Enjoy Your Meals

When' digestion Is perfect the fluids
necessary to this process come naturally
to the aid of the stomach. They are of
right proportion and do their work speed
ily and. well: - When Indigestion and dys
pepsia are prevalent, these sams Juices
come slowly It at all, are weak and In
sufficient or are filled with strong adds
and alkalies.
When such a condition exists each meal
Is a hardship upon the digestive organs.
The meal should- strengthen the Juices,
but on Ihe contrary it weakena them, so
tint man by the very act of eating causes
conditions to arlso which of thsmsslves
bring-him pain and loathing for the next
meal.
By eating one of - Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets you mix the tablet with your
saliva and it goea Into your stomach a
strong, vigorous fluid, many times more
powerful than the natural digestive Juices
These tablsts are made up from natural
vegetable and fruit essence! and are com
posed from Hydrastis, Golden Seal, Lac
tose. Nux. Ascetic Pepsin, Bismuth and
Jamaica Ulnger.' There is the formula
and one grain of it will digest 1.000' grains
of food In any stomach. Beside digesting
the food It will give the blood the power
to enrich' the digestive fluids so aftsr a
time nature will take rare ot Itself.
Though you have no stomach trouble one
of these tablets after each meal Is
powerful assistance to nature and Is an
excellent habit to make.
Go to any druggist and ask his opinion
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. We will
abide his answer If he be an honest man.

capital, Des Moines, Is sending out circular
letters announcing the selection of the

and to solicit donations within the state

The letter which General Dodge Is send

Hon. W. W. Morrow, treasurer of state,
hss kindly agreed to act aa treasurer of
this fund and all donations, as they are
collected by the committee, are to be
promptly forwarded to him at Des MolnesT
la. Each committeeman Is authorised to
appoint subcommittees in the county he
represents so that thorough personal can
vaas of tho county may be had. I have
not the time to consult personally the
members of this committee before selecting
them, but knowing the universal friendship
every cltlxcn had for Senator Allison and
the desire to honor his memory, I am
certain all will be willing to take part In
this labor of love to assist in placing proper
tributes to htm In the capital of the na
tion and of the state which he served so
ably,, successfully and admirably for fifty
years, and I earnestly request that each
committeeman Immediately organise his
county and have It ready to canvass, so
that March 3, Senator Allison's birthday,
shall be-known aa "Allison Day", when a
state-wide popular giving can be inaugu
rated. I make a special appeal to the Dress of
the state to take up this work and make
our efforts a success. If every newspaper
In the state will often call the attention
of their readers to this tribute that we de
sire to pay to Senator Allison, who by Il
lustrious word and deed stands today the
embodiment of all that which is noblest
and best in our citizenship, and support
our efforts, we cannot fall to raise a sum
that will erect suitable memorials at
Washington and at Des Moines.
I also suggest that the principals of all
our public schools and the heads of the
various Institutions of learning give their
support to this work and obtain from each
attendant a donation, no matter how small.
as they all are greajtly Indebted to the work
of Senator Allison In laying- the founda
tions and building up our ' magnificent
edifices of learning in this state. -
. we shall go before congress and the state
legislature, asking them to supply, the lo
cation and the pedestals for each, of the
monuments and the amount of the' sub
scription received will govern the charac
ter of the memorials. Our desire is to make
this a great public subscription and will
endeavor to give every cltlsen In the state
an opportunity to pay this Just tribute to
Senator Allison.
I shall, be pleaaed to hear often from
each one of this commiltee giving me sug
gestions and reporting progress of his work,
or from any cltlsen. For the Information
of the committee I deire to atate that
there hss been organised in the east a com
mittee of distinguished members of the
Iowa Society of New York, who, under
the direction of Hon. ' J. 8. ' Clarkson, is
soliciting subscriptions throughout the east.
Accompanying la the letter is a circular
containing copies . of the correspondence
between General . Dodge and Governor Car
roll relative to the auggestlon made by thu
former that March 2, 1908, Senator Allison's
birthday anniversary, be made an "Allison

HYDRANT" WILL E REMOVED
Company W til Not Con I est tke Order
f City.
No official notice that the city would
not pay further rental on thirty-nine fire
hydrants which It la asserted by the com
mittee on fire and light did not meet the
requirements of the city ordinance has
been served, up to last evening, on E. W.
Hsrt, received of the Council Bluffs City
Water Works company.
As soon as formal notice Is served the
company will discontinue service at such
hydrants and the hydrants will probably
be removed with as little delay as possible,
Receiver Hart ststel yesterday. "There were
several reasons why tho company would
do this," said Mr. Hart.
Discussing the action of the city council
Monday night in naming thirty-nine hy
drants for which the city would refuse
to pay for the rental Mr. Hart said:
" "There Is, I think, no question of the
council's right to cut down the number of
fire hydrants to be used by the city. The
city is not required to buy water from the
company unless It wishes to do so. In this
respect H Is In the same position as any
private consumer.
"I believe, however, that members of the
council have In a measure misrepresented
the water works company's position with
respect to the fire hydrants In some of
the hill districts. The company did not
make any false pretenses when these hy
drants were Installed. It was understood
by every one that they would not come up
to the test required by the ordinance, but
It was thought that they would be better
than none at all.
"Moreover, In these places the company
has not Installed hydrants every 00 feet,
as It Is allowed to, and thus the amount
the city has had to pay has been cut
down. For Instance, there Is a stretch of
street 1,200 feet long with only two hy
drants instead of three. For this service
the city has had to pay only 1160 a year,
the rental of each hydrant being $75, in
stead of $226, the amount that could have
been charged If three hydrants had been
Installed there."
Discussing the effect on the revenue of
the company Mr. Hart said: "Admitting
that the city has the right to discontinue
paying for such hydrants as It deems fit,
this company cannot be required to operate
at a loss. The loss from the depleted hy
drant rental paid by the city will have to
be made up - from some other source and
that other source naturally will be the
private-consumer. The court, now that the
company Is In the hands of a receiver, will
not permit it to be operated at a loss and
a rearrangement of rates will of a neces
sity have to be made to provide a revenue
sufficient to meet the cost of operation
and other obligations, otherwise the plant
will have to be shut down. The burden
will naturally fall, upon the private con
sumer and it Is likely that a minimum
meter rate will be established. This mini
mum meter rate Is in force In Sioux City,
Dubuque, Cedar Rapids, and In fact in
practically every city where the plant is
owned and operated by the munclpallty."
Insurance men do not take kindly to this
action ot . the city council, and a leading
insurance sgent said yeaterday that if these
hydrants were discontinued ihe companies
carrying risks in those sections of the city
would undoubtedly raise the rates. "The
removal or discontinuance of the service
from, these hydrants will result In the in
surance companies probsbly being com
pelled to enforce In those particular sec
tions of the city what la known as "coun
try rates.' It will be hard on the property
owner but the Insurance companies will not
be to blame," said the Insurance agent.
The Children's Bona' Manufacturing com
pany. It was stated yesterday, would file
a vigorous protest against the hydrant on
South avenue, in front of Us plant, being
discontinued. The company, it waa aald,
would appeal to the courts if necessary.
BOARD OF EDUCATION PROBLEM
H laker Grades or Tnltlon In Omaha
. for Cat-Off Children.
The Board of Education has rather a
difficult problem in connection with the
graded school at Cut-Off, that portion of
the city of Council Bluffs lying west of
the Missouri river. Only six grades are
maintained In thla school and at present
there are five pupils who have passed
above the sixth' grade. These pupils were
sent by their psrents to the Lake school
In Omaha, and the Omaha school authori
ties promptly notified the parents that
they would have to pay tuition, as Omaha
was not furnishing educational facilities
for the chtl gjg of Council Bluffs.
The parent of these pupils are not only
opposed to paying auch tuition, but are
probably financially unable to do so. The
school board has been asked to either fur
nish education for these pupils in the
higher gradea or else pay for their tuition
in Omaha.
There 'are two teachers In the school at
Cut-Off, which is known as the Courtland
school. Miss Cora Jones teaches the third
to the sixth grades and Miss Emma Hoff
man teaches the first to the third grsdes.
There are, It Is said, upwards of sixty
children attending thla school and both
teachers have aa many pupils as they can
properly Instruct. The question now be
fore the board Is whether it would be the
most advisable from a money standpoint
to establish the higher grades In this
school, which would mean another teacher,
or whether to pay the tuition of these
pupils In the Omaha school. The board Is
not sure that it would have the right to
uae the money of the school district to
pay the tuition ' of these pupils In the
Omaha school. The solution of the prob
lem has been referred to tho committee
on teachers and Superintendent Bevertdge
to wrestle with. The board will meet in
adjourned session Thursdsy evening of
next week, at which time a report from
the committee Is expected. .
The crowded condition of the high school
Is another matter which is giving the
bosrd something to think about. It has
been suggested that office quarters for the
superintendent of schools be secured else
where and the rooms occupied by him in
the high school building be utilised for
class purposes. The board of trusteea of
the public library building is to be aske
to allow the superintendent of schools to
occupy a room in the library building.
At the meeting next Thursday night ar
rangements for the school election on Tues
day, March t, will be made. Two membera
of the board, to aucceed Prealdent Em
met Tlnley and Director George A. Schoed
sack, whose terms expire, are to be elected.

WORD FROM THE SPIRIT WORLD
Prof.. Hyslon . Cites Instances tkat
Have Orrorred In His Own
Experiences.
"Spirits from the vasty doi-p and their
communications to residents of this ter
restrial sphere," were told of last even
ing at the First Congregational church by
Prof. James Hyslop, secretary of the Amer
ican Institute of Scientific Research. The
lecture was under the auspices of the
philosophy and ethics department of the
Omaha Woman's club.
Prof. Hyslop gave a hurried review of
his lecture of the previous evening and
then told of the experiments In psychical
research made In this country In both tele
pathy and clairvoyance, giving many Il
lustrations from personal experience to
prove his atatement of both classes.
"None of us know whether consciousness
is a mode of motion or not," said the pro
fessor. "I contend It Is not. for matter
might perform functions not necessarily
motion. We must find facts that cannot
be controverted. Materialism Is based upon
sense perception. Those who defend ma
terialism do not resllza how much they have
receded from the former conception of it.
The work of our association is the In
vestigation of the nature and extent of
any alleged Influence of one mind upen- an
other through some process other than
normal sense perception. ' This Is accom
plished by means of telepathy, or thought
transmission. We have also Investigated
reports regarding apparitions and I have
had two of my own personal experiences.
Those In my case referred to the dying
and coincided with other external events
and the Information was conveyed to a
distance, or to some other city to people
who knew nothing of the facts.
' "The word medium Is misunderstood and
I use It as little as possible, for there are
professional mediums and frsud mediums,
and we must separate the real from the
flctltloua."
Prof. Hyslop told of the Investlgstlon of
a score of mediumistlc phenomens, pur
porting to be communications from dlscar-
nate spirits, and said that he waa con
vinced that In most or all of tho Incidents
he recited the chance of fraud was re
moved by the safeguards which had been
thrown around the mediums.
To prove the existence of spirits we

Some susceptible gcntleman-pllosopher
once declared: "One hair of a woman. can
draw more than a hundred pair, of oxen."
No one will deny that woman's beauty and
attractiveness sre both enhanced by. a head
of well-dressed hair. Women who are wor
ried because their hair Is "thinning out"
have good cause for rojolqlng.j They owe
a vote of thanks ,to Dr. Nott, . the South
ern scientist .who haa in his Hair Tonja
given to womankind a preparation that Is
designed to prompte the growth. of thick
ness and length of . hair. It will prevent
hair from falling out and, once, your head
la free from dandruff, it wJl keep. It clean.
, Some people who wash their s four
or five times a day are .-content to give
their heads a "dousing" once a jnpnthpr
even less frequently. The fact Is, the hslr
gsthers more dirt, filth and1 germs 'than
face or body. The half provides a good
hlddlng place for these advance; agents of
disease.
The habit of using Dr. Nott s Hair Tonic
' is a sensible one and Its use Is no more ex
