Norfolk People Coming.
Especial Dispatch to The Time

Especial Dlspatch 10 Inc IineS.l
NORFOLK, VA, Oct. 5.-Interest in the
approaching Carnival .at Richmond has
measurably increased hereabouts within
the last day or so. Norfolk is not easily
stirred, but within the past few days
there has been talk among society people
of forming parties to visit Richmond dur
ing the Carnival. and q strong desire to
see the Horse Show is manifested.
The low rates announced by the various
railroads has contributed to the Carnival
boom and these will doubtless bear fruit.
Richmond is so easily reached by Nor
folk people that to visit the Capital is but
a matter of a couple of hours or so. and
the probabilities are that the Carnival
crowd will be largely leavened with Nor
folk folk, especially Norfolk society peo-
pie.
Norfolk people rarely hurry. but. that
they arrive when there is any good thing
going is a matter of history, and history
may be expected. to. as usual, repea itself
when the Carnival shall have opened

and meats is undoubtedly the best. in
spite of the claims made by vegetarians
and food crankS generally.
AS compared with grains and vegetables,
meat furnishes the most nutriment in q
highly concentrated form and is digested
and assimiated more quickly than veGe-
tables or grains
DR.. Julius Remusson on this subject
says: Nervous persons, people run down
in health and of low vitality should eat
plenty of meat. II the digestion is too
feeble at first it may be easily strength
ened by the regular use of Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets after each meal Two OF
these excellent tablets taken after dinner
will digest several thousand grains of
meat, eggs or other animal food in three
or four hours, while the malt diastase
also contained in Stuarts Tablets cause
the perfect digestion of starchy foods, like
potatoes bread, etc. and no matter now
weak the stomach may be-. no trouble will
be experienced if a regular practice is
made Of using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
diastase so necessary to perfect digestion,
and any form of indigestion and stomach
trouble except cancer Of the stomach will
be overcome by their daily use.
That large class of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and insure its
complete digestion by the systematic use
of safe. harmless digestive medicine
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, composed
of the Natural digestive principles. pep-
tones and diastase which actually per-
form the work of digestion and give the
abused stomach a chance to rest and to
furnish the body and brain with the ne
cessa1y nutrment. Cheap cathartic- med
icines masquerading under the name Of
dyspepsia cures are useless for relief or
cure of Indigestion, because they have
absolutely no effect upon the actual di-
gestion of food.
nvspepsia in all its forms is simply a
failure of the stomach to digest food aud
the sensible way to solve the riddle and
cure the indigestion is to make daily r1ep
at meal time of a safe preparation which
is endorsed by the medical profession and
known to contain active digestive prnci-
pies and all this can truly be said of
