Food taken Into the stomach which, from the nature of the food or the condition of the stomach, is not digested, is worse than no food at all. This is a true statement as far as it goes and a great many dyspeptics go only this far witii their reasoning. They argue with themselves that because their stomachs do not do the work given them, they must be given less work; in other words they must be starved. It would be Just as sensible for a business man who Is unable to do all his own work to cut down his business to his own capacity as it is for a man to starve himself to relieve his stomach. The sensible business man employs help and goes forward with his business. Likewise the sensible dyspeptic will employ help for his stomach and give his body pr per nourisbment. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually do the work assigned to them. They relieve we4k and overburdened stomachs of a great portion of digestive action. Their component parts are identical with those of the digestive fluids and secretions of the stomach and they simply take up the grind and cany on the work just the same as a good, strong, healthy stomach would do it. On this account Stuart s Iysieisia Tablets are perfectly natural in their action and effects. They do not cause any unnatural or violent disturbance in the stomach or bowels. They themselves digest the food and supply the system with all the nourishment contained in what Is eaten and carry out Nature's plan for the sustenance and maintenance of the body. How much more sensible is this method than thjit employed by many sufferers from weak stomachs. By this means the body and brain get all the good, nutritious food they need and the man li properly nourished, and equipped to carry on his work and perform his duties. He could not possibly be In proper working condition by starving himself or employing some new fungl d Insuffl' ient food, that do not contain enough nutriment for a year-old baby. A strong man. doing SfWHsSj work, must be properly fed and this applies to the brain as well as the bed) Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by relieving the stomach of its work, enable it to recuperate and regain its normal heslth and strength. Natur- repairs the worn and wasted tissues Just as she heals and knits the bona of a broken limb, which is of course not used during the process of repair. Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale by all druggists at 5o cents a box and they are the one article lhnt th druggist do. not try to ssll something in the place of that's "Just aa good.'' Their uniualtnd merit sod success and Um universal demand for them has placed Uivui iihlu uv r cavil Su. t.t.jr ouc

ARREST OF THIRTEEN WOULD-BE LYNCHERS

Sheriff Informs Them He Will Do Everything in His Power to Send Them to Prison. DIGGIXS WELL GUARDED Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE. Feb. 27-Thirteen arrests have been made up to this evening of men who made a "bluff" at lynching Jerry Duggins. the triple murderer. They cannot understand their predicament and wh'-n Sheriff Fasig told them he would do all in his power to send them to prison, for the first time they fully realized the changed conditions since the last lynching in Terre Haute. With one or two exceptions the arrested men are police characters, several are ex-convicts and some of them had been in Jail frequently for misdemeanors. They knew at the time of the Ward lynching that the "bluff" won. the lynching was carried out and the lynchers, although as well known ns they ar now in the Duggins case, were not molested. They are held on information and the grand jury is investigat ing each case to the end that indictments ! may be returned for felonies for which I prison sentences can be inflicted. The thirteen men comprise practically all the leaders at the jail Tuesday night. Visitors are not permitted to see Duggins. A close watch is being kept on him to prevent suicide, but there is little belief that he would take hi:s own life. It is now known that he had arsenic the night he killed Mrs. Ramsey and her two children and put some in a coffee pot. but he was too much of a coward to take the poison.

TURKEY NOT TRIG TO PROVOKEJMR IN BALKANS Such Is the Opinion of an American Official Would Not Profit if She Did Win. NO DEAL WITH RUSSIA PARIS, Feb. 27. An American official, who for two years past has been studying the conditions in the Balkans, has Just arrived iu Paris and to-day made a statement of the situation. He said: "I am satisfied Turkey will not declare war. She has been informed by the powers that even if she does engage in hostilities she will gain absolutely no result therefrom and even may suffer from a military occupation by the powers, and that, perhaps, may result in the separation of Macedonia from the Turkish empire. It is true that Turkey is sending reinforcements to Macedonia, but this is due to the prospect of an outbreak of another insurrection and possible interference on the part of Bulgaria, now that Russia is occupied with the Japanese. But the Sultan has everything to lose and little to gain by a war and if it comes you may depend upon it that Bulgaria will be the aggressor. Should war come I am satisfied that Bulgaria will be defeated. Operating in the mountains, where a few men can pick off a whole regiment, the Bulgarians and insurgents have a distinct advantage. But the Turkish troops can sweep them around toward Sofia, where the country is level. Bulgaria says she is able to put 300,000 men in the field. The Turks can quickly throw double that number into Macedonia and reinforce them if necessary. "It has been said that Russia and Turkey are discussing the question of the passage of the Dardanelles by the Russian Black sea fleet. Turkey would nor give her consent if asked unless she gained some concession in the Balkans, such as dealing with Bulgaria as she saw fit. But Russia could not make such a concession, because she would thereby, forfeit the preferential position which she and Austria hold in consequence of having been designated by the powers to act as their representative! in dealing with the Balkan luestion. Moreover, Russia understands that if she ceased to be a representative of the powers, other powere would Intervene. But granting that Russia may take this risk and induce Turkey to permit the passage of her fleet, this would be in violation of the Berlin treaty. of which Great Britain is a signatory power. "It would mean furthermore that Turkey and Russia had entered Into an understanding which might be interpreted as bringing into play the Anglo-Japanese alliance. Aside from this latter point, them is hardly any question that Russia would iind British ships blocking the Suez canal and tho Straits of Gibraltar. Finally th. Black sea Meet has been reatly overrated. It was examined a short time ago by an American naval officer. He reporter! that it was not in very good condition and that in any event it was of no use for over-sea operations, in consequence of the small coal capaeity of the vessels. The ships were eonstrueted simply for operations in the Bl.u k sea and not for service in the far East. Their bunkers are inadequate to permit their making a trip to China or steaming any long distance."

on her one afternoon after an absnc of TO SETTLE TROUBLE 111 BALKANS United States May Be Asked to Act as Arbitrator in the Dispute, j GARIBALDI RAISING MEN ROME, Feb. 37 The situation In th Balkans, with which Russia, Italy and Austria are so closely connected, although it has apparently improved somewhat during the last few days, still occasions considerable anxiety. It is no longer a secret that Boris Sarafoff, the Macedonian leader, came to Italy with the principal object of deciding on a course of action with Ricclottl Garibaldi, who heretofore has not approved of an isolated movement on the part of the Macedonians. In an Interview the two leaders agreed upon a plan which will result in a general rising in the Balkans, should necessity arise. With this object a meeting of ail the Balkan leaders has been provisionally arranged to take place in Venice about the end of March. The possibility of arbitration was tlso discussed by 8arafoff and Garibaldi. The latter proposed to sound the United States as to whether or not th t country would be willing to set in the capacity of arbitrator, as he regarded it as the government best titted to do so, it having no direct or indirect interest in tha affair, while its fairness has been already established. Should arbitration or the other suggested arrangements for a peaceful settlement of the threatened trouble fall, a general revolution seems inevitable, and Garibaldi is already secretly preparing a body of volunteers, each member of which will be equipped with arms, 2,w0 rounds of cartridges and food for a month. Garibaldi was offered the general direction of the Macedonian movement, but refused on the ground that he thought it better to leave the leadership to some man directly interI ited in Macedonia, as this wotnd give him (Garibaldi) a freer hand. The financing of the movement being the most difficult part. Garibaldi is asking all his friends in Italy and abroad to cmtribute funds to the case. Confidential and official information front Austria points to the fact that that government is making extensive preparations to check any movements on Its Bout h eastern frontiers, where reinforcements amounting to thirty thousand men have been centered. The proprietors of theaters and other large buildings In that part of the country have be-n warned thit their premises may be seized for military purposes. It is now known that negotiations sr going on between Russia and Italy with regard to the Balkans. Signor Tlttoni. the Italian foreign minister, allude. l to then exchanges in the Chamber of deputies on Feb. 22. when he protested against the antiKussdan manifestations In Italy, and said they would endanger the relations of Italy and Russia Just when the two governments were "exchanging views on very vital interests."
