Proper Postcards in ottawa.

Ottawa, Kan, Oct. 2.-When a highly
respectable married woman of this city
received an open postal card, Saturday
last, on which was written a bold pro-
position for her to hold a clandestine
meeting with the writer at a certain
time and place, coupled with a braz-
en- reference to similar past meetings,
she naturally supposed it to be a case
of miSdelivery A reference to The
card disclosed, however, that the ad-
dress was hers. Then she went into
a condition of funk, for fear that the
letter carrier had inadvertently read
the card. Not that there was any
basis for such a communication, but
there was no telling what a letter
carrier might think. Then she inform
ed her husband, who belted on armor
and declared war on the unknown in
suffer, for the card was signed only
by given name and an unfamiliar one.
Next, the lady consulted a woman
friend and the two became immediate
ly overwhelmed with astonishment, for
each had received precisely the same
proposal-to meet "OrviI' at Identical
" the same time and place. Further
condolences with other bosom friends
led to the discovery that no less thar
p staid matrons of the city were re-
cipients of overtures from this mod
ern Lothario. Thee ards were mailed
from Williamsburg.

Science Und
the Stomach
Treating Indigestion With Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets Is an Exact
Science. They Give Quick Relief.

Medical men have learned more
about the stomach than perhaps any
other vital organ. They have dis
covered why the stomach rebels at
certain conditions-what causes the
formation of gases-what causes fiat
sensation, brash, and all the other dis
orders of the stomach.
They have gone further. They have
found remedies for all these afflic-
tions, these results of improper di-
gestion. They have learned that pep
sin, hydrochloric acid and fruit salts
are powerful digestants that relieve
quickly and surely all the troubles to
which the stomach is subject. They
have discovered that one grain of
these properties will digest 5000
grains of food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not
medicine They are a scientific
compound that supplies the stomach
with the digestive agents which it is
itself unable to provide. When your
stomach is sick and not working right
the digestive juices to properly take
care of the food you eat, these tab
lets will make up the deficiency. You
will have no indigestion. Your food
will digest thoroughly.
You never can tell just when your
stomach is going back on you. 1t
gives no warning. If you eat a big
of these little tablets. You will avoid
a lot of pain and misery.
Some of the most prominent men
carry these tablets in their vest pocll-
cts when they attend banquets, etc,
and never fail to take them.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by all druggists, at soc a hox.-Adv.

Missouri Pacific in Good Shape
as Any Western Road.
This Is Statement of e. l.. Mars
ton, Director of Gould Lines.
A BIG GAIN IN TRAFFIC
In One Month Increase of 1O,-
900 Car Loads Was Made.
Other Items of General Interest
in Traffic World.

New York, Oct. 2.-Edgar L. Mar
ston, a member of the banking firm of
Blair & Co, and a director of the
Missouri Pacific, Denver & Rio Grande
and Texas & Pacific railroads, has just
returned from an S,000-mile trip through
the west, of which $500 miles was over
the Gould lines. Mr.. MarSton states
that the expenditure of the money re-
Gently raised for Improvement of the
Missouri Pacific and carried out under
the direction of President Bush, has
resulted in so vastly improving that
property that today it is in as good
physical condition as any road west
of the Mississippi. Earnings for Aug
ust increased $S52,00O and for the two
months the increase over last year
amounted to 81, SOC 900. September and
October will also show encouraging
gains.
1.-The inherent strength of the proper
ty,'' he says, lis indicated by the fact
that in August the Missouri Pacific had
1000 carloads of traffic to turn over
to connections in excess of the number
received from connections. This gives
the company a strategical advantage in
the traffic world which can not be over
estimated in it's Importance, and
demonstrates further that the improve
ments made to the property are bring
ing big results in the way of secur-
ing a large volume of traffic as fast
as the company can demonstrate that
it can take care of it.
Under Vice President Brown of the
Denver & Rio Grande that property is
rapidly being improved, and indica tiOns
are that benefits to be derived from the
expenditure of the money received from
the recent sale of adjustment income
bonds will be in excess of expectations.
It was estimated at the time these
bonds were sold that improvements
made possible on the Denver line
would result in increasing net results
about $1,1O0,000 annually. The Texas

SAVE AL APPLES
sDOn't Waste Your Fruit" Is
Advice to Kansas Farmers.
X. s. A. C. Finding Market for
Product of State Orchards.

Manhattan, Kan, Oct. 2.-When the
offer to act as a clearing house for
fruit was sent out, recently, by the
Kansas Agricultural College it was not
supposed that the entire United States
would hear about it. No arrangements
were made to supply any states along
the Atlantic seaboard or on the Mexl-
can gulf. But the good news spread so
rapidly that the extension service mas
Inquiries now for much more fruit tnan
it can supply. At five o'clock Monday
afternoon the college could have sold
just one hundred and ninety-eight cars
of apples. It had requests from eighty
Dealers in many parts of the country
for just that much fruit. Consequently
this appeal to the orchardists is neces-
sary.
Do not throw away any apples, what
ever you do. Send in lists of the var1e-
ties you have; say whether they are
sprayed apples, and then get tneIn
ready fo- the market. Grade them, too.
Few growers seem to realize the I'M
portance of this grading. They throw
all sizes into the box or barrel forget
ting that well-sorted and well-packed
apples will sell quicker and for more
money than the carelessly packed fruit.
The SulZer Apple Package and Grade
law, recently enacted, says a grower or
packer may brand his apples Ben
Davis Standard Grade, Minimum Size,
21A inches or 20 inches" or whatever
the size may be, Grown and Packed by
John Jones, Appleville, Kansas" 1t
also provides a penalty for John Jones
if his apples do not measure 80 per
cent of 212, 2A, or inches minimum
size if they are so labeled.
No orchardist in Kansas need waste
his apples-or any other fruit, no mat
ter how much he produces. All he needs
is business methods in selling, or intel
ligence in storing what he grows. And
if he doesn't believe this just let him
try out the agricultural college clear
inghouse for fruit. He'll change his
mind in a hurry
