The Stomach Sends a Message to the

In this day and age Of known
facts. there is absolutely no excuse
for any one to suffer with stomach
trouble Indigestion. sour risings. CT
tarrh of the stomach. gas forma-
tions. etc.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are
composed Of known and approved
digestants that help out the gastric
juices Of the stomach. They are
Natures digestives, the same kind
the stomach uses when it is in good
health.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets do not
merely aid digestion-they actually
digest the food themselves, All the
hard work is thus taken off the
stomach and it gets a chance to rest
and recuperate. The undigested
food which formerly produced naus-
ating gases in the stomach becomes
thoroughly digested and as a result
provides new brain and Drawn ana
nerve cells to replace natural waste
always going on.
Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets act

LOWER COURT SUSTAINED
Conviction of Man Arraigned on
Liquor Charge is
Affirmed

Chief Justice Shepard, of the Court
of Appeals, of District of Columbia,
Yesterday affirmed the judgment Of
the police court in the case of Lewis
Jefferson, who was convicted ana
fined SEQ for the alleged unlawf Il
sale of Intoxicating liquor on board
the en- arsion steamer Angler, plying
between Washington and Washington
Park, opposite Alexandria.
Jefferson had been refused 2 liquor
license by the District excise board
and the charge against him was that
of selling liquor in the District. II.
his decision the Chief Justice said:
"The entire part of the Potomac
river between the District and the Fir-
ginia shore is part of the District Of
Columbia, and as such is subject 20
lis local legislation and police le.u!a-
TONS"
The above decision will prove Of
interest to certain persons who in late
years have persisted in selling liquor
from arks in the river off Alexandria
There has been chronic complaint 0;
this traffic, and the newspapers have
at times called attention to this open
violation of law. For long time arks
were moored opposite the reclaimed
ground in what was formerly Baptis
ing Cove. So far as can be learned
such floating saloons are not in eTi
dence this summer, as the AleXanarl;
police force took the initiative last
year and made arrests.
