but at frequent stages during delivery
OF brick under contract. You will thus
create system OF testing and inspec-
ton that will protect you against In
ferior brick, In addition to the good
judgment OF the commissioner.
After conference between the COM
missioner OF public works and myself
agreed to these tests being made on
brick purchased under this years con-
tract. This test Will practically be
part OF the bidding specifications. and
will demand that the brick shall stand
the RATHER and absorption tesH as
specified by the National Brick Makers
association.
The corporation counsel has advised.

opinion, that this may be construed as
a definition of the present wording that
the brick shall stand all reasonable
tests as 10 durability and fitness TO

another matter which / trust, you Will
take up in due time, In order that il
may be inserted In next years con-
tracts. and that is ia examine into the
advisability of inserting In the pro-
posals, in addition to a thorough test
clause, the asnprance that every sue
cessful bidder Will be given an oppor-
tunity to furnish at least 100000 brick.
Brick manufacturers are now under
the impression--and there seems to be
some reason for this contention-that
under the clause "a million or less"
while they may be successful in bid
ding, they may not be called upon to
furnish a single brick, and I am under
the Impression. after having thorough
ly gone into the matter that the 500.-
900 minimum clause would result In
greater competition and that we Will
have two bidders to one at the present
time, because bids will be placed with
the knowledge that brick will have to

Reciprocity Would Make
Canada's Dream Come True

OTTAWA, Feb. 2l.-The romance
OF empire building is disclosed here
at the capital OF the Canadian nation,
where the dreamers OF the future
greatness OF the Dominion-Laurier,
Fielding, Paterson-sit in council. One
sees here romance In the making. The
greatness which is Canada's now, not
80 many years ago. extended only in
the dreams OF the captains OF des-
tiny; wherefore IL Is difficult now to
picture what is coming to pass i'm the
future-the pigments OF the day
dreaming OF the present.
Within five years, Mr.. Paterson es-
Inmates that Canada alone will be pro-
ducing 200,000,000 bushels of wheat.
Put the annual product at half that
amount and the Minister OF Customs
computes that to transport II would
require IL trains daily for 800 days,
each train having 20 cars, with / 900
bushels OF wheat in each car.
This reckoning does not take into
account at all the wheat product of
the United States, which, of course.
will be of similar gigantic proper
tons.
What the figures mean In the way
OF cheaper bread to the ultimate con-
sumner needs no Analysing. Only n
glance at the staggering statistics,
moreover, Is necessary to show what
1t will mean to American industries
In general In the way OF steel rail
and railroad equipment for export,
and to the vast impetus that will be
given to railroad building In the
United States as well, for IL is includ.
ed in the far-seeing predictions of
the Canadian minister of customs
that of necessity large share OF
the Canadian grain will be carried
over American railroads and that
great expansion will be necessary TO
meet the transportation demands.
MY own figures" says he, show
that there was total export last
year of wheat through the United
States of 250,95O,72S bushels. Have
you figured out what that means I?
Have you considered what facilities
will be required TO transport that
enormous quantity of grain from the
wheat fields in the West? Put II at
only 100,000,000 bushels, and to trans
port 1t would require II trains daily
for 300 days, each train having 20
cars, with 1000 bushels OF wheat in
each car
AS regards the present situation
here. in Ottawa, where sentiment
from all parts of the Dominion of
Canada is reflected by the members
of Parliawent assembled, the pre-
vailing opinion is strongly favorable
to the proposed reciprocal trade
agreement.

last night.
The squabble occurred In the house
chamber, before a large audience. IL
arose over an amendment introduced
by Whelan to a report OF the commit
tee, Feb. 8. Rodebaugh was one who
gave testimony about conditions In
Marquette two years ago. Later he
was transferred to Ionia, where ne
asked to remain as he was afraid OF
Warden Russell. His case Is to be
brought up in the house today. Several
days ago he was sent back to Mar.
quette, at which Whelan was incensed.
DR.. Long thought that Whelan's
amendment and a resolution intro
duced later, reflected on him. The lie
was passed freely during the CONVEX

Better In Five Minutes.

AS there is often some one in your
family who suffers an attack OF Indi-
gestion or some form of Stomach
trouble, why don't you keep some
Diapepsin In the house handy?
This harmless blessing will digest
anything you can eat without the
slightest discomfort, and overcome a
sour, gassyy Stomach five minutes
after.
Tell your pharmacist to let you read
the formula, plainly printed on these
50-cent cases OF Pape's Diapepsin,
then you will readily see why 1t
makes Indigestion. Sour Stomach.
Heartburn and other distress go in
five minutes, and relieves at once such
miseries as Belching OF Gas, Eructa-
tons OF sour, undigested food, Nausau.
Headaches, Dizziness, Constipation
and other Stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long to find
relief from Indigestion and Dyspep-
STA or an out-oforder stomach with
the common, everyday cures adver-
tised that they have about made up
their minds that they have something
elEe wrong. or believe theirs Is case
of Nervousness. Gastritis. Catarrh OF
the Stomach or Cancer.
This, no doubt, Is q serious mistake.
Your real trouble is. what you eat does
not digest; instead. 1t ferments and
sours, turns to acid. Gas and Stomach
poison, which putrefy in the digestive
tract and intes.i lines, and, besides, pol
son the breath with nauseous odors.
A hearty appetite. with thorough d.
gestion, and without the slightest dis
comfort or misery of the Stomach, Is
waiting for you as soon as you decide
to try Pape's Diapepsin.

.. S. IS NATION
OF DRUG FIEhDs
DR.. Wiley Raps Alcohol and Saloons
in Advocating National Health
Board.

NEW YORK. Feb. 21.-After DIR. III.
f. Wiley. noted chemist OF the lie
partment OF agriculture. has declared
that We are nation OF drug fiends,"
and are wasting billions of dollars
owing to careless regard for health.
DR.. Eugene Ii. Porter, commissioner
OF health of New York; Prof. A. G..
Abbott, OF the department of hygiene
at the University of Pennsylvania;
George l. Flanders. president of Asso-
citation OF State and National Fores-
try departments, and other eminent
men at the luncheon OF the Republic
an club. made insistent demands for
a national health board.
I'VE don't seems TO care anything
about our health" said DR.. Wiley. I'VE
are the drug-habit nation. We don't
feel satisfied unless we take some
thing for everything We are coun-
try OF drug fiends-drug slaves. The
present indiscriminate sale of drugs
threatens the public health fully as
seriously as does impure food.
WED all be better off In this coun-
try IL we had no alcohol. We can do
without 1t. and I would like TO see
universal prohibition. Even the Ger
man emperor agrees with me on that
point. Ii Is fortunate for him that
his Office Is not an elective one. II
would be the best thing for us IL we
would close up every brewery and lis
tillery In this country. Alcohol Is one
of the drugs-only one-that's sap
ping the life of our citizens.
I'VE are counting death every lay
through defiance of life rules. Death
is lurking constantly at our side. and
yet we ignore the monster. Do you
know how much money 1t takes to
kill a man and then bury him? A
countless amount.
There are 10000 physicians N
this country-120,OO0 men living on
princely salaries because we ignore
the possibility of our losing our
health. Why should men die at all?
"But IL we are to die, let us die
all at once, not piecemeal. Let US
retain our vital ability up to the last.
We ourselves cannot afford to die be-
fore our time, and we can not AFFORD
to let between 100 and $50 out OF
every 1000 of our babies under Ave
years of age die every year.
DR.. Wiley advocated the depopula-
ton of cities as far as possible and
the more stringent enforcement OF
pure food laws as methods of better
protecting the national health"
There's no reason why the gov
eminent should not maintain ma
tional health department. The gov
eminent cares for the great American
hog, out in Iowa; why not the great
American citiZen?"
Health Commissioner Porter. fol-
lowing the governments expert, was
even palmer in his language.
There are 100000 persons sick
every year in the United States he
said, "and 100000 Of these are sick
of preventable diseases. Six hundred
and fifty thousand people die before
their time every year In this country.
Not only that, but there are thousands
of half-dead men and women in this
country.
They are terrible tax-billions CT

A REASONABLE PLEA
FOR THE. STOMACH
II Your Stomach Is Lacking in Dises-
tive Power, Why Not Help the Stom-
ach Do Its Work-EspeciaIiy
When IL Costs Nothing To Try?

Not with drugs, but with a rein
forcement of digestive agents, such
as are naturally at work in the stom-
ach? Scientific analysis shows that
digestion requires pepsin, heterogeneous
ferments, and the secretion OF n.y.
drochloric acid. When your food fails
to digest, IL Is proof positive that
some of these agents are lacking in
your digestive apparatus.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
nothing but these natural elements
necessary to digestion and when
placed at work in the weak stomach
and small intestines, supply what
these organs need. They stimulate
the gastric glands and gradually bring
the digestive organs back to their nor
NAL condition.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have
been subjected to critical chemical
tests at home and abroad and are
found to contain nothing but natural
digestiYes.

There is no secret In the prepare
ton of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Their composition is commonly known
among physicians, as is shown by the
recommendations OF 10000 licensed
physicians in the United States and
Canada. They are the most popular
of all remedies for Indigestion, dys-
pepsia, water brash, insomnia, loss OF
appetite, mslmcholia, constipation,
dysentery and kindred diseases orig
mating from improper dissolution and
assimilation OF foods. because they
are thoroughly reliable and harmless
to man or child.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are at

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Follow-
ing Senator BaIey's declaration that
he would not oppose action upon the
reciprocity bill at this session, that
task was today assumed by Senator
Hepburn, OF Idaho.

delay action. His constituency Is said
to be practically solid against reci-
procity.
Senator Carter of Montana, said af-
ter visit with President Taft, that
he thought that reciprocity would
pass the senate at this session. Rep.
Mccall (Rep. Mass.). who is father
ing the bill, also made this assertion.
