MADERO EASY
ON GEN. REYES
Rebel Leader May be Pardon
ed or Serve a ShOrt
Sentence
AGED REVOLUTIONIST
MUST FACE COURT MARTIAL
By Tbe United Press.

by The United Press.
MEXICO CITY, Dec. 27.--That
President Madero, having implicit
confidence In the stability Of his own
government will either pardon GEM
eral Bernardo Reyes, the revolutions
ist leader who surrendered ON Christ
mas Day, or will place him In prison
for only a short time, was the general
opinion here today.
Madero himself declined TO discuss
the question and his Cabinet officers
refused to be questioned Should the
president, after hearing the verdict OF
the military board which Will try
Reyes, decide to pardon the aged gem
eral ,it is thought likely that he Will
be exlled 60 Europe. his presence on
the American continent being thought
too productive Of trouble for the
Maderist administration
Alexando pezo, Reyes chief OF
staff, when the latter was Minister OF
War under Diaz. will preside at the
court martial Of the revolutlonist
leader Pezo and Reyes are friendly
and II is thought that Pezo will have
sufficient influence with the remaind-
er Of the court-as yet unnamed-t0
secure a lenient verdict
The exact time of the aged Gem
erals arrival here has not been an
nounced. but Il is believed that he
will spend New Years Day in a jail

THESE ARE PLAIN FACTS

Now. when nearly everybody IS
coughing, it is well to know the plain
truth about coughs and colds.
Since coughs are caused by irrita-
tion of the sensitive lining of the bron-
chial tubes, the only way to cure
cough is to stop that Inflammation.
The only way to do that is through
the blood-by making it richer so that
It will nourish and soothe the in-
famed, tender tissues.
Instead of cough syrups we always
recommend that sterling blood and
strength renewer. Vinol. It is a de-
Iicious cod liver and iron preparation
without oil and actually cures coughs,
colds and bronchitis by building up
the whole system.

Some persons who have an idea the
commission is to select site for the
new bridge have urged the commits
sioners to place it at Fourth street.
The commission. however, has moth
ing to do with the site, but is to con-
denim land specified by the Levy
Court. which designates the site for
the bridge and approaches.

Initiation OF The Stomach From I'M
digested Food Quickly Relieved
BY A Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablet

When you take food into stomach
that is tired and over-taxed the gas
trio juices d. not form fast enough to
digest it properly. So the food be-
comes sour and at once begins to
throw off gases. Your stomach be-
comes inflated just as surely as II you
attached TO a toy balloon TO a gas jet.
Then the gases and foul odors issue
forth and pollute your breath making
you an object OF nausea to your
friends. Your tongue quickly be-
comes coated and you can taste the
foulness that Is within you.
Now all this condition Is changed
almost instantly by a Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablet This little digester
gets busy at once-supplies all the
digestive juices that were lacking
digests the food in a jiffy and opens
up the clogged stomach and bowels
II also sweetens and refreshes the
mucous lining of the stomach and
bowels and restores peace and coh-
tent.
II you will give Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets a chance they will not only
sweeten your stomach but also your
disposition and you will never have
another stomach III.
One grain Of a single ingredient in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
1900 grains of food This saves your
stomach and gives it the rest it needs.
All muscles require occasional rest
If they are ever over-taxed. The
, stomach is no exception to this rule.
Try a box Of Stuarts Dyspepsia
/ Tablets and you will wonder how you
ever got along without them. They
are sold at so cents by all druggists
everywhere. A trial package will be
sent free on request to F. A. Stuart
