COLONEL. NESBITT ON
GEORGIA'S STRONG POINTS

The September issue of "SoutAorn sue
cess" an Industrial magazine published at
Hartman. Tenn. contains as its leading
feature an article by Hon. X. l. NeSolt',
present commissioner Of agriculture, and
candjdate for the state senate from the
thirty-ffth district, entitled "Georgia-A
General View of the state"
The editor Of Success" has prefacod the
article with a brief and concise sketch o'
Colonel Nesbitt. Allusion IS made {" 'he
superb manner In which the agricultural
interests Of the state have been advanced
and elevated during the cooneIs -four terms
of office. The study Of agriculture ana
its numberless branches has been Colonel
Nesbftts life-work, and no man in Georgia
has so ably advised the farmers. and IN
trOduced so many improvements which have
permitted them to occupy the rank which
they boast today. Colonel NesbItt saw not
service in Cobb's legion, and at the end OF
the war he was fighting In the trenches
around Atlanta. He was born April .. 1910,
in Savannah, Ga, Of Scotch-lrish and fu-
gucnot parentage.
The description of the resources of tho
state is authentic and pithy. He points
out that there is hardly an industry or an
occupation in which Georgia does not out
rank her sister states. and to support this
assertion he offers the best possible eVi-
dencc-the opinion Of visitors who have
given the matter thorough inVestiga ton
ana who speak from the vantage ground Of
observation and impartIality. Colonel
Nesbitt eloQuenUy declares that nowhere
are to be found mauIior men and purer
and more charming women than in the
souths Empire State. He calls atteut Oh

SPANISH HONOR.
An Example of 1t Is Given mt Mn

Kansas City, Mo-, April 11.-With vile
insults. Kisses jeers and cat-calls the
Spanish rabble, led by gold-bedecked Of
ficers, met the great Vests contribution
j, 900 tons of food-sent to the starving
Cubans at MatanZas.
Two representatives of the Kansas
City Star, who accompanied the expe-
dition to MatanZas, were subjected to
every humiliating indignity except act
ual violence. Their escape from severe
treatment is due to their GOODNESS and
courage in boldly facing the rabble as
they marched back to the wharf, where
they were taken of in a boat to the
ship Utstein, which conveyed them to
Cuba. That Richardson and Curtiss are
alive today is due also, in a large
measure. to the, GOODNESS and decision of
Consul Brice at Matanzas. When he
heard that a plot had been laid to kill
the Americans, he ordered Richardson
and Curtiss back to the ship, and sent,
a special messenger to Consul General
Lee at Havana, asking for protection
He notified the authorities at Matanzas
that the United States Government
would swiftly punish any person or per-
sons who dared to lay a finger on the
Americans. ~

DOUBTS THE RESURRECTION.
Rev. Hugh Pentecost Thinl<e the
Probabilities Are Against IL.

New York. April lin Carnegie Music
Hall yesterday morning the Rev. Hugh o.
Pentecost preached on "The Real Resur-
rection from the Dead" He said in part:
did Jesus Christ rise from the dead?
To Christians the answer is important,
for their faith hangs upon il. To me 1t
is interesting but not important. Ordi-
nary human experience is against the
resurrection. The Apostles doubted it
even while, it is said, they looked upon
the risen Christ. Paul wrote the fifteenth
HAPPIER of the Corinthians to quiet the
doubts of the early church. Can We then
be blamed for doubling it?
1.-The transformation in the character
of the Apostles after the alleged resur-
rection Is the strongest evidence in its
favor The probabilities are against il,

HEALTH CATECHISM.
To BE Committed TO Memory by All
Dyspeptics, InVaIids, COnsump-
lives

What is the first cause OF nine-tenths
of all disease?
Imperfect digestion of food.
Why does imperfect digestion cause
disease of other organs?
Because blood. nerves. muscles bone
and flesh are derived from the food we
eat and digest. If digestion is perfect the
blood is pure nerves and muscles strong.

blood is supplied from half-digested, fer
menting food. irritating every nerve and
organ. The result is, sooner or later or
ganic disease, because every organ be-
ing poorly nourished the weakest gives
way first and we have liver trouble, kid
ney complaints, heart disease or con-
sumption.
Is not dieting the usual and best treat
ment to cure Indigestion?
No, because the dyspeptic has been
starved long enough; what is needed is
abundant nourishment. not the lack of it,
The stomach and blood demand nutri-
ment, not bran crackers.
What is the best method Of cure?
Plenty OF wholesome food well di-
eested.
But how can a weak stomach digest
plenty of wholesome food?
BY taking with the rood after each
meal certain harmless remedies which
are known to digest food and thus nour-
fish the blood and rest the weak stomach
What are these harmless remedies?
The most valuable are vegetable fer
ments. pure pepsin. Golden Seal and
fruit salts. All of these are now combin-
ed in the form of pleasant tasting tab
lets sold by druggists under the name Of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Are these tablets superior to the va
rious liquid preparations so-called dys-
pepsia cures?
Most decidedly. because all liquid med
icines become stale with age and lose
whatever good qualities they may have
had originally while the tablet retains
fits properties indefinitely. Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets can be carried in the
pocket always at hand ready for use
when travelling or at daily occupation
They cost but so cts. and should be kept
in every family. They keep the diges-

Are Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets adapt
ed TO all forms of Dyspepsia?
