher rates in their i'm : port figures and the current market quotations.
 The advance in fresh meat prices is less than that in salted and preserved meats. and in nearly all cases the ad- vance in beef is less than that in pork or mutton. The fact that the percentage of advance in the price of fresh meats especially those shipped In the chilled or frozen state, has not been as great as the advance in salted or preserved meats. Is said to be due to reductions made In the last few years in the cost of chilling or freezing and transport ing meats of this class. The advance in mutton is regarded as due to the

Cleveland, Ohio. March 6.-Denying In detail the charges made recently in Congress by Congressman Steenerson against tn e Merchant Marine league for mer Governor Myron T. Herrick of Ohio tonight issued lengthy statement de- manding an inquiry by Congress into the allegations.

 In his statement Mir Herrick says in part:
 The request of Congressman Stee- nerson for an investigat ton of the Mer- chant Marine league affords an oppor- unity which its officers and members welcome for giving the American peo- pie to understand what we have been doing with reference to the reinstate- ment of the American fog on the ocean going commerce of the world"

New York, March 6.-In view of pros- pective early issue of from s40.000.0o0 to S5O, ,000, GOO worth of city bonds, Controller Prendergast has issued a statement of the citys finances which is said to be the frankest and most ella borately de- tailed exposition ever made. The con troller fixes the net funded debt of the city at $64S, ,S7s .ss9. and the borrowing ca pacity. or debt limit at s5s,764,2o7. The actual cash on hand is given as 026, with outstanding warrants for s5,27l ,S4S.
 plan is outlined for eliminating def- cheney ef $49, ,0c0 600. which has been piling up for years through the Issuance of securities against taxes, which have proved impossible to collect.
 Experience" says the controller, has shown that large amount of taxes, based mainly upon personal and, in part upon franchise assessments, is uncollect- able. In order to provide for the extine- ton of this deficiency l intend to issue corporate stock to the extent of S5.0000 0o0 annually and further extinction should be provided for in yearly budgets. Three millions of the present bond issue will be for the purpose of funding this debt.
