"I hopo to see this bill. the. one I

Again reverting to the president*

he said, addressing the Republicans.
"with the exception of a little, insig

"The president." he continued, "has

The Wrong Way
Many Physicians Try to Cure Dyspepsia
by Having; Their Patients Starve
Out tbe Disease
This Method May Ruin the Stomach
To become a physician one must study
HK'dicaJ literature for a long time and
attend several years at a medical col
lege, dissect at least one human body,
pass many quizzes and examinations,
*md at last receive his diploma, which
entitles him to the M. D. degree.
Yet all this does not necessarily make
ii doctor.
We have known many graduates, with
their sheepskins, -aho could not apply
the knowledge they had acquired to re
lieving and curing v. patient of dys-
pepsla.
They were floored by their first at
tempt to cure such a patient.
They were not to blame for this, for
all the knowledge they acquired from
medical work! was wholly experi
mental. They were told to try the fol
lowing:
Aromatic Ammonia,
Bicarbonate of Soda.
Blcarlior.atr of Potass.
Blue Mass.
Camphor Water.
Catechu.
Charcoal.
Creosote.
Hot Water.
Lime Water.
Magnesia.
Mineral Waters.
Nitric Acid.
Nttro-Muriatic Acid.
Nux Vomlca.
Oil of Amber.
Oil of Cajuput.
Rhubarb.
Eenna.
Spirits of Lavender.
Bt»vvatlon.
Strychnia-
Sulphur.
Sulphite of Lime.
Tincture Cai'damon.
Taraxacum.
Tincture Ginger.
Tincture of Iron.
Tonics.
Vegetable Bitten*.
In the list hot water Is the only
remedy that will not do more harm,
than good, and Its use is still an un-
KOlved problem.
If the professor who coaches the
graduate would hand him a package of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and tell him
that it was a specific for dyspepsia, In
digestion, .ill stomach ailments, and
should be his mainstay in such eases,
that one grain of their active prfnetple
•would digest 3009 grains of food in th«
stomach, and that sided by this remedy
the stomach would booh regain Its nor
mal condition, he would do the student
more good than Hemlin^r him forth with
a lot of uncertain knowledge about the
cur« of these diseased conditions.
The young doctor would gain a repu
tation "by curing his first case of dys-
1 KspsU.
' Tho patient cured would sound his
praises far and near, as do thousands
upon thousands who pratao Stuart's
Oy«pep«a Tablets.
Instead of experimenting: with the
moss of medicine in the above list, and
doing his , patients more harm than
good, he would always be gaining repu
tation by always curing his patient.
■ When he met any indication of a dis
eased organ, be should discover what
hundreds of other doctors have, that
the whole trouble started with imper
fect I digestion and assimilation, then
take out of hi» pocket medicine case a
few of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and
til! the patient how to use them.
> The' result would be considered by
the patient almost miraculous, and sue- '
' cess after success would be achieved
by him. 1 ' ■
Many 1 blood, diseases, skin eruptions
arid heart ■ troubles yield readily . to
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because
they cure the incubating cause—
pepsia. , It tin- stomach is wrong, you
are wrong all over.

CONGRESS MAY ABOLISH
>t BRANCH PENSION AGENCIES
■ - — :■ .■ •;•;•
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. Feb. The house
committee on appropriations today re
ported favorably the pension bill for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1809.
The bill as reported abolishes th
pension agencies located at Augusta
Me., Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Colum
bus, Ohio, Concord, N. H., L>es Moines,
Detroit. Indianapolis, Knoxvllle, Pitts
burg, San Francisco and Topeka, and'
consolidates them in one central dis
tributing agency at Washington.
The bill reported carries a total pen
sion appropriation of $150,869,000, which
is $174,000 less than the aggregate esti
mates—the exact sums available'by the
constitution of the agencies.
The radical change in the pension
agency system was decided upon by the
Appropriations committee in accord
with the recommendations of the secre
tary of the interior, and Commissioner
of Pensions Warner, after exhaustive
consideration in subcommittee.
The secretary of the interior told the
committee that under this centraliza
tion of the eighteen pension agencies in
cne central agency $200,000 would be
wived to the government in expenses
in the first year of operation, and $225.
--000 annually thereafter; and that under
the new system all pensioners could be
paid as promptly as they are now paid
by the eighteen agencies, and without
inconvenience.
Th© immediate saving will be $68,000
in salaries of pension agents; $4500 In
the rent of the New York office, $1800
in clerk hire and $1500 In cost of exami
nation and inspection of agencies.
■ There was paid 967,371 pensioners in
the last fiscal year, the total sum of
5138,030,894, and the. total pensions paid
for all wars and for the regular estab
lishment since the foundation of the re
public was $3,598,015,732.
"Although the number of clerks In
the pension bureau was 150 less In the
fiscal year 1907 than In the previous
jtar. the applications for pensions filed
in the fiscal year 1907 were 440,617, as
against 201,322 the previous year," says
the report.
"There Is now living," says the re
port, "no soldier or sailor's widow of
the revolutionary war, and there Is no
pensioned soldier living of the war of
1812, but at the end of the last fiscal
year there were on the roil 558 widows
of soldiers : that war."

Final Arguments in Trial of John
Hall—Bristol Denies He Had
a Conference with
Heney
By AMoetateo Press.
PORTLAND, Feb. Final argu
ments In the John H. Hall conspiracy
case will begin tomorrow morning.
During the afternoon Francis J. Heney
announced that the government rested
Its case, and an hour later Judge Web
ster closed the case for the. defense.
Heney will make tho opening address
to the jury tomorrow morning and will
probably speak for three hours. He
Will be followed by Judge Webster,
who will not conclude until late tomor
row or Thursday morning.
After that Heney will finish his ad
dress. Judge Hunt will give his In
structions and the case will go to the
jury probably early Thursday after
noon.
T. B. Neuhausen, special inspector to
the interior department, testified that
he saw Hendrlcks and Bristol hold a
conference in the United States district
attorney's office in tho federal building
on the night of August 10, 1906, the
night the Brlstol-Heney telegram was
Bent.
When th» government had rested its
case Judge Webster recalled Bristol,
who testified substantially to the same
fue.ts he did on his first examination.
He again denied positively and em
phatically ever having talked with
Heney. when the latter mode an over
ture for Immunity from the govern
ment.
Brl«tol reiterated that he held only
one conversation with Hendrlcks ami
that was on the night of his conviction
la«t August -when Hendrlcks com
plained of his conviction.
On cross examination tho witness be
came confused as to tho date of Hon
rtrtcliK' return from San Francisco in
August, 1906. Bristol testified that ha
was reasonably certain that Heney re
turned to Portland on a belated over
land train reaching Portland about
noon Monday, August 13, of that year,
when In fact' Henry did not arrive until
the day following:.
On direct examination Bristol had
also testified that tho verdict in the
Hendricks case was returned about
midnight, when the records showed that
the Jury reported Its flndlngH to the
rnurt at S:SO o'clock In the evening. Be
cause of these Inaccuracies as to time In
the testimony of the witness, Heney as
serted that ia waa barely possible that
Hrletol might have been mistaken as to
hlB conversations with Hendricks and
also the sending of the telegram to
Heney In San Francisco.
Following Bristol the defense closed
Its case by calling R. L. Durham, a
member of the pfand jury which met In
March. 19CK, and Sylvester Farrell. fore
man of the grand Jury of October. 1902.
Mr. Durham was called for the purpose
of impeaching tlic testimony of J. W.
Heideck, who ha 4 testified for the gov
ernment that Special Agent Loomis do
liberately neglected to make a c.aroful
examination of the Puter claims. Mr.
Farrell testified that Hall appeared be
fore the *rand jury and advised it on
the Thayer land frauds cases only when
he had been requested to give somo In
formation on a question of law.
During the afternoon the testimony
cf ex-Assistant District Attorney Ed
ward Mays was further discredited by
that of Captain J. S. Slayden.
