I've Been Taking stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets"

The minute the stomach ceases to per-
form it's functions properly the whole
body begins to suffer. The food is only
half-digested, the body only half
nourished And the undigested portion
of the food ferments and decays, gen.
Grating nauseating gases which derange
the whole system. The eventual result
is chronic dyspepsia, heartburn, bad
breath, dizziness, fiatulency and sick
headache.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets instantly
relieve all ailments of the stomach and
digestive tract. They act quickly, safe
ly and naturally-just like Nature her
self. They contain in themselve~ the
elements which go to make up the nat
ural gastric juices. They actually digest
the food relieving the stomach Of all the
hard work. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are the standby of many a doctor in
the worst cases of stomach trouble, and
they never fail him.

ALASKAN POPULATION
MAY BE WIPED OUT

WASHINGTON. Jan. sO.-Tuberculosis
has its grip on nearly so per cent of the
population of Alaska, according to the
results of an investigation conducted for
the bureau of education by DR.. NJ. H.
Foster, passed assistant surgeon of the
public health and marine hospital. In
his report DR.. Foster declares that un-
less the ravages Of this disease are
checked by timely medical relief the
white people as well as the natives of
the territory ultimately win be wiped out.
According to DR.. Fosters estimates 90
per cent of the present population of
southeastern Alaska, have suffered al
some time from tuberculosis trouble. Eye
diseases also are prevalent in a number
of places and DR., Fosters recommended
tons include home for the destitute
blind.
Armed with these facts the bureau OF
education has renewed its effort to Sc
cure the passage of bill pending in con-
gress appropriating $4,000 for the estab-
lishment of a sanitarium and additional
hospitals and nurses.

NEWARK. n. J., Jan. 3O.-Court Of
ficers today turned away a curious
crowd that sought admission to the
court room where Allison NJ. MacFar
land is on trial for the murder of his
wife. The state charges that McFar
land placed cyanide of potassium in a
bottle from which Mrs. Mcfarland hao
been in the habit of taking a headache
remedy.

Mott that he expected to show that
Mcfarland and his alleged affinity, Flor
ence Bromley, of Philadelphia, were
guilty of immoral acts and that the de-.
PENDANT took his wife's life that he
might marry his former stenographer,
served to develop much interest in the
case, but under orders of Chief Justice
Gummere, only a few persons were ad-
mitted to the trial room.
Mcfarland came into court today and
chatted with his counsel during the
more unimportant moments in the TAX

IF MAPLE SUGAR CROSSES
STATE LINE IT is PURE

I WASHINGTON, Jan. u.-Anything
branded maple sugar" or maple sy-
rup'' is the genuine article, II It is
sold outside the state in which 1t is
made, according to statements made be-
fore the house committee on agriculture
by DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, chief chem
list of the department Of agriculture.
IF an article marked maple sugar
or maple syrup has crossed a state
line, it is certain to be pure" said DR..
Wiley. 1--WE cannot go int the state
where it is made and insure its purity,
but we can when it is found outside
the state of it's origin"
The government is keeping a close
watch ON interstate shipments Of ma
pie products and making frequent analy-
ses of SAMPLES taken by inspectors. AS
a result a searching study into the
methods of making maple syrup and
sugar, the experts can now detect any
adulteration amounting to per cent.

GOVERNMENT FORESTER
SAYS PLANT MORE TREES

WASHINGTON, Jan. SO.-with spring
near, Henry S. Graves, chief of the for
est service, has issued a circular urging
the planting of trees in the states from
New England westward to Wisconsin and
eastern Minnesota on large areas of land
of very low producing value which have
been swept by forest fires. From ar
economic point of view, says Mr.. Graves
it is important that these lands should
be put in a state of productiveness.
Extensive forest planting thus fal
has been discouraged by present methods
of taxation" says Mr.. Graves. The
true value of forest land and its rightfu
place among the permanent resources OF
the state are, however, becoming rec
ognized and an enlightened public sen
timent is rapidly making this form o.
investment safe anti profitable"

TAFT TAFFIES FOREIGN
RESIDENTS OF CLEVELAND
Says Foreign Immigrant De-
veIopS a Fine Type of Amer
lean Citizen
CBy Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 30.-A plea
for the settlement of immigrants in the
country rather than in the cities was
made last night by President Taft at a
banquet given by leading Hungarians of
Cleveland that followed the larger func-
ton of the Tippecanoe club.
The president said that as he looked
about him and saw the type of American
citizens developed from the foreign i'm
migrant he felt that there was no reason
for alarm in the tide of immigration
sweeping toward America so long as the
proper rules and regulations to keep
out the riff raft that no country wanted
were enforced.
But the congestion of the cities should
not be increased by immigrants when
there awaits them in rural districts a
greater field for serving the country
they come to make their own. "And,"
said the president, Judging from the
prices we now have TO pay for country
produce, 1 should say there would be a
great deal more moneyto be made in
the country than in the city,"
While speaking Mr. Taft complained of
a throat that was like a piece of raw
beef" His voice, however, was much
stronger ard clearer than it had been
in the afternoon when he addressed
Grand Army veterans. In fact, he had
surprised those who heard him then by
the clearness and strength with which
he delivered his speech before the Tip
pecanoe club.
The president and his party left at 2:40
o'clock this morning for Columbus.
The pres dent is simply suffering
with a heavy cold" said DIR. Rhoades,
his physician, today. HE is no worse
thar. he has been for several weeks be-
fore he left Washington. There is no
doubt he will be able to complete his
present trip without the slighte st incon-
venience."
officials accompanying the president
on his tour were much surprised to hear
the report hao been circulated that Mr..
Taft vas suffering with pneumonia.

CORDELE JAIL STORMED;
CROWDS LYNCH NEGRO
Three Hundred Men Hang and
Shot Prisoner Charged
With Assault

CORDELE, Ca, Jan. 30.-Albert Ham
ilton, the negro charged with assault
ing a white woman in this city at $50
o'clock yesterday afternoon, was taken
from the Crisp county jail this morning
by a crowd of about 300 white men and
lynched in the western portion of the
city at 1880 o'clock.
The negro was taken from the jail
early this morning, escorted by the po-
lice force and the sheriff and deputy
sheriff to the young woman for identih-
cation. The girl almost tainted and
shrieked: Take him awayI He is the
one!'
She reiterated the statement three
times. Another negro was also taken
before the young woman, but she de-
clared he was not the right negro.
The two negroes were then taken back
to the Jail and placed as safely within
as possible, but the crowd quickly gath
cred, overpowered the sheriff and forced
an entrance into the Jail.
They succeeded in securing the negro
and dragged him across the city in a
very quiet and orderly manner to the
negro residence section, where he was
hanged to a tree and his body riddled
with bullets.
The young woman is resting fairly
well under the circumsta nces, and 1t is
expected she will recover. Sheriff Ward
wired the governor for state troops when
he saw that the crowd was growing so
numerous that he would not be able to
control them, but the negro was lynch
ed too quickly for interference.
Many men gathered in the city this
morning from the towns around Cor
dele and especially from Rhine, where
the young lady was reared.
The negro at noon was still hanging
to the tree, where he was shot to death.
The town has assumed its usual quiet
and orderly attitude.
