Goodbye
 Dyspepsia
No More GurgIy Brash, Lump of Lead,' Bad Digestion, Heart
 burn or Such Troubles

The man who can't help making
 faces at his stomach. the man or
 woman with grouchy digestion, or with downright dyspepsia need fret no more.
 The heaviest, richest dinners, the
 most unspeakable quick lunches, all can be taken care of without impos- ing on the stomach. A scientific di- gestive can do the digesting where the stomach either did not dosit before or did it very imperfectly. This is why the use of Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets has become so universal among those who suffer from indiges- tion and dyspepsia.
 Take one of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab lets after your next meal and if you are given to belchingy sour risings, fermentation, heavy lumpy feeling in the stomach, indigestion, dyspepsia, loss of appetite or other such digestive Encouragement, you will find at once a remarkable improvement. They arouse the gastric juices and give the stomach the rest it needs be- 1 fore it can again be healthy and 1 strong.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are for
 sale at all druggists at soc box.

NetU Sanitary Ordinance
 Presents Big Problem
Placing Responsibility for Clogged Sewerage Connections Is Question Involved in Proposed New Ordinance. Inspector Reports Conditions Unsatisfactory in Some Sections of the City Where Joint
 Accommodations Are Installed

for twelve months to come, there are many cases where the individual family cannot be held responsible. because the equipment is used jointly by several families.
 It is this situation that must be coV- cred by the new ordinance. Twice the officials, with sanitary, expert and lesaf advice, have met and gone over those phases of the new ordinance incorporated to clarify the placing of blame problem and each time the sections drawn nave heen shot full of holes in the general dis cussion.
 The question is not a triviality, the ot- ficiaIs say. It is literally a matter or life and death, and due the most pains~ taking consideration, for only when the cftv can be sure of the free riddance of fnfh can the health department be sure that sources of disease are not present

 "The ordinance is in course of being coynpiled. It may be several days De- fore it can be submitted for adoption pe- fore the city commission, but when It IS adopted it will contain such proVlslons tbaf from now on there will be no diffl- clrltv in having the responsible partes available for examination"

Placing responsibility for abused wa ter. drainage sanitary fixtures, in cases where more than one family rightfully have access to such apparatus, is ques- tion that is keeping city commissioners and real estate men, as well as the city attorney, working overtime in drawing a new sanitary ordinance
 A new ordinance was deemed necessary to cover situations now arising that in otber days did not exist
 Commissioner John R. Hornady, in whose zone of influence the sanitary and insanitary phases of the city's life arise, says that while the general con- dttion throughout the city, as reported by the city's inspectors, is very satisfac- fory. there are cases where conditions are far from pleasing. There is no diff ffculty about the inspectors sparing time from their many duties to find and re- port instances where sewerage is blocked, but to place the blame on an individual and use corrective measures has been a urublem so far almost beyond solving.
 Yet the problem must be solved, says fhe commissioners, for it is the instances of the blocked sewerage that give rise to sand spread diseases.
 A year from now, when the new ordl- nance coanpels sanitary accommodations for each individual house or family, the solution will be easy, but just now' and

Trapping the Muskrat
By F. E. TRIMMER

Of all the rurDearerS that dre lIdPpSu each year the lowly muskrat brings the most sure profit to the trapper The south abounds in some sections in this harmless creature. Where one may take a score of rats he may not be able ts take more than one mink or single rac- coon, hence the seasons catch of musk rats will figure higher than any other belts. Besides this the fur of the musk rat is becoming more and more popular each year, and, disguised as it is under many market names, It proves big sell CT. The fur is glossy and filled with long over-hars when prime that make un into a very beautiful fur when the art of the fur dresser is practlced upon IT, Almost anywhere you find marshes. swamps or water courses you will md the muskrat, and his home is In every part of the United States. During tn. | summer he stores up wild onions and other things to eat in the winter, oftea building stick houses like the beaver. He l often lives in burrows in the bank. Many times the muskrat will live in neighhorhood that is near buildings ana
 human habitation, concealing the entrance
 to his home under the surface Of the water.
 Trap the muskrat with a steel trap that will grip high up on the leg. as he seams l gifted in struggling until he gets away | from a poorly constructed trap that gets hin, only as high as his upper foot. For bait there is nothing better than sweet annie hanging on stick and suspended over the trap. Many times the unbaited trap will get him just as well. If you put 1t in his numerous runways near the water or out on the logs at the water . edre where he gets in and out Of the
 water You can tell the work of the lmuskrat by his tracks in the mud about the water where he lives, and he vill never be far from water because he is m l the water the most of any animal With the exception of the beaver.
 Often YOU will find that all muskrat lrunways lead to one particular log which
 seems to be a common dining table near the water for the whole colony. Some. times there is center where the hear' of muskrat town semes 10 De locato' VI here all the paths cross or come together Eitber of these places is just where you

For Good Fruit Storage

The first requisite of a storage place
 for fruit is absolute cleanliness. This can
 not be assured by soap and water alone.
 Sunshine, fresh air. and whitewash are
 important aids. The shelves should be
 washed clean and then dried. but undue use of water should be avoided as mois- ture is one of the chief requisites of mold
 growth A cellar may be kept dry by pIac- ing it in dishes of unslaked lime which rapidly takes up the moisture. When the lime crumbles apart. losing entirely it's | crystalline character. it has become "slaked'' and will take up no more water unless it is renewed. Growth of most | molds is retarded by light, ventilation and low temperature fruit cellar
 which will successfully keep fruit must ! possess all three conditions.
