DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its Exces
 sve Use.

Common soda Is all right in its place and indispensable in the kitchen and for cooking and washing purposes, but it was never intended for medicine, and people who use it as such will some day regret it.
 We refer to the common use of soda to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit which thousands of people practice almost daily, and one which is fraught with dan ger; moreover the soda only gives tenn porary relief and in the end the stomach trouble gets worse and worse.
 The soda acts as mechanical irritant to the walls of the stomach and bowels and cases are on record where it accumulated in the intestines, causing death by infiam- nation peritonitis.
 Dr. Harlandson recommends as the saf est and surest cure for sour stomach (acd dyspepsia) an excellent preparation sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets. These tablets are large twenty grain lozenges, very pleasant to taste and contain the natural acids, pep tones and digestive elements essential to good digestion, and when taken after meals they digest the food perfectly and prompt ly before 1t has time to ferment sour and poison the blood and nervous system.
 Dr. Wuerth states that he invariably uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of stomach Arrangements and finds them a certain cure not only for sour stomach but by promptly digesting the food they create a. healthy appetite, increase flesh and strengthen the action of the heart and liver. They are not a cathartic, but in tended only for stomach diseases and weakness and will be found reliable in any stomach trouble except cancer of the ston- ach All druggists sell Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets at 50 cents per package

National Educational Association.

, Chattanooga, Tenn. Feb. 22.-The depart ment of superintendence, National Edu- cational association, began it's annual meeting in Chattanooga this morning. About 1,200 educators from various parts of the country are in attendance and the meeting gives promise of being highly suc- cessful. The opening session was called to order at 10 clock this morning by Presi- dent Schaefer, of Harrisburg, Pa. Ad- dresses of welcome were delivered on be- half of Chattanooga by Mayor Watkins, and on behalf of Tennessee by State Su- perintendent of Public Instruction Hon. Price Thomas, of Nashville. An eloquent response was delivered by Hon. Henry Houck, of Pennsylvania. The regular or der of business was then begun by State Superintendent Baxter, of New Jersey, with a paper on the 'Township High School. This paper was discussed at length, the discussion being led by State Superintendent Emery, of Wisconsin, and State Superintendent Stetson, of Maine. This afternoon 'Educational Problems in the South" formed the sole topic of discus sion.

born and will remain so while the
same blood is in him. AT least, |
hope lie will. This chiyalry finds its
most noticeable outlet ia the South
erner's attitude toward women. Now
and then in the old days she struggled
brayely to get down, but he would not
let her. He objects to the lev wo-
man, not because he fears her compe-
titi0n, but because he thinks she is
not true to herself. The Southerncr's
feeling for woman is a queer mixture
of passion and respect. He regards
her as something TO be loved, to be
cherished, to be protected. He can
not get we the belief that she is fra
gile, and he cannot be convinced that
abe is able to withstand hard knocks.
re him all women are pure until de-
monstratcd otherwise, and they are to
be treated with deep respect. They
are made Of finer clay, and are, in
fact, Il superior order of being.
1t is one Of the strongest tributes
to the worth Of Southern motherhood
that Southern sons grow up in this
belief, and it never leaves them. If
IA mar imprudently attempt TO decry
womanh0od to a SOutherner that
SOutherner's mind ~instinctively goes
back to his mother, and be is apt to
enforce his disbelief with the strong
arm. Marriages are very happy in
the South and there are few divorces.
Indeed, in the lower Carolina there is
no such thing as divorce. Betrayals
are rare. Suits for breach of promise
are practically unknown. Invasions
Of the household seldom occur. A
Southerner who sned a man for dam
ages for alternating his wife's affections
simply could not live 10 the country.
In every Southern home stands the
silent sentinel Of the flrcsidc- the
