A Good Appetite Is
 a Glorious Thing
And Any Person Can Have a Rip Roaring One If Stuart's Dyspepsia
 Tablets Are Used
 After Meals

The secret of appetite lies in a heal thy and normal desire for food on the part of the stomach and other digestive organs.
 Your digestive apparatus always wants more food when it is normal and it wants all kinds of food too heavy and light, sweet and sour. These qualities are needed by mans blood and so the system craves them. This craving is appetite.

|STUPENDOUS TASK
FOR COMMISSION
Physical Valuation Of Railroads
Big Cost.
PLANS GIVEN TO CONGRESS-.
Officers OF Interstate Commerce Com
mission Estimate 1t viii Take
From Five To Seven
Years.

Washington Physical valuation of
the railroads of the United States by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
will take fromsfve to seven years by a
specially organized corps Of men. and
will cost the government from $10,-
100000 to $15,00O,00O or more, accord
ing to plans of TIE commission pre-
serted to the House Appropriations
Committee. The commission has
naked for an immediate appropriation
~ $1,500,000 for the organization Of
s3e corps of engineers necessary to
undertake the work.
Commissioners Clements and
Prouty, and Secretary George B. Nc
Ginty, of the commission have told
the House appropriations subcommit-
tee that a carefully worked out esti-
mate places the cost of the field work
at $1,921,500 year throughout that
period.
The plan presented by Mr. McGinty
contemplates the division of the coun-
try into five districts containing APP
proximately $4,000 miles of railroad
each.
Mr.. McGinty has explained to the
committee that the estimated cost per
year of each lof these district organ
izations with their groups of field
squads would be about $384,300, or a
total per year for the five districts of
nearly two million dollars. In addi-
ton to this he estimated that the ac-
counting feature of the work would
cast about $350,000 year, and that
the maintenance of valuation Office
in Washington would cost probably
$150,000 a year.
Although the committee was
skeptical Mr.. McGinty was confident
that the commission would be able to
get the field force organized through
the civil service commission by the
first of next year, to take care of the
first years work. 1t was for this pur-
pose, he said, that the commission
needed $1,500,O00.
Mr.. McGinty mentioned cases where
it cost from So to SIS mile to ascer-
tain the value of railroads.
"In all of these cases only the re-
production value of the road was
ascertained," he continued. whereas
we are required to ascertain
the reproduction value, the de-
preciated value and, in addition, to
work out the history of the roads and
ascertain the amount of money invest
ed in their original construction. The
total cost to the government will prob
ably exceed $50 a mile or total cost
Of from $10,000.00O to $15,O0O.00O, but,
of course, this is only guess.

POSES AS THE
NATIONAL HERO
General Castro Issues a Bonn
bastiC Proclamation.
CALLS VENEZUELA TO ARMS.
An Expedition Organized TO Meet the
invaders All OF the Govern
nnent Officials In coro Killed
Or Taken Prisoners

Caracas, Venezuela--It was report
cd here that all the Venezuelan gov
eminent officials in Coro, in the State
Of Falcon, were surprised by former
President Cipriano Castro and killed
or taken prisoners.
In proclamation dated Coro, July
n, Castro says, in part:
War has become inevitable! de-
clare myself in campaign against Juan
Vincente Gomez, whose treason and
usurpation of power since 1908 have
become a real catastrophe, calling me
from private life.
Crime extends its horrible wings
over the whole Republic of Vene-
zuela. The crazy and ferocious Gomez
bears on his FOREHEAD the eternal mark
Of a traitor. His brutal look and his
prefdious smile encourage his few fol-
lowers to finish the ruin Of the father
land
Heroic Venezuela acclaims me
again to revindicate her rights.
Il am a slave to honor and duty,
and accept the honor.
MY program in regard to domestic
affairs is to save my country from
threatening anarchy, and my foreign
policy is to join hands with civilization
and progress on the basis of equity
and justice.
Everybody in Venezuela should
take arms and contribute to the sal
walton of the fatherland"
The mobilization of the Venezuelan
government troops in Caracas was
completed, and an expedition is ex-
pected to leave the capital at any
moment to meet the revolutionary in
vaders.
1t is believed the first objective
point OF the government troops will
be the State of Falcon, of which Cofo.
the capital, was reported to have
fallen into hte hands of Gen. Cipriano
Castro's adherents few days ago.
The government troops are well
organized and thoroughly equipped
for any service.

Here long row of women with man
or two crouches on the very brink;
and Brahmin priest, naked but for a
loin cloth, passes from one to another
and gives them the sacred mark. They
put the water of the river on his feet
and kiss them; then they drink the
water which has touched him from
their hands. One woman rises up,
her arms straight above her head, and
makes obeisance. The priest gives
them some directions-mutters his
mantras-and waves his hands in to-
ken of dismissal
Though it is not easy to distinguish
the ordinary washing and bathing
from the sacred function. there is
enough of the manifested act of wor-
ship to give to the scene an air of
solemnity. Men and women are mix
ed, but no one regards any one else.
Each is engaged in his own ablution,
physical or spiritual. Here a woman
crouches, splashing the water on her
face and making mystical marks on
forehead and breast. Here man
stands in the water, revolving ana
folding his hands together each time
in his revolution as he faces the sun
Here is another man in red cloak
standing up to his waist and mutter-
ing with whirring sound. There he
stands daily from a. m. to noon,
and has done so for nine years. His
eyes are bleared with the sun, all ex-
preston has left his face. He is like
a mechanism of devotion
In another place young men, NUT
tering their prayers, plunge into the
stream and return to their little
matted platforms. There must be
three dips to accomplish the necessary
purgation. As the : bathers return
through the narrow street they shrink
from contact with the passerby. for IL
they touch they must return and re-
peat their washing

Ex- Governor Lind Goesas Presi-
dents Representative.
AMBASSADORS WILSON IS OUT.
Administration Determined Not To
Recognize Huerta and Thereby
condone the Assassination
OF Madero and Suarez.

Washington. President Wilson took
the first steps in the policy through
which he proposes to deal with the
Mexican situation. He formally ac-
cepted the resignation Of Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson, to take effect
October IA and sent to Mexico City as
his personal representative but not
accredited to the Huerta government
former Governor John Lind, of
Minnesota, lifelong friend OF Secre-
tary Bryan. The understanding is
that when stable government Is
established in Mexico, Mr.. Lind will
be formally named as ambassador.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan had frequent conferences dur
ing the day; Ambassador Wilson had
long talk with Mr.. Bryan, and Chair
man Bacon, of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, discussed the
situation with the President at the
White House. But exception the an
nouncement of Mr.. Lind's Mission, no
explanation OF the policy to be pur-
sued by the American gokernment was
Forthcoming.
Official ANNOUNCEMENT.
The statement from Secretary
Bryan read:
Ex-Governor John Lind, of Mime
sofa, has been sent to Mexico as the
personal representative of the Presi-
dent to act as adviser to the embassy
In the present situation When the
President is ready to communicate
with the Mexican authorities as to the
restoration of peace he will make pub
lie his views. Governor and Mrs. Lind
departed for Mexico by rail, to pro-
coed via New Orleans or Galveston.
It became known that a further an
nouncement would be made by Presi-
dent Wilson in few days. possibly on
the arrival of Mr. Lind in Mexico
City.
1t is said the President is observ-
Ing with keen interest the efforts Of
leading Mexicans to bring about peace
and will offer no suggestions until
these apparently prove futile. That
Mr.. Lind will be empowered to explain
to all inquirers the unalterable opposi-
tion of the American government to
the recognition Of the Huerta ad-
ministration, is expected to be fac
tor which may assist the situation.
Prominent Mexicans have taken it
upon themselves to try to persuade
General Huerta to retire in favor of
another provisional executive accept
able to all factions.
Meanwhile, arms and munitions Of
war from the United States will con-
tinue to be denied to the two warning
forces, and unless it is apparent that
internal efforts to bring about peace
have failed the United States will not
offer its services as a mediator. Mr..
Lind will undoubtedly act in that
capacity when the time comes.
