BY Ine OnlleQ Tltob
CHEYENNE, Wyoming. Oct. A.
Scenes of the old wild west days were
re-enacted today under the admiring
ewes Of the President Of the United
States. The western gun man and the
lariat are past or passing, and there
were nearly as many automobiles as
ponies in Cheyenne when It turned
out to meet Mr., Taft today. But sew
eral hundred gaudily attired COW boys
we're in evidence and yell greeted
the chief executive as his automobile
drove through the streets.
All the old wild west properties were
brought out for the entertainment or
the President at Frontier Park. Roping
contests. broncho busting contests and
similar stunts usually witnessed at the
Frontier Day celebration were all held.
The Presidents day began at $50 when
he left his train and went TO Fort Rus
sell for an inspection OF the post
Thence he was taken to Frontier Park

Stomach Sufferers
Squandor Millions
In search Of Relief.

The world is full of disordered
stomachs and 80 per cent of the
money spent upon physicians and
drugs goes in an attempt to cure the
stomach.
People are made to believe that in
order TO gain health they must doctor
their stomachs and use cathartics. So
the doctor gets his fee for the stom-
ach treatment and the druggist for
the physic, until the savings of a
lifetime are exhausted and yet no
cure.
Let's be reasonable.
The sick stomach is In every case
the result OF over-eating, hurried
mastication and improper choice Of
foods. The mucous lining all the way
down the food tract loses its sensi-
tiveness, and when food is forced
down the muscles fail to respond.
They do not churn the food as they
should. The glands no longer give
out gastric juice to dissolve the food
and render It capable OF assimilation.
The man has become a dyspeptic.
There Is one sure way and only
one 10 bring positive relief. Put into
that stomach of yours the very ele-
ments that It lacks to get that food
into liquid form. It takes pepsin,
diastase, golden seal and other fer
ments to accomplish this. The
healthy stomach contains these ele-
ments. The dyspeptic stomach lacks
part or all of them. Stuart's Dys-
pepsla Tablet is made up of just what
the dyspeptic stomach lacks-Nature's &
digestves.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not
medicine, not a drug, not a ca
thartic. They do not cure anybody
Of anything but Dyspepsia and Indi-
gestion and such ailments as arise
from poorly digested food.
While they digest the food the
stomach recuperates. The mucous
membrane Is coming out of its stupor
the gastric juice is coming to tbs
surface, the muscles are regainiul
their power. Every organ of the body
takes on new life. the skin gains color
and the eyes are no longer tingeC
with yellow. You live.
Why doctor and why drug yourself
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will TAX,
care Of your food while Nature cure.

SAFER METHODS OF MINING
System Used In German Province,
to Lessen the Number Of Disas.
trous Explosions.

There have been so many disastrous
explosions Of dust and gases in deep
coal mines in various parts Of the
world. caused in many instances by
the use Of explosives in tearing tho
coal asunder. making 1t easy. for the
workmen to remove 1t with their tools.
that q great effort has been made
among engineers and mechanics to
find safer method Of putting the
coal In condition to be easily removed.
In Germany system is being used
that promises to go tnto general use.
Instead Of the powder or other power
full explosives being used, holes are
drilled deep into the coal vein just as
II blasts we're to be inserted: but in.
stead Of the explosives that so often
set OF lot Of accumulated gas or
dust, pipe is inserted and heavy
pressure of water forced into the
block of dry coal. The water finds
its way into the crevices and pro.
duces others, and in short time such
a pressure has been brought to bear
on the coal that 1t opens up and is
ready for the men with their picks
and sbovels. and no dust or dry gas
has been formed. It is stated this
method is much safer. and is healthier.
even more rapid. as there is no loss
of time by the men waiting for q
mine or shaft to clear itself Of the
poisonous fumes produced by the az.
plosives.

But they must be here. was told

THE clerk searched in vain. Moth.

Not until she was we'll on her way

that the clerk might possibly have

Of construction, ordered a lot Of lum.

work.
The only time he had to give to the
kitchen cabinet cause was on Sunday,
a. he had to work early and late dur.

arranged with his wife that she was
to stamp on the door whom the min.
lister or some pious friend was pass.
ing. Sunday after Sunday he toiled
away on the kitchen cabinet. picturing
In his mind how pretty and how use.
full it would be in the kitchen.
Finally the cabinet was finished and
the builder asked two or three Of
the boys at the store to drop over on
Sunday morning and help him carry
1t upstairs. The boys, anxious to see
the product of SO many days of toll,
accepted the Invitation and went over.
It was a Jim Dandy kitchen cabinet.
1t was the best ever-even better than
the store kind.
well, boys, let's hike upstairs with
1t" said Fritz, the cabinet constructor.
The boys took hold, tilted it and
started for the stairway. Fritz groaned.
The boys smothered laugh.
It was nine inches too wide for the
stairway.
The cabinet has departed this life
via the furnace. It is unlikely that
Fritz will build another.
