the suspension of Patrolmen Charles
Craft, John Mannion and George
Sheedy by the Board of Police Com

A Trial Package of stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets sent Free.
The Able Spallanzani was the first
scientist TO study systematically the
chemical powers of the gastric juice,
but it was by the careful and ~convinc-
ing experiments of Beaumont that the
foundations of our exact knowledge OF
its composition and action was laid,
Beaumont was an army surgeon, To-
Gated at an obscure military post in
Michigan, while it was yet a territory,
and was called upon to treat a gun
shot wound OF the stomach in a Cana
dian voyagenr-Alexis st. Martin. When
the wound healed a permanent opening
was left by means of which food could
be placed in the stomach and gastric
juice taken from it.
Beaumont made scientific expert
ments with his crude means and wrote
a book, which today is recognized
among the classics of physiology.
Beaumont hlazed the way for other
scientists, Sc that today medicine knows
what the stomach does with food and
what food does to the stomach.
Science also knows what the gastric
juices are and how TO make them best
for the system.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. thanks to
the poor army surgeon and Alexis st.
Martin, give man a means of digesting
food, replenlshing the exhausted juices,
soothing the nerves and correcting dys-
peptic conditions of the stomach.

Germ on Trial in Jersey City.

JERSEY CITY. Feb. 1S.-Testimony

Lawyer Fisk objected to it being called
a bucket shop and declared there is
no law in New Jersey against the run
ming of bucket shops" Mr.. Vickers
said there was, and called the attention
of counsel. for the defense to the fact
that in New Jersey the places called
bucket shops" are known. as disorderly
houses. Mr.. Fisk said he couldn't I'M
derstand. how a'place like the Standard

didn't deal with resident patrons, could
be called q disorderly house.

ton to the fact that Altemus had been
arrested in a raid on the Celia Commits.

Coal Mine Fatalities.

In summing up the coal mine fatal.
ties for the ear 1909 the United
States Geological Survey finds encour-
agement in the fact that the number
was fewer than I'm 1908, although there
was an increase OF approximately 10
per cent. in the quantity OF coal min.
ed.
The total number of fatal accidents
in 1909 was 2412 against 2,45O in the
preceding year. The statistician OF the
Geological Survey says the decrease is
all the more gratifying because of
the fact that four States were
represented in last years Stats
tics from which no reports of acct
dents have been received previously.
These States are Georgia, Oregon, Tex
as and Virginia, and the report says
'the number of men killed in these
four States was thirty-four. which
makes the showing for 1909 still more
favorable"
The statistics as to the production
OF coal and the number OF men en-
ployed are not complete and the Geo,
logical Survey has not been able to
make comparisons of the death rate
per thousands of employees or of the
tonnage mined for each life lost It is
estimated, however that the total pro.
duction in 1909 was about 45O. 900 900
short tons against 416,0OO,0OO in 1908.
On the basis of this estimate the out.
put OF 1909 was 1s6.567 tons for each
life lost against T67,545 In 1908.
The record as to the number of non.
fatal accidents Is not so ENCOURAGING.
In fact the number of men injured last
year was unprecedented, the total be.
ing 1879. This was an increase OF
more than 1000 over 1908, "and 1909
showed an increase In non-fatal acct.
dents OF more than 400 over 1907"
Considering the large number of these
accidents and the additional fact that
the disaster at Cherry, ILL.,, with its
accompanying loss of 303 lives Is not
included in the figures OF the Geologi.
cal Survey, the showing for 1909 is
not entirely favorable. The Cherry ex.
plosion occurred in November, 1909,
but the reports OF the mine inspectors
in Illinois end with the fiscal year on
June 30. The fatalities at Cherry
therefore will be included i1 the liz.
nois repoc> for the fiscal year which
ended June 30. 1910.
1t remains true, as heretofore, that
the loss OF life in American coal
mines is remarkably heavy as compar-
ed with other countries where coal is
mined. 1t is expected that the estab.
lishment OF the new Federal Bureau
OF Mines will have a tendency to re.
duce fatalities. Certainly Il is to be
hoped that such will be the case
