JUDGE LIGHT CONsTRUEs
 THE TOWEL ENACTMENT.

Dr. J. H. Townsend. secretary of the State Board of Heath, has asked At tQrney General John H. Light, for his construction of the recent law as to the use of towels in hotels and public lavatories, saying that the board has received many queries from school off, cials. manufacturers and merchants as to the meaning of the law
 Judge Light replies that all penal statutes must be construed literally, as for instance, it has been adjudged that an act intended to punish a person who stole a COW cannot be applied to him who steals a heifer. The new law provides that individual towels must be supplied in public lavatories, but this statute cannot be extended to cover other layatorieS and the attor- ney general finds that the statute in question does not apply to manufac- tories. mercantile establishments, schools, colleges and other public in stitutions such as hospitals.

Every Meal Smiles at Me Now Since I've Been Taking Stuart's Dys-
 pepSia TabIets',
pepsia Tablets

The minute the stomach ceases to perform it's functions properly. the whole body begins to suffer. The food is only half-digested, the body only half-nourished. And the undi- gested portion of the food ferments and decays, generating nauseating gases which derange the whole sys- tenn. The eventual result is chronic dyspepsia, heartburn, bad breath, dig zinesS, hatulency and sick headache
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets instantly relieve all ailments of the stomach and digestive tract They act quickly, safely and naturally-iust like Nature herself They contain in themselves the elements which go to make up he natural gastric juices. They actually digest the food, relieving the stom ch of all the hard work. Stuart's Dys- pepsta Tablets are the standby of many a doctor in the worst cases of stomach trouble. and they never fail him.
 All druggists carry and recomme end Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. They are sold at 50 cents a box If you want to try them first. we will send you a trial package free on receipt of your name and address. F. A. Stuart Co.,, 15o Stuart Bldg, Marshall. Mich

RAILROAD EARNINGS
 STILL ON INCREASE
Greater Gains Looked For With
 Breaking Up of Cold Snap.

New Haven.Jan. 17.-The increase of gross earnings of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company, beginning with November l. which indicated a business revi- val in Southern New England, has continued into January. The increase has been continuous for about six weeks, but the last ten days of cold weather somewhat modified it. It is believed, however, that this will be compensated for as soon the cold snap closes. Inasrnuch as the increase has been noticeable both in the pas- senger and freight departments, 1t is considered significant as indicating conditions in the centers of the textile industry of this state and Rhode Island

CHITINA SHOULD GET TOGETHER

Some politicians maintain that in framing of Legislative ticket the town of Chitina should not be over looked. If a candidate for Repre- sentative from that section were to be endorsed by practically unani- nous vote it would mean that he would have couple hundred votes back of him to be cast for ticket of
 which he was part. A man like E. H. Gilman would fill the bill. He has already received the endorsement of a majority vote in his town. If they were to make it unanimous he could likely be elected There is no question as to his ability to credita- bly represent the Copper river coun- try in the new Legislative Assembly.
