POPE CONFERS
 RED HATS ON
 FIVE CARDINALS
Three Spaniards and Two Aus traians, Created Year Ago, Receive Rank as Princes of Gnu: oh, Today
Elevation of Three New Digni- taries Brings Membership of Sacred College up to 60

Rome, Dec. @At a public consis- tory on the Sacred College, Pope Plus x today conferred the red hat on the last five of the IS Cardinals created a year ago, who as yet had not receiv- ed the final insignia Of their rank as princes of the church.
 The five included three Spanish Car dina1s and two Austrians, who at the time of their elevation, Nov. 27, 1911, instead of coming to the vatican for the red barretti and red hat, received the barrett from the King of Spain and the Emperor of Austria.
 The five honored today were:
 Giuseppe Maria De Cos Y Macho, archbishop of Valladolid; Antonio Vico, apostolic nuzio to the court of Madrid; i; Enrico Almaraz Santos, arch bisho op of saville; Francesca Bauer, arch bishop of Oimutz; Francesca NageI, archbishop of Vienna.
 Contrary to expectation, the Pope failed to announce the elevation to the sacred college of Monsignor Mendes falls consistory, Mgr. Bello was ere ated a cardinal 'tin pretore", that is, it was made known that he was to be a cardinal when his duties at the Por- Plus is believed to have predicated that he remain at his post until the present conflict in Portugal becomes more settled
 The final elevation of these five car dfnaIs brings the membership of the sacred college to 60. Of these Pope Plus has created 35 since Nov. g. 1903, when he held his first consis5ory. Thirty three of the cardinals are Ital- ians and 27 of other nations. Since the IS cardinals were created a year ago, four members Of the sacred co., 1ege have died, Cardinal Fisher of Cologne. Cardinal Samassa Of Austria, Cardinal Coullfe of France and Car dinaI Capecelaltro of Italy.
 The ceremony today was carried cut in the hall of Justification of the antry that has marked papa1 func- tions for centuries. The hall was di- vided according to the rank "f the brilliant audience, including members the vatican, all in full uniform and decorations, the generals ssuDerIors and high officers of various religious orders and members of the Roman ariStoc- raey who have refused to ally them selves with King Victor Emmanuel.
 Preceding the public consfstory the five cardinals met in the sistine chapel and took the oath and then the papa1 cortege moved into the public hall.
 The scores of American visitors to Rome, who attended the consis.ory. were disappointed that Archbishop Ireland, of St. Paul. was not elevat- ed to the sacred college. It had been hinted strongly that Pope Plus today red hat and that Archbishop Ireland would receive the honor, but no such announcement was made.
 The Pope officially announced the ap- pointment of the following American prelates:
 Rt- Rev. Dennis J. OsConnor, bishop of Richmond; Rt. Rev. Patrick A. Me Govern, bishop Of Cheyenne; Rt. Rev. and Rev. Edward J. Hanna, co-adju- tor bishop of San Francisco.

Millions are used every year-and when every other man or woman you
 meet recommends them to you if you will but inQuire-why do you continue to suffer from stomach trouble?
 The reasons why Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are such a widely used rem edy are very easy to understand. These tablets contain almost the same elements as the gastric juices of the stomach. And when your stomach is sick and not working just right, it does not give out enouh of the ma turaI digestive juices to properly take care of the food you eat. So if you will only give the stomach a little help by taking a Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablet after meals you will relieve the stomach of it's chief duty and al low it the rest it needs to recuperate. One grain of the active principle in a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet digests 5000 grains of food, whether you place it in a glass jar with cooked food or in your stoch after you have eaten the food.
 All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsis Tablets and once you try them yoU will never again wonder what to do for dtsordered, weak, sour and gassy stomach. 50 cents 8 box.
