A Reasonable Plea
For ths Stomach
If Your Stomach Is Lacking in Di
gestive Power, Why Not Help the
Stomach Do Its Work Espe
cially When It Costa Noth
ing to Try?
Not with drugs, but with a rein
forcement of digestive .agents, such as
are naturally at work In the stomach?
Scientific analysis shows that digestion
requires pepsin, nitrogenous ferments,
and the secretion of hydrochlorio acid.
When your food fails to digest. . it is
proof positive that some of these
agents are lacking in your digestive
apparatus
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tableta contain
nothing but these natural elements
necessary to digestion and when placed
at work ia the weak stomach and small
intestines, supply what these organs
need. They stimulate the gastric
glands and gradually bring the diges
tive organs back to their normal con
dition. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
subjected to critical chemical tests at
home and abroad and are found to con
tain nothing but natural digestives.

BILL TO BE REPORTED
SENATE COMMITTEE WILL ACT
OS RECIPROCITY TODAY.
Opposition Is Strong: and No Recom
mendation Is Likely Cum
mins Will Move to Amend.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 23. Hearings
on the Canadian reciprocity agreement
were concluded today in the Senate
committee and tomorrow at 10:30 A. M.
the committee will meet to determine
the form In which the McCall bill, to
carry the agreement into effect, will
be reported.
There is so much opposition In the
finance committee to the agreement
that it is believed the pledge to Presi
dent Taft not to "smother" the agree
ment will be kept by returning the
McCall bill to the Senate "without rec
ommendation." The Senate today adopted a resolu
tion offered by Cummins calling upon
the President to submit all the infor
mation he had bearing on the agree
ment, together with the data and sta
tistics gathered by the tariff board,
if consistent with the public welfare.
This move indicates that an effort
will be made to amend the agreement
by a considerable number of Republi
cans of both factions.
Cummins' resolution called for the
tariff board's data on a number of
commodities not covered by the Cana
dian agreement and he said he intend
ed to offer amendments covering the
things mentioned, so that if there is
to be a free list with Canada, it shall -Include
articles the farmer buys as
well as articles he raises.
Hale gave his approval to the move
ment.
Deal with the Grocer who sells Cottolene
Cottolene is the original vegetable-oil cooking fat
It is in a class by itself, and imitations approach it
only in claims not in quality.
It has come to our notice that cheap and inferior
imitations are being offered the public in some
communities as "just as good" as Cottolene.
There is no economy in buying such products
even at a few cents less per pail than Cotto
lene is sold for. And this is why:
These products are of inferior grade, and
often made amid questionable surroundings.
V a SiJ&J? farther than any of these products, lard or
PjH cooking butter, and a few cent's saving at the
I M start k not a saving in the end, but false
-
There's but one Cottolene, and we make it,
Substitutes are make-believes, and dear at any
price. It pays to deal with the grocer who sells Cottolene, because
he is most likely to sell the best of everything.
