A Few Thoughts and Suggestions as TO

MINE WORKERS
 HAVE NEW OFFICERS.

District 20. United Mine Workers since 1t resolved to place its vice-president and secretary treasurer on salary, in addition to the president has made an innovation in headquarters by moving into more commodious and office-like rooms in the Shalifoux building. Here the president and secretary-treasurer have separate of fees with many conveniences
 Labor organizations recognize the neces- sity for headquarters where their execu- tive business can be transacted. All mat ters are becoming to be attended to with system and precision. The affairs of 10000 men are no small things to handle, and in round numbers that is what Dis trict 20 has. But only two years ago the district had no headquarters and the officers kept their records at home and in their pockets and it was not always an easy matter to transact business with despatch. George w. Young of Blocton was their president and he recommended that an office be rented in Birmingham. small room on the third floor of the Simon building was secured but now the district goes into nice offices in a nice building.

CHRISTMAS FOUND
 WORKERS IN GOOD SHAPE.
CONDUCTED BY B. ". BRUMLEY

This has been an off week in the or ganized labor world caused by the holi- days and the near approach of the nrst of the year, when the majority of the unions will elect officers. it being seldom that decisive action is taken just before this event.
 Santa Claus has held high carnival, and the little men and women who will com pose the unions of the future have played havoc with many toy and many day s pay. Christmas found the working peo- pie in better condition than did the last from the fact that wages have been bet ter and work steadier in the Birmingham district and no expensive struggles in Alabama
 This Is gratifying and is a Compliment to. the. organizations of capital and to the organizations of labor, as both have prospered and improved, into which a better underst anding enters largely. May an equal progress be made next year.

MACHINiSTS TO
 GIVE NEW YEAR BALL.

The Christmastide with its cheer and festivities, is to be frightened in social way by a New Years Eve ball and en- tertainment to be given by Machinists' Union No ', at Magnolia Hall, Tuesday night, for the benefit of their striking comrades The struggles of these men, who have held steadfastly to what they believed was right to secure nine-hour day and a better wage scale, are so well known that they need little repeating. But it may be well to recall that on May 20 of this year a universal demand was made for a nine-hour day and increased pay. The Southern and Alabama Great Southern Railroad machinists could not secure any concessions and walked out. A large number are still walking about and keeping up the strike, while others have found temporary employment. The strike has cost money, and to raise funds a number of entertainments have been arranged, all of which were sue cessful. The entertainment on New Years Eve Is to be more elaborate than any before, and at the same time the money goes to a good cause at an appro- priate time.
 The programme for the entertainment  is as follows:
 Piano selection-Miss Susie Nall.
 Recitation-Miss Myrtle Foster.
 Piano solo-Julian Maroney
 Recitation-Miss Flora Shingelbower.
 Song-Mr. Charles A Bell.
 Violin solo-Mr. William Cason.

Heart trouble, at least among the Am ericans, is certainly increasing and while this may be largely due to the excitement and worry of American business life, 1t is more often the result of weak stom- achs, of poor digestion.
 Real organic disease in incurable; but not one case in a hundred of heart trou- ble Is organic.
 The close relation between heart trou- ble and poor digestion is because both organs are controlled by the same great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneumogas- tris.
 In another way also the heart is affected by the form of poor digestion, which causes gas and fermentation from half digested food. There is a feeling of op- pression and heaviness in the chest caus- ed by pressure of the distended stom- ach on the heart and lungs, interfering with their action; hence arises palpitation and short breath.
 Poor digestion also poi5ons the blood, making 1t thin and watery which irri- tates and weakens the heart
 The most sensible treatment for heart trouble is to improve the digestion and to insure the prompt assimilation of food.
 This can be done by the regular use after meals of some safe, pleasant and effective digestive preparation like Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores, and which contains valuable. harmless digestive ele- ments in a pleasant. convenient form.
 It is safe to say that the regular per- sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stom- ach trouble except cancer of the stom- ach.

Mrs. Lydia Bartram, of Assyria. Mich. writes: 'I have suffered from stomacl trouble for ten years and five dineren doctors gave me only temporary relief A Mir E. R. Page advised me to tr5 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and foul boxes did me more permanent benefit thar all the doctors medicine that I have ever taken.
 Mrs G. H. Crotsley, 53S Washington St, Hoboken, New Jersey, writes: Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets just fill the bill for children as we'll as for older folks. I've had the best of luck with them. My three year-old girl takes them as readily as candy. I have only to say tablets and she drops everything else and runs for them.'
 Miss Leila Dively, 4627 Plummer St., Pittsburg, Pa, Writes: T wish everyone to know how grateful am for Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets. I suffered for long time and did not know what ailed me I lost flesh right along until one day I noticed an advertisement of these tablets and immediately bought a 90 cent box at the drug store I am only on the second box and am gaining in flesh and color. I have at last found something that has reached my aliment."
 Phil Brooks, Detroit, Mich.. says: Your dyspepsia cure has worked wonders in my case suffered for years from dyspepsia but am now entirely cured and enjoy life as I never have before. I gladly recom- mend them"

He thinks we'll of the work of the convention and of the treatment accorded the delegates at Scranton He is glad the convention is going to New Orleans next year. MT. Mosley will make his report at the next meeting of the Council.
 Many in and out of organized labor circles will be grieved to hear that the name of H. w. Andrews, printer, ap- peared on the death roll of the last issue of the Typographical Journal. He was we'll and favorably known in Birming- ham. where he held cases for several years. He took an active interest in the affairs of Typographical Union 104, rep resented the body in the Trades Council several terms and served faithfully on committee work. He was thrown out in the job printers trouble last year and went to Atlanta, where he died of con- sumption.
 An old-timer of whom good news has been waited to Birmingham Is Maurice I've of the Iron Holders. He has for saken the sand for the editorial sanctum and is now running a labor paper at Charlotte, N C., and is doing organizing work He has had much success with the Textile Workers, a national organiza- tion which has but recently been formed.
