(From a 8taff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. th. .-especial.) Hon. fora Coupland, recently elected a mem ber of the Board of Regents of the 8tste university, was here attending the meet Inn of organized agrirulture thia meek. In discussing politics In general Mr. Coupiand aid: "Nebraska should take no backward Mep In the. work of reform whicltls going on In this state and in the nation. In the relic tion of a delegation pledged to the snp port of the candidacy of Secretary Taft. the republican pHrty will signify Its con tinued loyalty to the principles of reform aw advocated by the president and the leaders of the party. In selecting the dele gate the party, in its own Interest, should choose men who will make an Impression on the nattoi.al convention. Those men who are known nationally, because of the magnificent fight they have made In Ne braska, should be on the delegation, that the nation may know that the party In this state will not endorse a reactionary candidate or platloj-m. The rarty will strengthen Itself if it rhosea Senator Brown and Governor Sheldon aa two of the dele- gatea-at-large, as they are known over the country as having been successful In the fight against the domination of cor porations In politics. One of the delegates should he Victor Itoscwater. eldtor of The Omaha Fee. Mr. Ko.ewater has a national acquaintance and has made a study of na tional questions. By reason of his positlDn I as editor of the greatest republican paper in the west, he will have great weight In the national convention. "I have heard some opposition to senfllng the senators and governor to the conven tlon. but I have heard no good argument offered against the proposition. The state Is entitled to four dclcgates-at-largc and four alternates and tw delegate and two alternatea from each congressional district That means tho selection of thirty-two re- publicans and so far I have not heard of anyone clamoring for a place on the dele gatlom It appears o me that leaders of the party, aside from those I have named, can find places on the delegation without anyone trying to keep the governor and senator from going to the convention. The fact thnt Senator Burkett does not wish to be a delegate should In no wipe Influence the republicans to oppose Senator Brown and G ivernnr Sheldon. In fact, we In the west part of the state believe we are en titled to representation and I believe I voice the sentiment of the party when I suggest that Senator Brown be our reprc entatlve as a delngate-at-large. Governor Sheldon should,.! my opinion be selected unanimously, regardless of his location. Mr. Rosewatcr, I believe, will be selected without opposition because of the fight The Omaha Bee ha made In the Interest or me people ror tne lasi mira 01 a, cen tury, as well as because of his own per onal worth to the party.

Deputy Auditor Cook and Secretary of State Junkln had a conference with George Copeland, regent of the Slate uni versity, this morning, and the matter dis cussed was the manner In which pur chases are made for the university, as well as some of the Individual vouchers filed.

Regent Coupland Is new to the business, lie told the officers, but just as soon as he could get a line on his new duties he would endeavor to see that for" every dol lar spent for the maintenance of the In stitution, 1(0 cents' worth of goods or service would be received.

The muscles of the body can be devel oped by, exercise until their strength has Increased manifold, and a proper amount of training each day will accomplsh this result, but it is somewhat doubtful wheth er you can Increase the digestive powers of the stomach by eating indigestible food in order to force it to work. . Nature has furnished us all with a per fect set of organs, and If they are not abused they will attend to the business required of them. They need no abnor mal strength. There is a limit to the weight a man can lift, and there ia also a limit to what the stomach can do. The cause of dyspepsia, indigestion and many affiliated dtaeaaes is that the stom ach has been exercised too much and it is tired or worn out. Not exercise but rest Is what It needs. To take something into the stomach that will relieve It from Its work for a short time something to digest the food will give It a rest and allow It time to Regain its strength. The proper aid to the digestive organs Is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which cure dyspepsia. Indigestion, gas pn the stom ach and bowels, heartburn, palpitation of the heart, and all stomach diseases. Rest and lavlgoratlon ia what the stom ach gets when you use Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablets, for on. praln of the active principle in them Is sufficient to digest X"00 grains of food. The Tablets inereaae th. flow of gastric Juice, and prevent fermentation, acidity aad sour eructlons. Do not attempt to starve out dyspepsia. You need all your strength. 'The common sense method Is to digest Hie food for the stomach and give It a rvst. Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets do not make the cure. tut enables the organs to throw ihealthy conditions. digestion means perfect health. for under these conditions only do the different, organs of the body work right apl raveive the building-up material found la pure blood. ' Stuaxt'S Dyspepsia Tablets la a natural remedy and 1s a spec! fie for stomach troubles. Tho ablest physicians prescribe tacm.

WORK OF THE NATIONAL GUARD CHARGE VICIOUS AND SILLY Adjntant General Forwards Report to the Secretary af War. His The report of drills, target practice and field instruction of the National Guard for the year 1907 has been compiled in the ad jutant general's office and forwarded to the secretary of war.

The national law requires that the guard as a whole participate in annual ,cam of Instruction of not less than five clays, while tho report shows a camp of six days. In "rendezvous target practice,'' two thirds of the company is required to take part at the same time, in actually conduct ing shooting on the range, and In no In stance was this done, he reason being that as there is no pay allowed for this, the members of companies did their shooting by squads and at their convenience. The national law also requires that each company assemble for drill at least two times in each calendar iponth, and with two-thirds of the members present.
