A Stuart's Tablet not only aid diges-
ton but it actually does the digesting
itself. In other words it furnishes
exactly the same elements for the di-
gestion of food as the natural juices
of the stomach. The stomach, there
fore, is not called upon to do any of
the work except to churn the juices
furnished by the tablet and then push
the digested food along into the in
testines where it will be still further
digested and the strength taken up
by the blood to be carried to the
muscles and nerves of the body.
So by taking a Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablet after meal you give the stom-
ach the rest it needs in which to mend
itself and grow well again. And you
absolutely prevent the souring of any
food, the formation of any poisonous
gases, belching, foul breath or consti-
patton.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have
done more for humanity and have
caused more rejoicing than any other
one agency that can be named.
Every druggist everywhere sells and
personally recommends Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. The price is SO cents
per box. If you first wish to try them
sample package will be sent you

WILL TEST THE TAX LAW.
Right to Assess Certain Contracts Is
Questioned.

Hutchinson, Kan, March "A case
will be tried in the Reno county dis
trict court Thursday, at an adjourned
session, which will really be a test
case of the Kansas tax assessment law
in certain sense.
The suit is an application by Thos.
Co1lingwood of Pretty Prairie to en-
join Reno county from collecting a
tax on several hundred acres of valu-
able farm land
Mr.. Collingwood, it is alleged, deed
ed this land for one-half it's value,
then received an option to rebuy the
land at the same rate, one-half value.
He now claims that this option
should not be taxed. J. E. ConkIin,
former county assessor, held that the
transaction was in reality a loan, and
that the option was merely a mort
gage, while the provision for payment
of rent on the land was to all intents
and purposes a payment of interest on
the loan.
The case will in all proba bility go to
the supreme court, and on its decision
hinges the question whether the as
SCISSORS and tax officials can really go
behind a record.

HE WILL HEAT A SQUARE MILE.
Hutchinson Man Makes Plans to Get
Big Apple Crop.

Chanute, Kan, March 2.-Heat a
square mile of outdoors during a frost
Sounds fanciful, doesn't it? Yet that
is what w. H. Underwood, owner of
the Underwood orchards near Hutch
inson, Kansas, proposes to do. He is
in the city directing the manufacture
of 1880 oil stoves of his own inven-
ton, which he proposes to use this
spring.
For four years the apple crop in
Reno county and central Kansas has
been practically a failure on account
of frosts in full bloom time Mr.. I'm
derwood said. ct tried smudges and
then tried the different makes of oil
stoves. They were not practical. I
was getting desperate. So 1 invented
my own oil stove. Now 1 believe

crops of seasons with no late freezes .

BLACKHANDERs IN Ell DORADO.
They Demand Ransom for the Re,
turn of Cheese.


Ell Dorado, Kan, March last
winter c. B. Dillenbeck received a
present of a whole cheese, one of
those famous ones, they make back
IN New York state, where the Dillen-
DECKS hail FROM 1t was treasured
and eaten sparingly of so as to make
it last.
Just before Christmas the cheese
was stolen out of the back shed,
where it was put to keep cool. Mr.
Dillenbeck, snorted and howled. he
wanted some more of that cheese.
Finally one stormy night another
rap and the cheese owner went to the
door and peered into space, nothing
there but on the floor was rock and
under the rock was a note signed with
a Black Hand The note said:
If you will put five dollars under
a certain stone down by the river and
ask no questions your cheese will be
returned" the spot being fully de-
scribed. Now Mr.. Dil1enbeck not be-
ing an easy one, he declined to remit
the five, and became resigned to their
rate of a cheeseless winter. Again
tap the other night and this time
there lay the cheese or rather sat the
cheese for by this time it has gained
strength till it is able to sit up, and in
fact Mr.. Dillenbeck is not sure but
that it walked home. There are so
many jokers in that neighborhood.
Mr.. Dillenbeck can't decide who
swiped the cheese. but he doesn't care
now.

response to their request for an in
Vestigation, that the government had
spent $250,000 since his recommendation
nearly two years ago in regard to the
matter, it is understood, although ne
did not tell the publishers so, that he
would be willing to see a further in
vestigation providing the amendment
increasing the magazine postal rates
does not pass at this time.
Delay is always a victory for those
who are seeking to avoid a payment of
what is due the government" the pres
ident said. Certainly the adoption of
the present amendment will only fix
an additional charge for one year; will
secure attention from the magazines
and bring about adjustment.
There have been suggestions by
those friendly advertisements that
have seen covering whole pages that
the motive of Mr.. Hitchcock and my
self is to get even with somebody.

sense does not seek the hostility and

DRUNKENNESS NOT A CAUSE.
No Divorce on This Score II WIFI,
Knew Intended Drank,

Parsons, Kan, March 2.-When a
woman at the time of her marriage
knows that her husband is a drink
ing man, she cannot, in the district
court of Crawford county, at least,
get a divorce by alleging that he is
an habitual drunkard.
This was the decision handed down
by Judge Andrew J. Curran when he
refused to enter decree in favor of
Mrs. Nora Hantz upon her testimony
that she had been told before her
marriage that Nicholas Hantz was a
drinking man. Judge Curran gave
her a divorce, however upon other
evidence.
'I want it understood that while I
am presiding judge of Crawford
county l will not grant a divorce upon
grounds of habitual drunkenness if
the woman knows at the time of her
marriage that her husband is a drink
ing man. said the judge.

ARM OF THE LAW is LONG.
Forger Wanted at Lawrence Is Caught
in California


Lawrence, Kan, March 1.-The
long arm of the law has reached out
to Los Angeles and gathered in W. M.
Palmer, wanted in Lawrence for forg-
ing and cashing check for $12. The
check was passed on March II, 1910
1t was written on Watkins bank
blank, and purported to bear the
signature of H. d. Holland.
Mr.. Holland is contractor and as
Palmer was plasterer by trade the
check was cashed without question.
When it was found to be worthless,
Palmer had departed.
Palmer was arrested on a similar
charge in California, but could not be
convicted. The authorities then noti-
fed Douglas county and this morning
were wired to hold the prisoner. The
county attorney is preparing requisi-
ton papers, and a deputy will be sent
after Palmer Immediately.
The alleged forger came to Law
renee several years ago and married
a local girl. When he got in trouble,
he deserted her.
