A' &?- Wfiat if a Man Gain the Whole World, and Lose His Appetite? MF3** t2 i: K: The man with a well-behaved stomach never thinks about it. He eats what ?J he likes and likes what he eats. He -5 knows he'll enjoy it, because he knows l-i he haa a stomach that will easily digest it. All things look good to him he will sit close to the table, and with a merry twinkle in his eye and' a world- Seace expression, he will'' start'' on the elieious meal before him. But the man with the bad, brashy, Rurgly stomach is the man who is al ways thinki about it. He can sel dom eat what he most likes, and seldom .,'likes what he eats. His stomach wor ries him before meals, after meals and between meals. It is on his brain. It robs him of his cheer and interferes with his daily work. Around him is a dark spirit which presses itself for ward in his thoughts, crying: I am agony, I am disgust, I am nausea. I am sickness, languor, worry. I am con ceived in quick lunches and pappy food, and nourished by gulpy meals. 1 rob brains of their force and bodies of their life. I steal away nerve and vim. I bring heart disease and apoplexy. I make the world a pit of weariness and darkness. I am woe, I am death. I am dyspepsia. But yet, I bring also hope, light and future health, because by my gloomy presence ,1 give you warning and a chance to escape me. This is a bad dream, but it is the daily dream of the dyspeptic. If it were not for the white we couldn't tell the black. If it were not for dyspep sia, we couldn't know the joy, the hap piness of a well-ordered digestion. All the world looks bright to a man of good health, and good health is impossible without a good, hardy stomach. And any sick or weak stomach can be made a good, strong one by just taking some thing which will digest your food for you, instead of letting your tired stom ach do it. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the most effective little tablets in the world for this very thing. If you feel bloated after eating, or you have nausea, aversion to food, brash, irrita tion, sour stomach, heartburn or dyspep sia, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will Stop it because one grain of an ingredi- __ ent of these tablets will digest 3,000 grains of food. Your stomach is overworked. Let it take a rest. You 're not yourself when you have a bad stomach. These tab lets will do the work'that the stomach has to do and make you feel bright, -think clearly and give you ambition and power to concentrate your attention on your work. You'll feel good. You should always have a box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets on your dining table. They will make you get all the good possible out of everything you eat, and you'll enjoy it. ORGANIZE A GRANGE State Experiment Station Is Home of New Lodge. Mr. Ladd, master of the Massachu setts state grange, assisted Iby Mrs. Ladd and Mrs. Baircl, master of the Minnesota state grange, recently or ganized a new grange at the state ex periment station,. St. Anthony Park. In the eastern states the grange has done and is doing much good in the bettering of the "farmers' condition. To start more granges in the state it was felt that a grange located at a prom inent agricultural point in the. state would be a stimulus to those in less favored localities. ^At the meeting held yesterday the ^following officers were elected: Master, T. L. Haecker overseer, D. D.. Mayne lecturer, J. M. Drew stew ard, L. B. Bassett assistant steward, A- M. Bull lady assistant steward, Miss Foster chaplain, Dr. Reynolds treasurer, Leroy Cady secretary, Dr. C. C. Lipp gatekeeper, D. A. Gau nitz Ceres, Miss Sheppard Romona, Mrs. Boutelle Flora, Mrs. Blair ex ecutive committee, S. B. Green, three years William Boss, two years C. P. Bull, one year. The name for this grange has not yet been,decided upon. A committee was appointed to provide a suitable name, which will be adopted at the next meeting. STEAM IS EXPENSIVE The Northern Manufacturing com pany of St. Paul, which supplies steam for heating purposes, has filed its an nual report with the St. Paul city con troller. According to the report, the gross income for 1905 was $1,818, and the operating expenses $4,887, Showing a loss of $3,069. Nevertheless, the company must pay a gross earnings tax of 5 per cent, which will yield the city $90.93. The company has sold Stock to the amount Of $301,990, and last year supplied iteam to thirty-five persons. AN ALL-STAR OLIO.

PAY IN POSTOFFICE VITAL TO BiiSniiSS GLEBE'S SALABIES MUST BE IN CREASED, SAYS MAJOR HALE. Good Men Quit or Are Kept Away as Result of Government's Meager Al lowance for Important WorkImpor tunities of Postmasters Failing, Bust ness Men Should Demand Improve ment. Business interests are seriously af fected by the inadequate compensation given postal clerks and should, for their own protection, appeal to congress to remedy this evil. The low salaries and uncertain promotion given the men who sort the mail, and are responsible for its quick dispatch and sure delivery, are driving the best men out of the service and keeping some of the best men from entering. This is a serious injury to these business interests, which are largely dependent upon the postal service and they should, according to Major W. D. Hale, postmaster of Min neapolis, take steps to see that the situ ation is improved. "It is unfortunately true that within the last few months many of our older and more experienced clerks have re signed" says Major Hale. "The in i'ury this does to the service is obvious. needs no argument to back up the assertion that the work of experienced land thoroly educated clerks is an abso lute necessity in the current daily busi ness of a postoffice$ust as in any other line of business. For instance, how could Wyman, Partridge & Co., Peavey & Co., Janney, Semple & Co., the city treasurer or the county auditor, safely and correctly transact their business with inexperienced men taking the place of old clerks in a haphazard sort of way? Tby can, just as well-as new men can rapidly and correctly sep arate the tons of letters and papers coming into this office to carriers for delivery in their '(respective districts or can separate, tie out, place in proper bags, and dispatch without grievous er rors, the avalanche of outgoing mail de posited here between 4 and 6 o'clock every evening, addressed to every point in the civilized world. Inexperience Chief Trouble. "Of course old clerks make mistakes brain and eye become weary toward the close of a long day's workbut it is reasonable to expect and safe to say that nine-tenths of the wrong handling of mail and the consequent causes or complaint, inconvenience, delay and losses come from the newly appointed and inexperienced clerks. "The cause of this difficulty is not far to seek. It is a long and weari some task to get into the postal service thru civil service channels, because, af ter successfully passing the examina tion, there is sure to be a long wait before a vacancy occurs to which an applicant may be appointed, and when it does como.it is that of a substitute clerk. As such he has only very un certain opportunity of work when a regular clerk is off duty for any cause nevertheless, he must hold himself in readiness to respond for an hour or a day whenever the occasion calls, and S he is prevented from holding a paying job in any other line where steady duty is required. When permanent appointment comes, it is always at the minimum sal ary or $600 a vear. Promotion above that salary is neither certain nor sure, and herein lies the trouble. The ad vance in salary depends upon congress each year and* the postmaster ^general can only pay the amounts appropri ated. Only Regular Promotions. 'In compensation clerks are certain ly not better paid, if as well, as equal ability is paid for in other lines, but if they were accorded the same consid eration as carriers, a very grave in equality and injustice would be re mo\ed. In an office of this rank car riers are by law paid $600 for their first year of service, $800 for their sec ond and $1,000 for their third and sub sequent years. They know what they are to receive and the promotion never fails to come. By the enactment of this law in fa vor of the carriers,'the government seems to have committed itself to the principle that the service of an efficient employee after two years' education is worth $1,000 a year. But congress has so far failed to extend the principle to the salaries of clerks, despite the iterated and reiterated recommenda tions of postmasters general, assistant postmasters general, and of postmast ers whenever they have had an oppor tunity to express opinions. "'The advance in pay of the clerks in strong contrast thereto,^ depends wholly upon the appropriation'made an nually by congress for the postal ser vice, which has to run the gauntlet with every other department for the support of which appropriations are made annually. This might be well enough if the country had got its growth, but the congress is yet to be elected that can fully grasp the an nual increase in the requirements of the postal service for this great na tion. The rural free delivery service alone, starting with an appropriation of $40,000 for its inauguration in 1897, requires for this year's support $26,- 000,000. It thus happens that there are clerks in this office who are working their second year at $600 there are others who are working their third year on $700 others still who are work ing their fourth year on $800, and no certainty when they will receive fur ther advance. That they should be dissatisfied with such result, compared with the advance of competent men in business houses, mills, factories, ma chine shops, and should be on the look out for other openings, is not surpris- inR Business Will Suffer. "It cannot be otherwise than that the business interests of the city must suffer from this condition of things, and that they do not suffer much more is to the credit of the superintendents, foremen and clerks who stick by their positions and work all the harder to keep things going*. "It must be admitted that the" em ployment, while not the worst,, is far from being the best in point of health fulness. Most clerks must be employed during their tour of duty in handling mail and mail sacks. They live in an atmosphere charged with dust composed of particles abraded from letters, pa pers', bags, sacks and twine, and the worst part of the dust is the impal pable powder of dried ink rubbed from addresses, fine enough to float the atmosphere. "The ventilation in the large rooms cannot be good at any time, but in winter is particularly bad-the treas ury department which controls the building is constantly enforcing econ omy in heat regardless of its quality. I is among clerks almost solely that lung troubles develop and the request I to exchange with carriers for outdoor duty is frequent. "The dissatisfactioH^xisting among Perfection Of the locomotive, the in vention of the automobile, and. the still later conception, the dirigible airship, would seem to have exhausted the field of new and novel means of transporta tion. Yet it has remained for a Minne apolis man, Charles E. S. Burch, 1317 Fifth avenue S, to bring forth a ma chine which in its basic principle, is a decided innovation. Mr. Burch has experimented for years in practical demonstrations of his idea, and has finally constructed a ma chine now resting on the ice of Lake Calhoun, which he believes will revo lutionize means of winter transporta tion in Alaska, which is the goal he has had in view. Mr. Burch calls his invention the "ice locomotive." The machine is propelled by steam engines, but instead of resting on wheels or runners, is built on great steel spirals, four in number^ one underneath each corner of the ma chine, in much the same location as would be the wheels or runners under an ordinary vehicle. These spirals are of opposite pitch, made of steel, and with the edges of the blades somewhat similar to 3kates, in order that they may grip the ice. Four twin engines are connected di rect with these spirals. The spirals may be operated independent -of each other, and by this means unusual con trol may be exercised by the engineer. Mr. Burch believes his machine to be the older men goes far to discourage bright young men from seeking em ployment in the postal service as a permanent occupation. It has of late often happened that those who have received nigh markings in their exam ination and are tendered appointment, having inquired into the conditions, de cline to accept, thus doubly injuring .the personnel of the office force. Business Men Should Act. "It should need no argument to show that reasonable compensation to men who must be above average intelli gence to pass the portal guarded by the civil service commission and who "must be faithful and diligent in the per formance of their daily-round of duties, should not be left to chance or unceiv tainty, nor be kept down to the point where they can draw no other con clusion than that they are forgotten. Booming times like the present:good for everybody else, are hard times for the man of fixed salary. The remedy lies with the body that make the laws. "Congress must be tired of the im portunities of postmastersat least our recommendations have had small effect for some timebut the great business interests of the country that are di rectly and injuriously affected when everything is not up to the best pos sible in the postal service and whose patronage pays a very large share of the postal revenues, have the right to be heard. It would, in my opinion, be entirely proper and effective that their views and wishes be presented by peti tion and resolution to congressmen- of every district in the country. I believe if their attention were brought to this matter long enough to thoroly under stand Jt the. remedy would be applied at once." Ally 4 4 i w. XCHANG Minneapolis Man^ Would Revolutionize ^Traffic in FrozetrNorth^with Invention CHARLES E. S. BlRC AND HIS "ICE LOCOMOTIVE. the most easily'. dirigible ever con structed. It can bo driven forward, backward, sideways, at any angle desired, or even be made to spin around like a top. The model now on Lake Calhoun is 22 feet long, weighs four and one-half tons, has engines of forty-two-horsepower, and steel screws twenty-seven inches in di ameter. The higher the spirals, the greater the ability of the ice locomo tive to go over rough ice and obsta cles. Accordingly, a machine which the inventor is having built in Canada to protect patent rights in that coun try, will have spirals six feet in height. On the Lake Calhoun locomotive, the engines are simply boarded in, making a somewhat unattractive car, with but one window in front, that the* operator may see for steering. The Calhoun machine was construct ed to make an estimated speed of nine miles an hour. On its trial trip it easi ly made eighteen., Obstacles were passed with surprising ease. A tobog gan course of- ice and snow, several feet above the level%of/the lake ice, was struck at full -fijpe'd, climbed and passed with ease,, i The ice locomptive .is steered by means of heavy Sjte'el discs located at each end, and "operated by compressed air. The discs wotk in unison and are weighted in order, better to grip the ice and perform their duty. The bottom of the car of the locomo tive is made watertight, so that event of its breaking thru the ice it be used for fuel. POISONED BY GAS Father and Child Have Narrow cape at Fauly Hotel.

Mr. Burch, the inventor, is heavily interested in mining properties in Alas ka, which are hard to develop because of their inaccessibility. He says that in some parts of Alaska, where in win ter all freight has to be transported by dog teams and sleds over perilous trails, the freight charges run from $100 to $1,000 a ton. It is his plan to use his ice locomotive in place of dog teams, and instead of the light loads which the dogs draw, to have a train of sleds attached to each locomotive and draw at least 100 tons of freight in each train. Mr. Burch believes that not only is there a fortune in his invention, but that it will prove the greatest boon possible to winter commerce in Alaska and will be received with enthusiasm by the thousands in that frozen country who in winter are practically shut out from the civilized world. Ample capital is behind the inventor in pushing his ice locomotive, and he hopes before long to have a company launched for its promotion. The Lake Calhoun ice locomotive is .driven by steam. The Alaska machines will be operated by alcohol boilers, thus avoiding the danger of the boilers ever freezing and reducing the size of the boilers to secure a given horsepower. He plans to have a condenser to con dense the alcohol vapor and use it over and over again. Wood, coal or oil may RAISED STATE CHECK Forgery Committed at Faribault for 80 Cents.
