DECLARE THEY LOSE VOTES League Doe Harm to General Cans, Sbjs Leader, and With Iocal Opttnn Set Back Prog ress of the Main Tarty. CHICAGO. Jn. i.-In a New Tear's study of the party outlook, the Prohi bitionists have locked horn with the Anti-Saloon yi(u. by declaring that local option laws are a "farce." that they are nothing but temporary expedi ents. wHh little or no ral gain to tlie temperance cause, and that wherever they have been passed they have cut down the vote on the Prohibition ticket: The survey of the situation issued from the National headquarters, wss written by Michael J. Flnnigan, of Philadelphia. In analysing the returns of the recent elec tion that give- point to the paradoxical assertions recently made by Eugene W. Chafln that the smaller the vote the partv i Killed In m. the greater would be Its vote In 1911 Local Option Fails. The writer points out that In states that parsed local option laws, the Chafln vote fell off. while in those that turned down the bills of the Anti-Saloon League Chafln got more votes than Swallow did In In part It reads: "It Is almost Invariably true that all the achievements of which the Inter partisan temperance workers boast were made possible by the increase of our natty vote. The converse ts also true. When the Prohibitionist vote falls off the oolitician pay little heed to the Inter. partisan organisations, and do not hesi tate to turn thorn down, wtiich. helps to Increase the Prohibitionist vote. Harms Big Movement. "County option, wherever passed, has proved harmful to the Prohibition party and will do so until the honest men who support It lesrn what a farce It really is In Its operations. "If the whole country showed a propor tionate loss In he Prohibition party vote to that shown In Ohio. Indiana. Illinois, Kentucky and Oregon, the states In whirh county option laws hsve been passed since the campaign of 1904. 1r. 1'ha.fin would have polled but 20. 1 votes, the smallest vote but one polled by any of our candidates for President since 1S4. "On the othT hand. If the whole coun try showed a proportionate gain In the Prohibition party vote as shown by the stales where county option was turned down. Mr. Chafln would have polled 31.!o votes, or J3.47S more votes than the high est vote ever reported for Prohibitionist." INDIANA GROWIXC intv Local Option People Kxpcct Big Gains In tte During. Year. INDIAN A FOI.,13. lnd.. Jan. 1 pe dal.) The temperance forces In Indiana ar greatly encouraged by the results In the counties where votes have been taken under the county local option luw, and the leaders ars predicting that two thlrds of the counties in the state will vote "dry" within the next few months. In many of them petitions are now cir culating asking that elections be held and the electors, without distinction of party, are freely signing them. As the question of repeal of the county local option law and the substitution of a ward and township local option law. as nrnmtsed In the Democratic state plat form, is to be made prominent In the ( session of the Legislature, the temper ance people believe that early elections will havwa potent effect In deterring any unfavorable action In the law. The Re publicans are asking that the present law be given a trial before the people, and say that If It prove Ineffective, they are willing to repeal It and try some other plan.

Don't blame your stomach or your luck when your meals declare war on jour system. When the stomach won't do Its work it is because It cannot. When foul smelling odors coma from your stomach, when the head aches and the aourneaa of mouth every morning makes you hate your break fast, when dreams and nightmare as tail you. don't give up the fight. This Is the appeal of nature, and It should be heard. Over-eating, late suppers, poorly chewed food, too rich pastries and under-done cooking are some of the causes of the stomach's ill health. When the stomach Is busy. It presses and churns all the liquid matter from food and with its Juices dissolves into liquid form or pulp everything which comes into it. It such food be poisonous it affects the Juices, attacks the stomach, goes Into the blood and weakens the entire system. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will di gest a full meal easily without mater ial assistance from the stomach. They will restock the gastric fluid with all the elements needed. They build up th blood, destroy sour taste, bad breath, belching, stomach and bowel trouble and quickly restore natural conditions. One grain of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets will digest 3000 grains of food in the stomach or In a glass vial without aid of the human digestive apparatus. The method of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the methods of Nature. They contain every requisite for the stomach and digestion. After a meal one of these little tablets when It en ters the stomach mingles with the Juices, attacks the food and digests It. It removes tne .ermeniea nu aecayea mass, lying stagnant there and eases the stomach at once. It is wholly a question ror you to solve.

PALO ALTO, Cal., Jan. 2.-In an Inter view today. President David Starr Jor dan of Stanford University, the American representative on the international fish eries commission, discussed the progress of the work and stated that upon many Important points the two commissioners had come to an agreement. The date of the submitting of the report has been postponed to June 3, and next Spring Dr. Jordan expects Dr. Prince, the English representative, to visit Stanford when the final touches will be put on the document. "The four alms of the commission have been," said Dr. Jordan, "first, to unify the many existing fishery laws; second, to enlarge the stock of fishes; third, to aid the fishing industry; and, fourth, to remove the sources of fric tion between England and the United States and the various atatea inter ested." White fish in the boundary waters, said Dr. Jordan, may be thrown open to the fishermen the entire year round, if provision can be made for saving an adequate amount of spawn. The spawn will be hatched in Govern ment and state hatcheries. Certain months of the year will be closed for black baas and this protection Is to be made as strong as possible. Salmon will be immune from capture for a certain period out of every week of the "run ning" or spawning seaaon. The .labors of the commission have pro gressed as far as a tentative list of stat ute, which are subject to revision and rewriting.
