brought to Wsihlngton by the re
port that the High Joint Commission
had partially agreed to terms of commer
cial reciprocity between the United
States and Canada, and they are button'
holing their Commissioner and entreat

interests of Canada. What affect, If any,
their visit to Washingloa will have re
mains to be seen. , But one thing may be
put down as certain. .. It the commis
sion does agree upon commercial reel
proclty between the two countries, there
will be more or less grumbling ou both
sides of the line, a in any such arrange
ment some individual Interest are bound
to suffer. Previous attempt to secure
reciprocity have failed because the rep
resentatives of Canada have asked more
than they were wlllingo give.
PECULIAR POMS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY.
The meaals af losperfeel Otafeatlaa er
Every living thing, plant or animal,
contain within Itself the germs of cer
tain decay aad deattn
In the human body- these germs of dis
ease and death (called by scientists
Ptomaines), are usually the result of im
perfect digestion of food: the result of
radigest ion or dyspepsia, . . . V
The itomacu, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly digest
the food. The result Is a heavy, sodden
mass which ferment (the first process
of djcay) poisoning the bloodrinaking It
thin, weak-and lacking in red corpuscles;
poisoning the braia - causing hetdache
aud pain in the eyes. ' , ; .'.
Bad digestion irritates the heart, caus
ing palpitation aud finally bringing on
disease of tbl very important organ.
.Poor digestion, poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright' disease and diabetes.
. And tbl is so because Vevery organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal, and
weak digestion shows itself not only In
loss of appetite and flesh,' but in weak
nerves and muddy -complexion. '
The great English scientist, Yaxley,
said the best start in life Is a sound
vtomach. ' Weak stomachs fail to digest
foot, proper y, because I hey lack the
proper quantity of digestive acids (lactic
and hydrochloric) aud peptogeolu pro
ducts; the most sensible remedy in all
cases of indigestion, Is to take after each
meal, one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, because they supply In a pleas
ant, harmless form all the elements thai
weak stomachs lack.' ,
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They increase Besh, insure pure blood
strong nerves, bright eye and clear com
plexion, because all these result only
from wholesome food well digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets at SO cents full sized
packase or by mail by enclosing price to
Stuart Co , Marshall, Mich., but atk your

of Naval 'militia of the United States
met here today on board the old receiv

Florida, California, Georgia, Louisiana,
Maryland, Yliglnla, New York, New

The meetleg will be one of national
Importance on account of the movement
now on foot looking toward the forma
tion of a national naval militia.
The conference wa called to order uV
Captain J. W. Miller, of New York, pre
sident of the association, who in a few
remark Introduced Governor Hasting.
In a brief speech the Governor formal
ly welcomed the delegatea to the Slate
and expressed his high appreciation of
the record made by the mllttta during
the recent war.
Upon the conclusion of the reading of
the reports the remainder of the day was
given to a general discussion of the art
rtsablllty of forming a naval reserve of
a national character. - ' '
It appeared to be the opinion of all
those participating In the discussion that
such step would be a move in the right
direction and about the only point on
which there seemed to be a difference
waa whether or not State naval militli
ihould be dispensed with. '

mi th. am r 1K.1 tha War Deoartaaaat
should allow the chairman of the House
military affairs committee to prepare so
important a bill, and that General Miles,
the head of the army, wa not consulted.
The circumstance, of course, did not fail
to attract attention at the headquarters
oft he army, but there It seemed to be
accepted as another phase of the anti-
Mile policy of Secretary Alger.
The Mile bill, of coarse, proceed on
th basts of aa army of IO0.OOJ, and
makes tome provlsloa for esing the Na
tional Guard and a colonial force, the
former only in time of war. It provides,
also, for the Instruction of the militia
and for aa allowance for volunteer ia
time of peace, not only la th way of
equipment, but In compensation for the
period spent In drilling or In camp, aay
from fifteen to thirty day annually.
General Mile believe hat the war with
Spain showed very clearly that the State
troops as such were of little Value when
the time came for their Incorporation
into the federal organization. -
There was not only hopeless confu
sion, but they were not fully equipped,
and lacked training, experience and com
petent officer Something must be done
to place the National Gnardon a footing
of a-rcaier usefulness. The term of the
Miles bill contemplate thia and authorize
the President . 'n time of war to draw
upon trained organization and appoint
officer for staff duty with volunteer
regiment. ' '
