AS there is often some one in your

This harmless blessing will digest

Some folks have tried so long to find
relief, from Indigestion and Dyspepsia

This, no doubt, is a serious mistake.
Your real trouble is, what you eat does
not digest; instead, it ferments and

What a Man Owes to His


IOWO.
A man owes it to his town to
boost it in public on all occas-
ions, and at all times. The cor
rection of its failures and faults
are for the privacy Of the home
circle. A man who would
thrash his boy on the front
steps of the court house ought
to be whipped out of town.
The citizen who welcomes
the stranger by telling him
what a rotten city government
we have; what a corrupt set of
officials misrule the town; how
the town lags behind the age in
all matters of progress and de-
velopement; that it is a dead
town and will be so long as GER
lain men rule it, is an undesir.
able citizen.
A man owes it to his town to
shout it's advantages from the
nous etops. The entire entry
list should be the promotion
committee. If necessary put
binders on the visitos, and let
him see but what you want him
to see.
When he asks you what chance
a poor man has in town, tell
him the truth. Tell HIM the
poor man is the only man who
has a chance. And that is no
joke. Show him the beautiful

Such was the measure of Mr.. Hitch

followed entirely different lines of
procedure.

day that by making three men do the
work of four, he could make record

way mail clerks were driven beyond
the limit of endurance. Conditions
in the west, especially in the tenth d.
vision, became intolerable. Open
rebellion broke out on the Pierre-Tra-

extra work imposed them. Ten men

AFTER THE NEGRO VOTE.

President Taft has absolutely re-

were reinstated, but refused to return
to work without their associates.
This aroused the whole northeast.
, The clerks met in mass meeting at
St. Paul, MINI. They are now fore
ing the Postmaster General to relent
in his plan to economic by overwork-
ing the railway mail boys.
Strange working Of the Hitchcock
economy bump also caused the Post
master General to pay the full year
salary of 5000 to A. w. Lawshe,
third assistant postmaster general,
while the latter soiourned in New
Mexico recuperating in health and
looking after the interests of the Re-
publican party, but performing no
government service whatever.
Still another example of Hitchcock
economy was his appointment of a
pseudo lame duck commission" of
four of his intimate friends and
staunch political supporters to 60 on
a sort of Holy Grail conquest at the
governments expense. The commits
sion investigated "time recorders"
in various cities, and managed to dis.
burse in expenses sums that would
have gone long way toward making
unnecessary the discharge of railway
mail clerks.
The average amount spent by each
of the committee for subsistence was
between nine and ten dollars day,
indicating that Mr.. Hitchcock IS friends
had healthy appetites. Transporta-
ton expenses for each man for a per-
iod of less than two months, averag-
ed $500. Among many items of ex-

Senate Committeeships.
The Senate committees are now all
formed for the session. Some of the
committee appointments appear to
have been singularly appropriate.
Senator Du Pont is chairman of the
Senate committee on military affairs.
It is appropriate to the last degree
that Du Pont should head this COM
mittee, inasmuch as the senator is the
powder trust.
II is appropriate, too, that Senator
Guggenheim should be made chair
man of the committee on the Phil
pines, and a member of the commit
tee on agriculture and forestry, on
conservation of natural resources,
mines and mining and public lands.
Considering Gugrenheim s connection
