AUTOMOBILE Clubs Squabble Over
Racing Matters.

New York, Dec. 19.-The Herald prints
the following:
Discussion is general among auto
mobilistS as regards the possibility of
a national association of automobile
clubs being formed to control racing
and motor vehicle sport in opposi-
ton to the jurisdiction assumed by the
Automobile club of America 1t is
claimed by opponents of the ~affiliation
scheme of the Automobile club of Amer
lea that the Bridgeport, Syracuse and
New Jersey clubs alone had approved
Mr.. Albert r Shattuck, president Of
the Automobile club of America, said:
We maintain that we are the national
organization and as such should control
racing. We are recognized as such by
the foreign clubs and we are empowered
to pass upon the eligibility of all Amer
lean entries to international contests.
Outside Of this we are the pioneer or
ganization and We have exercised ma
tiOnal functions by securing the pass
g of laws for the good Of automo-
billing, such as the gasoline on ferry
boat act
We promoted the great endurance
run to Buffalo. and the race meets of
the country have been run under our
auspices We are not willing to enter
any association of clubs. We do not
think a club of fifteen members should
have a vote equal in power to hat of
q club of our membership and standing
We do not believe that racing and the
sport generally could be as well con-
trolled by an association as by a metro
pOitan body like ours
The British and French m
clubs have a much larger membership
than ours: but London and Paris are the
centerS of those countries We are per
fectly willing to give foreign racing Gre
dentials to all Members of the clubs de-
serving of them. A majority of the clubs
invited to join in our affiliation scheme
has already accepted"
Mr. A r. P~artington, a governor and
leading spirit of the Long Island Automo-
bile club. said his club had taken action
IN favor of an association as opposed to
an utilization with the Automobile Club of
America 1T is unfair said he, ito the
Long Island and Chicago clubs to say
that the opposition to the afi1iation
scheme is led by them. They are only
two OF a good many, and have not enough
to pose as leaders of the opposition. Our
club believes that the entire sport of au-
romObiling should be controlled by a ma
tional federation of clubs"

INVEST MILLIONS.
British Capitalists Make Deal
in Texas Oil.
Will Ship From Port Arthur
Direct to European Ports.

New York, Dec. 19.-An important
deal is stated to have just been consum-
mated whereby British capitalists have
acquired more substantial interest in
the Texas oil fields and will ship large
quantities of oil to the European mar
kets, says the Journal of Commerce.
The capitalists referred to are repre-
scented by the Roche-Suart syndicate,
LondOn This syndicate is said to have
purchased the Hogg-Swayne property,
on which it is claimed about three
eighthS of producing wells at Beaumont
are located. The purchase price is sta
ted to have been in the neighborhood of
S6, 1000. 900.
The crude oil will be carried by pipe
line from the Texas fields to Port Ar
thur, a distance of o 20 miles, where
it will be shipped by British tank
steamers to various parts of Europe.
Eleven steamers, representing a ton
mage of 20, ZOO, varying in capacity from
5000 barrels to $4,000 barrels. will be
employed in the service. The first roy
age is scheduled to be made from Port
Arthur, February 10, when a cargo of
5000 barrels of crude oil will be ex-
ported to Cette, for Spanish refining
purposes. 1t is also proposed to send
regular consignments to Rouen and
Havre, France, also to Middlesboro-on-
Tees and london, Eng
It is claimed that the oil can be AR
ried to Europe at a cheaper rate than
it can be at present shipped to Balti-
more, Philadelphia, New York, or Bos-
ton 1t is said that it will be conveyed
across the Atlantis for 25 cents a bar
rel.
The Roche-Suart syndicate has already
issued contracts for h construction of
storage tanks of large capacity, pipe
lines from the oil fields to Port Arthur
and for the building of a refinery at that
place, which in all will entail an expen-
diture of nearly $500, 900. In the Port Ar
thur refinery, which will be in operation
by February. / and ill have a daily ca
pacity of 5000 barrels. solar oil will be
turned out for London gas companies who
intend to utilize it for the purpose of en-
riching the qualities of their gas.
In addition to it's shipment of oil abroad
the British concern proposes to ask all
most i~mmenditely for a ruling from the
United States circuit court to show cause
why they can not utilize a British steam
tug to haul American barges with oil
Philadelphia. New York. Boston. etc They
are said to have already contracted with
American ship building concerns for the
construction of four barges-two of 1900
barrels capacity each and the remainder
They propose to utilize the British ocean
going steam tug St0rmick, which is 1900
horse power. 44 1f

give 1t a rest. There is only one other way,
and that is to do the stomach's work for it.
There are q great many preparations that
will aid the digestion of food. Some of
them help digest starchy foods, such as
bread and potatoes and cereals; others help
such as eggs and meat and cheese. Most
OF these preparations are good as far as they
go, but they do not go far enough. Nature
demands a generous and varied diet, and
we eat must be thoroughly
digested. Partial digestion may relieve for
g time, but it cannot cure dyspepsia.

these things has beer a perplexing problem,

couIdn'f Live without one.

The whole trouble lies in the stomach,
that's plain enough. But we can't afford to
remove the stomach and we can't afford to
let it be destroyed by disease. 1t is the
most important organ of the body and we
couldn't live wfthout it.
The stomach prepares the food for making
the blood that nourishes every organ and
tissue of the body. Without good, rich
blood the heart becomes weak, the lungs
break down, the liver becomes choked and
the kidneys are strained beyond endurance.
There is no disease, except the consequence
of injury, that is not directly caused or
aggravated by disorders Of the stomach.

BY intricate experiments and laboratory
work it was found possible to combine, in
exact proportions, all the digestants natural
ly used in the digestion of the various
classes of foods and to unite with them the
organic substances required to build up the
exhausted tissues. \
These Investigations were especially con-
Quoted for the purpose of devising a prep
aration which by its presence in the stomach
and alimentary tract, would completely re-
1ieve the digestive organs from work by di-
costing whatever class of foods might be
