Old Mercantile Establishment Chang

At Chaseburg the Hoyt store has
been one of the substantial and sue
cessful institutions of the county for
more than forty years. Upon the
death of Senator Jos. W. Hoyt, adozen
or more years 81. &c, his sons Russell
and Harry continued the business, the
latter retiring some years ago. Mr..
Russell B. Hoyt has greatly enlarged
the scope of business, two years ago
erecting and equipping the most COM
plete business house in the county. He
has been assisted in these ARRANGEMENTS
by active participation of his son Scott,
whom it is announced will remove to
Madison and renew his profession of
dentistry. The senior Hoyt, who has
other interests, will we hope, retain
his home at Chaseburg. The Hoyts
are succeeded in trade by two active
young men of Chaseburg, Charles Brud-
los and Maurice Egstad.

Dyspeptics easy
prey for many
fatal diseases
How to Get Rid Of Dyspepsia and be
Safe.

II you have dyspepsia your food ia
only partly digested. Probably you
cannot eat as much and as many kinds
Of food as your system really needs.
insufficient quantity and variety Of
food impairs the action Of the ptom-
ach, liver and intestines. When these
organs are not operating normally
the blood becomes impure. When the
blood Is allowed to remain impure for
a considerable time, the whole system
becomes weakened. This weakening
run down" condition comes on so
gradually that most people don't real
lie their condition until they are in
really dangerous shape. It IS this
run down. condition that makes peO-
pie very susceptible to sudden ATTACKS
of typhoid fever, pneumonia, pleurisy
and many other diseases. The old,
maxim about IAN ounce Of prevention
applies with great force to this SUBJ
ject. It is the simplest matter in the
world to prevent or overcome ordinary
DYSPEPSIA which is caused by an excess
OF acid in the stomach All that is
necessary Is to neutraliZe the excess
acid. To do so, simply take a tea
spoonful Of pure bisurated magnesie,
dissolved IN a quarter Of a glass Of
water, after each meal. People trying
this simple acid neutralizer for the
first tipe, are amazed by the instant
relief and the quick restoration of
normal appetite and digestion. Be
sure to get bisurated magnesia as
other forms Of magnesia are not suit
able. Any druggist can supply you.

Stani Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Radical
changes in the type OF new submn-
rines to be built for Uncle Sans navy
are being worked out by the chief
naval constructor. Navy officials ad-
mitted today that some new wrinkles
in submersibles probably would be
adopted when congress authorizes the
proposed new feet Of undersea craft
which will represent the latest
thought in such construction.
Especial attention Is being given,
Secretary Daniels states. to the Nues-
ton Of submarine construction. A
corps OF experts, at home and abroad.
are collecting information to be as
simulated in the new U. 8. submarine.
Electric propulsion is the latest In
submarines. according to the present
determination Of the naval construc-
tors It Is probable that electric mot
ors may be used exclusively In the
future. Naval authorities also con.
template divesting the present fleet Of
submarines OF gas engines and substf.
tuting electric power
One difficulty In the way Of U. s.
naval progress in building submarines
is the patent monopoly" which con-
fines this government to one type OF
submersib1e. This is the Lake type.
While other types with some more de-
sirable features are being built, Sec.
rotary Daniels says the government
never has been able to, reach satisfac-
tory terms with patentees of other
submarines than the Lake variety.
Negotiations are in progress, however,
by which the government may be able
to adopt some OF the more desirable
features OF other patterns.
The government would not be bar
red from nsing the other submarine
patents in case the U. 8. became In
volved in war, however, according to
Secretary Daniels. He admitted that
the government would not hesitate to
appropriate the submarine patents. and
use them in building its own 'subma-
rines in time OF war. Compensation
would be given the patentees, of
course. or they could resort to the
courts-but after the government had
received the benefit of submersible
patents. The government. according
to Secretary Daniels, would not hest
tate to adopt such a policy, as mat
ter Of defense in time of national
peril. without regard to the contract
and patent rights of patentees.
Secretary Daniels hopes that con-
gress will eventually authorize con-
struction by the government itself OF
all of its submarines. 1t ts now build
