Th ladlgMtioß Of
Grewiag ChMm
Waak. Sickly and RmaeUted Boy* and
Giri* Uanally Victim* of Chronic
Dyipopaia.
During the developmental, or grow
Ing period of life, the *tomaeh I* under
greater strain than in unv other epoch,
for the reason that bodily growth i*
rapid in children, and the ayatem re
quires a considerable amount of mate
rial to construct new tiwue—a much
Itre»ier amount than after full growth
haa been attained.
In the adult, nil that is required it
a sufficient quantity of food to rebuild
the worn-out old tiMues, but in chil
dren an extra amount of *ell-dig**tcd,
nutrition* food i* necessary to build
up atrong meade. bone, cartilage, teeth,
nerve, IJood and brain.
Well-fed children with atroag dige*-
invariably grow to be large, pow
erful, healthy men and women, with
*«nnd minds and sound bodies; while
children who are sickly, nervous, peev
ish, irritable and continually "tired
out,” are nearly always victim* of in
digestion, and never attain their full
growth, or at average amount of
strength, unless the stomach weakness
is cored before reaching adult life.
During the adolescent, or formative
period of life, parents should make
every effort to build up their children,
so that good health, a strong constitu
tion, and an abundance of vim, vigor,
vitality and energy may be an inher
itance in later year*. Too oftea the
mistake ia made of attempting to build
up the bodies of weak, sickly children
by dosing them with nerve and blood
tonica, or the emulsion of eod liver gil,
which tend to upset the stomach and
thus make matters worse.
STUART'B DYSPEPSIA TABLETS
will build up and strengthen weak, sick
ly, under-developed and slow-growing
childmn by digesting their food thor
oughly and assisting in its absorption
and assimilation. They digest food of
every kind very completely, including
tho vitalizing albumen of eggs, the fibrin
of meats, the casein of milk and cheese,
and tho carbohydrates of bread, rice,
potatoes, etc., so that the system is sup
plied with all the material which is es
sential to construct large bone, heavy ।
muscle, strong nerves, a well developed ,
brain, rich, red blood, and plenty of 1
sound, healthy flesh, producing broad
shoulders and a goodly height and gen-1
eral development.
If you desire to have your children
grow up big, strong, healthy and power-1
fill in mind and body, see that their
digestion is kept strong and efficient,
and if found weak, give them Stuart’s
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal, in
ordert that they may get the full bebe- •
fit of the food they eat, and you will I
be rewarded by seeing them attain a i
far better than average development,
•nd, besides, you may be saved many a I
doctor’s bill.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are fori
sale by all druggists, price fifty cents.
A free sample will be sent you if your
name and address is forwarded to the

FRIDAY,
ARE AUSTIN
OFFICIALS
ILLEGAL?
Violation of Forgotten Piovis
ion of Charter Seems to De
clare City Offices Vacant.
IS ALL-ABSORBING TOPIC
Mayor; Commissioners and the
Heads of Departments'May
Be Holding Office Illegally.
•r«rial Diapstck.
Austin, Tex.. Dee. 31.—Through the
unwitting violation of a forgotten pro
vision of the city charter there is a
possibility that every city official in
Austin, including tne mayor, commis
sioners and head* of the various depart
ments, is occupying hi* office illegally.
The question is raised by tho Business
League and ia the all-absorbing one in
Austin officialdom.
A provision in the charter prohibits
any city official* receiving from any
publie service, eor|>oratioii or company,
service for a rate lower than the one
the general publie is required to pay.
The provision further states that a vio
lation of thia section will make the of
fice of the violator, ipso fncto vacant.
When the Southwestern Telephone
company was granted its franchise it
offered to supply a telephone in the
city offices free of charge and to grant
a reduction of 23 per cent on any phones
which the council might authorize. Re
cently this offer in the franchise was
brought to light and Alderman John
son introduced n resolution that tele
phones in the residences of city offi
cials be paid for according to this pro
vision of the franchise and the resolu
tion was passed.
By this action the council and city
officials laid themselves liable to the
provision of the city charter which de
clares their offices vacant for violation
of the section mentioned above.
No official action has been taken on
tho matter, but the discussion is heated
and legal lights are puzzling over the
quesiions involved.

ELEVATOR BOY FALLS
4 STORIES TO DEATH
Harry Baker, 19 years old, employed
’ ns elevator boy at the St. James hotel,
fell through the elevator shaft from
the fourth story last night at 10:30
o’clock, sustaining injuries from which
lie died a few minutes later.
Practically on tho eve of New Year's
and with a postcard in his pocket con
veying the greetings of the season to
bis mother, Mrs. G. A. Baker, Magno
| lia. Ark., he stepped through the eleva
। tor door to drop to his death 60 feet
; below.
The youth had just carried a pitcher
' of ice water to Mrs. M. M. Forrin, pro-
J prietress of the St. Janies. Returning
J to the elevator he failed to notice that
' the lift, by some means, had risen from
its level with the floor, leaving a space
into which he stepped directly into the
| shaft.
L. S. Milleson, fireman at the hotel,
was standing at the water cooler when
ho saw the body shoot downward and
heard the thud at the bottom. With
I E. G. Larson, a guest, and H. Zum-
I wait, night clerk, he rushed to thq hot
■ tom of the elevator shaft to find that
Baker was still breathing but so man
gled that his death was but a matter
of minutes. They carried the limp body
to a room on the first floor, where it
was deposited on the bed. Death came
a few minutes later.
Baker had been employed as eleva
tor boy at the St. James for about
three months. A letter found on tho |
body and addressed to him by his fath
er. D. P. Baker, from Magnolia, Ark., |
gave the residence place of his par- I
outs. His New Year postal to his moth |
er made certain that his parents were i
in the Arkansas town.
The body was taken to the Zizik on (
dertaking parlors. A sister is making I
the arrangements for the funeral.
