 About Eating
Your Stomach Will Digest Any Kind of Food When Given the Proper
 Assistance

We are prone to fall into the error of sjngling out some article of food and soundly berating the fiend who first in- vented the dish. The habit grows with some people till almost all food Is put on the blacklist. This is all wrong. What is required is a little assistance with those agencies upon which scientific stu dents for many years have set their seal of approval because they have become absolute facts. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets for all stomach disorders are recog- nized they have a fine record; they are rated relia ble, dependable and worthy or confidence just as the president of biz bank puts his O. K. on a depositors check. And so you can eat what you want, whatever you like, knowing well that should indigestion, sour risings, gas formations lamentations or any other stomach distress arise, Stuarts Dyspep- sia Tablets in a few moments will put you right.
 Coated tongue, bad breath, heartburn, eelching, fatulency, bloat-all the symp- toms of digestive troubles disappear quickly when these tablets are used. They are not cure for anything but dyspep- Eia and kindred complaints. But they have brought relief to more sufferers from digestivediseases than all the patent medicines and doctors prescriptions put together.
 The stomach does the heaviest work of any of the bodily organs. yet it's tine one we treat with the least regard. We eat too much of the wrong kind of food at any time The patient stomach stands such treatment as long as it can and then 1t rebels. You get notice of the rebellion in the shape of the gases and pains caused by undigested, fermenting food.

Judge Brewers charge to the grand jury was strong and emphatic He stressed the duty of the grand jury to protect the citizenship of the county. He touched upon the high office and duty of every man qualified to serve as jurors. His entire charge was a veritable moral dissertation, which should have been heard if possible by every citizen within the bounds of the county.
