THE HAIR AND DYSPEPSIA.

Dyspepsia is not only one OF the most
common diseases. but ii is also one of the
most common causes for the loss of hair.
Nature is very careful TO guard and pro-
tect and supply the vital organs with the
proper amount OF nutriment. but when she
cannot command a sufficient quantity of
blood supply for all the organs she very
naturally cuts off the supply of parts least
vital like the hair and nails. so that the
most important organs. like the heart,
lungs etc, may be better nOuriShed and
perform their work more satisfactorily. A
very common cause Of indigestion is irreg-
ularity of meal hours. The human sys-

THE MAN AND HIS BUSY RAKE.

The well dressed men and women always
do have money when they go to the tables.
When they come away they sometimes
have money and sometimes do not but
not once in ten thousand times does one
Of them go out with the precise sum with
which he came in. Always the keen faced
man sweeps his table with the rake after
the wheel has whirled, gathering a heap or
coins and yellow backed bills; often he Will
push across a pile of money as bright as
a bonfire TO one of the excited ones. But, as
Tom Taggart says. there cannot be any
gambling at the casino for he knows or
none and he lives in the hotel good part
Of the year. The French Lick Hotel is a
resort for liver complaint. which is cured
by the famous springs there. The casino is
rented expressly for the management Of
pool tables and bowling alleys. 1t says so
in the lease.
A male Young man walked into the casino
one evening not long ago. He lived with
his wife in a Chicago fat on S35 a month.
When he asked for leave of absence he did
not tell his employer that he had liver COM
plant. nor that he was going TO French

HOW THE CALUMNY STARTED.

This is how that foul libel started One
of the most persistent and excited of the
casino visitors q few years ago was
rising young politician, who was then the
State Treasurer of Indiana. Toward the
last of his term he spent most of his time
at the French Lick Hotel. There came
rumors that the affairs of his office were
not as they should be. The reports grew;
then came an investigation, revelations
and a trial. which made an ugly scandal
The man was convicted of embezzement
He broke down and confessed He said
he had been driven to steal because he
had lost his own money IN the gambling
house on Tom" Taggarts hotel lawn.
All this was early in 1906. On the even
ing of July of that year the agents OF
the State Attorney General broke into the
casino and ransacked it as if it had been
a common gambling dive. They seized
four faro layouts and three or four rou-
lette wheels and tables, with chips. cards,
dice cups and other suggestive things to
the amount of several wagon loads. The
state authorities brought suit at once to
have thu charter Of the French Lick Hotel
revoked, charging that gambling was per-
mitted in the casino.
1t is history now how the trial brought
out pathetic sidelight on Tom" Taggart's
educational defects. When they asked him
what furniture was in the casino. he re-
piled that there were chairs, tables and
wheels.
What kind of wheels?" was asked.
'Why, those wheels they turn around,
with holes in 'em and slots"
What do you call those wheels? Isn't
that the game of baccarat?"
Il never saw baccarat."
Weren't they really roulette wheels?'
We'll. that's the same thing, isn't it?''

vALoR SHOULD HAVE REWARD

They say IN the Middle West that the
dweller in French Lick who would tell
a court he didn't know the difference be-
tween roulette and baccarat should be IL
censed to run a resort for liver complaint
as mere reward for vaIor.
The casino has been rented 10 four or
five different tenants since Tom Tag

map. some ten years ago. They have been

part, and it is remarkable that the first

Count de Beaufort has recovered the
rousseau Of the countess from the
constable who seized IL for Ar alleged
roulette debt owed 10 the Southern
Club.
The count. who halls from London
and Chicago. came into notoTiety here
BY playing roulette with chips which
inc bought on credit. The count went
into a gaming house and bought a
quantity OF chips under the impress
sion that their value was ten cents
each. He signed a receipt FOR them and
On the following day received a bill
for 500 for his losses. Ie was told
that the chtps he had used we're worth

Southern Club, and II was ne who ex-
hibited the 500 due BILL Later IL was
announced by the club that wOrthern
was not connected with the club.
Count de Beaufort admits that he has
won his fight. The threat cf interven-
ton by the British ambassad0- was not
seriously considered, but the count said
he had been offered money as compen-
sation for the inconvenience 10 which
he had been put, as well IS a sum OF
money he had previously lost IN the
club. IL he would drop his projected suit.
But I am going TO fight 10 a finish,
he added.
He said he had intended 10 leave FOR
Chicago, but would not row leave until
he could make arrangements for a civil
action against the Southern Club.
The count sticks 70 his story that he
is not a gambler. that he knows little OF
club affairs, and that he only played
With lo-cent chips for amUseerant
On the other hand, II is st ed that
the count plays a roulette system OF
twelve and SKIES" which is said to
be famous In Monte Carlo, and that
there was no excuse for him not know

DEBATES EXPECTED
ON RAILROAD BILL
Opposition to Proposed
Measure Preparing for
Hard Fight.

Estimates are made now that from a
month to a month-and-a half Of debate
| over the railroad bill may be looked for
| IN the Senate
The Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce is expected TO report the Ad-
ministration bill out at almost any
time Senator Aldrich is generally be-
lleved to have the votes TO force the
bill out Of the committee whenever he
wants to-
Senator's Cummins and CIapp and
some Of the Democrats are not in favor
Of the bill as il stands. but have little
hope Of seeing it whipped into the shape
they want. They will sign a minority
report. and will have strong support on
the floor, though whether that support
will be strong enough to compel changes
in the bill is a question.
Minority's Objections.
The objections which it Is expected
will be made in the minority report TO
the bill will be against the interstate
commerce court. against taking from the
commission the right 70 defend its own
orders in court, against the lack OF
supervision Of trafnc agreements by the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
against some Of the capitalization cor
troll features and against several other
provisions.
ATTORNEY General wickersham lately.
in response 10 criticisms, IN the COM
mittee as to the scope OF the proposed
Interstate commerce courts power OF
review, drafted an amendment that the
jurisdiction Of this court should not
be broader than that Of the circuit
courts Senator AldTiCh wants the
interstate commerce court made prac-
tically an appellate court above the
Interstate Commerce Commission, IN
which the whole case can be threShed
out anew. This will be strenuously OBJ
1ected 10 by many Of the Senators-
Court Held Unnecessary.
The opponents Of the interstate con-
merce court contend that it Is UNI
necessary and a waste OF money. They
point TO the fact that since the Hep
burn law was enacted only twenty-six
orders of the commission have been
appealed from to the coarts. They ask
now the interstate commerce court
would be Kept bAISy on aDOUt eight cases
a year BESIDES this, there is n great
deal OF hostility in Congress 10 the
specialized court.
That shippers would suffer If the In
terstate Commerce Commission we're
prevented from defending its orders ia
the courts is another contention or those
who object 20 some of the features OF
tie Administration bill. Under the ar
rangement proposed the Department Of
Justice LAWYERS would defend the orders
of the commission in the courts. 1t i
held this would mean the defense of
such orders BY lawyers unfamiliar with
the questions involved and that the in
tcrest OF the shippers would not be
duly safeguarded.
