The stomach Cannot Rest.

II 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 few minutes, or any other
organ. Pepsin paucreatin, 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 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 wayyit
can he cured. Ask us about them. Eli

How prohlbltlon Works In Cecil
County.

The longer prohibition law is kept in
force lie efficiency and its benefits become
the more apparent. II continuously
creates favorable public sentiment, and
constantly and gratifyingly disconrages
any tanpering with the evil which it is
designed ultimately to destroy. The en-
forcement of the law at FIRST was resisted
strongly, and violations were of no in
frequent occurrence. In fact, in the
early days convictions were hard to
secure. But change gradually came
about. Now, the law is as well enforced
and as much respected as any other law
ion the statute books. At one time grand
uric were kept busy for several days in
gestigating alleged violations of law.
The last grand jury completed its work
ID two days, and was not confronted by
single liquor case; nor was it called
upon to investigate any case of wrong
doing that even remotely could be traced
to Intoxicating drink as cause. A grand
inquest that lasted but two days, when
the bar-rooms were in full blast, was an
unknown occurrence North East Star.

The Farmers Share.

The following table shows what pro-
portion of each dollar spent for various
commodities finds its way back 10 the
farmer:
Clothing. "a cents; Boots and shoes,
go cents; Wooden goods, 46 cents; cotton
goods, Az cents; leather, so cents; -four,
81 cents; meat, 66 cents; liquor, cents.
That Is to say: If Jones spends $T.oo for
-four the farmer gets 81 cents of IL II
Jones spent $500 for drink the farmer
gets cents Of it. If Jones buys dollars
worth of meat Sc cents OF it ultimately
goes back into the farmers pocket. II
Zones buys dollars worth of whiskey
the farmer gets nickel out of it.
Local option leads Jones to spend his
money for meat and -four instead of for
Whiskey and beer.
That's why every farmer who is onto
his job Is for Local Option.
II the money now spent for drink were
spent for the necessities of life the farm
ers would have additional market for one
billion dollars worth Of their products.
Under license towns and cities have
saloons, get the revenue, produce the
poverty, insanity and crime. The farm
ers pay the bills IN heavy taxation and
get no profits. White Ribbon Herald.

One of the features of the Electrical

Square Garden, New York, is the device
Of 9 French inventor. Jules BRAND, to
kill mosquitoes and other insects by
shooting them with an electrical current.
! M. BRAND claims that there is nothing
from trained flea to an English sparrow
that his mechanism will not slay. To the
managers of the show be displayed a

pointed at the object of attack and the
current allowed to ooze out there was an
abrupt cessation of animal life.
AS result of this experiment M. Bri-

that Illinois, with coal supply scienti6-

DENIAL IS ISSUED
BY MUSSELM
Says He Had No Connection With
Attack On Osborn, But Doesn't Deny
His Men Circulated Papers.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Aug. 3d.
(SpecialD-Candidate Amos Mussel-
man today gave out his reply TO
Chase s. Osborn's demand for a repu-
diaticn of the Escanaba Journals at
tack on Osborns personal character
which the Osborn people assert is be
ing circulated throughout the state as
campaign material for Musselman.
Musselman seeks to evade respon.
sibility by asserting that he personal
ly knew nothing of the attack and did
not circulate the alleged libelous state
ments. He fails however to deny that
the Musselman campaign committee
circulated the paper as charged by
Osborn.
Proceedings have been instituted by
Osborn against two other active Mus
selman papers, the Marquette Chron-
icie and Coral News, both of which re-
published the alleged libelous article.
We propose declared W. +. Knox,
Osborn's manager today, by making
an object lesson of these editors who
recklessly assault a mans personal
character to put an end in Michigan to
character assassination under the
cloak OF partisan politics. Every case
we have started will be pushed to a
finish"
