BRAIN FOOD
Is of Little Benefit Unless 1t Is Dl-
 gested.

Nearly everyone will admit that as a nation we eat too much meat and too little of vegetables and the grains. For business men, office men and clerks and in fact everyone engaged in seden- tary or indoor occupations, grains, milk and vegetables are much more health full.
 Only men engaged In a severe outdoor manual labor can live on a heavy meat diet and continue in health.
 As a general rule, meat once day is sufficient for all classes of men, women and children. and grains, fruit and vege- tables should constitute the bulk of food eaten.
 But many of the most nutricious foods are difficult of digestion and it is of no use to advise brain workers to eat largely of grains and vegetables where the digestion is too weak to assimilate them properly.
 It is always best to get the best results from our food that some simple and harmless digestive should be taken after meals to assist the relaxed digestive or gans, and several years experience have proven Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to be a very safe. pleasant and effective d- gestive and remedy which may be taken daily with the best results.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly be called a patent medicine, as they do not act on the bowels nor any particular organ, but only on the food eaten. They supply what weak stomachs lack, pepsin diastase and by stimulating the gastric glands increase the natural secretion of hydrochloric acid.
 People who make a daily practice of taking one or two of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal are sure to have perfect digestion which means perfect health.
 There is no danger of forming an injur- ious habit as the tablets contain abso- lufey nothing but natural digestives; cocaine, morphine and similar drugs have no place in a stomach medicine and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are certainly the best known and most popular of all stomach remedies.
 Ask your druggists for a fifty cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and after weeks use note the im- provement in health, appetite and nerv- ous energy.

BIG INDIAN CHIEF
 IS UNDER ARREST
HE IMRlREp TOO MUCH HERE WATER" AND IS LOCKED IN 4 CELL AT POLICE HEAooUAR- TIERS.

Despite the efforts of President Krebs of the Alabama Fair association, some one has distributed whisky pretty gener- ally among the redskins. who are his guests. and several of them have be- come intoxicated That is expressing 1t mildly-they became hilariously drunk, and some trouble was experienced in ar resting one of them yesterday.
 Unable to tell his name. but with fighting jag on this Indian was brought to the city jail by Patrol Driver Mingea, who had arrested him at the request of President Krebs. The 'heap big chief, whose name might be Tame Cow, Fight Ing Tiger and Shedding Snake, was placed in a cell just as any one else would have been, and there he peace fully slept the entire night through.
 The much written of watchfulness of the Indian, who sleeps with one eye open, proved to be a fable if the experi-' ence with this one can be taken as an example. Repeated attempts were made to rouse him from his sleep, but they never even brought forth the proverbial ugh"
 Trouble Is liable to follow this drunk, and that of the other Indians, at the fair grounds last night The government has rigid laws governing the sale of whisky to the Indians. and secret ser vice men are known to have been on the grounds carefully guarding the Indians. George Trusty, a white man, has been arrested on suspicion of selling or giv- ing whisky to them. and if it can be proven he will be turned over to the Uni ted States authority. He is now in jail under charge of disorderly conduct.

Yesterday Good Day.

Yesterday was a good day at the fair. About 5000 people passed through the gates, and the grandstand was conn fortably filled all afternoon. The rac- ing was not as good as on Monday. but the excitement of one running race was enough to make up for the deficiencies in the pacing and trotting events. The running race had only five entries, and the horses were kept at the wire for fifteen minutes, but still the people en- joyed 1t, and it gave a touch of the real thing The time of the race was not good. the three-quarters being made in 1:21. Nora S, the second choice passed under the wire half length fin front of Queen Frieze. the favorite. who had trailed three lengths behind the winning horse all around the track until the stretch was reached, when the jockey whipped the favorite and rapidly closed on the winner. Tom Padden. after hav- ing run away and circled the track three times before he could be stopped, came in third. a half length ahead of Golden Prince, who was in turn half length to the good on Katie Lucas The names of the JockeyS were not known.
 The Racing Events.
 Baron Vincent had no trouble in win ming three straight heats in the 2:25 trot. The first heat he passed the wire with several lengths of daylight showing between his sulky and that of Frank Hunter. the second horse. Dr. Gray came third. The heat was made in the bad time of 2:sS, the winning horse being held most of the way to keep from dis tarcing some of the field, In the second heat Baron Vincent, Renwood, pr. Gray and Harry Woodford finished in the or der named, with very little separating the front horse from the iast-named. The race was pretty. during a portion of

Today- is childrens day at the Alabama


 Today is children's day at the Alabama state fair.
 Over 5000 school children will pass through the gates. Tickets have been sold for that number and the fair asso- citation ran out of the regular tickets, making 1t impossible to issue more. Spe- cial arrangements have, however, been made to sell tickets at reduced price ct the gates today so that any children who failed to get them yesterday can secure them today
 The fair management furnished Dr. J. H. Phillips with 20OO tickets in the first installment. and in short time the superintendent sent back and asked for 2OOO more. These were sent and he rap idly sold them out and said he needed more, but the management had none to send, so they told him to tell the chil- dren to ask for them at the gates.
 The schools will all close at Il o'clock this morning and the children will be given a half holiday to spend at the fair grounds. Several special features will be put on the programme for their benefit, among the most important of which will be the Indians in the lassow- ing and roping contests with the cow boys. In the past the Indians have taken no part in that but this afternoon at 1 o'clock they will enter the race track with the cowboys and aid them in rop- ing and riding broncos and wild cattle.
 It is expected that the crowd today will be the largest of the fair, partially on account of the number of children to be present. With 5000 children and the usual number of adults there should be about 5000 people to pass through the gates today.
 Secret Societies.
 Besides being children's day this is the day for the secret societies and delegates from number of them will be present at the fair. The racing programme calls for better horses than any previous day, and if they come up to the records they are supposed to hold, the fastest races by several seconds should be witnessed today:
 The entries for the races today are: Two-eighteen class, trotting-Effie Hill, Cloverbottom farm: Anna Gay. Clover bottom farm; Summer Fern, W. L. Baker; Mollie Painton, Wallace & Co.,; Briggs, Chenoworth & Anderson; Billy Buck. c. D. Carter; Katie s. Abdiah, J. M Abshire; Lady Thelma, J. H. Nor row.
 Two-twelve class, pacers-Jenks, c. P. Jackson; Annie Caffee F. C.. Newell: Gold Call Corley & Elliott; Frank Keen- en. c. D. Carter; Japo. Jr.. R. M. Abrams; Manga Pierce, Al Lawler; Gar rie Owin, J. B. James.
 The second race calls for horses of class superior to those entered in any of the races which have been pulled off before.
 Tomorrow will be ladies' day. The judges In the beauty show will be at work, and the woman they decide on as being the prettiest will receive lot in the Monte Sano addition. The tourna- ment will also be held, ana all the reg ular attractions.
