Florida Man Springs Surprise
at Washington Gathering.

Washington, Oct. II. - An urgent
plea that laws be passed abolishing
the express business as tits now con
Quoted and that this service be per.
formed by the railroads, was made
by r., Hudson Burr of Florida. presl-
dent of the National Association OF
Railway Commissioners, in the
course of speech delivered at the
first session of the twenty-third an
nual convention OF the organization
named. More than 100 delegates,
practically all of them state railway
commissioners, are in attendance on
the convention. President Burr's
of the express service of the railroads
semed to met the approval OF his
hearers. Mr. Burr took the position
that in the natural course of things
the express belonged to the 'oilroads
and that the existence of separate
companies to conduct 1t placed an ad.
ditional burden upon the public.
In welcoming the state commissions
ers to Washington Judson C. Glen

oft-reDeated assertion that there is
an excess of state and federal legis-
lation. He insisted that SO far as
transportation is concerned. tpe coun.
try is confronted by conditions that
demand close governmental super
vision through the medium of laws
passed by congress.

STRENGTH COMES
Not From What You Eat. Hut From
What You Digest.
A Tablet Digests a Meal. Trial Pack


Most people eat most foods with
out discrimination--lt matters little
what. Few stop to think what that
food does for them. This is the first
turn on the road to dyspepsia. Rec
less disregard OF the proper choice
of foods. rapid eating and improper
masticatiOn, are the unquestioned
causes of all stomach disorders from
The slight ache to the malignant
cancer.
There is nothing more revolving
than a dyspeptec stomach--a merry
vat for puterfacation, sending forth
its poison throughout the entire
system, depressing the brain, be-
fouling the breath, souring the taste
deadening the muscles, incapaciating
the liver and Kidneys for their work,
debiliating the heart. choking the
lungs and clogging the bowels.
All of these disagreeable and
dangerous conditions are due to the
improper digestion of food and the
consequent assimilation OF poison.
What else can you expect? If the
food lies in the stomach, IL the sys-
tenn is constipated. fermentation is
the natural outcome. IT shows itself
I'm sour wotery risings. belchings,
heartburn and painful breathing.
There is only )ne way to remove
this condition. If the stomach re-
fuses to digest your food put some
thing into it that will. Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are nothing but di-
gestives. They are not a medicine,
They work when the stomach will
not.
Each tablet contains enough pep
sin, diastase. golden seal and other
digestive elements to reduce 5000
grains of ordinary food to the prop
er consistency for assimilation into
