And the blame la usually put on the cigar and not where It belongs. Buch men are usually nigh livers, hard workers mentally, living under high pres sure and high draught, and it doesn't take a great deal to disorder the stomach or ren der the liver torpid. They should make It a practice to use some tried and rellal;' remedy like 8tuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, i -it will aid Nature and not force It and v.ili tike care of the sud den attacks of acute indigestion. The use if thse tablets Is not to be oon founded with the patent medicine habit Btuaris Dyspepsia iauietsare not a patent medicine, but are composed of the very ele ments which nature provides the hea'tliy stomach to do the work of digestion pep- sin, aiasiase, goioen, seal, etc. There la no secret In their preparation; they are abso lutely pure and therefore all the world umi them. No matter how disordered the stomach may be. It will right itself If given the chance. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest food where the stomach can't, give the abused stomach and Intestines a rest, and offer renewed strength to the worn out glands and muscles.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) PES MOINES, Pec. 27. (Special.) Before the State Teachers' association todiy Judge H. E. Deemer of the supreme court said that at present there Is no profession of teaching In Iowa and that women teach ers ought not be paid as much wsges as men In teaching; that teaching now Is hut a temporary employment or avocation lead ing to "law or love, medicine or matri mony." He declared that there should be, and Will be soma day, a profession of teaching, but he hoped that love and mat rimony would not be Interfered with. Judge Deemer's address was one of four on the subject, "Shall There Be a Teach ers' Profession In Iowa?" The strong po sition that the Judge took upon the sub ject created, much comment among the teachers.. Not all were willing to follow him In the assertion that women teachers should not be paid as much as men and that the measure of wages should not be equal pay for equal service, but compensa tion on the bas's of the needs to support ! the family dependent upon the salary. ' Judge Peemer held that the question was properly stated In that It conceded that there Is not now a teachers' profession In the state. President McClaln of the State university, one of the four to read papere on the subject, said the program commit tee had refused to Join the popular Ana nias club singing, "In all things that are good Iowa affords the best," President McClaln discussed the problem with equal frankness. He said he be lieved there should be more of the state domination of schools Instead of less; that there should be recognition of college diplo mas; that there should be Interstate comity with respect to certificating teachers, and that the Jealousies of Institutions, fos tered much by mistaken notions of en thusiastic -alumni, must give way beforo there is a profession of teaching. The convention of the State Teachers' association monopolizes the attention . of Des Moines. The 'teachers fill all the ho tels and occupy the center of the stage. This year there Is little or no politics In the election of officers to the Important positions. Interests of the various educa tional Institutions usually dornlnate. This year there Is nothing but the personal choice between the candidates. Only three men have been mentioned for the position of president. They are: E. J. Hook of Winneshiek county, F. E. Lark of Monona county and George E. FarrelJ of Clinton county. They are all county superin tendents, 'as the election of president Is to go to the county . superintendents' sec tion this year. There is the annual dis cussion of the place of meeting, Cedar Rapids being the only competitor to Des Moines. " The resolutions committee of the State Teachers' association tomorrow will report favoring state aid for- lilgh schools and changing the date of the; annual convention to October. There wtlljibe no resolution regarding more state normal' schools. The association went jjr -record by the adoption of a resolution as favoring leav ing the new state teachers' certificate law alone, and thus . turned down the Daven port people, who are attempting to get the next legislature to amend It. The resolu tion passed by the association says thatN the law hoe much to commend It, and as It has been In force less than a year they believe It should be unchanged for at least two years more, and ask the Thirty- second general assembly to make no changes. More stability In the teachers' profession. Improvement of school houses and sur roundings, more consolidated schools. Im provement of the status of the county su perintendent, a closer supervision by the state of all schools, Including high schools, and the appointment of a commission by the legislature to revise all the school laws were recommended by President Main In his annual address. Prof. Athearn, editor of Midland Schools, the official organ of the 'association, de livered a phllllplc against the Sunday comlo newspaper supplement. He read extracts from the sayings of Sunday supplement characters to show the kind of English the children of the land are getting every Sunday and In general declared that the Sunday comlo supplement should be abol ished. Commission Has Ilearlner. The Railroad commission today gave a hearing to petitioners asking for changes In the present freight rates. All the rail roads of the state were represented by their freight agents and the various Interests of the state asking for changes were present to press their claims.

Ia., ask for a lower rate on manure which Is shipped from the cities and towns of that section, and they claim the In dustry In the future depends largely on a cheaper rate. Theodore Drake of Muscatlnd pressed that claim. C. M. Gould of Musca tine, representing the Mississippi Box com pany, asked for a lower rate on boxes packed In a certain way on the claim that the present rates act In effect to discrim inate against Muscatine on boxes.
