ach Revived and Made to Enjoy
Food With Stuart's Dys-
ppESia Tablets.

Most>of US eat three times a day
and often forget that each meal should
be disposed of in the stomach to make
room for the next. The failure of
the stomach to do this is called indi-
gestion or dyspepsia, with its sour ris-
ings, gas, rumblings, pain, depression
and the feeling Of STIFFNESS when
breathing is difficult
The most effective remedy and the
most reliable one, because you can
get it at any drug store in the United
States or Canada, is Stuart's Dyspep-
STA tablets, at so cents box Instead
of depriving yourself of food or going
on a starvation diet simply keep on as
you have and let these tablets
straighten out your stomach, digest
the food and keep you in the fight

Hardships Inflicted on
Soldiers Dependents
By Refund Demands

Washington, Dec. l5.-The prac
tice of war risk insurance bureau in
calling upon soldiers dependents for
refunds where investigation showed
that improper allowance has been
made was criticized by Representa-
tive Treadway of Massachusetts,, re-
publican, at committee hearing on
an amendment proposed by him to
correct it. Soon after the war start
ed the bureau, Mr.. Treadway said,
made many allowances which it found
later were not fully justified. In such
cases dependents were asked to re-
turn the money and when this was
not done the amount was taken from
the soldiers pay.
This has worked a great hard
ship upon thousands of families"
Mr.. Treadway said. when they re-
ceived the money they understood
they were entitled to it and did not
hesitate about spending it. Now
when the government asks it back,
they are not able to pay it. re-
ceived a letter today from a mother
whose son is in hospital in France
She has been ordered to refund the
money the bureau has paid her. The
only way she could do it, she said,
would be by going to work, and this
she is physically unable to do"

Chiropodists to Introduce
Law Regulating Profession

The Nebraska Association of Chi
ropodists have prepared bill which
they will introduce in the legislature
to license chiropodists and insure
the public of competent practition-
ers. No law is now provided in Ne
braska to regulate the qualifications
Of men in this practice.
Chiropodists say the war has been
the greatest thing in history to show
Americans the importance of per-
feet feet. The rigid examination de-
manded by army officers they state,
deprived thousands from serving the
colors for arch trouble alone.
Following the return of soldiers
from army camp. and abroad they
expect that more attention will be
paid by Americans to the proper
care of the feet. For this reason
they will introduce the bill to pre-
vent uneducated practitioners from
proving on the public.
