Goodbye
Dyspepsia
No More Gurgly Brash, Lump of
Lead" Bad Digestion, Heartburn
or Stomach Troubles

Quick Relief. Costs Nothing to Try
The man who can't help making
faces at his stomach. the man or
woman with grouehy digestion, or
with downright dyspepsia need fret no
more over stomach troubles.
The heaviest, richest dinners, the
most unspeakable quick lunches, all
can be taken care of without imposing
on the stomach. A scientific digestive
can do the digesting. where the stom-
ach either did not do it before, or did
it very imperfectly.

Australian Scientist to Lecture Here


Reserved seats for the lecture 10 be
delivered Tuesday evening in the Ma.
iestic by Sir Douglas Mawson. the not.
ed Australian scientist and Antarctic
explorer, were placed on sale this mo-n-
ing at O'Clock at the box office when
the special tickets were exchanged. To-
morrow the general. sale will begin.
Sir Mawson will speak here as a
guest of the Natural History Society
on his daring trip across the wastes of
the South Polar seas in search of data
relative TO the atmospheric, animal, eli
matte, ocean current conditions of the
Polar seas ami their probable effect ON
the climate of Australia.
The Australian who was the scientist
with the Sir Earnest Shackleton party
that made its memorable dash for the
Pole was selected by the Australian
government as being the most compe-
tent man TO make the exploration trip.
One of his big jobs was to superintend
the construction of series of wireless
stations from his native land to the
great barrens around the Pole in order
10 keep the people at home properly
and accurately informed as TO the
weather and ocean current conditions.
His awful experiences with two COM
panions, the death of the latter, and his
return after months of untold hardship
will be thrillingly illustrated with some
really remarkable stereoptieon and NOV
ing pictures.
The Australian will reach this city at
1O.45 O'Clock Tuesday morning and
will be taken on a drive along the river
front, prior to paying visit to Cover
nor Brumbaugh at the capitol.

Kidney and Bladder Trouble
 Causes Great Distress

!
 It gives me great pleasure to rec onmend Dr. Ki1mer,s Swamp Root to any one suffering from bladder trouble v For four years was troubled bv hemorrhages from the bladder ana was not able to get any doctor who could help me. I was in such shane that sleep at night was impossible on account of distressing sJmntonos While bending over would be striclx- en with such pain that it yyyas sinonos- s1ble for me to straighten up. Mir Henry, one of our leading druggists, advised Dr. KIlner's Swamp-Root- although l never had any faith in patent medicines, as a last resort I purchased a dollar bottle of Swamp Root I noticed decided change and after using two bottles I was completely cured. It seemed remark able that I should be cured so quick " after being il so long, But since this took place nearly two years ago. l have never been troubled and would advise any one suffering from the sarne trouble to at least give Swamp Root trial and I think the results will be the same as mine.
 Yours very. truly

 The Kaiser, who had been keeping an eye on the operations from Lux enrburg, ordered the victorious gener- al to appear before him. He was in a mad rage and reproached the gener- al for sacrificing several battalions of his best troops in the attack, adding that he would discuss the exploit in greater detail after the war The general thereupon became lived with anger.
 If my men marched in serried ranks on. Longwy,' he is quoted as replying. lit was on the orders of your brat of son, who continually teIephoned to storm the place"
 The general then saIuted and re- tired, leaving the Kaiser's attendants in, state of stupefaction As he walked from the door he drew his re- volver and shot himself

FaInous Marches EaualIed.

Berlin, April 1-The prodigious marches accomplished by some of the German troops, especially. before the battle of Tannenberg and in the last battle of the Masurian Lakes, have moved a local historian to make in teresting comparisons with famous marches of sotfler days. He con cludes that no troops have ever be- fore made such 8 record in this re- spect az the soldiers now in the armies in the East.
 An average march, he says, Is 20 to 21 miles. but after three days a day of rest is observed if this pace has been kept. On the famous retreat of the 10, 900 Greeks under xenophon, after the battle of Kunaxa in 4o1 B. C., from near Babylon to Trapezant on the Black Sea- the average days march was 16 3-4 miles, but this aver age was secured by several forced marches of 27 1-2 miles and the nor may days march was about 15s 1-4 miles.
 : A striking Accomplishment was that of Napo1eon's Guards, who cov- cred no miles In six days on their Jena, and that over bad roads through the Thuringian Forest. The Ninth German army corpss with ex- hausttng narchers behind it. covered 46 miles from the vicinity of Blois to Orleans in 36 hours on December 516 and IT, 1870. over a. muddy road, and was ready to fight the next day.
 One East Prussian regiment march ed 122 miles in five days to join Him denburgs army, and took part in the battle of Tannen'berg in the after noon of the fifth day without stop ping to rest.
