Jfta been the very foundation of . Anglo-Saxon progress. '*

. Individual ipljdatiye, responsibility! 'a n d accdmplishment have been the dis-|

Our limited; experience in municipal I ownership and operation, I t Seems to I me, has demonstrated beyond a ques­tion the wastefulness of th is method of production.

Help Nature to Cure Your Stomach Trouble.

i& ubara Tablets are composed of pure vegetable stomach tonics. They con­tain Vbb harm ful ingredients. Their action is prompt, and the relief ob­tained from their use is astonishing.

I f ‘•you have a lull ness in the stomach ,’after eating, a feeling as if a weight w as in your stomach, belching up gass, or sour stomach, chew up one of these tab lets and swallow it. Their.effect is m arvelous.

K ubara Tablets were invented by a physician who himself was a Victim of aton ic dyspepsia. ' He sought relief in vain froth the ordinary drugs. Still he w en t on from bad ' to worse, un til by ]3da own 1 ngenuity he h it upon the hap-, p y Combination o f , aram atic tonics' which compose the Kubt^ra Tablets, r F b r over twentyrfive years this physi­cian has. made and prescribed those tab lets in h is private practice. H aving pared ilimself, he c u r e d thouSands w hep everything else bad failed.-

K ubara Tablets do not arttdlfially d i­gest your food as most stomach remi- diea' a re suppoaad to do, but they s treng then the stomach and .help nature to cure you. This is the only perm a­n e n t cure.;. The$ K ubara Tablet Company, No. 69? Oak street, Columbus, Ohio, will sCnd you a largp size sam ple of the Ku-
