A Voice From
the Stomach
A Bloodless Fight 1 Between a Tablet
and Habit The Tablet Wins.
At the age of 22. Clarenc had good
digestion. He had gastrlo Julc that could
dissolve doughnut and turn apple-klii
Into good blood corpuscles.
At th age of 24 ha began to ba pro
fuse about th waist and lean backwards.
H also began to cultivate several chin.
In hi new-found pride he began to thin'
It hi duty to gorge himself on every
thing, th good and the bad, for appe
tite feed on appetite and every good
thing 1 abused.
His picture showed that he took on
weight after he put his collar on.
At th ag of : Clarence married and
want to boarding. On top of all this,
he attended oyster suppers and wine din
ners, which reduced the stse of his col
lar from 1H to It. With still abiding;
faith In the strength of his stomach h
gulped hi meal, and chewed them after
ward. At th ag of 88 Clarence began to hear
an Inward voice a warning from th
stomach. After each meal, hes;would fuel
bloated and belching became a habit.
He began to be a light eater and a
heavy thinker. He tried to think out a
cure, for now he would lt down at hi
meal absolutely disgusted at the thought
or sight of anything to eat.
He would sit down at his meals with
out the trace of an appetite, just because
It wa time to eat.
He would often feel a gnawing, unsat
isfied "still-hungry" feeling In hi stom
ach, even 'after he waa through eating,
whether hi meal wa well cooked or not.
' And , he auffered a good many other
thing with his stomach that he could
not explain, but that made him grouchy,
miserable, out-'o-eorts and generally sour
ou everybody and everything.
Finally he read an account, somo:hlr.g
like this about the truly wonderful re
sults obtained from Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablet in all casea of stomach trouble,
dyspepsia, and se on. He bought a Ct
bex at the drug store, and took the
whole box. When he started, he had
little faith and lees appetite. When he
finished he had absolute faith and more
appetite, . and more good cheer. Things
began to taste different and better to him.
Now he ha no more dyspepsia, no
more indigestion, no more loss of appe
tite, brash Irritation, burning sensation,
heartburn, nausea, eructations, bad mem
ory, or los of vim and vigor.
Remember, on ingredient of Stuart's
PpPt Tablet will digest for yon
000 grain of , food. Just as It did tor
Clarence.
Thl relieves your stomach of the work
of digesting until your stomach can get
strong and healthy again. Tour stomach
- ha been overworked and ' abused. It's
fagged out. It need a rest.
Let Stuart' Dyspepsia Tablet do th
work of your stomach. Tou will be sur
prised how fine you'll feel after eating,
and how lusciously good everything will
taste to you.

for the general fund, aaloon licenses, other

pated revenues, as the fiscal year will close

nicipal treasury.
The appropriations last year were greater
than those for 1906 by reason of the fact
that the city council raised a number of

partment being increased to $126 a month
from 1100, and that of the members of the
police and fire departments from fi6 to 870

BROW! OF KAJtSAS OCT OP TOW
Sasplclon that Grand Jary Actios May
Be the Caaee.
J. Brown, the saloon crusader from Kan
sas, ha not been seen since last Thursday,
the day before the district court grand
Jury made Its report, and he Is believed
to have left the city, but whether only
for a short , time or for good Is not known.
It is not known that the fact that the
grand Jury was expected to make a report
on Friday had anything to do with Mr.
Brown leaving the city. Much secrecy Is
maintained in the office of County Attorney
Hess, but It ) a well-known fact that
number of witnesses were summoned be
fore the grand Jury to testify as to their
dealings with Mr. Brown. Most of the wit
nesses were saloonmen upon whom Mr.
Brown served notice of Injunction suits.
but who were not Included In the batch of
petitions filed by him.
It was generally reported that certain
saloonkeepers had "settled" with Mr.
Brown, thereby averting the Injunction
suits. What the nature of these settle
ments were. It Is understood, the grand
Jury was endeavoring to ascertain. There
wsa more or less talk of a charge of ex
tortion being preferred against Mr. Brown,
but whether an indictment on such a
charge was found by the grand Jury,
County Attorney Hes yesterday declined
to state. It Is known that the grand Jury
returned two Indictments, which have as
yet not been made public, the parties
named in them not being in custody.

customers, no matter how small a Job of

government passed the house this afternoon

believed the senate will readily concur In
all the amendments made and the bill will
be sent to the governor.
The bill provides that In cities of 25,000
population or over Including special charter
cltle. on the petition of 26 per cent of the
voter a special election must be called by
the mayor on the question of the adoption
of the plan of government set forth In the

commission form of government with four
councllmen at large from the city and a

Establishes Insurance Department.
The senate today passed the bill to es
tablish a state Insurance department with
a commissioner at 83,500 a year. The bill
was hard fought on the floor on the ground
that this does not seem to be necessary at
a time when the Insurance interests of
the state are In such excellent condition
and under control of the present state
auditor. The debate also largely turned
upon a question as to whether or not the
Insurance companies or the Insured are
asking for a separate department and
whether the commission which Investigated
the matter last summer did so with re
gard to the policyholders. The vote on
the bill was:

Woman's Watchword
Whatever threatens woman's delicate sense of modesty, frightens her.
For this reason many a woman permits disease of the delicate womanly
organs to become aggravated because she cannot bring herself to submit
to the ordeal of unpleasant questionings, offensive examinations, and
obnoxious local treatments, which most physicians think necessary.'
Doubtless thousands of the women who have taken advantage of DrJ
Fierce offer of free consultation by letter have been led to do so by the
escape thus offered from a treatment repugnant to modesty.
Any sick woman may write to Dr. R.
V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., in perfect
confidence; all letters of consultation
being treated as strictly private and
sacredly confidential, and all answers
being sent in plain envelopes with no
advertising or other printing upon them.
Such consultation costs you nothing
whether you take treatment from Dr.
Pierce or not.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has
been long hailed as a "God send to
women." It makes weak women strong
and sick women well, it enables wom
en Buffering from "female weakness,"
prolapsus uteri, retroversion, antever
sion, and other displacements of the
organs distinctly feminine,' to cure
themselves right in the privacy of their
homes. Pelvic- catarrhal drains, painful
or irregular periods, backache, frequent
headaches, weak nerves, dragring-down
pain or distress in the lower abdominal,
or pelvic, region, gnawing sensation in
stomach, dizziness, or faint spells, and
kindred conditions and symptoms are
cured by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion. It is not a secret or patent medi
cine, against the use of which most
people of intelligence naturally object,
but is, in fact, the "Favorite Prescrip
tion " of a regularly educated and ex
perienced physician in the treatment
of woman's peculiar ailments and who
is not afraid to publish all its ingredi
ents, as he does, on its bottle-wrapper,
attesting the correctness of the same
under oath.

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is

suffers through disease. The brain I
