It Is a Wise Precaution to
Take a Stuart's Dyspepsia

The range of food is so great, its

few stomachs areJstrong enough to
grapple with all conditions of res-
taurants, hotels, clubs, depots and
banquets. The safe plan is to be
provided with Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, that you may eat rich and
palatable foods served or selected
and not be troubled with gas, sour
' risings or such forms of indigestion.
TheSe tablets digest food, they as
sist the stomach secretions and for
,this reason peopje who travel away
from home and must eat as it is
served may play safe by taking one
or two Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after each meal.
You can get these tablets in any
drug store anywhere in the United
States or Canada, which shows in
what general favor they are among
those who have learned how to en
joy their meals. .

Huge Plant, Only .One of Kind
In West Will Employ,
Several Hundred
Men.
The Metz Brothers brewery prop
erty, Sixth, Seventh, Leavenworth
and Marcy streets, has been sold by
A. if. I ukey v son to -tf Lorn
Derivatives company, a new Omaha
corporation of large size which will
equip the plant immediately to pro
duce corn sugar, glucose, corn oil,
corn gluten feed, besides a number
of by-products " such as vinegar,
germ oil meal, com breakfast food,
coffee substitute, glue, paste, baker's
bread improver, etc.
J. he property is valued at more
than $500,000. A large amount will
be spent on alterations.
Work on preparing the plant for
its new use already has been started.
and one unit will be working in a
short time.
Employ Several Hundred.
When the whole plant is in opera
tion it will employ several hundred
men, and is considered one of the
finest additions made in a long time
to Omaha's industrial life.
Among those interested in the
new enterprise are W. 1. Graham,
Harry A. Tukey, W.-E. Foshier and
the Metz brothers of Omaha; Paul
W. Allen of Cortland, N. Y.. and
J. P. Norton of Tulsa, Okl.
j. m. uiuan, manager ot tne
Chamber of Commerce industrial
bureau, has been working for sev
eral years to get a plant of this kfnd
established in here.
Only Plant in West
Omaha is considered an ideal
place for a corn products plant.
This will be the only plant of its
kind west of the- Mississippi river.
and it is thought the demand in this
section will consume the entire sup
ply of the. plant.
It is very interesting to note.
said Harry A. Tukey, "that a bushel
of corn, under a new process which
the company will use, will produce
32 pounds of starch, 18 pounds of
gluten feed, 12 pounds of corn oil.
The 32 pounds of starch, after it
has passed on to the refinery, will
produce 38 pounds of corn sugar,
10 per cent moisture or 40 pounds
of glucose, 20 per cent moisture.
Glucose and corn sugar are used ex
tensively by the candy, tobacco and
jelly and jam manufacturers."

Belgian Poet's Engagement
In Omaha Is Cancelled
The engagement of Maurice Mae
terlinck, the Belgian poet, who came
to the United States for a lecture
tour and who was to have appeared
in Omaha under the auspices of the
Drama league, has been cancelled,
according to advice from the Pond
lecture bureau.
It is understood that Mr. Maeter
linck's contract with the lecture
bureau was cancelled because of the
poet's inability to make himself un
derstood in English. He had agreed
to deliver his lectures in English, but
was obliged to use an interpreter.
If Maeterlinck comes to Omaha it
will be under the direction of some
other management, or upon his own

ators Still Reporting--Hopkins
' Sure -200,000
Mark Will Be Passed.
A total of 6,570 names, - said to
have been missed by federal census
enumerators, have been recorded by
the Chamber of Commerce, and
turned over to John II. Hopkins, di
rector of the federal census in this
district, for verification.
Of this number 2,500 names were
recorded by girls who arc still eiir
gaged in calling all subscribers to
telephones in Omaha; 1,857 names
were secured from a roll call held
last week among School children,
and 2,213 names were reported to
the chamber by large employers ot
the city.
Names of people missed by enum
erators arc still being received at
the chamber, anTthe number missed
may be increased several thousand
more, according to Arthur Thomas,
manager of the chamber bureau of
publicity.
Bpth Mr. Thomas and Mr. Hop
kins now say that Omaha's popula
tion "probably will go over the
200,000 mark." Mr. Thomas points
out, however, that many of the
names of non-recorded people se
cured by the chamber , may be du
plicated on the chamber's list, and
that the total may be smaller when
enumerators have investigated each
name.
