A T
What You WiIl-When You Will
-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
hours. 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
a little assistance to do this work.
This is why doctors tell you to diet.
Nature is then compelled to Id her
self. You do not then overwork her
when she is already exhausted.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets go into
your stomach just like food: They
help digest food, and thus. when the
next meal is eaten. the system is bet
ter prepared to do its work without
assistance.
By following this practice many
have corrected their stomach troubles
and have conquered the old "bugbear'
Of indigestion.
Always take a Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablet after meals or just before bed
time. By doing this you will be act
ing wisely and playing safe.
Go to your druggist anywhere and
buy a box now. Price. so cents.-Adv.

that it was the one, lone. single candle
power reflector trying to flood light
the dome.
Several years ago the legislature ap-
propriated some money for flood light
ing the state house dome. That is the
money was for the firing and pur-
chase of reflectors. Topeka city had
previously waived a thirty year old
and oft repudiated street paving claim
against the state. And in addition to
donating the state the 100000 and in
terest, the city threw in perpetual
juice for the white way system when
the state spent $4,000 for its con-
struction. later came the flood light
ing And again Topeka entered into a
contract to provide the electricity.
Now it seems impossible to induce
the state employees to replace burned
out globes for the reflectors. In con-
sequence the flood lighting system has
become joke and a laughing stock.
The state house "1et George do it,
plan is at work. Maybe the state ex-
ecutive council which has control of
the building doesn't care and is con-
cerned only with campaign propa-
ganda. Maybe Custodian McDougan
has lost interest. Maybe the janitors
are too busy. Anyway there are no
lights and the theory OF efficiency

achievements to envisage future pos

those who are seeking farm homes

mind the most pr lcticable means to
this end Is for the state to take the
matter up, thru what might be termed

That there appears to be real need
for an agency of this chara cter, is in
dicated by the fact that Kansas has
not maintained even natural increase

have is constantly shifting from the

rather to probable decreased farm pro-

Keep Our Population.
Taking the normal death-rate and
birth-rate of Kansas, per 1000 inhabi-
tants, the natural annual gain in pop
ulation, based on the yearly census,
would approximate 10000. The states
total population in 1909 was 1,707,491.
Crediting the state only with this nat
ural annual gain of 10000, our popu-
lation in 1919 would have amounted
to 1,907,491. AS matter of fact. the
states population in 1919 was 1,759,-
1913, or a gain of 53,302 people. These
facts would seem to warrant efforts
not only 10 attract homeseekers but to
keep the people we have. The former
should be informed of our opportuni-
ties and the latter should be brought
to proper appreciation of them.
1t is probably human nature to look
away from home for opportunity
when as a matter of fact it is under
foot. Often the best chances are at
our very doors, where we are ac-
quainted with conditions and know
well what may be expected
