} was done but it may have beer
done or might be done in the flu

A spirited discussion then en-.

1T CANT BE DONE
No One Can Remain Well, No Chronic
Disease Can BE Cured Unless the
Stomach is First Made Strong
and Vigorous


This is plain because every or.
gan in the body depends on the
stomach for nourishment. Nerve,
bone, sinew, blood are made from
the food which the stomach con-
verts to our use.
How useless to treat disease
with this, that and the other
remedy and neglect the most inn
portant of all, the stomach.
The earliest symptoms of indi-
gestion are sour risings, bad
taste in the mouth, gas IN the
stomach and bowels. palpitation,
all-gone feeling, faintness, head
aches, constipation; later comes
loss of flesh, consumption, liver
and heart troubles, kidney dis
eases, nervous prostration, all of
which are the indirect result of
poor nutrition.
Any person suffering from indi-
gestion should make it practice
to take after each meal one of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, al
lowing it to dissolve in the mouth
and thus mingle with the saliva
and enter the stomach in the
most natural way. These Tablets
are highly recommended by DR..
Jennison because they are COM
posed of the natural digestive
acids and fruit essences which as
slst the stomach in digesting all
wholesome food before 1t has time
to ferment and sour.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
sold by druggists, full sized pack
ages at so cents. They are ex-
cellent for lnvalids and children.

The Council Meeting

The city council met in regular
session last night with the fol-
lowing members present: Presi-
ident Davis and Councilmen Del

StOn and Carmichael.
The minutes of the previous
meeting were read and APP
proved.
w. w. Clyatt. representing
the Atlanta B. q L. Association,
asked for rebate on tax certifi-
Gates for three years on the C..
NJ. Brown property, on which the
association holds a mortgage.
Referred to the finance commit
tee.
w. S. Spar, by E. L. Spar,
agent, asked to be allowed to re-
deem tax certificates on some
outlying city property for sale
of 1867. Referred to the fl
nance committee.
Sabel Brothers made a bid of
cents per pound for scrap brass
and 10 cents per pound tor scrap
copper, owned by the city. Re-
ferred to the light and water
committee, but later on the bid
was accepted.
The bids for publishing the de-
linquent tax sales for the city for
1898, and for publishing ordi-
nances, proclamatlons, etc., for
the ensuing year were then
opened. The Stars bid on the
tax sale was so cents per double
column nonpareil inch in the
Daily; Daily and Weekly, So
cents; Daily and Weekly, and to
furnish one copy to each sub
scriber of the Banner and Free
Press, GO cents. On proclama-
tions, ordinances, ETC., 10 cents
per nonpareil inch for each inser-

On motion the bids were re-
ferred to the finance committee,
to report at meeting of the
council to be set for an early
date. But the body forgot to
set the date. The omission was
discovered when part had scat
tered, and President Davis tried
vainly to gather quorum
again.
Mrs. Smith appeared and asked
the council to refund pound fees
on two calves that escaped by
accident. The fees were ordered
refunded.
The matter of the bond cleo
ton ordinance was discussed and
action deferred until Judge Nc
Conathy should be present with
the original draft of the ordi-
nance, as it was known that the
Judge has been making exhaust
i've research into the bond and
scrip Atter.
Under the head of unfinished
business, the election of a city
marshal was taken up. j. d.
Williams, the present incumbent,
and Allen Rogers were the can
diGates. On the first ballot,
Williams received 4 and Rogers
2 votes. On the second ballot
the vote stood 3 for each. After
the sixth ballot, which averaged
about the same, upon motion Of
Carmichael, the election Of all
unelected officers was postponed
until the next regular meeting,
and the large audience that had
assembled to hear the result,
quickly dispersed.

New York, March 24-Thc fact that money was slightly easier today. call rates ranging from 4@41s per cent, lent conf- dence to operators and gave the market strong tone most of the day. Another inn portant influence on quotations was a pre- diction that because of the curtailment in loans supposed to have taken place this week the banks would be able to show an increase in surplus reserve tomorrow.
 Buying of Brooklyn Rapid Transit, which lifted it 51s, and Peoples Gas, which gain ed nearly a point, had a sentimental in- fuence because of the prominence of the parties concerned in recent operations for a rise. The railways were not quite as ac- tive as yesterday, but dealings in grangers improved them fractionally and Pacifcs were trifie higher.
 Consolidated Gas lost Sai, and Third Avenue 4q6 points the fear that they will not secure desired legislation. There were fractional losses, too, in Metropolitan Street Railway and Continental Tobacco, while in Sugar the loss was 1%. Among the coalers, Lackawanna and Jersey Central rose over a point each, while the Readings were practically unchanged.
 Among the railways, Southern preferred and Louisville and Atchison preferred im- proved over point each. The activity in Louisville started in London and aroused a brisk local demand. The explanations that the Westinghouse suit against the General Electric company was of friend- ly nature continued to benefit General Elec- tric today, which rose a point Rubber and Chicago Terminal were also strong and gained over point each.
 drive at Burlington in the late deal- ings reduced its extreme gain over point and exercised an unsettled affect on the general markt. This stock, however, to- ward the end, spurted up again and made a gain of one-half Elsewhere there was some hesitation and the market ended with an easier tendency.
 A good business was transacted in bonds today, the aggregate being $S,955OO Prices moved up pretty generally, with decided strength in Standard Rope incomes.

 Birmingham. March A.-The stock mar ket was strong, with the dealings better and more varied than for some time. The belief that the money pinch was about over and that many weak accounts had been liquidated in the last thirty days and the revival of the export demand for wheat were two influences which exerted a buli- ish interest among the special movements. B. R. T. attracted attention by maximum rise of A per cent Pennsylvania rose over a point Consolidated Gas suffered break on the defeat of the Astoria gas bill.
