w and SOCIETY

The Hillman Hospital Bazaar Is the ren- dezvous for brilliant throngs. It's second day was notably successful Throughout the morning, the afternoon and last night throngs swept through it's doors. The mati nee crowds dropped in late in the after noon, and last night when the theatres were emptied the bazaar was at it's height. The patronesses were smiling contentedly. The women presiding al the booths pro- nounced the bazaar a great financial suc- cess.
 Among the distinguished attractions at the bazaar is the Duchess of Manchester, the Duke and their pug dog. The Duchess is quite like Hallie Erminie Rives' descrip- tion of her The Duke resents the morbid curiosity he has aroused. The dog seemed hopelessly indifferent.
 The various booths were shorn of some of their beauty. Articles sold like the pro- verbal hot cakes. The candy and cake booth were in charge of the women from the Episcopal churches It was immensely popular. The decorations are pink roses. Today the women of Tempel Emanuel will be in charge In an attractively-decorated Japanese pagoda cups of foaming choco- late were served. It was just the day when one wanted chocolate. At all the booths pretty women sold everything from doll to Renaissance lace cover. There was a doll reception. The colonial chimney cor ner took a tumble and every child got souvenir. The blackbird pie was freshly made in the afternoon. There was every attraction for the little folks and they were greatly in evidence.
 Hillman Hospital bricks filled with bon bons are among the souvenirs The cafe feature is decidedly popular, The cafe is opened at noon and continues open throughout the afternoon and evening.
 The women of Temple Emanuel were in charge yesterday, and enjoyed notably successful day. Today and Thursday the cafe will be in charge of the women of the Methodist churches. The menu will be delicious one, and both the lunches, dinners and suppers will be served promptly. A bevy of charming women will take your or der. The cafe is one door below the ba- zaar There was really not an hour in the day when the tables were not crowded.
 The bazaar is extremely popular. It is the most picturesque affair ever given in Birm- ingham. With the early winter twtlights the innumerable electric lights are turned on, even earlier than those in other public places down town. The bazaara Is a blaze of light long before the streets are emptied of holiday shoppers The booths can be seen from the avenue, and thousands of pedes- trians as well as the crowds on the cars, leaving the city for the suburbs, enjoy glimpse of a glittering interior. With the dampness of late winter evening envelop ing the huge windows, the wreaths of American beauties beyond appear like mirage. From the avenue the bazaar looks like a series of Titanias' bowers in the stage production of "A Midsummer's Night Dream"

ALL RIGHT IN BISCUITS
But a Poor Medicine.

Common soda is all right in its place and indispensable In the kitchen and for cook ing and washing purposes, but soda was never intended for medicine and people who use it as such will some day regret 1t.
 The common use of soda to relieve heart burn and sour stomach is a habit which thousands of people practice, almost daily, and one which is fraught with danger soda gives only temporary relief and in the end the stomach trouble gets worse and worse.
 The soda acts as a mechanical irritant to the walls of the stomach and bowels and cases are on record where it accumulates in the intentines, causing death by in- fiammation or peritonitis.
 Dr. Harlandson recommends as the safest and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dys- pepsia) the daily use after meals of an eX- cellent preparation, sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets are large 20 grain lozenges, pleasant to the taste and containing the natural peptones and digestive elements necessary to good digestion and which all weak stomachs lack.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets used regularly after meals digest the food promptly and thoroughly before it has time to ferment, sour and poison the blood and nervous sys= tenn.
 Dr. Wuertih states that he invariably uses and recommends Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets in all forms of stomach Arrangement and finds them a certain cure, not only for sour stomach, but by causing prompt digestion of the food they create a healthy appetite, increase flesh, and strengthen the action of the heart and liver
 They are not a cathartic and contain no violent drug, but are intended only for stomach diseases and faulty digestion, and generally acknowledged to be the most re- liable cure for any stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets now enjoy an interna tional reputation and popularity and sold by druggists everywhere in the t.nd Ctat tor do nd
