TR PUTTING IP STRONG. But Doesn't It Look Reasonable. This may read as though we were putting it a little strong, because it is gencraily thought by the majority of ople shat fosper sia in its chronic oy is int. or practically so. But we have long since shown that dyspepsia is curasle, nor is it such a . difficult matter as at first appears. The trouble with dyspeptics is that they are continually dieting, starving | themselves, or going to opposite ex- weme or else deluging the alread over purdened stomach with ° bitters" "after dinner pils,"' ete, which in- variably increase the difficulty even if in some cases they do give a slight temporary relief. Such treatment of the stomach simply makes matters worse. What the stomach wants is a r.st. Now: how can the stomach be- come rested, recupcrated and at the came time the body nourished and sustained. : This is a great secret and this is al:o the secret of the uniform success ot Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This i# a comparatively new remedy but its snc and popularity leaves no doubt as to its merit, The tablets will digest the food any- way, regardless of condition of sto- ach. 'I be sufferer from dyspepsia accord- ing to directions, iz to eat an abun- dance of good wholesome food and use the tablets before and after each meal and' the result will be that the feod wiil be digested no matter how bad vour dyspepsia may be, because: as before stated, the tablets will digest the food even if the stomach is wholly inactive. To illustrate our meaning plainly, if you take 1,500 gra'ns of meat, exgs or ordinary food and place it in a temperature of ninety-eight de- grees, and put with it one of Stuart's Divspepsia Tablets it will digest the meat or eggs almost as perfectly as if the meat wags enc losed within the sto- mach. The stomach mav Le ever so weak vet these tablets will perform the work of divestion and the body and brain will be properly nowishel and at the same time a 1alial) lasting cure of dyspepsia will be made because the much abused stomach will Le given, to some extent, a much needed rest. Your druggist will tell you that of all the viany rene lies adverti-ed to cure dys- 18 pepsia none. of them have given so complete and gener ral satisfaction as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not least in importance in these hard times is the fact that they are also the cheapest and give the most good for the least money.

This Was the Unanimous Conclu- sion Arrived at Last Night -- The Meeting Largely Attended ~The Resolutions Passed. = The toll roads of the country tribu- tary to Kingston must go. The mar- Let tolls. of the city must go. This was the dominant note sounded at the meeting of merchants and other citi zens held in the city council chamber on Tuesday evening. Mayor Shaw presided, and as he called the meeting to order he saw before him D. A. Weese, A. Abernethy. Alderman Tait, H. Youlden, Dr. Ryan, Lieut.-Col. Hunter; J. D. Thompson, D. Spence, S. Stevenson, N. Runians, W. J. Fair, N. C. Polson, James Craw- ford, Charles Smith, J. B. Cook, John Gilbert, Harry Richardson, R. W. Al- len, J. R. Black, F. G.

Abramsky, Benjamin ~Web- ster, J. J. Crawford, Archibald Stra- chan, A. A. Ashley, D. E. Starr, Crawford, €, D. Chown, George Sears, Geo. R. W. Wright, Dr. Coy, W. H. Med ley and a number of others. On motion of Mr. Crawford, W. A. Weese was unanimously chosen as se- cretary. . The mayor stated that he had writ- ten a letter to Warden Spoor, invit- ing him and the county councillors to be present at the meeting. The ward- en had replied that as the countv council had met that day he was un able to be present. He had a number of important documents bearing on the question, and the county council would be pleased to meet a city com- mittee at 3 p.m. on Thursday. Dr. Ryan reierred to the good work done by the leaders of the agitation to abolish toll gates, which he char- acterized as "relics of barbarism." It was 'time. that these obstructions to commerce were removed, People would come to the city move frequently were these toll gates abolished. They were not only an expense, but an inconven ience. Kvery road leading from King- ston had toll gates upon it. He mov- ed, seconded by N. C. Polson: "That we, the citizens in mass meet- ine assembled, are convinced that the time has arrived for the abolition of all toll-gates throughout the county; therefore, be it resolved that every ef fort possible be made to secure the removal of the toll-gates, which we consider are a hindrance to our trade. We strongly believe that free roads would enhance the trade of Kineston. This has been the result in other parts of the province, and what has ob- tained there will undoubtedly follow here." In seconding 'the motion Mr. Polson stated that the co-operatipn of the county council was necessary. The On- tario government holds a large claim against these roads, but the govern- ment had not taken action to surren- der their claim, for which they would doubtless require some compensatjon. The citizens of Kingston should peti- tion the government for its aid. The government ought to deal with this matter. Kingston, too, ought to con- tribute, toward freeing these roads of toll gates. It would bé a good in- vestment. The" meeting should inves- tigate the status upon 'which the «ounty maintains these roads and levies tolls upon them. We have been building up the villages surrounding Kingston by maintaining these roads. He hopea this agitation might be pro- ductive' of better results "than those which preceded it. Alderman Tait did not think the citizens should move until the people of the county had done their duty. Dr. Gibson calied his Shakespearian knowledge into requisition and quoted that the abolition of the toll gates was '"'a consummation devoutly to be wished." ~The county people were as anxious to see the tolls removed - as were, the, citizens of Kingston. He did not think the: county could act until it was in a better financial condition. Ii the roads were gbolished, Wolfe "Isl and and Garaen Island would want free ferries. There was no use trying to frighten rate payers. What Can The City Offer ? County stated that no inducement ish the tolls. Comuissioner Campbell the city had thrown out to the county to, abol The county people had to pay ten cents market tolls when they came tp the city. Until the city did its share there was no use asking the county to do anyghing. County Commissioner Pillar was in favor of the abolition of the toll roads.

The motion was then put and car- Taking up the city's side of the question, Mr. Richardson moved : "That we, as cifizens in mass meet- ing assembled, request the city coun- cil to pass a by-law making the city markets and weighing on city scales free on conditions that the county council of the county of Frontenac aholish the toll gates within its lim- its; that the city council be requested to name a committee to act jointly with the committee appointed by this meeting to wait on the county council to present the matter; and, further, that the board of trade be requested to name a committee to act jointly with the committees from the oth: bodies named." Speaking to the motion, Mr. Rick ardson seid that taking' an average of $300 to a gate, the county was paying ahout $42,000 a year' for the privi ege of being taxed. The county Tost ? just that sum. Both city and county: wonld be better ofi if the gates were abolished. They were a nuisance, and proclaimed us to be behind the times. In seconding the resolution, Mr: Laidlaw advocated "a first move on the part of the city. He believed in free mazhet tolls and free weighing scales. There were legal complications, and it would be well to get legal advice. J. D. Thompson reviewed the past history of the agitation. King- ston threw off some $20,000 or $25,000 years ago for the abolition of tolls on the Pittsburg road. Kingston also granted a large amount to the Stor rington road. The city had materially assisted, the county. It had also abolished tolls for foot passengers crossing Citaraqui bridge. No gov- eroment was so obdurate as not to reduce the reimbursement it would ex- pect if the roads were turned over to the county, provided the city and county showed that it would - benefit them. Dr. Zg0 80 far tolls. Mr. Richardson expressed his convic- tion that thf city council would en dorse his motion. He was prepared to reach out to the county first. Mr. Richardson's motion was then carried. Dr. Ryan thereupon moved Hon. William Harty, EK. J. B. Pense, Henry Richardson, Edward Steacy, D. A. Weese and Dr. Ryan be a com- mittee to act with a committee of the council and board of trade and to meet with the county council to for- mulate a plan for the abolition of tolls in the county of Frontenac and city of Kingston. I'he motion was seconded by Jamcs Crawford and carried. Gilson believed the city should as to throw off the market that The Number Of Gates. One of the foremost agitators and hardest workers in the present cam- paign against county and market tolls is DI A. Weese, Princess street. He has worked untitingly in this regard, and it was largely due to his persona: effort, assisted by that of Mr. Laid- law, that the meeting last night was 80 well attended by Business men. Mr. Woese also prepared a plan, showing the roads leading to the city and the location of the fourteen toll gates sit: uated thereon lies so many parasites. This plan showed that there were two gates on the Sunbury road, one on the Kingston Mills road, three on the way to Inverary, two' between. King- ston and Elginburg, two on the Col- ling Bay road, two on Odessa road,and tive between the city and Harrow smith. It does not require a mathe matical genius to figure out the ex pense these gates inflict upon the far- mer who wishes to visit the city: "THE IVY LEAF." It Drew a Good House to the ; Grand.

He proved a favorite and his singing of "Your Dear Old Irish Mother," "The Lass*From the County Mayo," "In' Dear Old Ireland," and '"The Ivy Leaf," were wel: received.

The heavy roles were essayed by Frank McLean as Robert Nolan, ana Joe Reilly as Dennis Donovan, and both succeeded in gaining the enmity of the audience. Miss Florence Clements made a good Maureen Deelish, while petite Babv Karlene Carman woo the hearts of all by her winning ways. The balance of the cast was ordinary.

MUDIE CRITICISED By Mr. Ferguson -- Says the Pamphlet Looks to be the Work of an Obscure Steno- grapher -- Some Statements About Prohibition. . In the Salvation Army barracks, Tuesday night, WP. Fk. Ferguson, the Chicago temperance orator, devot- ed nearly two hours to an examina- tion criticism of John Mudie's pamphlet, which assumes to point out the defects of prohibition, and the shortcomings of the Ontario Liquor Act of 1902. The barracks were com- fortably filled, many expecting to hear a debate between the two orator- ical giants, but in this they were dis- appointed, as. Mr. Mudie was unable: to accept challenge for Tuesday, but need Friday as an agreeable date. . Ferguson, however, fbund it in- --_--n to accept Friday, and re- gretted that he had to take up the discussion of the pamphlet without having Mr. Mudie present. : John McIntyre, K.C., presided, and was supported by several local clergy- man . After a selection by the army band, prayer by Rev. Dr. Antliff and a solo by a member of the Salvation Army, Chairman McIntyre explained that it was deeply regretted fir. Mu- die had been unable to accept Mr. Ferguson's challenge for that night. It was felt that as Friday was Mr. Ferguson's last. night here, and he would have so much to say, it would not be good policy to take him away from his subject. In fairness to Mr. Mudie, the speaker said, it should be known that when approached he had no hesitation in agreeing to meet Mr. Ferguson, but asked for a few hours to collect his thoughts. There had not heen any attempt on either side to take advantage, one of the other. The speaker would be sorry, personally, to have anything said against Mr. Mu die, but when he undertook to send fortn such a pamphlet, he must be pre- pared to have it criticisec Mr. Ferguson began his 'address by saying he had been told that he was about to assail a pamphlet that re- presented the work of thirty years of the author. Mr. Mudie having sent out 60,000 copies of the pamphlet, it might be assumed that the case ° for the defence had been fairly presented and was now resting for the summary of the prosecution cre going to the juris The speaker was tempted to doubt that he was discussing the work of a barrister, when he read the au- thor"s words that "the prohibitionists have substituted the sword of the spir- it for the constable's baton." Why not say, said Mr. Ferguson, that jurispru- dence had not for 1,000 years dealt with highway robbery with the sword of the spirit ? The speaker doubted if the pamphlet was the work of Mr. Mudie's pen, it was so full of errors : he was rather inclined to ascribe it to some obscure stenographer, or office clerk. He thought it quite impossible for an eminent barrister and a gra- duate of Queen's to turn out a work so replete with errors and misrepres entations. On page seven Mr. Mudie states that the prohibitionists could not point out a physician who advocated tem- perance. Mr. Ferguson named Dr. Nor- man Kerr," Sir B. W. Richardson, Dr. N. S. Davis, Dr. Wilfrid Hall, Dr. August Ferrell, and quoted from some of their writings. "One and all," said the speaker, "have stood before the world as ardent supporters of prohi- ition." On page twenty, referring to wrohibition in the Unitéd States, Mr. Mudie asserts that | public sentiment had gradually changed, until four- fifths of the states- enacting. prohibi- tory laws, repealed them. "Surely, no man who has studied prohibition in the United States could have made such a statement," "said the speaker, who took np the states quoted by Mr. Mudie. Neither Maryland or- Wisconsin ever had a prohibitory law, Indiana enacted a prohibitory law, but when it came to be enforced it was taken into court hecause of its alleged constitutionality, and was d void on technical grounds. In 1 1855 New York enacted a prohibitory law, but no attempt was made to put it in force, it being declared upconsti- tutional; the law was not repealed, it was set aside by the courts. One who has studied prohibition in the United States ought to know that in Indiana and New York, the failure to enforce the prohibitory, laws was not due to un- NEW COFFEE. For The U.S. Army.

The brew- ers and distillers of the United States poured money into Rhode Island to buy votes and purchase the influence of the newspapers, and they succeeded in their design. In Michigan a prohi bitory law was enacted just prior to the civil war, and was lost sight of for about five years during the trou- blesome times. When conditions be gan to become normal again, an at. tempt was made to enforce it, but it was met with stout resistance by the handlers of liquor. 'The liquor men met in session in Detroit, and adopted resolutions which informed the politi- cal parties that they controlled 40,- 000 votes in the state, and these would be turned acainst "the party fa- voring a continuance ef the prohibi- tory law. They demanded a repeal of the law, and the corruption and brib- ery that secured a repeal of the Rhode Island law had a repetition in Michi- gan.
