Most people eat most foods without
iscrimination-it matters little what.
Few stop to think what that food does
for, them. This is the first turn on the
road to dyspepsia. Reckless disregard
of the proper choice of foods, rapid
eating and improper mastication, are
the unquestioned causes of all stom-
ach disorders from the slight ache to
the malignant cancer.
There is nothing more revolving
than dyspeptic stomach-a very vat
for putrefaction, sending forth its pol
son throughout the entire system, de-
pressing the brain. befouling the
breath, souring the taste, deadening
the muscles, incapacitating the liver
and kidneys for their work, debilitat-
ing the heart, choking the lungs and
clogging the bowels.
All Of these disagreeable and dan
gerous conditions are due to the I'M
proper digestion of food and the con-
sequent assimilation of poison. What
else can be expected? If the food lies
in the stomach, If the system is con-
stipated, fermentation Is the natural

There is only one way to remove
this condition. If the stomach refuses
to digest your food put something in
to it that will. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab

are not medicine. They work when

FLORIDA'S CITRUS CROP.
Estimated at 100000 Boxe.
Best Fruit in Years.

That the citrus fruit crop for 191112
is more than 100000 boxes greater
than last seasons, and fruit will be OF
more uniform size and better color, par
licularly the orange crop, seems TO be
the general impression among those
who have taken the trouble TO make a
careful study of the situation. 1t is
thought, however, that the grapefruit
crop will be short as compared TO last
seasons but the orange crop will more
than make up the deficiency and the. en-
tire citrus crop will be about Is per cent
more than last season, and will likely
total about 5000, 600 boxes.
1t is thought shipment will begin
about October I. 1t has fully been dem
onstrated 10 the grower recently that ir
rigation means great deal. In groves
that have been irrigated the crop is
found to be not only superior quality,
but the yield is fully Is per cent more
than The yield OF the non-irrigatcd
groves.
1t is also a fact that some groves have
undereStimated the citrus crop, the late
June and July bloom was heavy and
naturally increased the total.
transportation men figure the crop
from present indications as an increase
of about 25 per cent. over last year, and
believe that heavy shipments will be
later than last year, as the new immature
fruit law and pure food law will have
the tendency 10 stop the shipper from
rushing immature fruit TO the market,
consequently the shipping season will
he shortened
