A TONIC FOR DYSPEPTICS

When food lies undigested in the
stomach it ferments and gas forms.
This gas distends the stomach and
presses on the heart, causing a pain
that sometimes arouses~ fear of heart
trouble. The condition in which gas
forms is caused by a low tone of the
digestive organs and a lack of rich
red blood resulting in deficient nerve
force. 1t is condition that calls for
a tonic.
DR.. williams Pink Pills. tonic for
the blood and nerves, have been used
with great success in the treatment of
this form of stomach trouble. Cold
baths in the morning followed by brisk
friction with a rough towel will help
as they stimulate the circulation but q

BEATS YOUNG WIFE
INTO SUBMITTING
TO LIFE OF SHAME
Marysville Man Made Wife Give
Him Her Earnings and
He Quit Work

Charged with having forced his 22-
year-old wife. Margaret, into a life
,of i'll fame, Jacob Radabaugh, "a
years old, former resident of Marys-
Vile, was arrested this morning and
held by Alderman Murray under ST.
900 bail for court.
Two months ago, his wife says,
Radabaugh took Margaret to the
house Of Lottie Weaver then located
at 119 Dewberry street, and after
beating her into submission brought
men to her room. He made her give
him her earnings, and quit work, she
says.
Mrs. Radabaugh, fearful of the
wrath of her husband made no COM
plant to any officers at first, but three
weeks ago went to the Office of Alder
man Murray and told of her troubles.
She was still fearful of her husband
and did not tell the complete story
Alderman Murray warned the hus-
band that IL he heard anything more
of such activities. he would arrest
him.
Last night, the woman came to the
office of the alderman again. This
time she told the full tale of how her
huopiiu lldu ldheH ntT 10 100 OOulfl
Third street after the police had ex-
posed the house of Lottie Weaver
and secretly had brought men to her.
At the hearing this afternoon, Sam
uel Cunkle, special officer, made the
information received from the wife,
and two witnesses told of the hus-
bands threats and of the way he had
brought men around to her rooms.
Radabaugh was arrested at Fourth
and Market streets at IL o'clock this
morning by Policeman Balthasar
while Samuel Cunkle was in Marys-
vile where he had gone to find Rada-
baugh. Radabaugh escaped him there
and the local policeman was sent out
to get him when it was heard that he
was in the city.
j. Clarence Funk was the private
counsel for the woman and he will
make a thorough investigation into
the woman's story. According to Mr..
Funk, Mrs. Radabaugh and the Wea-
yer woman had rooms at the house
at 1913 South Third street after they
were run out of the Dewberry street
house.

that no record had been kept of the
debts that had been contracted, nor
OF the parties with whom obligations
had been incurred, and upon inquiry,
Mr.. Forrer said to me there was no
way in which this information could
be had, although bills already filed
show deficiency of twenty-five hun
dred dollars over appropriations and
that sum will probably be increased to
three thousand dollars by the end of
the current year. 1t also appeared
that large quantities of plants and
shrubbery were furnished and plant
ed for the establishment of private
property, with no record to show
that the city had been reimbursed. 1t
also appeared that well-known
nursery company had more or less
frequent access to the city's nursery
on the island, and it was admitted by
Mr.. Forrer that upon one occasion
TINS company had received at least
Tour hundred peonies without any
compensation noted on the books of
the department. 1t also appears that

a year ago for the use of this officer

thousand dollars for maintenance and
repairs, according to bills already re-
ceived, and only four hundred dollars

also add that since December first
last, this officer has given not over
ten days service to the city, the rest
of his time having been devoted ap-
parently to creating sentiment that
would enable him to retain his pres

part of the time, for which I am very
sorry, but that did not seem to pre-
vent him from directing his campaign

HOW TO PREVENT
ACID STOMACHS AND
FOOD FERMENTATION
BY n Stomach Specialist.

AS a specialist who has spent MANY
years in the study and treatment OF
stomach troubles ! have been forced tc
the conclusion that most people who
complain of stomach trouble possess
stomachs that are absolutely healthy
and normal. The real trouble, thai
which causes all the nain and diff
Guilty, is acid in the stomach usually
due to, or aggravated by, food fer.
mentation. Acid irritates the delicate
lining of the stomach and food fermen-
tation causes wind which distends the
bloated feeling. Thus both acid and
tard the process of digestion. The
stomach is usually healthy and normal
but frritated almost past endurance by
these foreign elements-acid and wind
In all such cases-and they comprise
over 80 per cent. of all stomach diff.
nculties-the first and only step neces.
sary is to neutraliZe the acid and stou
the fermentation by taking in a little
warm or cold water Immediately after
eating, from one to two teaspoonfuls
of bisurated magnesia, which Is doubt
less the best and only really effective
antacid and food corrective known Tho
acid will be neutralized and the fer.
mentation stopped almost instantly
and your stomach will at once proceed
to digest the food in a healthy, normal
manner. Be sure to ask your chemist
for the bisurated magnesia, as I have
found other forms utterly lacking in
it's peculiarly valuable properties.

Bell Suggested Use Of
Radium as Cancer Cure
in Letter Ten Years Ago

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 24.-A let
ter written over a decade ago by DR..
Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor,
and recently discovered, is causing his
many friends here to wonder whether
he was not the first man to suggest
the imbedding of radium in bodily It's
sues as a curative agent for deep
seated cancers. The letter. dated July
21, 1908, and addressed to DR.. q. T.
Sewers, of Washington, was made pub
lie by the National Geographic So
ciety to day.
Speaking of the satisfactory results
radium was found to have on external
cancers and at the same time of the
unsatisfactory effect it had on deep
seated cancers, DR.. Bell suggested the
placing of the radium in a small glass
tube and seating it in the heart of the
cancer.

To Support a Loaded Tree.

When fruit trees bear heavily the
weight of fruit often breaks branches.
This is a common cause of damage to
young apple trees and to mature pear
trees of the big winter varieties,
whose load of fruit is often greater
than the brittle wood will support.
Growers usually relieve the strain on
a tree by propping poles under bran
ches that are overloaded. In New
Jersey orchard a better scheme is fol
lowed. Stout poles as high as the
tree are cut in the wood lot and set
firmly in post holes close to the trunk.
There they stay as permanent brac-
ing. During the fruiting season each
branch that shows tendency to over
load is tied to the pole by stout cord
or ropes. If the pole can be placed
to strike up through the tree center
the strain is reduced by the pull of
branches in various directions. Even
when it is placed at one side of the
tree it affords stanch support. With
this method one good sized pole is
enough for tree, and the familiar
collection of poles of many lengths, to
accommodate branches at various
heights, is done away with. Labor is
saved because bracing is not put up
and taken down each season, the poles
do not lie round in the way during
cultivation, and damage to a tree
through the slipping of a pole from
a heavily weighted branch during
windstorm is avoided.-Country Gen
tleman.
