Don't Blame
Your Stomach
When Without Exertion or Cost You
Can Enjoy Meals and Cure
Dyspepsia.
Don't blame your stomach or your luck
when your meals declare war on your
system.
When the stomach won't do Its work It
Is because It cannot.
When foul smelling odors come from
your stomach, when the head aches and
the sourness of mouth every morning
makes you hate your breakfast, when
dreams and nightmare assail you, don't
give up the fight.
This is the appeal of nature, and it
should be heard.
Over-eating, late suppers, poorly chewed
food, too rich pastries and under-done
cooking are some of the causes of the
stomach's ill health.
When the stomach is busy, it presses
and churns all the liquid matter from
food and with its juices dissolves int*
liquid form or pulp everything which
comes into it.
If such food be poisonous if affects the
Juices, attacks the stomach, goes into the
blood and weakens the entire system.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
a full meal easily without material as-
sistance from the stomach. They will re-
stock the gastric fluid with all the ele-
ments needed They build up the blood,
destroy sour taste, bad breath, belching,
stomach and bowel trouble and quickly
restore natural conditions.
One grain of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab-
lets will digest 3000 grains of food in
the stomach or in a glass vial without
aid of the human digestive apparatus.
The methods of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab-
lets are the methods of Nature.
They contain every requisite for the
stomach and digestion. After a meal one
of these little tablets when it enters the
stomach mingles with the juices, attacks
the food and digests it. It removes the
fermented and decayed mass lying stag-
r.ant there and eases the stomach at once.
It is wholly a question for you to solve.
Your druggist will furnish Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets 50c the box. or send us
your name and address and we will send
you a trial package free. Address F. A.
fituart Co., 150 Stuart Bldg., Marshall,

THE REILY-TAYLOR CO..
New Orleans, U. S. A.
ST. LOUIS, Mo., April S.~-The tempo-
rary indisposition of the Standard Oil
lawyer, Morltz Rosenthal of Chicago, in-
terfered slightly with the program of the
defense this afternoon in the presenta-
tion of the reply to the (Jovernment's
suit to dissolve the Standard Oil Com-
pany of New Jersey for alleged violations
of the Sherman anti-trust act when the
case was restuned before the four judges
of the Circuit Court of the United States
for this district. Notwithstanding Judge
Mllburii, counsel for the defense, con-
eluded his argument begun on Tuesday,
Mr. Rosenthal's indisposition, although
only a slight attack of neuralgia, was of
sufficient severity to keep him out of
tin? court room today. He will make his
argument tomorrow at the conclusion of
Mr. Watson's address.
Principles Not Identical.
Lawyer Watson represented the Gov-
ernment In the Northern Securities case
and is credited with having won that
suit. In his interpretation of the de-
cision iu that now oft-quoted authority,
Mr. Watson insisted that in the present
case and in that suit two separate and
distinct principles of law were involved,
annd that under no stretch of the imagi-
nation could they be identical.
His argument was that the only point
the court could consider was whether the
Standard Oil was acting In restraint of
commerce, engaging in unfair competi-
tion, or doing any of the many other
divers things alleged on the 15th day of
November, 1906, the day on which the
petition in the present case was filed
Touching on the history of the Standard
in the past. Mr. Watson claimed that Mr
Rockefeller and his associates had the
right as citizens to combine, as they did
under the 1SS2 agreement, a right denied
by the two competing roads in the North-
ern Securities case.
That Mysterious $22,000,000.
"We ought to have been in the fashion-
able set and increased our capitalization
from its Insignificant J37,OOrt,flOO to a bil-
lion," declared Judge Milhurn today, who
resumed his argument when the court
met. "If we had but made our capital
one billion, as we might probably have
done, and declared a 4 per cent dividend,
there would have been no complaint
against us." Mr. ...ilburn said that the
Government insisted upon basing Its es-
timates of profit on the defendant's cap-
italization, and not the book or actual
asset s.
Something reminded Mr. Milhurn of the
alleged missing 122,000,000 "Trainer loan."
told by .„r. Kellogg, who asserted that,
he could not trace it. John D. Archbold
testified in New York that he presumed
that it was a mere mattinr of bookkeep-
ing transfer In explaining the entry.
With all of his even feminine persistence,
Mi-. Kellogg could not locate the exact
man who knew of that transaction, said
Mr. Milhurn. "Even if a man is only a
farmer, he will have separate accounts
and many seemingly mixed transactions,
especially if he is a gentleman farmer.
When this case is completed I will tell
Mr. Kellogg just what became of that
J22,OOO.OOn."
"Tell it to the court," interrupted Mr.
Kellogg
"I will when the case. Is closed," was
the response.
"It was not used for counsel fees?"
suggested the asthetic appearing Judge
Hook, whose humor had hitherto been
concealed. The other ludges smiled
grimly.
"No, the sum was too large even for
lawyers," said Mr. Milhurn.
"Although he did not just say so, my
friend here, Mr. Kellogg intimates that
our very size constitutes a monopoly,"
continued Mr. Milhurn "He evidently
agrees with the peerless leader of mv
mortbund party that a profit of 50 per
cent Indicates a monopoly," added Mr.
Milhurn, who as a Democrat, was once a
follower of W. J. Bryan.

to Crakow. Poland, tho early home of
Mme. Modjeska, and there It will be

funeral services have yet beon made.
Count Rozonta, husband of Mme. Mod-
jeska, talked before her death of the rea-
sons for the coming: of himself and wife,
with others, from Poland, in 1S7H. Re-
cause of his political writings he was ex-
iled from Poland and Mme. Modjeska was
by imperial ukase debarred from the
Polish stage.
Following the publication of a paper
read by Mme. Modjeska at the World's
Fair In Chicago, which had to do with
Uussian-l'ollsh politics and the former
ukase of the Czar, an order was is-
sued barring Modjeska from,Kussian pos-
sessions. It Is believed by Count Bozenta,
however, that there will he no hindrance
to his mission to hury th« body of ih©
famous artress in Poland.
RUSSIA WILL NOT OBJECT.
Only Refusal Would Be Should a Dis-
turbance Arise.
WASHINGTON, April 8.—The decision
lo take Mme. Modjeska's body bark to
Poland for Interment gave rise to the
question as to whether the Russian gov-
ernment would permit this, in view of
the debarment of the actress from her
native land and the fact that the obse-
quies might exoite an anti-Kussiaji dem-
onstration.
At the Russian embassy here it wag
said today no objection would be made
by the Russian governiiient to the inter-
men of the body of Mme. Modjeska at.
Cracow. It would, however, be necessary
to obtain the usual permission t» allow
a body to enter the country. Hut if there
were indications that the occasion would
cause a disturbance it would bo pro-
hibited.
CAN SEE NO OBJECTION.
Poles Do Not Think Government Will
Object to Interment.
CHICAGO, 111., April 8.~At the head-
quarters of the Polish National Alliance
here it was said that no diplomatic ob-
jections to receiving the body of Mme.
Modjeska was anticipated. Cracow is in
Austrian Poland and. although the
actress' native city is the center of Polish
nationalism, the dual monarchy Is said lo
govern the province leniently.
Jt is believed the Poles of Cracow
would not, mingle politics with a dem-
onstration of mourning.

work by hard, old-fashioned methods. For clean-
ing everything and anything about the house—
