A great many people are severely bothered with intestinal indigestion due to the fact that the starchy foods, such as potatoes, rice. white bread. etc, are digetsed in the small intestine and not in the stomach as is generally supposed.
 To relieve this condition Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are we'll supplied with an intestinal digestant so that int stead of practicing severe diet you may eat these essential. nourishing foods without distress.
 In the small intestine the pancrsatic juice acts upon the starches and or dinarily, in state of health. possesses the power of converting them into grape sugar and dextrine. Starch must be so transformed before it can be of use to the bodily economy RemainSgg as unchanged starch, it either passes through the alimentary canal and proves useies burden to the system because it resists absorption, or it causes intestinal indigestion, the food products becoming acrid through pntre- faction, which often sets up a catarrhal inflammation of the intestine, resulting in diarrhoea

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. Federal
and state food inspectors in fifty-two
towns of eight northern states are
making frantic efforts tonight to To-
cate and destroy dozens of bottles
of ripe stuffed olives containing the
deadly bacilli, botulinus.
A single case Of olive poisoning at
Kalispell, Mont, which led to the dis
covery of the danger, is the only one
reported so far. Federal chemists
who uncovered the widespread dis
tribution of the poisoned fruit are
making every effort to reach and
confiscate the bottles, and a warn
ing has been sent broadcast advising
housewives to return unopened all
containers holding the suspected
brand.
The olives, packed in 1918 by a
California importer, were sold to the
retail trade through Sprague. War

dress today that former Senator j.

Changes in 40 Years Make
Such Work Unnecessary

Just before adjournment of tn,

pointed by Acting District Judg,
Harbert Davenport, filed its repor
on financial conditions of the coun
ty and made a number of recommen
dations as to the handling of fund.
and the business administration OF

The report, which will be published
fully when space and paper permits
is prefaced with the following state.
ment:
"The statute under which we were
appointed seems to contemplate that
our Investigations should go back &
the report of farmer committee o:
this character. We learned from
County Clerk Webb that the last fl.
nance committee under this statute
reported about thirty years ago.
Since the enactment of the stat.
ute under which we were appointed
numerous changes have been made
with respect to the law governing
county finances. Counties have been
put under the fee bill statute, county
auditors have been provided for. and
so on, until it is doubtful now if this
character of committee can render
the service expected if them at the
time the statute was enacted some
forty years ago"
Under the heading commission
ers court" the committee calls atten-
tion to the fact that the court has
not complied with Article l45O, re-
vised statutes, by making and spread
ing on the minute books an affidavit
that they have examined the treas
urer's reports and counted the money
in the depository. They also point
out that a great deal Of inconveni-
ence has been caused 70 the tax pay

fact that the tax rolls have not beer:

do not feel that it is our province to

where his tomb is now shrine be-
fore which a nation bows in rever-
ence. young Abraham Lincoln paid
tribute to George Washington. The
words he uttered there, perhaps as
eloquent as his world-famed Gettys-
burg address, have been lost for
three quarters of century in the
pages Of a country newspaper, hidden
away in the files of the Congressional
library. They were brought to light
to be given to the world for the first
time almost on the eve of another
birthday of the first president.
"This is the 10th anniversary Of
the birthday of Washington, = he said.

earth, long since mightiest in the
cause Of civil liberty; still mightiest

The first announcement from the
1910 enumeration was made sixty
days after taking Of the count be-
gan, while in the 1920 census Wash
ington and Cincinnati have taken
only 50 days.

cities, towns and villages are ready
to be made public, Director Rogers
of the Census Bureau will certify to
the major or other executive head

announced in the preliminary fig
ures. Should any place consider its
population inaccurately counted,
