President of Peru is Pleased With
Foreign Policy of Roosevelt. '
LIMA, Peru. Dec. 13. The Commerdo.
in an editorial said to have been Inspired
by President Candamo, commenting on
President Roosevelt's message to Con
gress, says:
"The nations of our continent which
do .not aspire, to live by robbing their
neighbors or to settle political problems
with cannons have no reason to trouble
themselves about the new phase of the
Monroe Doctrine, expounded by President
Roosevelt. The recent international his
tory of America does not warrant fears
that the United States dreams of con
quest. For more than 20 years Peru has
been suffering from the tyranny of a
powerful neighbor, and she cannot object
to the new fnoral force as a oeienaer or
justice and right"

counsel.
Mr. Rand Informed the court that the
theory of the prosecution Is that Smith
and his wife were co-conspirators against
loung, although they had not planned to
kill him. The prosecutor further said he
was prepared to prove that Smith and his
wife, with the active connivance of the
defendant's father, and also with the con
nivance of the defendant's lawyers, had
fled to parts unknown.
"When I say the defendant's counseh"
continued Mr. Rand, "I do not mean you,

toaay was given by experts as to the re-
suit of their examination of akin taken

ARE YOU SICK?
Headache?
If so where?
Dry, hacking cough?
Foul tongue?
Loss of appetite?
Lack of energy?
Pain In stomach?
Bowels? "
General weakness?
These are but a few of the signs ot
indigestion.
Some others are: Wind in the stom
ach or bowelsr constipation or diarrhea;
pale complexion; spots before the eyes;
dizziness; loss of flesh; Irritability; sleep
lessness; nervousness.
All these symptom will plague and
torment you, and will never permanent
ly leave you, once you suffer from them;
only are sure, in time, to get worse, if
not treated by the best known scientific
method of cure Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
These curative tablets are composed
of Ingredients which modern knowledge
of the true inward processes of diges
tion approve pf, as forming the best,
safest, surest and most scientific com
bination of medicinal drugs, that can be
used to relieve all the conditions of ill
health brought on by thi3 much-dreaded
disorder.
A disease so "protean" or change
able In its manifestations, assuming so
many forms, characterized by so many
different symptoms that, more times
than not. It Is mistaken for some other
disease altogether, and the poor patient
may die, or at best allow the seeds of
permanent, chronic sickness, to germi
nate and take root In his system.
So It Is a real danger we ask you to
avoid, when we say: In case of doubt,
take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Even If disordered digestion Is not
the real cause of your sickness (which,
probably, though, it is), yet your di
gestion is nearly certain to be out of
order, and if allowed jto remain so will
seriously complicate your sickness for
you-
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, then, will
be sure to do you good, and will not In
terfere with any other medicine you
may be taking.
They will help to make your food
make you strong, and thus, if in no
other way, help you back to health
by helping your system to throw off
disease like a healthy duck shakes wa
ter off Its back.
Shake off your sickness with Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
