Make The Stomach Go Back To Work
Then IS the Whole System Clad. Rurola Dyspepsia Tablets Will Quickly Put the Stomach In Shape.

When the stomach fails to do it's work properly the whole machine of man Is unstrung and wholly in- capable of work. This condition obtains from the tiniest nerve to the big strong pumping heart.
 It is a wise law of nature that has made the stomach mans strong est organ, but when it stops work man ought to realize that it does so because it can continue no longer.
 Purola Dyspepsia Tablets will certainly give the stomach the re- pair it needs and is always crying aloud for.
 A tablet taken after each meal will in the course of several hours become a portion O" the digestive fluids. It will build uU these fluids. First in the stomach, then in the intestines.
 The liver is the storehouse Of the UOuy. dGI0 diS eisooSuhNLSu eiAI kAS reserve fluids of the system and here the various ingredients of Dys- pepsia Tablets mingle with the faulty natural juices and strength en them, or if they are too strong then they will be reduced to their proper strength and proportion.
 Purola Dyspepsia Tablets con tain a single ingredient, one grain of which is sufficient to digest 5000 grains of food. Just think how gratefully such an element is received into a body that cannot digest at all without a new weaken ing of the already depleted juices.
 Go to Keller Bros. Drug Co this very day and obtain box of Purola Dyspepsia Tablets, price 50 cents. A weeks trial will make you a new man and your ntomach will go back to work.

ALL FOR TUBERCULOSIS WORK
Cross Christmas Seals is for
War Relief.

None of the proceeds from the sale
of Red Cross Christmas seals which
are being sold widely throughout the
United States for the benefit of the
antituberculosis movement will be
used for war relief purposes, accord
ing to a statement issued by Ernest
p Bicknell, national director of the
American Red Cross.
Mr. Bicknell says: while the Red
Cross is trying very hard to raise a
large war relief fund and is anxious to
secure contributions that will increase
this fund, we do not feel justified in
adopting any policy which will tend
to cripple the tuberculosis work in this
country. which is dependent for its
support to so large an extent on the
sale of Red Cross Christmas seals.
AT the present time there are over
one thousand antituberculosis So
cieties distributed over nearly every
state in the Union and even in Vera
Cruz, the Canal Zone and far of
Hawaii, which are dependent almost
entirely upon the receipts from the
Red Cross seal sale for their work
during the year 1915. The people OF
the United States must support this
local war against tuberculosis, which
annually kills 100000 people. and at
the present time is leaving trail OF

Is omnibus bills" would carry the
changes suggested. One hundred and
Ave sections OF the criminal code and
81 sections of the civil code are af-
fected.
An entire revision of the law appli-
cable to charges of venue, so as to
simplify the system and not delay
trials, is suggested.
The law governing continuances in
criminal cases will be amended.
An amendment to an existing stat
ute provides that defendants joined in
the same indictment or information
may be tried jointly or separately, in
the discretion of the Judge,
Another amendment would provide
that conscientious scruples against the
death penalty shall not exempt from
jury service when the point is waived

Jefferson City.

There is considerable speculation
here as TO what action the public serv-

plication of the railroads for higher
freight and passenger rates.
Outside of statements by President
B. F. Bush of the Missouri Pacific
Iron Mountain system and Judge O..
M. Spencer of the Burlington regard
ing the general depression due to in
sufficient revenues, the hearing so far
has been confined to inquiries by the
commission as to methods in keeping
their accounts and apportioning re-
ceipts and expenditures.
In dealing with controversies over
utility rates in the past, where no
agreement could be effected by the
parties concerned, the commission has
first ordered a physical valuation of
the property involved To follow this
plan with regard to the railroads
would require much time. The com
mission now is cooperating with the
interstate commerce commission on
physical valuation of railroad proper
ty in Missouri for rate-making pur-
poses.
1t is estimated that this task can
not be completed in less than four
years, but the commission hardly
could leave the railroad problem un-
solved that long without at least max.
ing some temporary orders.
