INDIGESTION.

Many things you fear about your stom- ach cannot be true. If you have had in- digestion or dyspepsia for years 1t is na- tural to believe that the stomach itself ls diseased. It Is only the functions of the stomach that are impaired. This Is the whole trouble in a vast majority of cases and the proof can be had by trying pr. Harter's Iron Tonic
 Your stomach has many things to do, and failure to do any one of them leads to imperfect digestion. The stomach gets its nutriment and its digestive fluids f .om the blood. If the blood IS impure or lacks the rght proportion of strength producing iron, the whole body suffers from Q klnd of breaking down process.
 To restore health you must start at the source of life itSelf-the blood-and through that vital fluid build up the stom- ach and other vital organs.
 Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic has cured thou sands of cases of indigestion and dyspep- sia every year for the past forty-five years. It is the one remedy you can take with certainty of immediate improvement and a sure cure.
 It is prepared with scientific accuracy and many eminent physicians prescribe 1t constantly. Faithful use of it will en- able you to digest your foud IS perfectly as you ever have. Prepared only by The pr Harter Medicine Co., Dayton, Ohio. Sold eXerywhszs.L CD

"They were an aristocratic cavalry. Down in Southern Indiana. at this early pioneer date. large body of horsemen were formed for defense against the Indians and outlaws that menaced the frontier settlements. In emulation of the splendid cavalry of Europe, they adopted the name of Hussars, or, as the name Is correctly pronounced - Hoozars-the letter u having the sound of double o, as can be seen by con- sulting Webster's dictionary. Imagine a large company of horsemen of all kinds of uniforms with blow horses of all sizes and colors. looking like Fa)- staffs army. and calling themselves after the brilliant and chivalrous Illus sars of the old world. It appeared ludi- crous. and the Kentuckians across the Ohio River had a world of fun over it, and every time an Indianian crossed the river he was met with an eXclama- tion, Here comes one of these-Hooz- ars!'

wELL-BRED MEXICANS.
They Are Very Tenacious of Glass
 Distinctions.

Boston Herald.
 The cultivated Mexican, birding him self on his "educacion," looks for it's manifestation in the person who claims his friendship and intimacy. He insists on good breeding among his own peo- pie, or they may not pass his thres- hold; all the more is he likely to in sist that the foreigner who would visit him be a man of polish and with the ability to say and do things the right way.
 A Mexican of excellent family was saying to me the other day that going to an interior State he had soJourned at a hacienda, where the men there as- sembled, on engineering and other mat ters. were not of his kind, and "so l did not eat at the same table" for they were not "cabelleros." or gentlemen. demanded brains and good breeding in my associates, or live alone."
 This gentleman speaks English per- fectly and reads our best authors, and he is equally well grounded in other foreign languages. He has none of that snobbish pride that offends, would not hurt another's feelings, and does not insist on nicety of dress, but does demand of his associates that fine breeding and perfect tact that charac- terize people who have inherited the courtly traditions of old Spain.
 It struck me that he went too far; that the technically trained men he met in the country were quite good enough to associate with, but to all ob- iections he would reply: They were not of my kind"
 A Mexican lady of the old nobility of the country. wealthy and of long resi- dence abroad. witty. of linguistic ac- complishments. and much social "xpe- rience in Europe as at home, sold:
 II do not invite foreigners to my ta- ble. not even diplomats, for hey are too critical of the service, and Eere, you know, that it is impossible to have such well-trained servants es m France or England. I have been hurt Tn my feelings, at my own table. at the quiet amusement of guests when something went wrong some blunder in service. And as foreigners will make TO allow ances for our domestic shortcomings, I close my doors to tham. In Paris should entertain foreigners, for there could be sure of my servants. Rut we Mexicans do not want to be laughed at. and that. perhaps. by people who are not at home, in their own coun- tries. of our class. One does not know who they gre or what is their origin.

 New York Sun:
 Several years ago a man who was wandering over the lava Ilelds Ill the pine woous, nine miles from ias ssJan, 'uiscovereu d narrow slit In the lava wnlcn appeared to lead into a lateral and mucn larger opening. The slt was wide enough for a man to squeeze his way into. At the bottom, about 20 1eet rom the surface. low chamber opened to one siae. which was found to extend about 300 feet. At the farther end the root was high enough for a man to stand erect. It was in the month of August. large bank of ice was neaped against the farther wall, but the rest of the cavern seemed to be dry.
 m the following March the cave was visited again and found to be as full of ice as it would hold. It is now source of ice supply for the hot months of summer. The ice melts away as the summer advances. but early in the sea- son there is a large amount, most of which is now utilized. The ice is split into large pieces. haled to the surface with block and tackle and carried away by the cartload. sy .e.
 In this hollow under the ground the cold air settles in the winter months, producing temperatures below the freezing point. There are times during the winter when a good deal of water runs into the cave. This is frozen sUiid, and as water continues to flow in it IS added to the frozen mass until the cave is completely filled with ice.
 There are similar ice caves in vari- GUS parts of the world. One of them is in Iowa. The Ice Trade Journal re- gently published an account of deep creyices in the basalt near Ehrenbrait- stein. Germany. where the air. even in midsummer is below the freezing point at night. and ice is constantly form ing.

 South Macon has one of the most unusual men known in this section. He is Mir.

He sits hour after hour reading his Bible, the print of which is as small as one usually sees these days. and he has never worn glasses. The most re- markable peculiarity of MT. Larry, aside from the fact that he was never beyond the limits of the State. is that he is cutting third set of teeth.

Welcome to the U. D. c. of Ala.
 The Daughters of the American Re- volution are proud to DC associated in the same paper with the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and ex- tend sincere and cordial greetings. These societies work along very similar lines. stimulated by pure and lofty mo- tives. love of country and devotion to their country's heroes. May 10th req lize the fulfillment of all their cherish ed hopes and be able to accomplish all the grand and glorious objects for which they are organized.
 Some of the Alabama D. A. R. are leaving for their usual summere trips, principally to the northern resorts. The society is large and fiourishing in that section of the country. and our women will meet numbers of intelligent, en- thusiastic Daughters, and they will dis cuSs many interesting matters relating to the work. Last summer an Alabama woman during her stay on the Hudson, visits to New York, Saratoga and other places was intimately associated with a great many D. A. R. She had been a member several years, but she came home more interested than ever in the society, and full of zeal for its pros pSTlLy. one went tO WOFk dCtlVely ana earnestly and in less than three months organized a large chapter in her city, which has doubled it's membership in SIX months. She caught the active, zealous spirit of the women she met.
 To those who go away. we say write for the D, A. R. column of The Adver- tiser.' Tell of the work the Northern women are doing; let us hear their sen- timents concerning Continental Hall - the prospect for building it--their opin- ion on reduction of representation at the Congress, biennial instead of an- nual meetings. and other important matters to come before the Congress of 1902. Those who go on summer jaunts should remember the stay-at-homes, and send letters which will slip so easily from their pens. but which will be interesting and helpful; and now that some Of the chapters are doing nothing for the summer and there will be fewer reports. let those who stay write also; the column is for the Ala bama D.

Vacations Worth the Money.

Boston Transcript.
 The statement that Americans spend from $4O0. .0O0,0O0 to $500, 600 annually on account of their Summer vacations is probably not wide of the mark It is in- teresting in so far as it is indicative of the vacation or recreation idea. People generally are coming to recognize that there Is limit to physical and mental re- sistance. and that. as Longfellow so aptly put it, one must play the part of an un- strung bow" The man who drops the working habit gets near to natures heart fin relaxing temporary exemption from business stress and strain, is the sensible man.
