There are thousands of people in this world who eat no meat from one years s end to another, and certain savage tribes in Africa and Polynesia are almost ex- clusively meat eaters; but while there are thousands of these there are millions who live upon a mixed diet of meat. vegeta- bles and grains and If numbers Is crite- rion 1t would seem that a mixed diet Is the best for the human family.
 The fact that you will find many vege- tarians who appear healthy and vigorous and meat eaters equally so, and any number of robust specimens who eat both meat and vegetables and anything else that comes their way all goes to show that the old saw Is the true one, that every man must be law to himself as to what he shall eat and drink.
 To repair the waste of tissue in brain workers as well as to replace the muscle and sinew of the laborers, can only be done through the process of digestion.
 Every nerve, muscle, sinew, every drop of blood is extracted from the food we eat and digest.
 In these days of hustle anC worry, and artificial habits of life, scarcely one per son in a thousand can lay claim to a per- feet digestion; dyspepsia is a national
 
 a national blessing.
 Most cases of poor digestion are caused by failure of the stomach to secrete suffi- cient gastric juice, or too little Hydro chloric acid and lack of peptones and all of these important essentials to per feet digestion are found in Stuarts Dys- pepsia Tablets in convenient palatable form.
 The great English Scientist, Huxley, said the best start in life is a sound stom- ach Weak stomachs fail to digest food properly because they lack the proper quantity of digestive acids Qactic and hydrochloric) and peptogenic products; the most sensible remedy In all cases of indigestion is to take after each meal one or two of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets be- cause they supply in a pleasant, harmless form all the elements that weak stomachs lack.
 One or two of these tablets taken after meals insure perfect digestion and as- similation of the food.
 Cathartic pills and laxative medicines have no effect whatever in digesting food and to call such remedies a cure for dys- pepsia is far fetched and absurd.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain pep sin free from animal matter, disease and other digestives, and not only digest all wholesome food, but tend to increase the flow of gastric juices and by giving the weak stomach much needed rest bring about a healthy condition of the digestive organs and a normal appetite.

THE GREAT HUXLEY.

1 should bear in mind. that drugs and stim- ulants cannot furnish good blood, strong muscles and steady nerves; these come only from wholesome food, thoroughly digested; fifty-cent box of Stuart's Tab lets taken after meals for a few weeks will do you more real good than drugs, stimulants and dieting combined. Henry Kirkpatrick of Lawrence, Mass says: Men and women whose occupa- ton precludes an active outdoor life should make 1t daily practice to use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals l have done so myself and know posi- lively that l owe my present health and vigor to their daily use.
 From the time was 22 when I grad uated from school with broken health from overwork until was 34 I scarcely knew what 1t was to be free from stom- ach weakness. I had no appetite what ever for breakfast and very little for any other meal.
 "I had acidity and heartburn nearly every day and sometimes was alarmed by irregularity and palpitation of the heart, but all this gradually disappeared after l began using Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and I can eat my meals with relish and satisfaction which I had not known since was a growing boy"

The Republics new furnace at Thomas
 will be ready to go in blast some time in
 April probably between the 18th and goth.
 The Sloss-Sheffield Company's No. 2 city
 and its Lady Ensley at Sheffield will be
 ready for the torch the latter part of
 April.
 The Alabama Consolidated Coal and
 Iron Company's two furnaces at Ironaton
 are turning out about 260 tons a day and | its furnace at Gadsden about 140 tons a
 day, making the company's daily output
 400 tons
 l It Is said that when the Baltimore direc-
 tors of the Alabama Consolidated were
 here last week a large block of the com | panys stock was bought by one of the
 party from a man who had received it | in exchange for certain of the properties.
 This accounts for the jumping up of quo- | tations.
 | Since the Consolidated was organized in
 1899 very little of the stock has changed | hands. The transaction last week is said | to have been the only one of any i'm | portance. The price paid for the stock | Is not stated The preferred was quoted Saturday at 30 bid and 100 asked, but persons who are close to the directors
 say there is none here to speak of for sale.
 There Is a block of stock In the East
 which the Alabama Consolidated syndi- cate will probably buy" said a broker. If this Is done all the stock of the com pany-S5. GOO, ,000-will be owned by a syndi- cate composed of only about a dozen
 men. one of this syndicate being John Skelton Williams. The company will be in an exceptionally strong position in case 1t ever saw fit to deal with another
 corporation"
 The Iron Age reports that of the 334 | furnaces in the United States, 254 of them were in blast March 1, with total week. ly capacity of 721 tons. Alabama is credited with 2S furnaces in blast, with a weekly capacity of 2456s tons.

MONEY ORDERS ID
 BE PAID BY BANKS
MT. Wilson Explains 0bjet Is of
 New Association
WILL BE GREAT BUSINESS
Banks VIII Recover Much of the Busi- ness Taken Away from Them by the Express Companies and
 the Government.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 16.-The move ment by the bankers of the country for a universal money order system which was decided upon in detail at the meeting of the representatives of the Bankers Asso- citation of the different states in New York Saturday, President Medford Will son of the Capitol National Bank said tonight:
 'The object of the Money Order Asso- citation Is to come in competition with the express companies in carrying small money orders which tend to take the bus mess away from the banks, where 1t properly belongs, instead of giving it to them. The association plan will restore to the bankers much of the business in this line which Is now being done by the government through the postof1ce.
 ''The general scheme is to have a uni versal money order issued by bankers which will be honored at any bank where the order may be presented without cost or inconvenience"
 The plan originated, Mir. Wilson said about a year ago with some of the large banks in New York. Correspondence was begun and the plan was so generally fla vored that a meeting of the secretary or representative of each State Bankers As- sociation was called for Saturday when the details of the plan were further con- sidered and decided upon, but have not been made public as yet. MT. Wilson said he thought the plan would be carried into execution this year.
 "The idea said he, lis to charge one tenth of one per cent for the money or der on small amounts which IS about one third the charge of the expess companies and much less than the charge made by the government The universal bankers money order system will also be much simpler and much more convenient than the government money order system. The money order is to be payable at amy place in the United States without trou- ble as to Identification, genuinenss of sig nature, signing papers," etc.

Detachable Yoke.

A time saver quite new but very
welcome indeed to the busy mother is
the over yoke, as it is called, made of
embroidery and edged at the throa at
and across the front and backs with a
frill of lace or embroidery. 1t has no
sleeves and is intended to be pinned
into place over an absolutely plain
Bingham frock for a child, instantly
converting it into one elaborate. enough
for afternoon wear. The woman who
has to be economical with the wash
will appreciate the help this detatch-
able yoke affords. 1t is particularly
useful for teething babies; for,
being easily pinned into place and
as easily removed when no longer
fresh, it is sure to keep them comfort
ably dry about the throat. Moreover,
it is very popular with the young
mothers who are anxious to have
baby dressed up when visitors ask for
him, it being only moments work to
put one on over the plainest little slip.

Kitchen NIceties.

The cooks hands should be clean!
"Oh, the ideal shifts one. What cook
doesn't wash her hands the first thing
when she begins to prepare food?"
To be sure! But absolute and contin-
ual cleanliness is what is meant by
the present insistence. Not simply
that the hands be washed we'll at the
beginning, but that they be washed
washed-washed repeatedly. A basin
of water at convenient height near
the stove, an ample towel on nail or
rack beside it are indispensable.
Above all, let washing the hands be
the final act before mixing bread.
Thousands of cooks thoughtlessly
handle the furniture, wipe the bread
par with limp dishrag, and even ar
range their hair Immediately before
plunging their hands into the bread
tray.
Meat from the butchers shop should
be washed or carefully wiped with a
moist cloth as sweet and fresh as a
lady's handkerchief just from the
laundry. From slaughter pen to pan
try is long road, and there is time
and room for lodgment of many dis
ease germ and molecule.
1t is a common habit, but fearsome
one, to give children coins as play
things. The baby plays gleefully with
the big silver dollar given by it's
mother, who in turn, has received it
from a street pedler whose pockets
were filthy and whose very scent was
unsanitary. To the dollar itself actual
dirt adheres, but to the artless baby
it is a big wheel to roll, moon to
toss up and look at, tea cake to bite
and candy tablet to suck!-N. e.

HOUSEHOLD.
BOyless Town.


A cross old woman of long ago
Declared that she hated noise;
"The town would be SO pleasant, you know,
If only there were no boys"
She scolded and fretted about it till
Her eyes grew heavy as lead,
And then, of sudden, the town grew still;
For all the boys had fed.
And all through the long and dusty street
There wasn't boy in view;
The baseball lot where they used to meet
Was sight to make one blue,
The grass was growing on every base,
And the paths that the runners made;
For there wasn't soul in all the place
Who knew how the game was played.
The cherries rotted and went to waste
There was no one to climb the trees;
And nobody had single taste,
Save only the birds and bees.
There wasn't messenger boy not one
To speed as such messengers can;
II people wanted their errands done
They sent for messenger man.
There was little, ween, of frolic and noise
There was less of cheer and mirth;
the sad old town, since it lacked it's boys,
Was the dreariest place on earth.
The poor old woman began to weep,
Then woke with a sudden scream;
''Dear mel" she cried; 81 have been asleep,
And o, what horrid dream!"

Prosperity and Short Corn Crop.


Great prosperity and a short corn
crop is Secretary Wilson's explana-
ton of the recent advance in the
price of beef.
81 am not an expert on the trust
question:" said the Secretary of Ag-
riculture day, "but do claim to
know something about the raising
and selling of beef. Others may talk
about the beef combine as much as
they like, but to me the raise in the
price of beef is very easily explained.
1t is due almost wholly to short
corn crop last year, and to a great
demand for beef caused by the pros
perity of the people of the United
States.
"There is great demand for cattle,
and that means great demand for
beef. The people of the United States
are eating more beef now than they
ever did before in their history. This
is because they are making money
and spending it. There are not many
families in this country that do not
have their steaks and roasts and boil
ing pieces. The American people are
by long odds the best-fed people in
the world"
