The holidays are over and everybody’s
had a good time—perhaps a little too much
of a good time. Over-eating arrtTbver-
drinking have been the rule ever since
Thanksgiving Day.
Many people get little exercise in winter
and breathe much stuffy, over-heated in-
side air.
At the same time they eat too much rich
and indigestible food, while fresh fruit and
fresh vegetables are scarce in the market.
So stomach and bowels are liable to be
over-taxed.

Pall Mall Gazette.
A writer in a Dublin newspaper bias dis-
interred a long-forgotten book, published
in London In 1820, which consists of a
series of letters describing a tour in Ire-
land in 1812 by I. B. Trotter, who was a
friend of Charles James Fox. Mr. Trotter
relates that the Rev. Father Redmond,
who was parish priest of th© little town
of Ferns on the occasion of his visit, had
actually saved Napoleon’s life.
“Accident,” writes Mr. Trotter, “intro-
duced me to the Rev. Mr. Redmond, priest
of the place, who related to me a curious
little anecdote. When pursuing his
studies and finishing his course of educa-
tion. in France he had spent a summer in
Bas Polctou, where Gen. Bonaparte, then
a thin, slight young boy, was. He had
slept in the same room with him six
weeks, and perceived nothing shining or
engaging in him. He was generally em-
ployed in making machinery, which he
placed on a small water course. As the
party were one day shooting, Bonaparte,
who was not very active, fell into a brook
five feet deep, which he endeavored to
leap across. He was nearly drowned,
when Mr. Redmond immediately dis-
charged his piece and presented the end
to him, by which he saved his life.”
Mr. Trotter inquired whether Napoleon
had ever shown him any gratitude for
this service, and was thus answered: “No,
and I assure you, sir, I do not admire his
principles.”

It’s not enough to digest your food, and
reduce it to pulp or liquid ’inside you,
but it must also be properly absorbed,
carried to the proper organs, filtered,
purified, and carried by your blood to the
-various parts of your body which are
worn out and stand in need’ of repair.
This is a system of complicated ma-
chinery, engineering, chemistry and
physics, before which all of man’s most
wonderful achievements since the world
began pale into insignificance.
And, when you come to thing of it, next
to the marvel of any complicate piece qf
mechanism itself, is the man who, when
it has broken down, can repair it and
make it go again.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets.
Really, the most marvelous achievement
in the vast field of man’s many-sided en-
deavors.
A perfect medicine, which never fails to
cure, or set in running order again, the
complicated mechanism of man’s internal
digestive arrangements.
The secret of the great success of
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets is simply this,
that they have been prepared upon the
firm foundation of the most thorough re-
search into the real origin and cause of
all disorders, due to the improper diges-
tion and absorption of food.
Knowing the cause, further research led
to the knowledge of how to relieve and
cure.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are the only
medicine founded upon certain scientific
rules of treatment, which make success a
certainty.
They penetrate into all the channels of
your being, into the minutest arteries, the
tiniest lymphatics, the faintest tracery of
nerve tissue; and renew, build un refresh,
and restore to health every disorder
which Improper food, poor digestion, or
incomplete absorption has caused, in any
portion of your anatomy.
No need to consult a physician.
At the least sign of distress aftter eat-
ing, take Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets.
On the least pain or discomfort, in
stomach, liver, back, or bowels, take
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets.
For any craving for improper fqod, con-
tinual hunger, continual thirst, or loss of
appetite in preater or lesser form, take
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets.
By following these simple rules, you
will save yourself much pain, suffering
and discomfort, and will add greatly to
your span of life.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will make
you live long and happily.

of state, who has made serious endeavor
to avert the trouble over the German
tariff, has impressed the western con-
gressmen with the seriousness of the sit-
uation as far as their staltes and personal
interests are concerned, and this has
doubled their anxiety and demand at this
time that something be done. In the
senate Spooner of Wisconsin and Allison
of Iowa are fully alive to the situation
and are in favor of a proposed reciprocity
treaty with Germany that will prevent the
putting into effect of the German tariff
on March 1, 1906. Senator Aldrich, how-

in. the face of such antagonism the ad-

Washington, D. C., Dec. 30.—The resump-
tion of the session of congreg^after the
holidays is enveloped m an air of great-
er interest and expeefi y than was the
opening’ session itself in the first week
of December. The issues have not been
appreciably changed, only better defined,
and perhaps their rc.nks of importance
transposed. StafelMoffi^^hich held the
v BlsiiiiW
boards at the (jpqjgjqg of congress by
reason of the enthmshs'h? injected in-tq the
question, rather than by any element
of gravity in thenissu& has been entirely
o sat
overshadowed by the greater matters of
canal and rate legislation, with some fuss
•over insurance control,^feut as yet with-
out a crystallization oi’sentiment on this
subject. • sii v.o
—The Panama canal got a false start with
this congress. Then mistakes of a human
and impetuous president3,offered an open-
ing for the interests that are fighting the
canal, not in the 'face of’^ublic sentiment,
but under -cover, to unuddle the situation.
When/ conscientious men like Culberson
probed the canal, matter with a view to
rectifying the more glaring defects and
to applying tO' the canal administration
those finer precepts of civic righteousness
which 'the president has so persistently
preached, the political fire-eaters fanned
the blaze of party rancor, and the ~antag-
ill £511 lULli*3< kJUVUlCti M , VY CX-
by the settlers in the surf since the ondstic commercial interests sicked on the
dogs thlalt smarted under the damage to
senatorial dignity which 'was inflicted:
when the president nominated for canal
commissioner “Press Agent” Bishop.
There is now going *0 be an investigation
into the-fitness and qualification of the
individual men who have been nominated
for canal commissioner, and it is set
down as an assured fadt that there will
be a minority report and a fight on at
least some two or three of the nominees.
That is the immediate interest that cen-
ters in the canal matter before congress.
While there is no apprehension of pres-
ent danger to the canal project, friends of
the undertaking regret the game. of put-
ting each other “to the bad” in which
the president and the senate are engaged,
as having a tendency to drag the execu-
tion of the great work from a high
scientific and business level down into
the plane of politics where its enemies
hope to eventually land it.
There may be no tariff revision at the
hands of the present congress, but all
things now point to one of the most ine
teresting atltempts at it recorded in late
years. The tariff discriminations which
Germany has directed at this country is
perhaps the strongest ally that the Demo-
crats will have in essaying a breach in the
tariff wall. These- discrlmina'tions go*
right home to the Republican states in
the west where grain and where cattle
are the important products. These ex-
ports will be barred from the German
empire, and the effectg, will be felt at
once in the grain and .eetcle states. That
is why Speaker’ Uanno'^ is finding the
‘tariff insurgents!’ so hard to hold down.
They are usually,, from districts
where the vote -is//close/ and who must
make a vigorous’ stand®?or tariff revision
in ordei’ to facelthdir constituents in the
coming congressional,elections. Then, too,
there are a_ halD'at dozen or more bills
before the committee which seek to give
the- president retaliatory power against
any country that may p’ass discriminating
tariffs against the United States. Two
of these bills come ' from members of the
ways and means committee. One is by
McCleary of Minnesota, who would give
the president power to increase the Amer-
ican tariff 25 per cent against any
try that discriminates against American
products. The other is by Williams, the
minority leader, who would authorize a
reduction to the extent of 20 per cent in

Los Angeles, Cali., Jan,. 1.—A. C. Bird,
vice president in charge of traffic of the
Gould lines, with offices in Chicago, has
resigned his position, and will engage in
the dairy business on his ranch at Camp-
ton, seven miles from Los Angeles. He
has 100 acres in one tract. Mr. Bird has
bee nin Los Angeles for several months,
recuperating from a severe attack of grip
contracted in. the east last spring. Mr.
Bird is building a palatial home on his
ranch, and says he has no regret at re-
tiring from aetive railway life. He has
regained his health almost completely,
j but is not willing to return again to the
rigorous climate of the east. His contract
as vice president of the Gould traffic
would have expired March 1, 1906. He had
a combined salary of $40,CO0 per annum.

Austin, Tex., Dec. 30.—It has been re-
ported from time to time for the past
several years that the Texas Central rail-
. road was to be. extended from its present
northwestern terminus to New Mexico,
passing through the Panhandle. These
reports have always been denied. It is
now authoritatively stated that this long-
talked-of extension is finally to be made.
Judge' George Clark has submitted to the
attorney general a proposed amendment
to the charter of the road providing for
the extension. The amendment will be
approved as soon as Attorney General
Devidson. returns to the city. Judge
Clark says that the first division of 42
.miles, from Stamford, will be built im-
mediately. This extension will be to As-
permont and beyond that point. The
exact route of the extension will not be
made known until the amendement is ap-
proved by .the eittbrney general and filed,
but-it is expected that it will pass through
a number of towns in'the Panhandle, in-
cluding Amarillo.
The decision of the owners of the Texas
Central to build this extension is another
evidence of the wonderful development of
the PanhandL region. The Texas Central
was built from Waco to Stamford ten or
twelve years ago at a time “when the
country through which it passed was
sparsely settled. The owners of the road
are New England people who are not
identified with any other railroad prop-
erty in Texas. They established the town
of Stamford, naming it after Stam-
ford, Conn., where the ' promoters
of the enterprise live. Stamford has had
a rapid growth and is one of the best
towns in that part of the state.

To certain American institutions the

ever, one abuse introduced into London

the new Western Pacific road. It will
parallel closetly the Southern Pacific -ST.
its entire length, and will be a close
competitor with that line for all classes
of freight, both local and through. After
leaving - the terminals at West Oakland,
Cal., and. coming east, the route laid
out closely follows that of the South-
ern Pacific to- Niles, where it enters the
Niles canyon tunnel.
Eastward from that point it runs
to LivermGire and from
there it goes in a straight line to a con-
nection with the Alameda and San Joa-
quin, over which it 'Will obtain an

From Stockton to Sacramento and f?om

will lie between the tracks of the South-

North of Oroville the road will follow
closely the north fork of the Feather
for a considerable distance, and
swing southeasterly to Beekwork
Through the pass it will parallel

From that point it will take a straight
course to the southern end of the Great

connecting there with the Rio Grande
