Common soda la all right In Its place and indispensable In tho kitchen and for cooking and washing purposes, but It, was never intended for a medicine, and people who use It as eiich will some day' regret it. We refer to tho common use of soda toj relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit which thousands of people practice almost daily, and one which Is fraught with danger, moreover the soda only gives temporary relief and in the end tho stomach troublo gets worse and worse. The soda nets as a mechanical irri tant to tho walls of the stomach and bowels and cases are oh record Where It accumulated in tho intestines, caus ing death by inflammation or periton itis. Dr. Harlandson recommends as tho safest and surest cure for sour stom ach (acid dyspepsia) an excellent prep aration sold by druggists under tho name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Theso tablets are large 20 grains loz enges, very pleasant to taste and con tain the natural acids, peptones and digestion and when 'taken after meals they digest the food perfectly nnd promptly before it has time to ferment, sour and poison the blood and nervous system. Dr. Wuerth states that he Invariably UBes Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets In all cases of stomach derangements and finds them a certain cure not only for stomach, but by promptly digesting the food they create a healthy appetite, in crease llesh and strengthen tne ac tion of tho heart and liver. They are not a cathartic, but intended onlv for stomach diseases nnd weaknesses and will be found reliable In nny stomach troublo except cancer of tho stomach. All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets tit 50 cents per package.

Keep Your Kyo on Kansas nnd Sco Wlint It Cnn Do in tho Future. From tho Washington Star. If you want to make the blood of a true Kansan boll Just say to him that the Sunllower has dropped back a peg lr. the march of civilization. Tom Mc Neill, an ex-state senator and humor ist of more than state fame, Is par ticularly Jealous of the state's fair name. "You can Just say to the Jays who are poking fun at Kansas," he said to a reporter of the Star, "that whatever they may think of her politi cal conduct, whether they wear the sack cloth of the defeated or snort with the exultant voice of the victor, the unalterable fact remains that Kansas is still the geographical centre of the world the linch pin of the unl.'orse. Even the fact that half the people of the world are at this time engaged in abusing or defending her shows that fche is built to attract attention nnd In vite contention. Tho ordinary common place things of the world do not at tract attention, only the little things of vulue invite contention. "Kansas will in the future, as she has in the past, overcome more dif ficulties, create more surprises and make more material advancement In a given time than any other state In the Union. '"Kansas Is the only state that ever grew enough wheat in one season to furnish bread for more than a week for every man, woman and child on the face of the elobe, from Orient to Occident and from Greenland's icy mountains to India's coral strand. She Is the only state that within twenty four hours can furnish a climate suit ed to the taste of the Ice man from Iceland, the Pole from Poland, the Hoi from Holland or the tropical sav age from Borneo In his untrammeling suit of sunshine. "Kansas is the only state that can mix In the commerce of every clime and where a hot wind will affect the markets of Christendom. Within the Inst ten years the state has raised suf ficient corn to fatten enough cattle to drink up the waters of Lake Superior and enough hogs to furnish ham gravy sufficient to float the United States navy. She has enough natural gas to supply the furnaces of clvllzatlon and enough salt to make pickling brine out of all the fresh waters of the globe. "Keep your eye on Kansas and don't be discouraged. She will profit by the agricultural mistakes of the past and develop along the lines that nature In tended." Oil on Troubled Waters.

Wnlt Street lloviow. Now York, Juno 10. Today showed tho largest volume of trading on tho stock exchange for the year thus far, tho dealings were well distributed throughout tho list. A heavy realiz ing movement in the final hour wiped out a number. The heavy liquidation in sugar was the main factor on break ing the market Sugar's fall from the high point was 2, but a final rally left its net loss fractional. The coalers were also no tably active and strong. Lackawanna held the gain but the others reacted, New Jersey Central and Delaware and Hudson gaining 2 points net and the Reading stocks a fraction.

From Iron. It is told that the locomotive whistle was invented because of the destruc tion of a load of eggs. When locomo tives were first built the country roads wre for the most part crossed at grade and the engine driver had no way oi giving warning of his approach ex cept by blowing a tin horn. The horn, it may be imagined, was far from be ing sufficient warning. One day in the year 1S33 a farmer was crossing the railroad track on one of the country roads with a great load of eggs and butter. Just as he came out upon the track a train approached. The engine man blew his horn lustily, but the faimer did not hear it. Eighty dozen of eggs and fifty pounds of butter were smashed Into an indistinguish able, unpleasant mass and mingled with the kindling wood to which tho 'wagon was reduced. Tho railway com pany had to pay the farmer tho value of his wagon. It was considered a very serious matter, and straightway a director of the company, Ashlen Bax ter by name, went to Alton Grange, where George Stephenson lived, to see If ho could not invent something that would give a warning more likely to be heard. Stephenson went to work, and the next day had a contrivance which, when attached to the engine holler and the. steam turned on, gave out a shrill, discordant sound. The railroad directors, greatly delighted, ordered similar contrivances attached to all the locomotives, and from that day to this tho voice of the locomo tive -whistle lias never been silent.
