 pepsia Tablets gave me"
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets very quickly restore appetite by making the stomach want food. The stomach readily recovers from indigestion, dys- pepsia, etc, as soon as it is enabled to digest food. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after each meal quickly digest that meal and thus wonderfully rest the stomach.
 In a nhort time the digestion as- sumes its normal condition and then appetlte--and a good appetite, tools the natural consequence. One may actually fluidize a few Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets, place them in a glass tube with meat, grains, vegetables, etc, and these tablets will digest the contents Of the tube without aid. Just think then low quickly and ef- ficiently they act wien they are mixed with the food in ones system and what a great relief 1t is to the digestive ap- paratus to have its fluids so enriched. Go to your druggist today and ob- tain a 5fi-cent box and make the actual test yourself after you have eaten a large and hearty meal.

round enumbers. The report made from Washington few days ago placed the money value of the exportations of iron and steel products in 1913 at $330, 600 600, approximately Sl, 100000 day. Great Brit ain exportation of iron and steel com
 modties in 1903 was of the money value of $267,00o,000 and in 1913 of the money
 value of 67.000.0O0. Germany's exporta- | tions increased from s202, ,00o00O 10 years
 ago to $4S4, ,0O0 GOO.
 In the desperate competitive struggle between Great Britain and Germany for command of the markets of the world for
 iron and steel products Germany in 10. years won the victory. But it will be ob-
 served by those who read these statistics
 that while the United States still is third. nevertheless its increase in 10 years was
 at approximately greater ratio than that of either Great Britain or of Ger many. Apparently the United States is catching up rapidly and there needs to be only restoration of normal business ! activities the world over, and especially in the United States. for this country in
 few years to gain a pre-eminence as an exporter of iron and steel commodities which will match the confluence al- ready gained in the production of pig iron and of steel
 Apparently there is to be, this year. some falling off in our exportation of Iron ana steel products. This is a ten dency which we. presumably, share with Great Britain and Germany, and Is in great measure to be explained by finan- cfal stringency and political conditions On the continent of Europe
 Since July l and up to February 1 of
 the present fiscal year the United States
 exported iron and steel commodities of
 the value of 173,0o0,0OO. These figures
 should have been larger, and would have
 been had 1t not been for business setbacks
 which have been characteristic of all of
 the manufacturing nations. Yet s173ooo.
 600 worth of exported iron and steel com
 moditfes in 10 months was three times as
 much as was the money value of the ex-
 ports of like commodities 10 years ago

Uric Acid is Slow Poison

Unseen in its approach, hard to de-
tect in it's early stages, and cruelty
painful in it's later forms, uric acid
poisoning is a disease too often fatal.
Bright's disease is one of the final
stages of uric acid poisoning. 1t kills
In our country every year more men
and women than any other ailment
except two-consumption and pneu-
monia. Brights disease and uric acid
poisoning usually start in some kidney
weakness that would not be hard to
cure, IL discovered early. so II is well
to know the early signs OF kidney dis
ease and uric poisoning.
When uric acid is formed too fast
and the kidneys are weakened by q
cold, or fever. by overwork, or by over
indulgences, the acid collects, the blood
gets impure and heavy. there is head
ache dizziness. heart palpitation, and
a dull, heavy-headed, drowsy feeling
with disturbances of the urine,
Real torture begins when the uric
acid forms into gravel or stone in the
kidney. or crystalliZes into Jagged bits
