. Washington. December 11 A confer
ence was held today by Republican Con
gressman to discuss a modification of the
Civil Service law. There were seventy
two members present at the meeting. :
The meeting was not a party caucus
but only informal, as many of the Re
publican leaders would not participate if
they ' were to be bound by the caucus
action made to pledge the majority to the
repeal of the law. : )y
The speech of Representative Linney
in the Bouse in favor of repealing the
law was the frankest declaration of the
spoilman's desire tfiat has yet been made.
The fear of defeat at the next election
unless the Voters have tho inducement
of the offices he frankly acknowledged
to be the basis of his opposition. There
was po concealment of the purpose to
make the offices the rewards of party
fealty, and he argued that in no other
way could a party organization be main
tained. It was a significant circumstance
that -Mr. Linney was very carefully
listened, to by the Republican majority
and frequently applauded.

Acid dysoepsia, commonly called
heart-burn or sour stomach, is a form of
indigestion resulting from fermentation
of the food. The stomach being too
weak to promptly digest it, the food re
mains until fermentation begins, filling
the stomach with gas, and a bitter, sour,
burning taste in the mouth is often
present. This condition soon becomes
chronic and being an every day occur
rence is given but little attention. Be
cause dyspepsia ij not immediately
fatal, many people do nothing for the
trouble.
Within a recent period u remedy bus
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. It is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and is now becoming rapidly used and
prescribed as a radical cure for every
form of dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and arc sold by
druggists everywhere at !0 cents pel
package. It ia prepared by the Stuart
Co., Marshall, Mich., and while it
promptly and effectually restores a vig
orous digestion, at the same is perfectly
harmless and will not injure the most
delicate stomach, but on the contrary by
giving perfect digestion strengthens the
stomach, improves the appetite and
makes life worth living.

Every man of moderate ineanj, and every man working ou a salary,

When the Gist payment is made, I will give you a guarantee to make

When the lot is paid for, I will build yon a MODERN COTTAGE,
