THE SAN ADVERTISEMENTS. SOUF. STOMACH (ACID DYS- PEPSIA). Now Recognized as the Cause of Seri- ous Diseases. Acid Dyspepsia, commonly called heart- burn or sour stomach, is a form of indi- gestion resulting from fermentation of the | food. The siomach being too weak to! promptly digest it, the food remains until | fermentation begins, filling the stomach with gas, and a bitter, sour, burning taste in the mouth is often present. This con- dition soon becomes chronic and being an | every day occurrence is given but little | attention. Because Dyspepsia is not im mediately fatal many people do nothing for the trouble. ! It is now well known among able physi- cians that the whole constitution is grad- ually undermined and weakened, that the nerves and vital organs are seriously af- fected by any form of dyspepsia. This is plain, as every organ, every merve in the body is mourished by the blood and the blood is replenished from the food digest- ed. If the food is properly digested the blood is pure, the merves steady, but if supplied from a sour, fermenting, decay- ing mass the blood is vitiated, poisoned, and the result is shown in sleeplessness, lack of energy, poor appetite, nervous- ness. Every trifie is magnified and the dyspeptic sees nothing but the dark side of evervthing. Within & recent period a remedy has been discovered prepared solely to cure dyspepsia and stomach troubles. It is known as Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets and it is now becoming rapidly used and pre- scribed as a radical cure for every form of dyspepsia. It is not claimed to cure anything ex- | cept dyspepsia and stomach weakness in its verious forms, but for this it has been | shown to be unequaled. The eminent spe- d and O'Leary, have recently hey considered Stuart’s Dys- Tablets an unfailing specific for | of the digestive organs, and the | kable cures mace in cases of long | standing dyspepsia proves that this rem- edy has extraordinary merit. tuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets have been ced before the public and are sold by druggists everywhere at 50 cents per | ge. and while it promptly and ef- | ally restores a vigorous digestion, at the same time is perfectly harmless and | will not injure the most delicate stomach, | but, on the contrary, by giving perfect | digestion strengthens the stomach, im- | proves the appetite and makes life worth | iiving. | | L3 plac _—— OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST | Several New Postmasters Are Ap- pointed and a Number of | Pensions Granted.

[ i T noon yesterday the Sflvertown had accomplished more than one- half of her long journey to the Hawallan Islands. During the twenty-four hours preceding the sending of the message she had advanced 189 nautical miles. From private tele- ams the officials of the Postal Tele- graph Company learn that the machinery is all in good working order and that everything is running smoothly. The Sil- vertown left one week ago to-day and ac- cerding to the schedule prepared for Mr. Mackay will arrive at her journey’'s end some time next Thursday. The length of the trip as given by the company’s of- ficlals is approximately 2100 nautical miles. The Silvertown is proceeding so rapidly that it would not be surprising if a greet- ing from Governor Dole of Hawaii to President Roosevelt was sent over the cable from Honolulu on Christmas ‘day. The Chambers of Commerce of this eity and Honolulu are planning celebrations in hcnor of the completion of the cable. President George A.

Some remarkable experiments to show the comparative digestibility of different foods have recently been conducted by Professor Pawlow upon dogs. These ex- {z‘erlments are described by Dr. Romme in a Revue for August.: The gullets of the animal was cut in sections and fixed to the deck, so that wheh it ate the food merely fell to the ground, and the stomach was divided into two parts, one where no food was allowed to penetrate, the other into which was p;llt the food necessary to keep the dog alive. The results of the experiments proved that the mere offering to the dog of food which he liked caused an abundant secre- tion of gastric juice, although of course nothing had entered the stomach. If he were given a dainty—not merely food which he liked—the flow of gastric juice was much more abundant—that is, food taken without appetite will fall into a stomach without any gastric juice ready for it. The work of digestion was for- merly. supposed to go on all right if only you can get the food to the stomach. The Pawlow experiments show that it is either ot digested at all or very badly digested. Again, the brain transmits {its orders to the stomagh by means of two pneumo- gastric nerves. Professor Pawlow cut these nerves on a speclally ‘“prepared’” dog: Then he gave the dog some raw meat, which again, of course, did not reach the stomach, but no drop of gas- tric juice was secreted. No method of mechanical excitement produced any juice. And if, unknown to the dog, with- out arousing in him the idea of food, bread or cooked white of egg were intro- duced into-the stomach they remained hours without causing the least secretion of gastric juice. But after administering extract of meat or milk first the secre- tion was provoked.—Boston Budget.

Among the most notable of recent events has been the establishment of a new agricultural school for Jewish boys, “Czenstoniew,” near Grojec, in the gov- ernment of Warsaw, Russian Poland. A beautifully lald out model estate has been bought and a splendid comfortable build- ing erected, containing school rooms, liv- ing accommodationsssynagogues, etc. A number of prominent Warsaw Jews made successful efforts to collect 60,000 roubles toward the building fund, while the Jew- ish Colonization Assoclation voted 40,000 roubles for the purpose of purchasing the land (about 600 hectares). In addition the ‘Warsaw committee has obtained from the Jewish Colonization Association a grant of an annual subsidy toward the mainte- nance of the new institution. The aim of the founders of the school is the encouragement of agriculture among the Jews in Poland. The question of agriculture for Jews is perpetually growing more urgent. The physical wel- fare of our race, which is in danger of deterjoration and which cannot withstand the destructive influences of overcrowded ghettos, creates Jewish population to take to _rural life. The new enterprise is cal- culated also to diminish the terribly in- creasing number of the unemployed. We reject the argument that Jews are abso- lutely unfitted for agriculture. In recent ears there have come under our notice n several Polish villages a number of Jewish wheelwrights, shoemakers, car- penters, smiths, woodmen and others who combined with their special callings the tillage of a few acres of land and the keeping of cows and poultry. These men have developed an aptitude for agricul- tural pursuits. There is now also a strong and general desire among poor Jews to settle in the country. The most original feature of our new enterprise is its educational character. In Poland the effort in this direction is made for the first time. To forty boys—we be- gin with forty, but are already arranging for 150—will be given the foundation of a soupd rural education. A great feature is to be made of practical work. Tt is impossible to reproduce artificially in the school room the actual conditions of farming life. But just in the same\way as = soldier needs a certain amount of training before going on active service, so the embryo agriculturist must needs Zo through a preliminary course before entering practical life. This training “Czenstoniew’’ will give to Jewiwh boys. The future will decide the value of the experiment.—London Jewish Chronicle, ———————— «“That’s the Way the Money Goes.” It took the members of the House of Representatives just ten = minutes to pass the pension appropriation bill, carrying the tremendous sum of $139,.- 847,000, It is barely possible-that 1f ten hours instead of ten minutes had ‘been given to its consideration, the result might have ,bankrupted the Treasury of! the United States. oMY EMPLOYERS | MUST ORGANIZE Alarmist Circular Sent Out to the Manu- | facturers. INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 20.—“It is time to organize,” is the keynote of four cir- | culars that are being sent to manufactur- | ers throughout the country by D. M. Parry of Indianapolis, president of the National Association of Manufacturers. He has found his text in various resolu- tions of the recent American Federation | of Labor convention at New Orleans. The circulars are directed more against organized labor in general than against the eight-hour bill, which Parry has at- tacked in circulars recently. Referring to the Max Hayes resolution adopted by the federation, Parry says: “John Mitchell’s United Mine Workers' | organization cast 1080 votes solidly for | this resolution. This is the organization | that evoked so much maudlin sentiment and brought the whole country to its knees in the anthracite strike “It is confidently prophesied that the Socialists will be in full control of the triwle unionist movement in the United | States by the next American Federation | of Labor convention.” | The charge is made that the Hayes res- olution means an attack on the productive | wealth of the country and that the So- cialists intend to take possession of all the money and private properties. BIBLICAL TREASURES FOUND IN DAMASCUS In Dome of Old Mosque Which Had Been Shut for Cen- turies. There is an old tradition that the so- called treasure dome of the Jami el Kebir Mosque in Damascus contained a number of valuable manuscripts relating chiefly to early Christian times. After years of persuasion, says a Vienna correspondent of the Paris Messenger, the Sultan was induced to allow the opening of the dome, which had remained closed and carefully guarded for centuries, experts having as- sured him that there were no documents in the collection affecting the Moham- medan religion. The manuscripts discov- ered in the dome were sent to Constani- nople, where it was found that they in- cluded a number of fragments of the Old —— NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. FAKE HAIR PREPARATIONS Do Hair No Good, but Often Cause It to Fall Out. Many hair preparations are “fake” be- cause they are merely scalp irritants. They often cause a dryness, making the hair brittle, and finally lifeless. Dandruff is the cause of all trouble with hair. It is a germ disease. The germ makes cu- tigle scales as it digs to the root of the hair, where it destroys the halr's vitality, causing_ the hair to fall out. To cure dandruff the germ must be killed. “De- stroy the cause, you remove the effect.” Newbro's Herpicide is the only hair prep- aration that kills the dandruff germ, thereby leaving the hair to grow luxu- riantly.

There were also frags ments of the Pentateuch in the Samaritan language, a transiation of Psalm xxviil In Arabic, but written In Greek char- acters, dating from the elventh century. It is now reportéd from Constaninople that the manuscripts have been handed over by the Turkish Forelgn Ministry to Baron Marschall, the German Embassa- dor, by order of the Sultan, for a more thorough scrutiny in Berlin.—Chicago Record-Herald.
