Don't Be Pussy
About Eating
Your Stomach Will Digest Any Kind
of Food When Given the
Proper Assistance.

We are prone to fall into the error
of singing out some article of food
and soundly berating the fend who
first invented 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 lit
tie assistance with those agencies upon
which scientific students for many
years have set their seal of approval
because they have become absolute
facts. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets for
all stomach disorders are recognized;
they have a fine record; they are rated
reliable, dependable and worthy of con-
fidence just as the president of big
bank puts his o. K. on a depositor's
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, Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets in few moments
will put you right
Coated tongue, bad breath. heart
burn, belching, fatulency. bloat-an
the symptoms of digestive troubles
disappear quickly when these tablets
are used They are not a cure for
but dyspepsia and kindred
But they have brought
relief to more sufferers from digestive
diseases 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
the one we treat with the least regard
We eat too much of the wrong kind
of food at any time. The patient storn
ach stands such treatment as long as
it can and then it rebels. You get
notice of the rebellion in the shape
of the gases and pains caused by I'M
fermenting food.

election to congress, is being doomed
for secretary OF labor, his appoint
ment to be made by President Wilson
as soon as the new congress shall
have passed the bill now pending in

Wilson has for many years been
prominent member of the United Mine

ures he has recommended. He is I'M
derstood to be put forward by the OF

conservative element in the labor
movement, which warmly seconded
