Three Pine Bluff Boys Leave for the Keys to JO1n the
 Navy.

Gone to join the navy. Three Pine Bluff young men left this city Thurs day for Key West to join the Ameri- can navy. They are Albert Wolf, Charley Heck and James Vowell.
 The young men have been in cor respondence for some time with Mir. Barton J. Morris. another Pine Bluff boy who is a member of the crew of the battleship Iowa, now a part of the North Atlantic squadron anchor ed near the Florida Keys, and it is thought that Mir. Morris has secured for his former comrades a position in the United States navy. Certain it is that the boys left with that in- tention. So far as the GRAPHIC reporter could learn the young men did not diyulge their plans tefore their departure, but enough is known to declare it us their intention to join Uncle Sam's navy. or in the event of their failure in that regard, to make their way to Cuba and join the insuI gent army.

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and
 Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans is indigestion or in it's chronic form, dyspepsia, and for the very reason that it is SO common many people neglect taking proper treatment for what they consider trifling stomach trouble, when as a matter of fact, in- digestion lays the foundation for many iucurable diseases. No person with a vigorous, healthy stomach will fall a victim to consumption. Many kidney diseases and heart troubles date their beginning from poor digestiOn; thin, nervous people are really so because their stoinachs are out of gear; weary, languid, fad ed out women owe their condition to imperfect digestion.
 When nearly every person. you meet is afflicted Wirh weak digestion it is not surprising that nearly every se- cret patent medicine on the market claims to be d cure for dyspepsia, as well as q score of other troubles, when in fact, as Dr Werthier says, there is but one GENUINE dyspepsia cure which is perfectly sAFE and RE- LAB E, and moreover this remedy is not patent medicine. but it is a scientific combination of pure pepsin Gree from animal matter), vegetable essences, fruit salts and bismuth. 1t is sold by druggists under name of Stewards Dyspepsia Tablets. No extrayagant claims are made for them, but for indigestion or any stomach trouble. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are far ahead of any remedy yet discovered, They act on thefood aafan m dintino iS npcpSsarv aimDIv eat all the wholesome food you want and these tablets will digest it. A cure results, because all the stomach needs is rest. which Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets give by doing the work of digestion.
 Druggists sell these tablets at 50 cents per package. Little book on stomach diseases and testimonials sent free by addressing Stuart Co.,, chemists, Marshall, Mich.
