AN OBJECT LESSON
In n Ilcstnuriint.
A physician 'puts tho query: Have you
ever noticed In anyjarge restaurant at lunch
or dinner time tho largo number of hearty,
vigorous old men at tho tables; mon whose
ages run from 60 to SO years; many of them
bald and all perhaps gray, but nono of
them feeble or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle Is so common as to
havu escaped your observation or comment,
but nevertheless It Is an object lesson which
means something,
If you will notlco what these hearty old
fellows are eating you will observe that they
are not munching bran crackers nor gingerly
picking tholr way through a menu card of
now fanglcd health foods; on the contrary,
them seem to prefer a Juicy roast of beef, a
properly turned loin of mutton, and even
the deadly broiled lobster Is not altogether
Ignored.
The point of all this Is that a vigorous o'd
age depends upon good digestion and plenty
of wholesome food and not upon a dieting
and an endeavor to live upon bran crackois.
Thero Is a certain class of food cranks who
scorn to believe that meat, coffee and many
other good things aro rank poisons, but
these cadaverous, sickly looking individuals
ore a walking condemnation of their own
theories.
Tho mater In a nutshell Is that if tho
stomach secretes tho natural illgcntivo
Juices In sulTlclcnt quantity any wholesome
food will bo promptly digested: If tho stoni
ach does not do so, and certain foods causo
distress, one or two of Stuart's DyspepMa
Tablets after each meal will remove all diffi
culty, becauro they supply Just what every
weak stomach lacks, pepsin, hydro-chloric
acid, diastase and nux.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not act
upon tho bowels and In fact are not strictly
a medicine, as they act almost ontlrely up:n
the food eaten, digesting It thoroughly and
thus gives a much needed rest and giving
an oppetlto for tho next meal.
Of people who travel nine out of ten uso
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, knowing them
to be perfectly safe to me at any tlmo am:
also having found out by cxporlenco that
they aro a safeguard against Indlgcutlon In
any form, nnd eating as they bavo to, at all
hours and all kinds of food, tho traveling
public for yeaio have pinned their faith to
Stuart's Tablets,
All drugglnts sell them at 60 cents for full
slied packages and any druggist from Malno
to California, If his opinion were asked, will
say that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the
meat popular and successful remedy for any
stomach trouble , ...

INDIAN AGENCIES PROSPERING
Only Drnvrback In the Snlr mt Whisky
hy Denlern Who Live Outside
the Stnte.
Ex-flovcrnor McConnell of Idaho, Inspector 1
of Indian affairs, Is In the city on his way
to Washington from the Omaha and Win- j
nebago agencies, where he has been tor a I
woek looking over the field for the purpose of
reporting upon proposed improvements nnd
of correcting existing evils.
"Everything at tho ngency Is In good
shape," said Mr. McConnell, "with ono ex
ception, nnd that Is the sale of whisky.
There Is moro of that going on at tho Win
nebago agency than at any other agency of
the country having the samo number of
Indians upon It. The reason for this '
obvious. The state line Is near nnd dealers
In tho contraband goods can soil their stock
nnd got acrots tho line before they can be
apprehended. For a week I have been
working on whisky cases and as a result
four persons wero locked up In the Douglas
county Jail Saturday charged with selling
liquor to tho Indians. Before theso men
were arrested I worked up the case and
obtained a confession from each of them, no
that thoy are now really awaiting sentence,
Thero are several more at the agency, and
I think that there will bo. at least twenty
five convictions at this term of tho federal
court growing out of the sale of liquor at
thin agency.
"Ono reason for tho Increased number
of offenders Is the slight punishment which
has been meted out to those convicted and I
believe that If some of them were given
tho limit of the Inw tho crime would bo of
lefs frequent occurrence."
Tho Inspector held a brief conference with
Judge Mungcr of tho United States court
yesterday afternoon, presumably with ref
erence to the cases now awaiting disposal.

SOUTH OMAIIA NEWS.j
An Immeneo amount of business was
transacted by tho city council ,at the ad
journed sctlon held last night. All mem
bers were present and Mayor Kelly occupied
tho chair. Thero was a good crowd and
considerable Interest In tho proceedings was
manifest. It was expected that an appoint
ment to fill the vacancy In the council
might bo offered by the mayor and this
brought out quite a crowd. Contrary to
expectations Mayor Kelly did not nomlnato
any ono to fill the existing vacancy and
nono of tho members of the council men
tioned the Tact.
Tho bond of Frank Koutsky as city treas
urer was read and referred to tho finance
committee. This osmrolttce reported In
favor of accepting the bond and this was
dono by the mayor and council. Mr. Kout
sky gives a bond to tho city nt this time
for $104,000. He will take chargo of tho
office today. Mr. Broadwell will turn over
all tho moneys duo tho city In each and
tho same will bo deposited by Treasurer
Koutsky In tho threo national banks of
the city. Herman Beal, an city engineer,
gavo a surety bond for $2,000 and tho same
was referred to tho city attorney, os was
alPo a number of bonds offered by police
men. Member Adklns mado tbo statement that
citizens generally wero Interested In 6eelng
Mnyor Kelly secure better police protection
nnd to this end ho offered a resolution pro
viding that nil policemen should measure
nt least 5 feet 11 Inches, weigh 176 pounds
and bo not over 40 years of age. A good
health certificate Is also necessary. This
certificate to be signed by' some reputablo
physician. Tho recommendations of Mr,
Adklna wero adopted, bill!' tho provUo was
made that tho ruling should not tako effect
until July 1.
Ah for tho working of prisoners a resolu
tion was adopted Instructing tho city attor
ney to prepare an ordlnanco providing that
prlsonors nrrested for violations of the city
ordlnancea bo worked aa Is contemplated by
tho charter. This ordinance, it Is oxpected,
will bo drnfted within tho next few days
and bo ready for tho consideration of the
council at Its next meeting on May 7,
In connection with reform government
nnd In concurrence with the Ideas of the
mayor an ordinance will bo drafted regu
lating tho removal of garbage. The main
points In the mayor's mersage In this regard
will be considered and the ordinance Is
expected to completely revolutionize tho
hauling of garbage within the city limits.
By the changes contemplated the taxpayer"
will be greatly benefited and there will be
no monopoly In the hauling of garbage
hereafter.
Street Commissioner John Resa tendered
his resignation and It wan accepted. To
fill tho vacancy Mayor Kelly named Frank
Clark. When It came to a confirmation
voto Clark was turned down. These mem
bers voted against him: Dvorak, Tralnor,
Mnrtln and Johnston.
Mayor Kelly was evidently surprised -when
his appointment was treated as It was, as
Clark is a man of known ability and the
mgntivo vote cf Ifxur members nhowed
conclusively that Ed Johnston was behind
tho movement. The mayor said that at this
time of tho year an able man was needed
nt the hend of tho street department and
he could not see why tho council refused
to confirm such a man as Clark. He asked
tho reasons of thono voting In the negative,
but as no nnswer was forthcoming the mat
ter was parsed.
William Irving requested the privilege of
erecting a store and waiting room for street
car passengers nt tho east end of tho Q
street viaduct and tho matter went to tho
committee on streets nnd alleys.
An ordlnanco was Introduced creating the
office of city electrician and defining tho
duties of the office. The present ordinance
Is considerably behind the times and new
regulations regarding electric wiring, etc.,
nro badly needed. Thla ordinance provides
that tho rules of tho National Association
of Underwriters be adopted and that an
examining board of threo be appointed.
This board Is to consist of tho city electri
cian, the chief of the fire department and
ono expert electrician to bo selected by the
two members. This ordinance Is now being
coneldered by tho Judiciary committee.

Wherever there Is mucous membrane there
