14 Why Does Not Ihe Stomach Digest Itself? An Unsclvable Problem, Which Has Puzzled Physicians of All Schools. A Trial Package of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets Sent Free. There seems to be no logical reason why the stomach should not digest it self when we consider the fact that it secretes digestive fluids and acids which are powerful enough to disinte grate and digest meats, eggs, fruits, cereals, vegetables and other forms of food tnken into it. In nniuials which were killed while in full digestion the stomach has un dergone complete self-digestion after death, when the body was kept warm; and in human beings who have died suddenly, while digestion was going on, it was found at the autopsy that not only had the stomach been digest ed, but also the liver, pancreas, spleen, and. portions of the intestines. The question naturally presents it s«lf: “What protects the stomach from self-digestion during life?’’ Dr. Hunter declared that the “principle of life’’ in living things protected this organ from being digested by its own fluids, but Dr. Barnard successfully demon strated that the hind legs of n living frog, when introduced through a fistula or artifical opening into the stomach of a dog. undergoes complete digestion, and Dr. Povy. through similar experi ment. found that the same was true of a rabbit’s ear. While the normal stomach is immune from self d'gestion, there are many eases on record, however, in which a long-standing gastritis, and perverted digestion, has completely digested or eaten away the mucous membrane lin ing cf the stomach, and in some in stances has engendered gastric ulcer, which ate its way clear through the stomach wall, and caused a fatal peri tonitis. in all. cases of perverted function of the stomach, whi h manifests itself by the numerous well-known -ymptoms of indigestion and dyspepsia. Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets act as a corrective, re storing it to a normal condition, ton ing up the secretory glands, as well in the la 1001 glands, which absorb the fond, and at the same time assisting the stomach iu the process of digestion, and preventing al] possibility of such conditions arising as will cause per verted funcrion. gastrit's, gastric ni cer. or the eating away of the mucous membrane of the stomach. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are ex coding’s- powerful digestives, a single grain being sufficient to digest 3000 grains of food. includ : ng meats, vege tables. cereals, etc. They digest nl bume’ous and starchy foods equally well. Whenever the stomach is in a weakened condition, and so lacking in tone, that It furnishes an insufficient amount of gastric ju’ce, such svmntoms as heartburn, biliousness, headache, belching of gas and sour eructations are sure to appear, and make one feel generally miserable. Such symntoms can. however, be over come and done away with at once. Simply take one of two of Stuart’s Dysponsia Tablets and forget all about your digestive troubles. They do their work promptly and thoroughlv. every part'cle of food being completely di gested, and fermentat’on. decomopsi tion, and flatulence and heaviness in stomach after eating reFeved and cured.

Agent Wanted SUNDAY, THEY WANT A BUREAU OF MINING Mine Workers at Convention Will Take Step to Force Establishment. MORE STRINGENT LAWS Have Recommendations to Of fer for Better Protection of the Miners. United Press. Chicago, 111.. Jan B.—Dunean Mc- Donald, president of the United Mine Workers of Illinois, who is here to take up the work of compiling the evidence against the St. Paul Mining company in the Cherry mine disaster, said tonight that when the convention of United Mine Workers of America convenes in Indianapolis tor a two weeks' session beginning January IS, steps will be taken to force the federal government to establish a bureau of mines and make the mining laws of the various states uniform. He said the mining regulations would be the principal thing taken up at the Indianapolis meeting, and that if neces sary, political action would be taken to defeat the lawmakers who refuse to use their offices in securing the passage of better laws. McDonald declared that sinee the Cherry disaster, the members of both houses are making a great fuss over the establishment of rescue stations and overlooking laws which would protect the workers before they enter the mines. “There is very little use for a rescue station after the men are entombed in the mines or after an explosion or a dis astrous fire.’’ said McDonald, “and for this reason every effort should bo di rected towards the making of laws that will prevent accidents.’’ Theorists of No Use. McDonald is bitter in his denuncia tion of the rescue work at the Cherry mine and says that if there had been a few practical miners on the work in stead of “book-learned theorists,” as he terms the federal mining experts, there would have been at least a dozen ™a-o men taken out of the second vein alive. Some of the things that the miners’ .convention will demand nre: That more practical miners be ap pointed ns mine inspectors; that escape shafts shall not be less than 300 feet from the main shaft; that all shafts be fireproof; that the examination of mon who say they are miners be more rigd and that an einnlover’s liability law land a general work’ngmen’s compensa tion law be enacted. McDonald in discussing the class of men who nre sent down in mines, said: “The miners of today are chosen ns a result of their cheapness, whether they arc f’t for the work or not. and when ever an accident hannens in the mines, come of these greenhorns become pan i"kv and act like women and as a result manv Fves nre lost. “The old time miners nre driv en from the mines bv this cheap class of labor and the loss of life is on the increase. If there had been a few more । experienced miners in the pit at the i time of the Cherry mine f ; re, them '"■onld not ho 210 d°ad bodies down there now. The fwentv-one that were I saved owe th»ir lives tn one old miner 1 who was >n the cronp. ” Not a “Square Deal.” Attorney Seymour Stedman, connsei I for the miners in the Cherry disaster, | produced some of tho figures that show | that the United States is spending mil -1 lions of dollars yearly in research and ! experiments with national resources, while only $150,000 was expended in es tablishing rescue stations for the bene i fit of the minors who added $200,000,- ; 000 to the wealth of the country dur ing tho last fiscal year. “In the last ten years, 1138 miners I have been killed in mine accidents, ” I said Stedman today. “Is it more im> i port ant that tho trees be saved from rot । ting or is it that these terrible aeei i dents be prevented?” i Stedman alleges that the state min i ing laws were violated by the St. Pau! i company. Some of the violations, he charges are: That there was no escape ment shaft in the meaning of the min ing statute; that the men were not told where fire fighting apparatus was lo cated in the pit; that kerosene and cheaper grades of oil were used instead cf animal or vegetable oil, nnd that boys under the legal age, 10 years, were employed. Duncan McDonald, when shown a table giving the loss of life iu Amer ican and European m : nes and which will be presented at the Indianapolis convention, said: “The table will be much larger next year if tho American people do not force congress and the various state legislatures to enact better mining laws.” The loss of life in America is far greater than in most other countries as the fa’ lo w'll zhnw: North Amer ica loss of life per 1000 miners emn'o*’ cd ! n 180". 4.17; Belolnm 1.00; France .91: Great Britain. 1.28; Prussia. 2.00 Work 24 Hours a Day.

Executive of Sicilian- Town Trapped . -W ith Counterfeiters. Milan, Jan. S.—Dramatic incidents arc linked with the arrest of Signor Diego Cutrufelli. mayor of Graniti, near j Taormina, Sicily, as chief confederate >n a big gang of “gentlemen” forgers. For months past the Italian govern ment has tried to track the dissemin ators of an immense number of false bank notes, whereby hundreds of the Sicilian peasantry have Aeen victim ized. Whenever a suspect happened to be taken into custody tho mayor of Gran iti w in! i almost invariably put in first rate testimonials on behalf of tho pris oner. or he would attend the hearing of the charge in ]ierson, and laugh at the “stupidity” of the police, and demand the immediate release of the accused. His worship has played the trick once too often, and the suspicions of the magistrate were aronsed. The g ivern ment, aiding upon secret information, I dispatched a brigadier with a squad of | caraginieri from Palermo, with instruc tions to make a thorough search for the forger*’ don. In order to keep the townsfoik (l ff the real scent, the briga dier availed himself of a local tradi tion, which says that the notorious Si cilian brigand, Castro, who ended a daredevil career by murdering Com mendn'ore Ferrari, a rich lahdowner of Graniti. buried his boooty somewhere in the ueighborhood, before his hasty ' flight Io the United States. The br gadier explained that the car abinieri had a clew, and had come to dig for the hidden treasure. When, Coffee | 1 ■ but a very ■ cheap coffee |as to Cup-price VAy.
