PUTTING TT STRONG
But Doesn't 1t Look Reasonablee

This may read as though we were
putting it a little strong. because il
is generally thought by the majority
of people that dyspepsia in its chron-
ic form is incurable or practically so
But we have long since shown that
dyspepsia is durable. nor is il such a
difficult matter as it first appears.
The trouble with dyspeptics is that
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves, or going to opposite ex-
treme or else deluging the already
Over-burdened stomach with bit
ters,' ''after-dinner pills." etc, which
invariably increase the difficulty even
if in some cases they do give a slight
temporary relief. Such treatment OF
the stomach simply makes matters
worse What the stomach wants is
a rest. Now how can the stomach be-
come rested, recuperated and at the
same time the body nOurished and
sustained?
This is a great secret, and this i.
also the secret of the uniform sue
cess of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
This is a comparatively new remedy,
but its success and popularity leaves
no doubt as to its merit.
The tablets will digest the food any
way, regardless of condition of stom-
ach.
The sufferer from dyspepsia, ac-
cording to directions, is to eat an
abundance of good, wholesome food
and use the tablets before and after
each meal and the result will be that
the food will be digested no matter
how bad your dyspepsia may be, be-
cause, as before stated, the tablets
will digest the food even if the stom-
ach is wholly inactive. To illustrate
our meaning plainly, if you take 1,S00
grains of meat, eggs or ordinary food
and place it in temperature of 9S
degrees, and put with it one of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets it will digest
the meat or eggs almost as perfectly
as if the meat was enclosed within
the stomach.
The stomach may be ever so weak,
yet these tablets will perform the
work of digestion and the body and
brain will be properly nourished and
at the same time a radical, lasting
cure of dyspepsia will be made be-
cause the much-abused stomach will
be given, to some extent, much
needed rest. Your druggist will tell
you that of all the many remedies adj
vertised to cure dyspepsia none of
them have given so complete and gen
eral satisfaction as Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets, and not least in impor-
lance in these hard times is the fact
that they are also the cheapest and
give the most good for the least
money.

Peace In Sight.

After struggling and lobbying all
day yesterday at the Auditorium, in
Chicago. the minor league baseball
magnates adjourned shortly before 7
O'Clock with the announcement that
no compromise between the Western
league and the American association
had been reached, but that a peace
protocol would undoubtedly be signed
some time today While the minor
leaguers were considerably more mys-
FERROUS and clamlike regarding their
business than the traditions of even
the National league demanded, it was
learned that an entirely new PROPOSE
ton has been submitted to the Amer
lean association as Il last resort, and
this offer the Hickey organization has
taken under advisement until today.
when it will deliver it's acceptance or
refusal to the minor league govern
ing body. As this proposition grants
the American association practically
everything it has been holding out
for, there is every prospect it will be
accepted.

A Great Day at the Methodist Church

A Great Day at the Methodist Church.
Last Sunday marked an era in the
history of the Methodist church at
this place. AS was announced LAST
week, DR.. W. B. Murrah, President of
Millsaps College, filled the pulpit and
preached a sermon of great power and
eloquence. His text was taken from
First Timothy, 4th chapter, 8th verse:
"For godliness is profitable unto all
things, having promise of the life that
now is, and of that which is to come. ~
After the sermon, DR.. Murrah ex-
pressed his qualification at again ap-
pearing before our Brookhaven people,
after lapse of ten years; congratulated
the town upon it's material advance
ment, its beautiful homes and advanc-
ing commercial interests, and then ad-
monished his hearers on behalf of the
building of a new Methodist church.
DR.. Murrah's splendid life and char
acter tell to the world that his aim has
always been toward the loftiest
heights to be attained intellectually
and spiritually; and SC, on this occa-
sion, to be consistent, we presume, he
first asked for individual subscriptions
of 81 900 for the building of the new
church! An audible smile passed over
the congregation, when one liberal
brother, after a gradual graduation of
the amount desired, had his name en-
rolled for $3.50; quite number of both
ladies and gentlemen gave 5000 each,
many 800, and on down to smaller
sums; when, to the joy of the anxious
pastor and sympathizing people, the
aggregate made the sum of $500!
We are informed by Bro. Crisler that
$500 is assured. and that the old
building will soon be replaced by a
handsome frame structure with every
modern convenience. We congratu-
late our brethren upon this forward
move $50 devoutly to be wished"
At night DR.. Murrah again spoke
from the sacred desk to a large con
gregation, many of whom attended the
morning service, and heard him gladly.
We join with many of this distinguished
gentleman's Brookhaven warm friends
in appreciation of his visit and his two
splendid discourses for their benefit,
spiritually and materially. DR.. Murrah
will always be warmly welcomed to
Brookhaven by our people.

II Gen. Porfirio Diaz resigns the Of
fee of president Of Mexico he will be
succeeded by Gen. Bernardo Reyes, the
present minister Of war. If President
Diaz should die suddenly while in Of
fee he would likewise be succeeded by
Gen. Reyes. The accession TO the

by Gen. Reyes through the resigna-

lively peaceful event. Should he Sc
cure the Office through the sudden
death of the present incumbent he will
do so under circumstances which will
give rise to some alarms in foreign
countries whose citizens are interested
financially in Mexico maintaining her
present political stability.
The story that President Diaz is
about to resign has again gone the
rounds of the press of the United
States. 1t is a familiar story, and as
it is based upon perfectly logical out
come of the present situation in Mex
leo. it is readily accepted. 1t is not
believed by those who know the presi-
dent of Mexico that he is anxious to
lay down the tremendous and autocrat-
ic power which he has exercised so
wisely and so long. He realizes, how
ever, that he is getting to be an old
man. He also realizes that, owing to
the peculiar character of his people
and the autocratic form of government
which prevails in Mexico under the
name Of republic, that the win of
the people is not expressed at the bal
lot box, and that new reign cannot
be inaugurated as in the greater and
truer republic to the north.
If President Diaz resigns il viii be
because the love of his country, which
is strong within him, is greater than
his desire to continue to WELD the
scepter.

During his remarkable career DR.,
Kuyper has played many parts. He
has been professor and public lecturer,
a church dignitary and editor of

hailing from Friesland, where their
progenitors engaged in the cooperage
trade.
