league of Texas.
Furthermore, Mr. Strong said that
the “pros” intended to map out their
platform and program at a meeting to
be held in Dallas Saturday. The merits
of the candidates, it is understood, will
lie weighed at this conference and one
selected on which to center the votes.
“We propose to make the campaign
on the platform of statewide submis
sion,” said the leader of the anti-sa
loon forces. “During the past year
we have gained victory in seven coun
ties and twenty precincts, and our pol
icy will be to fight in the strongholds
of the saloons. We believ that the last
legislature made the mistake of their
lives in not submitting the question
of prohibition to the people, and we
are confident that our forces are strong
enough this year to secure the desired
ends. ”
Mr. Strong was here to attend the
anti-saloon rally. He appeared enthus
ed over the results and said that his
party was well satisfied with the way
things were moving.
ONLY 344 MORE GIRLS
THAN BOYS IN SCHODLS
An increase of 111 pupils during the
past month is the record in the San An
tonio public schools, and Superintend
ent Lukin prediets that by the end of
the present term the enrollment will al
most equal that at the close of school
last year.
The enrollment for November is re
ported as 11,775, and that for Decem
ber as llAMfi. Tho boys number 5771
and the girls 6115. Out of nearly 12,-
600 pupils in the public schools there
are only 344 more girls than boys,
which is taken as an indication of the
appeal ’he public schools are making
to the boys of the city to stav in

Why Does Not
The Stomach
Digest Itself?
An Unsolvable 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 tho stomach should not digest it
sclf 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 taken into it.
In animals 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
net only had the stomach been digest
ed, but also the liver, pancreas, spleen,
and portions of the intestines.
The question naturally presents it
self: “What protects the stomach from
self-digestion during lifef” 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 a living
frog, when introduced through a fistula
or artifical opening into the stomach
of a dog. undergoes complete digestion,
and Dr. Pavy, through similar experi
ment. found that the same was true of
a ra’tbit's ear.
While the normal stomach is immune
from self-digestion, there are many
cases on record, however, in which a
long standing gastritis, and perverted
digestion, has completely digested or
eaten away the mueous membrane lin
ing of the stomach, and in some in
stances has engendered gastric nicer,
which ate its way clear through the
stomach wall, and caused a fatal peri
tonitis.
In all cases of perverted function of
the stomach, which manifests itself by
tho numerous well-known symptoms of
indigestion and dyspepsia, Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets net as a corrective, re
storing it to a normal condition, ton
ing up the secretory glands, as well
n« the lacteal glands, which absorb tho
food, and at the same time assisting
the stomach in the process of digestion,
and preventing all possibility of such
conditions arising as will cause per
verted function, gastritis, gastric ul
cer. or the eating away of the mucous
membrane of the stomach.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are ex
ceedingly powerful digestives, a single
grnin being sufficient to digest 3000
grains of food, including meats, vege
tables, cereals, etc. They digest al
bnmenous and starchy foods equally
well. Whenever the stomach is in n
weakened condition, and so lacking in
tone, that it furnishes an insufficient
amount of gastric juice, such symptoms
as heartburn, biliousness, headache,
belching of gas and sour eructations
are sure to appear, and make one feel
generally miserable.
Such symptoms can. however, be over-
come and done away with nt once.
Simply take one of two of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and forget all about
your digestive troubles. They do their
work promptly and thoroughlv. every
particle of food being completely di
gested. and fermentation, decomopsi
tion. and flatulence and heaviness in
stenmeh after eating relieved and
cured. Purchase n box f*oin your
