pan SOUR STOMACH (ACID DYS- PEPSIA). Now Recognized as the Cause of Serious Diseases. Acid Dyspepsia, commonly called heartburn or sour stomach, is a form of indigestion resulting from fermenta- tion of the food. The stomach- being too weak to promptly digest it, the food remains until fermentation be- gins, filling the stomach with gas, and a bitter, sour, burning taste in the mouth is often present. This con- dition soon becomes chronic and being an every dav occurrence is given but little attention. Because Dyspepsia is not immediately fatal, many people do nothing for the trouble. It is now well known among able phy- gicians that the whole constitution is gradually undermined and weakened, that the nerves and vital organs are seriously affected by any-form-of dvs- pepsia. This is plain, as every organ, every nerve in the body is nourished by the blood and the blood is replen- ishetl from the food digested. If the food is properly digested the Llood is pure, the nerves steady, but if sup- plied from a sour, fermenting, decay- ing mass the blood is vitiated, poizon- ed and the fesult is shown in sleepless- ness, lack of energy, poor appetite, nervousness, Ever€: trifle is maonilied and the dyspeptic sees nothing but the dark side of everything. Within a recent period a remedy has been discovered prepared solely to cure dyspepsia and stomach troubles. Tt i known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and it is now hecoming rapidly used and preseribed as a radifal cure for every form of dyspepsia. It not claimed to cure anything except dyspepsia and stomach weak ness in its various forms, but for this it has been shown to be unequalled.

CASE AGAINST LOCOMOTIVE WORKS COMPANY Failed Because Plaintiff Was Only a Handy Man Instead of a Machinist--Objection to Labor Union Jurors. The December county court sitting was opened Tuesday afternoon before His Honor, Judge Price. This grand jury was empanclled.: 8. C. Bourk, Oso; Hendri « Breace, Bediord; James Brown, Wolfe Island; S. A. Davy, Sy- denham; George Gibson, William Kee- nam* Kingston township; W. J. Phil lips, Portland; William Rea, Pittsburg; N. E. Runians, D. A. Weese, J. 8S. Mc- Bride, A. W. Mclean and Richard Mc- Mitlan, city. There were no criminal cases for consideration, and the judge addressed but a few words to the jury in reference to visiting the public in- stitutions. The docket consisted of two jury cases, the first being that of William Robertson, a Scotch machinist, who brought action against the Canadian Locomotive Works company for alleg- ed wrongful dismissal, for which he asked $200 damages. Dr. Smythe, K. for pluintifi; J. L. Whiting, K.C., lefendants, : for After the petit jury had Been called, Mr. Whiting on behalf of his clients, objected to John A. Nelson, William Tweed and Hugh McBratney: who were members of local labor unions, which, Mr. Whiting said, were hostile the Locomotive Works' company, being in sympathy with the machin- ists who struck last spring. His hon- or asked the three jurors mentioned to stand, and then questioned them as to their relation to' the strikers. Mr. McBratney replied that he didn't know anything definite about the attitude of Lis union. Mr. Tweed admitted that the unions certainly sympathized with the strikers, and perhaps had given them financial support. Mr. Nelson replied likewise as to sympathy. "Do you know if the unions to have given any organized or financial -as istance to the strikers ?" asked . his honor. "No," replied Mr. Nelson. *Well 1 challenge them anyway," said Mr. Whiting, and accordingly the three labor unionists = were requested to vacate their chairs which were fill- ed by others. William Robertson, the plaintiff, is forty-four vears of age. When cighteen vears of age he enlisted in that fam ous Scottish regiment, The Black Watch, with whom he served for sey- en years in Egypt and India. He came to Kingston last - Julv with the other Scotchmen from Glasgow, and entered the fitting shop of the Locopmo tive Works. After a month, he was asked to do work in the turning shop, at a wheel lathe, and did so until his dismissal on Oct. 29th. The plaintifi testified that he had sixteen years' experience in his trade as a tank and boiler fitter. He signed a contract in Scotland with defend ants, to receive X12 a week for fifty five hours' work, and again in Aug- ust signed another contract for two vears., He recounted the cirenmstances leading to his dismissal, On Saturday, October 25th, he and William Ross, while driving from Odessa to Kingston had an accident. On Monday morning he worked, but in the afternoon he sent word back that he could not work for a while, as he was injured. On the following Wednesday, when he went back he was told that his ser vives were no lenger required. He could cet no satisfactory answer as to why he had been dismissed. Part of the Scotchmen's passage monev==to Canada was deducted from their pay every fortnight. Since his dismissal he had been'unable to get employment in the city. Cross-examined, the plaintiff said he was a handv man, and not a mecha nic. Mr. Whiting - j:roduced "the con- tract signed in Scotland, in which the plaintifi had declared himself to he a competent mechanic © To defendants' counsel, witness admitted coing oul of the back gate. ones to get a drink, which was contrary to the rules.

Says 14th Band Was Not Paid For Turning Out. "The more a man does for nothing, the more he is'expected to do," re- marked a member of the 14th band Tuesday night. "And that truth ap- plies to organizations as well as in- dividuals. In the city council Monday night it was stated that the 14th band had never turned out on the occasion of the going away or the home com- ing of South African soldiers without having been paid. There is not a shadow of truth in that charge. Our band has turned out upon every such occasion, ever since the first contin- gent left in 1899--a dozen or so times --and "all we received was ¥ and that money we did not ask for, it was a free gift. Upon the announcement of the home coming of Capt. Bruce Car- ruthers, the 14th band, and, in fact the whole regiment, assembled in the armouries to greet hi the fact that he was delayed for twenty-four hours was no fault of ours; we lost a half day just the same. "Then, again, we gave our services free for a dance for the returned vet- erans, and most of us subscribed $1 cach to pay expenses connected with that affair. We also spent nearly $50 in entertaining the returned soldiers in our own rooms. It unfair and un- just to say that we did not turn out without pay in connection with the South African soldiers. As I have al- ready stated, we lost half a day ex- pecting to welcome "Capt. Cartathers, and as we are all working men, it would be unreasonable to expect us to do more. But as for receiving pay- ment for our services, that is untrue. In Mayor Minnes' time we were given 325, but that was not asked for nor expected 1 just want to add that some = of our critics in the council are in- debted to the bani for services we rendered last spring." Thinks Well Of Vessels. Capt. Thomms Donnelly speakisg in Toronto about the turrét type of ves- sels says after two months experience he is convinced they are the very best that could be built for the trade. "We have many converts to our belief in the new steamers as lake carriers, and instead of the elevators at Port Ar- thur and Fort William being nearly full of grain as at the close of other seasons, these elevators are now near- lv empty--the result to some extent of the new company's operations." When asked if the company intended increasing its fleet next season, Capt. Donnelly said: "That is a question of volicy, and is controlled by the man- ager and directors. It not likely that after such good results that the company will be content to rest on its oars. More 1 cannot say. As some of the owners of the Canadian Nor- thern said about the railways in West- ern Canada, 'there are lots more." "' is Books As Christmas Gifts.
