LIQUOR SHIPPERS
FOOL DRY HAWKS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Hunting for
loopholes In the prohibition enforcement
regulations has been a favorite occupa-
ton since Jan. II. Prohibition Com
missioner Kramer told how ship op-
orators had worked inside the law TO
get around the regulation requiring all
liquor for export to be outside the three
mile limit by midnight on Jan. IS.
On a request for a ruling it was held
that vessels taking on part Of their
cargo at a foreign part, could enter an
American port with liquor on board, and
take additional cargo without fear that
the liquor would be seized. During the
export rush just prior to Jan. II, some
ship operators hastily loaded their liquor
and left for Canada, or Cuba, where
some semblance Of loading a portion Of a
cargo was made.
When ships with American liquor for
export began dropping Into American
ports to pick up the rest of a cargo, the
prohibition enforcement officers had to
admit the law had not been violated.

What You Will-When You VIII
-Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
Help Digest the Meal.

Good food in itself is harmless. The
usual reason stomach troubles arise Is
due to faulty digestion brought about By
overwork sickness, overeating, late
bours, etc,
The best way to correct faulty stom
ach troubles due to digestive mistakes
is to do what nature wants. All that
nature usually needs in such cases is
little assistance to do this work. This 10
why doctors tell you to diet. Nature is
then compelled to aid herself You do
not then overwork her when she is al
ready exhausted.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets go into your
stomach just like food. They help d.
gest food. and thus, when the next meal
is eaten, the system is better prepared to
do its work without assistance.
By following this practice many have
corrected their stomach troubles, and
have conquered the old "bugbear' Of in
digestion.
Always take a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let after meals or just before bed time.
By. doing this you will be acting wisely
and playing safe.
Go to your druggist anywhere and buy
box now. Price. so cents.-Advertise-
ment.
