ON THE SAFETY OF
OVEREATING
The Rale of Cbooalar tho Lesser of
Two Evils Applies to the Way
"Kou Est.
I want to know how a man la to know
when he has had enoughT
The Pilgrim Fathers, I believe, had a
Quaint saying to the effect that you should
always rise from the table feeling aa If you
could eat aome more.
' But the question la, -how much mora?
Juat when to stop.
J That's tho point.
The rule la wrong, . because it'a no rule
at all.
It Is Inexact and unscientific
It la likely to lead to the dangerous habit
of eating .too .little.
And eating too. little or dlgeatlng too lit
tle, which amounts to tbo same thing la
the cause of nine-tenths of the diseases
Xrom which humanity suffers today.
What la disease?
( It Is simply uneven balance between
waste and repair.
Some organ lacks strength to carry on
the upeclal work for which It waa created.
Where shall it find the strength It lacks?
In drugs? -'.
Ten thousand times NO!
' Better die than become a hopeless drug
Send.
No; in food.
. '"But," you say, "I eat a plenty of good
food every day!"
. Truej dear friend, but you don't digest It.
And food, undigested. Is mere poison.
. Bo, to make food do you good you must
take Stuart'a Dyspepsia Tablets.
The great thing about Stuart'a Dyspepsia
Tablets la that their action doea not depend
upon stimulative druggery.
They cannot create a habit.
They contain no Ingredients to "pick you
up," "tone up your nervous aystem" or
furnish whip energy by calling out your
vital reaerve force.
They create new strength, force and en
ergyout of your food.
If taken starving, they will do you no
good at all.
So, cat to live, and live to eat, with
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tableta
The curie of our present civilisation Is
exhaustion.
And exhaustion', whether of brain, nerves,
physical strength or vital force, is cauaed
by starvation.
Of two' evils, It Is better to overeat (and
prevent Indigestion with Stuart'a Dyspep
sia Tablets) than to rise from the table not
having eaten enough to repair the exhaus
tion of your vital forces.
For exhaustion or starvation leads to tha
most varied forms of alckneBs or disease,
brought on by Inability of tha weakened
vitality to counteract the disease poisons
and microbes.
Whereas the well fed and well nourished
person, without ever feeling the worse for
It, can expose himself to dangers, the mere
thought of which would drive tha weak,
starving dyspeptic into a panic fit.
Good food, well digested. Is the great se
cret of a healthful existence here on earth.
So, eat heartily, every day, of tha beat
food you can get, and regulate the working
cf your digestive machinery with Stuart'a
Dyspepsia Tableta.
Aa a result, you will be astonished to
find how much stronger and livelier you
feel, how much more and better work you
ean do. how much more pleasure you will
get out of life, and how your old enemy,
that chronic trouble which has fastened
upon your weak spot, whatever It Is. will
tip and away, and ever after leave you la
peace, health and comfort.

Qaeetlea of Precedence.
The great political question now Is
whether the democratic ticket will go sec
ond on the official ballot or whether this
place will be given to the populist candi
dates. During tha last few years there
has been no democratic or popullt parties
on tha official ballot, tho two havKig been
fused, consequently It Is not known which
party cast the most votes, consequently It
la a question as to the order In which
they will appear on the ballot. According
to law tho namea of the parties go on the
ballot according to tho vote received. It is
supposed tha aecretary of state haa dis
cretion In tha matter and it la not unlikely
that between thla time and the time for
tha printing of the ballota hla office will
be bealeged with represents Uvea of these
two parties, trying for position. It la taken
that when two parties fuse that each
casta half the vote received by the fusion
candidates and for that reason both of
these parties will take precedence over the
'socialists and prohibitionists. While the
secretary of state haa not Intimated which
party he will place in the second position
It la a safe guess that this will go to the
democrats.
Hotel Taraed lato Dormitory.
The old Grand hotel was formally
turned into a dormitory-for young women
attending the State university last night.
A publlo reception waa held for two hours
In the evening and Chancellor Andrews and

wlvea Inspected the building. In the build
ing rooms have been fitted up for 150

women rooming there.
Nomination Comes Easy.
Howard Kennedy, jr., did not have to
spend a cent to get the democratic judicial
oonventlon at Omaha to endorse hla nomin
ation for district Judge, and to this fact
he haa certified to the aecretary of state.
Mr. Kennedy already had the nomination
at the hands of tha' republican party.
Frateraala File Appeals.
- The Bankers' Union of the World is in

which it asks the court to reverse the de
cision of the lower court, which commanded
it to pay to Brlce F. Mlxon $1,000, due on
a benefit certificate held by William .Riley
Mlxon. The deceased In taking out his
policy stated he had not been vaccinated
and agreed to waive any claim against the
company If he should die of or was
disabled aa a reault of smallpox. The brief
stated that a number of wltneasea would
swear that Mlxon died of smallpox, while
other witnesses would swear that he died
of a complication of diseases. The question
at law la whether the company had a right
to allow Mlxon to waive any benefits.

WEST POINT. Neb.. Oct. 8.-( Special. )
The coming of Willism J. Bryan to this

lack of enthusiasm. In spite of the fact
of this county being ranked aa a stronghold
of fusion only a few persona welcomed hire

tudes and waa followed by tha political

That branch we have ordered closed. Th

OPULENCE OF PLATTE VALLEY
Thirty Million Dollari Worth of Corn
Eaiscd There, Bays Tama Jim.
SECRETARY GROWS ENTHUSIASTIC
MNehraska'a Crop Will Exceed Most
Saagnlne Expectations"--" I Never
Saw Saeh Valforiult?-" "Coo
dltlona Were Ideal."
(From n PtnfT Col repondent.)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8-(Spcclal Tele
gram.) Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson said to The Bee correspondent today
that he was firmly convinced the estimate
made on Nebraska's corn outrut for this
yenr was too low.
"I make that assertion because In my re
cent visit to Denver I had occasion to ride
through the valley of the PIntte and I
never saw such corn In my life. The condi
tions were ideal in Ncbrnska this yenr for
mnklnz corn, the soli In the Tlatte valley
taking up the rntnfnll nnd holding It until
needed. My Impression Is that there must
be 830.000.OtiO worth of corn In the PIntte
valley this year. I never saw such uni
formity In stalks nor such uniformity In
ears and In view of the fact that the frost
has not Injured the corn to any extent In
Nebraska, I feel sure that when the actual
yield Is known the corn crop of Nebraska
for 1904 will exceed the most sanguine ex
pectations. In Iowa the rainy aeason con
tinued too long and there were large areas
of soft corn left when the frost touched my
state, so that I am of the opinion that
Iowa's estlmute of the corn yield for this
year Is too high, while that of Nebraska
Is too low."
