----------------- MUSCLE AND NO1 FAT.
What Thin People Need to Round Off
 the Corners.

What thin folks need is flesh or muscle not fat.
 r. To be symmetrical and properly propor- toned every person should have certain amount of excess flesh, but to be plump l does not necessarily mean to be fat Fat is undesirable; 1t clogs and retards the action of the muscles, interferes with the healthy action of the heart and lungs and when very excessive, predisposes too fatty degeneration of vital organs, to say nothing of the discomfort resulting from too much adipose tissue.
 Common sense would suggest that if one wishes to become heshy and plump the thing most needed would be flesh forming food that is, albuminous foods like eggs, beef, oatmeal etc.
 The kinds of foods which make flesh are i the foods we have on our tables every day; but the trouble is that our StomachS, from weakness or derangement of some kind do not promptly and properly digest it. Really, the principal reason so many peo- pie remain thin Is because their Stomachs do not properly and completely digest and assimilate the flesh forming beefsteak and eggs we eat every day.
 There are thousands of such people, and
 they are really dyspeptics, although they
 may not suffer any particular pain or in-
 convenience from their stomachs.
 If such persons and all thin people, would
 take after their meals some simple and nat
 ural digestive, like Stuarts Dyspepsia Tah-
 lets the food would be quickly digested
 and the proper degree of plumpness very
 soon would result, because these tablets
 are prepared exactly for that purpose. They digest every variety of flesh forming
 food, which is the real reason why they so
 quickly build up and strengthen thin, dys-
 peptic men and women.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets cure every
 form of indigestion on this common sense
 plan that they thoroughly digest the food promptly, giving strength to every nerve and organ In the body, and the weakened
 stomach a chance to rest and recover its natural vigor Nothing further Is required to cure any stomach trouble, except can-
 cer of the stomach. They make thin, dys-
 peptic people strong, plum and we'll
 This excellent preparation is sold 50 cents

DEPARTMENT HAS A
 PROTEST FROM MAY
Who Claims He is UnIawfuIIy
 Detained in Guatemala
ASKS ORDER OF RELEASE
And Says That the GuatemaIan Govern ment Should Pay Him $50o0 Dam- ages for the Malicious and
 WiIlfuI Wrong. Fl

Washington, eDcember 6.-The State De- partment today received a formal protest from R. II. May, the American engineer who forcibly is detained in Guatemala against the proceedings of the officials there. May submits an affidavit through S. A. Witherspoon who he names as his attorney, MT Witherspoon's papers being dated New Orleans, December 4. May says that he is citizen of Mississippi, tempor arly residing in Guatemala where an ar bitration has just been determined in his favor by the British Minister MT. J. En- her. After that matter had been decided, May left Guatemala City and went to Port Barrios, where on the 20th ultimo, he attempted to embark on the steamer Still water of New Orleans. He had procured d passport and had appointed an attorney of record in the person of William r. Flu qua to represent him in the country in any Judicial process against him. When he (May) was elected from Guatemala Octo- Der 2S by the military authorities he owed his employees on the Northern Railroad about s12,000 Guatemala money which he was unable to pay on account of the fail- ure of the Guatemala government to pay him $143, ,750 American gold lately awarded to him.
 One James Wilkinson sued May. and se- cured a writ of detention forbidding him to leave the country until his claim was settled. May says that article 54 of de- cree 273 is the only proviso under which a person can be prevented from leaving the country, yet that article permits departure when an attorney or second is appointed. May says that he was prepared with afinal instrument, and presented to the Guate- maia officers showing that he had appoint ed such an attorney in the person of MT Fuqua. Notwithstanding this," says May, "I was forcibly seized, pulled off the gangway of the ship and thereby prevent ed from coming to the United States and was detained at Guatemala"
 An affidavit concludes with list of wit nesses to support his statements and re- quests the State Departm ent to demand his immediate release, and the payment to him of an indemnity of 5000 damages for said will and malicious wrong.

MOBILE COLLECTOR
 NOT YET APPOINTED
Frank Lathrop and Robert HouS-
 ton Strongest Candidates
A SELECTION IS DIFFICULT
Secretary Gage Recommends That the Appropriation for Anniston's Pub lie Building be Raised to $751;
 ooo-RosseIrs Report Ready.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 6-(Special)- No selection for the vacant collectorship of the port of Mobile has yet been made Therefore 1t is unlikely that the appoint ment will be made tomorrow. The two most prominent candidates are Frank La throp of Riverside, backed by National Committeeman Dimmck and most of the Alabama Republicans organization, and Robert Houston, formerly of Birmingham, but now of Mobile. MT. Houston is backed by State Chairman Vaughan and he is re- ceiving other good support. It has been difficult for selection to be made, and in fact the disputes among the Southern Re- publicans is becoming exceedingly tiresome to the President.
 Secretary Treasurer Gage has recom- mended that the cost of the public building at Anniston be raised to $75,000, an increase Of $25, ,00O, because of increased cost of ma- terials.
 Judge Rlchardsons delegation to urge im- provement of the Tennessee river appears before the rivers and harbors committee tomorrow at 10 o'clock. Alabamas repre- sentatives will be Judge Boulhac and J. c. Harris of Sheffield.
 General Wilson announces that Major RosselPs report on the Warrior and Tom bigbee rivers have been mailed. This will enable the rivers and harbors committee to make proper allotment for these improve ments
 Representative Burnett does not believe Spears, his opponent for Congress, really in tends to contest because he has absolutely no ground and would have no standing even before a Republican House. If Spears con tests, Representative Burnett believes it will be to get the money that Congress always allows a contestant
