A Reasonable Plea
 For The Stomach
If Your Stomach Is Lacking in Diges- tive Power, Why Not Help the Stom- ach Do Its WOrk-Especially When
 It Costs Nothing To Trye

Not with drugs, but with a rein forcement of digestive agents, such as are naturally at work in the stomach? Scientific analysis shows that digestion requires pepsin, nitrogenous ferments and the secretion of hydrochloric acid When your food fails to digest, it 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 orgars need, They stimulate the gastric glands and gradually bring the diges- tive organs back to their normal con dition.
 StuaT's Dyspepsia Tablets have been subjected to critical chemical tests at home and abroad and are found to con tain nothing but natural digestives.

To Raise Perry's Flagship.

Columbus. Commodore Perry's
flagship in the battle of Put-in-Bay,
the old wooden man-o-war brig, Mia
CARA. that has lain on the bottom Of
the lake in Erie harbor for more than
century, is to be raised, rebuilt,
made seaworthy and taken on a tour
of the lakes during the early summer
of 1913 and later shown during the
summer at the Perry centennial at
Put-in-Bay.
This was one of the important sub
jects determined at the meeting of
the executive committee of the inter-
state board in charge Of the Perry
centennial. The work of raising the
old wooden ship and rebuilding her
was delegated to the members of the
board from Pennsylvania, who at
once announced they had funds on
hand to complete the work.
The location of the wreck is known
The wreck has been investigated by
expert engineers who have said they
would be able to float the vessel with
out special trouble and would guar
antee to do so. The members of the
committee were of the opinion this
would be one of the most interesting
exhibits that could be secured. PENN
sylvania representatives at the meet
! ing said that state would be delight
ed to assume the burden of providing
this exhibit.
In the tour of the lake cities that
will be made by the old wooden war
ship, it will be conveyed by all the
war vessels on the lakes belonging
to the naval militia and also by any
that are brought to the lakes for the
summer during the exposition.

Columbus.-The national govern

congress. Ashtabula harbor will get
s250,0O0 for improvements under the

The estimates for the river and
harbor improvement have been made
public by the war department at
Washington. They show a strict ad-
herence to the new administration
policy of asking congress to appro-
pirate only for those improvements
which have received the approval of
the engineers. No new projects of
any Importance are provided.
The appropriations asked aggregate
S29,62S,69S as against $30,095,69S for
the current year. The estimates will
be sent to congress by the secretary

the president in his message will
urge that they be adhered to.

miles west of Dayton, Edward Mails
field, Cincinnati convict who was be-
ing brought back to the Ohio peniten-
tiary from Spokane, Wash, where he
was caught after having walked away
from the penitentiary restaurant on
August 1, again made his escape.
Mansfield had evidently gained the
confidence of his custodian, Guard
William F. Maish of Delaware county,
for they were travelling as friends, ap-
parently, and not as officer and con-
vict. Though he had handouts and
leg shackles with him, Maish had
failed to put them on his prisoner.
Taking advantage of the guards
kindness, Mansfield asked to go into
the washroom in the car as soon as
the train had left West Manchester,
25 miles west of Dayton. The road is
up grade, and the train was running
comparatively slow. He closed the
door of the room and was not seen
again.
