DO You ENJOY YOUR MEALS?
One of the Most Important Questions
To Consider In the Search OF
Happiness and Health.

The burning question to you Is,
"Are you getting out of life all the
pleasure and the health you are en-
titled to % IL no, why not?
No matter whether every organ and
member of your body Is in a sound
state of health and strength, IL your
stomach is in any way disordered, you
are, not going to be yourself" You
are going to be worried, out-of-sorts,
nervous or sullen individual, whose
actions will reflect yoEr condition
inside, and people will naturally avoid
you.
The world want to smile and be
cheerful, and unless you are cheerful
and smile, at least, occasionally, you
will have few friends, fewer oppor-
tunities, no success, and you will 60
down in defeat-defeated by dyspep-
sia and bad stomach.
A good and thorough digestion has
a quick, wonderful reaction upon the
brain. You must have noticed 1t many
times, for the brain and stomach are
as intimately connected as needle
and its thread, one can hardly be
used to advantage without the other.
II your stomach Is slow and lazy In
digesting your food, 1t will produce
at once q slow, lazy and cloudy In
fuence upon your brain. Mark 1t!
II your stomach has absolutely quit
work, and fermentation is poisoning
yNr vitals as result, surely your
brain is going to be sluggish and
correspondingly depressed. No one
need tell you that.
But why continue to suffer all the
miseries and torments that disor-
dered stomach brings you?
III your stomach can not digest your
Hood, what will? Where's the relief?
Where's the cure?
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
nelief and the cure. Why? Because,
as all stomach troubles arise from In
digestion and because one ingredient
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is able
ITO thoroughly and completely digest
900 grains Of any kind OF food
doesn't IL stand to reason that these
little Dyspepsia Tablets are going to
iieest all the food and whatever food
Hou put into your stomach? Science
nowadays ca ndigest food without
having to use the stomach for II. And
stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are the
result of this scientific discovery
They digest and digest thoroughly
and well, anything and everything you
cat
So, II your stomach refuses to work
Or cant work, and you suffer from
Fluctuations, bloat, brash, fermenta'
hon, biliousness, sour stomach, heart
burn, irritation, indigestion, or dys
pepsia or what ever form, just take
bne or two OF Stuart's Dyspepsia
rablets, and see the difference. II
Ioesnt cost you much to prove II

You want, whenever you want, II you

Gov Stubbs Tells SheriffS Some of
Them Are Failures.

About 30 sheriffs of the los in Kan
SaS attended the meeting of the state
association in Topeka yesterday after
noon and last night. The matter OF
fees came up for great deal of con-
sideration and was left in the hands
of a committee which is expected to
guard their representatives and sena-
tors to see that the fees If tempered
with are raised and not lowered.
There are rurnorS Of a bill to be in

sheriffs in sparsely settled counties do
not make enough from their offices to
make their election desirable and 1T is
said several are about to resign Those
men clamor for an increase in fees The
sheriffs of the larger counties boost the
thing along but lie in the background
because their Offices are already rat
jobs. The idea of sheriffs' serving war
rants for 70 cents was roundiy rldlculec

While it was not stated in so many
words, the sheriffs admit they are apt
to get shot when serving papers or
otherwise molesting crooks
Governor Stubs made one of the
most pointed talks to the officers when
he gave them a welcoming address. He
told them there were about a half
dozen who ought to be fired and init
mated some had fallen into the prac-
tice of telephoning crooks ahead that
they were coming out to look for them.
In the mind of the governor that was
not the surest way of finding a crook

further that he would like to have a

"Oh, 1 don't intend to sue him. he

Governor Baldwin's' formerly ex-

HOLD LAW IS VOID.
Attorneys Begin Final Assault on the
Corporation Tax.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The final as
sault of the constitutienality of the
corporation tax provisions of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff act of 1909 has
begun in the supreme court of the
United States For two hours Max
well Evarts of New York argued that
the law was void. Julien T. Davies,
also of New York, continued the as
sault. Tomorrow Frederick w. Leh-
mann, solicitor general for the depart
ment of justice, will defend the law.
Mr.. Evarts appeared as counsel for
Stella P Flint, general guardian of
Samuel n. Stone, jr., owner of stock in
the Stone-Tracy company of Windsor,
vt. She sought to prevent the corpor-
alton from paying the tax
The attorney contended that the tax
was unconstitutional, principally be-
cause it fell on the corporate fran
chise of the company In so doing it
invaded the sovereignty of the state,
he urged
While the law on it's face said it was
a tax on the doing of business Mr..
Evarts told the court that "the bur-
dens falling on the defendant corpor-
alton because it has a corporate char
ter and because it acts in a corporate
capacity are burdens upon the right to
be corporation and to act as such"
"The decision which we ask this
court to make involves no dimunition
or the potentlal resources OF the ma
tional government" said Mr. Evarts.
"a result of that nature harassed
the thoughts of some of the members
of this court when the income tax
cases were pending. This is no such
case.
1.-The taxing power of the federal
government may reach the business OF
the defendant corporation for two per
cent, for ten per cent. for fifty per
cent, if necessary, if it viii, but seek
out all who are engaged ir the same
business and not attempt to tax the
